Why NYC is worth every last penny
You get what you pay for.

Reason #1: Julia Allison’s $2,550 apartment
Brandon and I pay half that for a two bedroom townhouse with close to 1,800 feet of living space, a full washer/dryer and a backyard. I am 30 minutes from DC by train, less than that by car and only 25 minutes from Baltimore.
I guess it depends what you want out of life. Do you want a yard, lots of closets, and the treasures of Baltimore and DC less than an hour’s drive away when you get bored? Or do you want 375 restaurants, bars, and galleries filled with the most fascinating people on earth and the entire social/intellectual/artistic/professional landscape of NYC at your doorstep? Do you want to live where a new coffee shop gets everyone excited, or in a center of change where the future is being reinvented? Do you want to be part of the action, or just watch it from the suburbs on a large flat-screen high-def TV? Do you want to live in a place that’s only of interest to the people who live there, or in a city the whole world is watching? New York is for people who want to play on a big stage, and for those of us who care about that, there’s nowhere else, and you could mark up my living costs tenfold with no complaints from me (like, what else is the money for?). If that doesn’t concern you, I agree you’re better off saving your money.
I'm officially a democrat
my company just suspended our health care coverage.

“I’m going to tell you what my father told me right before he raped my mother and shot himself in the living room, life is unfair and filled with disappointments, but always keep your head up and stand on a shower curtain liner.”

coworker comes back from a week in Ipswich, MA
me: “so how was Ipswich? I used to live close by in Marblehead..”
coworker: “it was nice but the women are too butch..I wouldn’t want to see my girlfriend/wife drunk in a bar arguing about the red sox with a buffalo wing hangin’ out her mouth.”
House Hunters Cunt-of-the-day: Stephanie, a manager of a tanning salon in Brandon, Mississippi with a muffin top and a bastard son, believes that all three houses within her $120k budget, lack curb appeal.
awkward moment of the day
After asking every other employee individually, finally having to ask my black secretary if that was her watermelon spoiling in the fridge.
I get it, Michael Vick killed dogs and people hate him.
I’m not condoning what he did, but the man was sentenced and served his time.
Meanwhile, Donte Stallworth kills a HUMAN BEING while he was driving drunk, and gets sentenced to 30 days in prison.
Leonard Little was also convicted of vehicular manslaughter in 1998 and has been playing for the Rams for 10 years.
These guys killed PEOPLE. Both served less time in prison AND were given shorter NFL suspensions than Michael Vick.
I’m just sayin’.
Apparently stuffs is goings on in sports world. I’m gonna go listen to the soundtrack to A Chorus Line now.
people suck, dogs are cute.
boss: Did you need to get out of here right at 5 today?
me: um yeah, I have to change my grandmother’s feeding tube
word of advice:
Don’t ever tell your doctor during your annual physical that you’ve used coke in the past..or that you drink more than 5 drinks per week..or even had the occasional drunk cigerette. All this shit stays in his/her files and it will come back to bite you in the ass when you apply for life insurance 10 years from now. You’ll be paying twice as much as everyone else.
