“Bruce” L.I.C. New York 1990
Bruce was a great mechanic…He disappeared twenty years ago and was never seen again. He owed some people a lot of dough…Oh well.

Diamonds are NOT your best friend!
With all the focus on Occupy Wall Street these days, I felt like pointing out that there is a block in midtown where the people are even greedier if you can believe that. On West 47th Street I always get a very weird and creepy feeling as I walk down the block. I feel like all the men trying to usher me into their little shops are fucking creatures, barely human. Money has left them so stripped of any other quality worth mentioning. I see no saving grace for any of the merchants who pander to people in love, and then sell them shiny little pebbles as a symbol of true love. I have always hated the whole concept of diamonds and wondered how they have managed to mesmerize so many generations of women into craving them…
I stopped for a second and then split, nausea building up inside me. I felt the same way in Vegas, and barely spent an hour there…

Winter 1993
I guess the city decided to offer a few bucks to some of the less fortunate New Yorkers to come uptown and shovel away the stagnant ice, which was making it difficult for the crosstown bus to park in front of my old house…

Upper West Side 1989
If the economy doesn’t improve soon, the homeless population may increase to the levels of the 1980s when the rents almost tripled in just three years from 1982-1985…
