Sometimes ...

whoknows by whoknows · Feb 14, 2003 · 404 views · Journal

This is the worst city in the world. It's sooooo gross. It might look all bright and flashy from far away, but the MOMENT you get inside the city it's like GROOOOSSSSS and ugly. I hate it. I hate it and I work here so i'm here EVERY weekday. UGH. It's such a weird city. Homeless people EVERYWHERE, and i mean EVERY-STINKIN-WHERE!! AND it's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dirty!! AND.. weird stuff happens all the time, like people jumping off buildings, banks being robbed, just like, weird stuff, but not cool weird stuff that you'd like to see, like when you're in NYC you sometimes come across some WEIRD stuff and STRANGE WACKOS but like, you love it and you wanna remember it forever. Here, it's like, PLEASE let that weird sight get out of my memory ASAP. And you would think they had money from all these stupid casinos. I hate this city. Don't ever come here.

ilikebirds #2.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

last night in the liqour store there was this homeless guy.. and he like followed us around for a bit and starting mumbling stuff and like the whole staff was like around him... to make sure he didn't do anything.. and he was like " i want to buy a drink for the ladies " hahaha i was dying. anyway .. i'm out. like a fat kid in the game of " lets see who weighs the least "

tighty whities need to be banned-esp in public. what i love about the city is all wierdos always singing and dancing on the street. there was one guy dressed as Shaft doing some disco. And not even for money, it was for his own sheer twisted pleasure. good times.

reaf #3.2.2 reafOG 2002

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

magnum #4 magnumOG 2001

we took 2 cabs in atlantic city and both drivers were wacked... the first one wanted to show us his shotgun in the trunk and screamed at people as he drove and the other had some wack thing with his voice then again it was 5:30 am so who knows

reaf #4.1 reafOG 2002

why would you take a cab drive in atlantic city?

magnum #4.1.1 magnumOG 2001

cause we went to a car show and didnt wanna drive to it... it was like 8$ for everyone to get there

forrestina #4.2 forrestinaOG 2002

Letterman did a top ten the other night on NYC cabbies:


Top Ten Things You Don't Want To Hear In A New York City Taxi


10. "I have to tell you this up front -- I don't have a driver's license, I never had a driver's license, and I don't plan on getting a driver's license"


9. "Just so you know, this cab is clothing-optional"


8. "If the cops pull us over, keep quiet -- I got stolen TVs in the trunk"


7. "You know anything about cars? (holds up loose car part) Where's this go?"


6. "Put on your seat belt -- I'm going to ram into this car"


5. "You seem so sad -- why don't you talk to Mr. Sunshine?" (holds up little doll)


4. "I'm only filling in for the regular driver -- he got called back to serve in the Iraqi Army"


3. "I'm only two traffic violations away from setting a new cab driver record"


2. "In the event of an accident, my mustache will inflate"


1. "Hey, did you hear Bloomberg said we can drink in the cab?" (takes a swig from a bottle)

ok4now #4.2.1 ok4nowOG 2002

...and they had a camera in a cab showing the cabbie saying these things. on the last one, this real uppity woman shrieks, "you're not really drinking, are you?!!!!?" ROFL

forrestina #4.2.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

haha he had the hugest bottle of liquor too!

ok4now #5 ok4nowOG 2002

are u talking about indian reservations?

whoknows #5.1 whoknowsOG 2003

no, atlantic city, the city of filth and corruption

ok4now #5.1.1 ok4nowOG 2002

owe...i thought that was vegas

whoknows #5.1.1.1 whoknowsOG 2003

Yeah.. but I think vegas is nicer. AC is just UGGGGGGGGLY it's like the worst parts of NYC but the whole city looks like that.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

i don't know...lucy the elephant is pretty kewl

iwz iwz

haha that elephant is so lame

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

EVERY time we went there the museum was closed

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

it's so kewl upstairs...and people used to live there. i wish i could move in...then we'd have the next ezabel party inside an elephant!

ekulu #6 ekuluOG 2002

"the" city, as in new york? i hope its not that bad. im gonan be there this summer

beachbum #6.1 beachbumOG 2002

it's probably comparable to where you live. manhatten isn't too bad. i'm sure you won't be too shocked. much faster pace, though.

ekulu #6.1.1 ekuluOG 2002

just bigger, prolly dirtier, and taller buildings

malibu #6.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

new york is not that bad. i love going there. maybe i'm just used to it but nothing ever bothers me. the subway system is just really hard to navigate.

magnum magnumOG 2001

nah once u get a hang of it, its easy... just memorize the train letters and where they go

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

and don't evade the fares! ($60 fine!)

magnum magnumOG 2001

and jail. i know of someone who spent over night in jail

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

yikes! (guess i lucked out)

magnum magnumOG 2001

sad thing it wasnt his fault, girl behind him thought it would be cool to squeeze to people through it, 2 cops on other side didnt think so... So one of them was goin to jail, wouldnt be nice for her to spend day in nyc jail so he went instead

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 magnum

jail sounds a bit harsh...sure he didn't have a warrant already?

magnum magnumOG 2001 ok4now

nah it was a choice either he went or she did

beachbum beachbumOG 2002

you can get a pop up map at a newstand or anywhere and it has a map of manhatten w/ where stuff is and a subway map. it's great. i used mine so much i've memorized it.

thatdarngirl #7 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I enjoy philly..it's cool. My sister lives two blocks down from the playground featured in the Fresh Prince

hunkpapap #7.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

i used to work a couple blocks from the playground featured in the mountain dew red commercial, the one in the city.

ok4now #8 ok4nowOG 2002

...all i need is the air that i breathe and to love you

ilikebirds #9 ilikebirdsOG 2002

yea but i can't wait until i become homeless... and i can wear a sign that says " why lie, i need a beer ".

punkprincess #9.1 punkprincessOG 2001

HAHAHA! seriously thats great! i would give money to that!

skaorsk8 #9.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

no you wouldn't. you'd probably steal his sign and sell it to some other homeless person in exchange for a volkswagon cabriolet.

hunkpapap #9.2 hunkpapapOG 2003

seriously, one of the funniest bums i ever saw in the city didn't have a gimmick. He would be on this one corner and just demand money. He would just keep saying, 'I need money' and shove his hand in your face. He didn't do so well, but it was funny.

ekulu #9.2.1 ekuluOG 2002

one bum we saw everywhere we went asking "can i please have something to eat". everysingle day we would see him, like he was following us. one day he even came into the kh and interupted the meeting

forrestina #10 forrestinaOG 2002

i know someone who used to shout at the homeless people that if they wanted some extra spending money they should at least try to look less like a corporate executive posing as a homeless person.

ok4now #10.1 ok4nowOG 2002

and now THAT person is homeless?

forrestina #10.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

nuh uh VERY wealthy actually

ok4now #10.1.1.1 ok4nowOG 2002

sure! ruin the imagery!

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

doof! did it again....sorry

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

nor ur not...ur just pretending. pink eye will do that to ya

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

nah it's ulcer(s) in my eye now
