On New York
Anil Dash on the True Center of the Universe
There's a tendency for any positive dialogue about New York to be seen as unseemly, the vain preening of a city already too obsessed with itself. This is mostly the opinion of people whose impression of New York City is stuck somewhere between 15 and 25 years ago, when subway cars were still covered in graffiti, and when city parks were dangerous instead of idyllic. I'm fine with people's outdated notions of New York, though; It keeps them from overcrowding the city with their tourism.

I'm really not sure what to think about Anil. He's so in love with Fresh Direct (remember Kozmo?), he's calling Justin Timberlake the new King of Pop (hardly) AND he thinks that Outkast's "Rosa Parks" was in honor of her (*rolls eyes*) ...
LOL
There can only be one King of Pop, no matter the current bullshit surrounding him. Justin is good for a quick lay, maybe.
And as much as I love Rosa, it's time to move on. She should just enjoy the remainder of her years.
Fresh Direc?! Puh-leeeze! I'm in Brooklyn, we ain't lazy MFers needing folk to deliver our shit.
Thankfully the city isn't overrun with tourists.
;-)
Oh, and if anyone wasn't paying attention, that was sarcasm.
I'm not crazy, donald, I just like playin' crazy. :)
PatCH: I ain't being sarcastic -- I freaking hate (clueless) tourists.
Anil: Playin' crazy is the true sign of a New Yorker.
No, no, no.
I was being sarcastic. Sorry for the confusion, folks. Please step back behind the yellow line.
Poor PatCH. Hopefully your corpse will be photographed by jerkoffs, er... visitors from around the world. ;-)
