A Dollar and a Dream
“Kit Schultz, for example, is 28 and just arrived from Columbus, Ohio. In some ways, her story could have been told anytime in the last 50 years, and in other ways, it’s very typical of right now. She lost her job as a nanny late last year and found her prospects were dim. Before Christmas,…
“Kit Schultz, for example, is 28 and just arrived from Columbus, Ohio. In some ways, her story could have been told anytime in the last 50 years, and in other ways, it’s very typical of right now. She lost her job as a nanny late last year and found her prospects were dim. Before Christmas, she went out for drinks with some old college friends who are living in Brooklyn, and they invited her to come out and stay with them. So she packed a van, headed east, and arrived in New York on New Year’s Eve. A new year, a new life, she thought. Now she says, I am having a great time here, but it’s also very hard. I’ve never been this poor in my life. I don’t exactly know what tomorrow’s stories will be or even how I will pay my cell-phone bill. But I am confident this city will continue to open up for me in ways that I cannot even imagine, and I look forward and forward.” — New York Magazine
Rob – I usually enjoy what you have to say, but some days (like today) i just want to walk a half block to broadway – find the window you sit near and throw my shoe at you!! lol
point taken. but im of the school of thought that straight people shouldnt be allowed to “marry” either. it’s a sick concept that doesnt deserve tax breaks.
*rob*
I agree, Rob. I don’t necessarily need to get married either, but I do think that I should be given the same rights as everyone else. It’s the principal of the matter.
And it’s such a hot button topic, that it does indeed (to me, anyway) allude to a certain amount of progressive attitudes to be for such a thing…
The most recent poll found that only 42% of the population thinks we should be allowed to marry. I guarantee the LARGE majority of that 42% lives on the East and West Coasts…
“What are you talking about, What? Don’t you know she’s gonna be famous and rich one day soon? You should read “One Fifth Ave” by Candace Bushnell. I do believe the main character is from Ohio. You will love it.”
Really?????? Ask her future Pimp “Slickback” if she’s famous! She is a future Pole Smoker!
7 months guys, 7 months…..
The What
Someday this war is goona end…
“crackheads, welfare families”
What exactly makes you better than these people? You can’t look down on them and envy them at the same time. You may have a lot in more common with this stereotype than you are willing to admit.
Eh East New York! Now do you understand what’s going on here?????? These are the same retards that walk down the street and smile in you face but write nasty things about people who was born and raised here! These retards are no better then the people they try to marginalized!!!!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…

i dont equate gay marriage with anything progressive. i cant for the life of me imagine why gay people would want to do something as ridiculous as get married. but hey, that’s just me.

“actually that is pure bullsh-t. nyc and california are regressing as more and more people from the fly over states populate it. duh”
Rob, 3 of the 4 states which now allows same sex marriage are on the Northeast…Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
The 4th is Iowa, which is unlike many midwestern states in the fact that they are a bit more liberal and extremely well educated.
Gov. Paterson on Thursday morning at 10am is introducing a same sex marriage bill for NY State…
How many states have you been to again, Rob…?

Hipster Claptrap! A Asshead coming to Brooklyn and displacing a Middle class family. I wonder why Brownstoner cheers this type of behavior? Maybe he’s trying to change the neighborhood!
“Before Christmas, she went out for drinks with some old college friends who are living in Brooklyn, and they invited her to come out and stay with them. So she packed a van, headed east, and arrived in New York on New Year’s Eve. ”
Note: This piece of filth is still unemployed and living with 5 Douches in a 1 Bedroom apartment, buying 5.00 lattes, sucking down PBR and contributing NOTHING to this city!
” “I am having a great time here, but it’s also very hard. I’ve never been this poor in my life.
Oh yes you have been poor but living with retards makes you feel better!
I don’t exactly know what tomorrow’s stories will be or even how I will pay my cell-phone bill.
The money shot!!!! Just another dirtbag Hipster taking up space, jacking up prices and destroying our fine city!
But I am confident this city will continue to open up for me in ways that I cannot even imagine”
Future Cock master! Blowjobs for PBR!!!
The What
Someday this war is gonna end…
