Interesting article from the NYT. What I had seen happen in my own life is actually a phenomon. Young people are fleeing upstate NY in droves. read the article its quite intersting:
One thing that did ring true was:
In the Rochester area, Andrew Allen's older sister, Laura Jeanne Hammond, 26, returned to her hometown after graduating in 2001 from the University of Missouri with a journalism degree. She was hired as managing editor of Next Step Magazine, which is distributed in school guidance offices, and also founded a social group, Rochester-Area 20-Somethings. "My friends escaped to New York City for a life of poverty and I bought a house and started a family," she said.
Personally I prefer the poverty to suburbia and kids. I mean sometimes the poverty gets to you, but mostly everyone is poor so it's ok.
On another note, as I was washing the glass to drink my bottle of cheap wine I sliced the area between my thumb and pointer open. I think I could have used a stich or two seeing as how it hasn't stoped bleeding. So now I have sad feelings and a sad thumb. It seems fitting.

Boys who suck, and not in the good wayCategory: boys
Oh my god. So recently I've been having this crush on this boy who I thought to be ultra adorable and fantastic. Turns out he is just a jerky slutty mcslut. He has umteen girls all over the globe. And by all over the globe I really do mean, France, Germany, London, NYC. Fucking A. The problem is I actually had some warm fuzzy feeling type things about what was happening. Turns out he is just another boy who is going to make me cry while I drink a entire bottle of Three Buck Chuck. Great.

hehe, i thought it was two buck chuck. easier said than done, but i say heed the words of my silly ex "boys are animals. not worth the tears." I just found out that this guy that is totally all over me and i thought was all crazy about me (but i'm not sure i like)- is totally dating like two other people.

Thomas JeffersonCategory: mullets
According to the Book American Sphinx The Character of Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson had the first documented mullet. The book goes on to describe his hair during his stay in France during August of 1784 as:
His hair was now more sandy than red, but just as thick and full as ever, cut so that it covered his ears, then tied back so as to fall just below his collar
I don't know about you guys but if that description doesn't say business in the front and party in the back, then i don't know what does.
Rock on Thomas J.
I also discovered last night that there is such a thing as too much beef. Anyone who has been to Brazilian BBQ knows this.

So when I first read this I was at a doctors office with a bunch of old ladies, on my phone. Ok, ok some of them were only older, but what ever. After reading I commenced to immediatly laugh out loud (not lol, since this was RL) and they lady sitting next to me commented with, "Really?".
I had to read them your post. They were quite amused. Yes..., the Ho sisters are just about 2 of my favorite peopole in the dang world. Sigh...
Keep it up.
