I am buying a house today, with the closing in a couple of hours. It was a weird feeling running around to multiple banks yesterday taking out money and getting bank checks. While we all speculate on the further decline in the market, I had this feeling that what was really becoming worthless was CASH. I assume that my new old house in Park Slope will go down in value for the short run, but I feel better having it than money in the bank. After my whole life along the Brooklyn waterfront, I’m moving within 6 blocks of my high school John Jay. The whole world is starting to feel like the 70’s again. Onward and upward in the borough of Kings!!

Rob, the only thing keeping me from an illegal profession such as a pimp at this point is my fear of jail and the simple fact that I don’t think I’d look so hot in prison gear. I also don’t see myself sending out prison mail that includes a photo of me doing the standard jail pose 🙂

hey snaps, ive been (im being serious) been thinking about going into the pimp business. (not asking you to be one of my ho’s or anything) but maybe you can co-pimp with me. 🙂
(ive been reading the best book ever called Pimp by Iceberg Slim) and i like what i see and hear. (i wouldnt be one of those violent or abusive pimps tho). it’s funny pimps get a bad rep as taking girls’ money and beating them up but really that that isnt the case. most pimps actually do care about their girls and try to make it a legitimate two-way business.

i think it’s a gross and disgusting morning, but good morning anyway 🙂 anyone have any fun plans for the weekend? (im bringing my dog to prospect park tomorrow for the first time). question tho.. he will be leashed, i dont believe in unleashed dogs ANYWHERE in the city but i know that in the park there are dogs unleashed before 9am? im going around noon. am i going to run into trouble with people who have their dogs off leash?

Mornin’ sir!

I have a question for you folks. Can anyone recommend a good but cheap career advisor/resume counselor rolled into one? I’m seriously frustrated with the job search process and need to speak to someone as a last ditch effort before I pack up my sh*t and bounce out of NYC. Any leads would be appreciated. 🙂
