Crus House of DoguesDecember 03 New Yorkers ruleThis is for all the transplanted new yorkers I am a New Yorker = I am a New Yorker I do not live in the five boroughs or on the Island or Upstate I may live hundreds or thousands of miles away Or I may live just over the GW Bridge But I am a New Yorker I am a New Yorker Whatever took me out of New York: Business, family or hating the cold did not take New York out of me. My accent may have faded and my pace may have slowed But I am a New Yorker = I am a New Yorker I was raised on Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and Rockefeller Plaza, The Yankees or the Met's (Giants or Dodgers) Jones Beach, Rye Beach, Orchard Beach or one of the beaches on the sound I know that 'THE END' means Montauk. Because I am a New Yorker = I am a New Yorker When I go on vacation, I never look up Skyscrapers are something I take for granted The Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty are part of me Taxis and noise and subways and 'get outa heah' don't rattle me Because I am a New Yorker = I am a New Yorker I was raised on cultural diversity before it was politically correct I eat Greek food and Italian food, Jewish and Middle Eastern food and Chinese food Because they are all American food to me. I don't get mad when people speak other languages in my presence Because my relatives got to this country via Ellis Island and chose to stay They were New Yorkers = People who have never been to New York have misunderstood me My friends and family work in the industries, professions and businesses that benefit all Americans My firefighters died trying to save New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers They died trying to save Americans and non-American Because they were New Yorkers. I am a New Yorker I feel the pain of my fellow New Yorkers I mourn the loss of my beautiful city I feel and dread that New York will never be the same But then I remember: I am a New Yorker = And New Yorkers have: Tenacity, strength and courage way above the norm Compassion and caring for our fellow citizens Love and pride in our city, in our state, in our country Intelligence, experience and education par excellence Ability, dedication and energy above and beyond Faith--no matter what religion we practice Terrorists hit America in its heart But America's heart still beats strong Demolish the steel in our buildings, but it doesn't touch the steel in our souls Hit us in the pocketbook; but we'll parlay what we have left into a fortune End innocent lives leaving widows and orphans, but we'll take care of them Because they are New Yorkers = Wherever we live, whatever we do, whoever we are There are New Yorkers in every state and every city of this nation We will not abandon our city We will not abandon our brothers and sisters We will not abandon the beauty, creativity and diversity that New York represents Because we are New Yorkers And we are proud to be New Yorkers = = REMEMBER THE WTC Author - Vincent Pasquale, Maspeth, NY Thank you Vincent for allowing us to share this with our fellow New Yorkers all around the world. Only those that grew up or lived in NYC can understand the meaning of this: THERE IS NO NORTH AND SOUTH. IT'S 'UPTOWN' OR 'DOWNTOWN.' IF YOU'RE REALLY FROM NEW YORK, YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONCEPT OF WHERE NORTH AND SOUTH ARE...AND EAST OR WEST IS 'CROSS-TOWN.' YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE AN EGG CREAM. YOU RIDE IN A SUBWAY CAR WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING JUST BECAUSE THERE ARE SEATS AVAILABLE. YOU TAKE THE TRAIN HOME AND YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE ON THE PLATFORM THE DOORS WILL OPEN THAT WILL LEAVE YOU RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE EXIT STAIRWAY. YOU KNOW WHAT A 'REGULAR' COFFEE IS. IT'S NOT MANHATTAN...IT'S THE 'CITY.' YOU CROSS THE STREET ANY WHERE BUT ON THE CORNERS AND YOU YELL AT CARS FOR NOT RESPECTING YOUR RIGHT TO DO IT. YOU MOVE 3,000 MILES AWAY, SPEND 10 YEARS LEARNING THE LOCAL LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE STILL KNOW YOU'RE FROM BROOKLYN, LONG ISLAND OR THE BRONX, THE MINUTE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH. YOU RETURN AFTER 10 YEARS AND THE FIRST FOODS YOU WANT ARE A 'REAL' PIZZA AND A 'REAL' BAGEL. A 500 SQUARE FOOT APARTMENT IS LARGE. YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION THAT ANY HUMAN BEING WOULD BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND A P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE SUBWAY. YOU WOULDN'T BOTHER ORDERING PIZZA IN ANY OTHER CITY. YOU GET READY TO ORDER DINNER EVERY NIGHT AND MUST CHOOSE FROM THE MAJOR FOOD GROUPS WHICH ARE: CHINESE, ITALIAN, MEXICAN OR INDIAN. YOU'RE NOT THE LEAST BIT INTERESTED IN GOING TO TIMES SQUARE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE. YOUR INTERNAL CLOCK IS PERMANENTLY SET TO KNOW WHEN ALTERNATE SIDE OF THE STREET PARKING REGULATIONS IS IN EFFECT. YOU KNOW WHAT A BODEGA IS. SOMEONE BUMPS INTO YOU AND YOU CHECK FOR YOUR WALLET. YOU DON'T EVEN NOTICE THE LADY WALKING DOWN THE ROAD HAVING A PERFECTLY NORMAL CONVERSATION WITH HERSELF. YOU PAY 'ONLY' $230 A MONTH TO PARK YOUR CAR. YOU CRINGE AT HEARING PEOPLE PRONOUNCE HOUSTON ST. LIKE THE CITY IN TEXAS. THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT IS A MAJOR TRAFFIC JAM, NOT AN HONOR. YOU CAN NAP ON THE SUBWAY AND NEVER MISS YOUR STOP. THE DELI GUY GIVES YOU A STRAW WITH ANY BEVERAGE YOU BUY, EVEN IF IT'S A BEER. THAT'S NEW YORK, BABY! YA GOTTA LOVE IT August 16 Bush is a no class redneckJune 17 More messed up shit about 911I am not a conspiracy theorist but i have seen some crazy shit about 911 that is hard to deny and i am a scientific person and the fact that no buildings in the history of the world have ever collapsed due to fire unlike WTC bulidings 1,2 and 7 did on 911 it leads me to not believe the "official story" so here is a picture that shows the bbc reporting the collapse of tower 7 on 911 20 minutes before the tower collapsed with a live feed in the background and in the picture you can clearly see tower 7 still standing. Mysterilously the satelite feed was interupted 5 minutes before the actual time of the collapse so when the BBC were asked for there video tapes of the day they claim they were lost. How can a worldwide news organization lose tapes from one of the craziest news days in the history of the world. All the factual evidence from that day proves that the towers, all three buildings, were taken dwon by controlled demolition. Who is responsible? I dont know but i do know that scientific facts regarding the collapeses and the prior knowledge of the event by the news media and government shows that what appears to have happened that day is not what really happened. Look at the photo and decide for yourself. April 26 Funny sentence in a gamestop gaurantee Check out the last sentence of this gamestop gaurantee for GTA IV. I think it is hilarious. Not responsible for delayed orders due to the delivery drivers truck getting stolen. Of all the things to cover your ass on this is the one they chose.
