Florida=New York Part II

So, I've gotten another phone call. This time from my first ice skating coach. He's going to Florida. Another person lost to Florida. I think he's marrying his old girlfriend, too, but I haven't gotten the full scoop. I usually need 1.5 hours to get the news out of him, since he tends to ramble. Great teacher, but he tends to ramble. I usually find myself multitasking to pass the time while he figures it all out, funny little guy that he is. I love him, but I hate phone ramblings. I hate phones, period. Both here and in Florida, honestly.



My former colleague moved to Florida just last week.



My mother moved to Florida about 4 years ago.



RD is going to go to Florida, too.



Here's an idea: why not rename Florida New York The Sequel? Doesn't that have a nice ring to it?



What the fuck is down there anyway? From what I've seen through 12 visits since 1978 is nothing but doctors hiding from the law (malpractice suits are de rigeur down there), gang activity (Crips and Bloods love recruiting rednecks--it's in the news, I swear!), bad highways, and shitty jobs (Walmart, Walmart, Walmart has killed mom and pop shops.) People get paid minimum wage unless they're in Jacksonville, Miami, or Ocala from what I've heard. You can have a PhD and still only be worth $7.50 per hour. WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!



And everyone asks me, "When are you coming down here?"



When there's a BULLET lodged in my skull, that's when.



I'm sitting and waiting for rioting with the Republican convention next month. Then we vote Bloombucks out, then Pataki, who's killed affordable housing and raised taxes thru the fucking roof which is why everyone is leaving for Florida. New York is getting fucked on the city, state, and federal level. Bloomberg, Pataki, and Bush FUCKED NY. Up the ass raw, no lube, no phone call, no flowers the next day. RAW, I TELL YOU.



When there's a problem, leave? Is that the answer? No, I'll stay and fight thank you very much. I'll vote and demonstrate and raise hell so I won't have to watch everyone I love leave to go to a fucking state I DESPISE. Jersey's too expensive, Pennsylvania's even turning into a NY high priced haven, so what's next? Delaware? New Hampshire? Connecticut? Maryland? I'd rather have my eyes plucked out with a soup spoon than leave the city I love. Not enough of you are fighting, kiddies, and you're beginning to sicken me.



Get off your asses and vote these bastards OUT OF OFFICE!!! You can make a difference!!!! They do whatever they want because there aren't enough protests!!! It's time for anarchy! There are enough Starbucks and Cucinas in this city, KNOCK IT OFF YOU YUPPIE BASTARDS!!!



So, if you see me on the news after getting blasted with pepper spray and rubber bullets near Madison Square Garden, you can say, "I know that crazy bitch! Jesus H. Christ, she wasn't kidding."
