Rollin, rollin, keep them doggies rollin...



Insanity abounds, but I was extra fast this morning. Blazed to work, opened the door at exactly 8:59 am.



I caused quite a commotion on the X37 express by shouting at the driver to put the air on. It's 90% humidity and the bus was about 80 degrees. I sat there dripping after running down the block. Other people piped in only AFTER I said something, which is why I'm convinced 98% of people are sheep. I love when they turn around and look at me. I always go "WHAT??!! Did I say something WRONG?" They usually turn and go back to grazing like the idiots they are. I am decidely un-PC in a time where it's insurmountable to say the right thing, the thing no one else has the guts to, or simply the truth. My golly gee willigers, someone's feelings might get hurt. Bad enough the MTA's dissecting my paychecks piece by piece, I have to sit at 8 am and sweat like a pig? OH, fuck that. It's humid and hot. You're at work, I'm trying to get there. Turn the damn air on.



Then I told 23rd St to go kiss my ass by hopping on the 6 train---4 short stops to 51st street where I blazed up the blocks past St. Pat's into my building. Can't be too careful or paranoid with job-hockey ruling the order of the day. This place is becoming a business just like everything else. If I could go back in time? I would have signed up for every business class available in high school and took classes on entrepreneur ventures. More people are working at shittier jobs with less pay, no benefits, and a sense of being on a tightrope with no net. At least if I failed, I could only blamed myself, the location, or my business plan.



Personally, I'm ready for this city to bottom out. The divide's coming between the ultra-rich and the poverty stricken. What these corporate-minded yuppie bastards don't realize is that class division will divide their ranks as well. If the ultra-rich keep getting richer, the somewhat-rich will drop down to what once was the lower middle-class. The merely rich will be considered the poor, the destitute, the "wanting". Anyone who knows a damn thing about yuppies is how much they despise drops in status of any kind. They are so image-conscious, so consumer-addicted, and success-driven that they simply will not stand to be in a lower level of anything. God forbid New York Magazine drops their neighborhoods or martini bars from the Top Ten Lists, oh it's a travesty for all concerned. Not getting a table at Sarabeth's? Steve Madden shoes suddenly being as worthless as Pay Less? Oh god, get out your umbrellas, those bloody bodies will be hitting the pavement very soon after plunging from their condo windows.



There's a change coming kiddies. The middle class will only stand for getting kicked in the head for so long. Bloomberg and his cronies are going to get their asses kicked in the next election, make sure you're registered to vote. And Bush and his "invented" war---well, I can't wait to see what happens there. People have had enough of lies and spin. I thought "Wag the Dog" was a so-so movie. I watched it again recently and shivered. That's exactly what we're living in, and boy, it scares the holy hell outta me.



I'm all for rioting in the streets. Just gimme a bat and I'm ready.
