Initially I was disheartened but the more this city descends into sanitized, commercialized, yuppie luxury hell I've been warming to the idea. I always told myself I wouldn't surrender and let the fascists push me out of what remains of New York but the more and more I look at it the more I wonder if there's really anything left of New York to fight for. <BR/><BR/>Up until very recently I've felt nothing but rage and helpless sorrow watching my city die but for some reason I've finally allowed myself to accept the idea of New York hearing it's last few death knells. I've honestly felt a certain serenity now that I've started to let go. I don't know, maybe it's just that the occupying legions of yuppies and trendoids have become so numerous and so ubiquitous that their mere omnipresence has beaten my will into submission, but I'm really this close to simply letting them have it. Why would I want to live like a pauper here amongst vacuous idiots and fascist interlopers when I could enjoy a significantly better standard of living upstate amongst genuine people largely untainted by the vagaries of conspicuous consumption and me-first yunnie culture? So I can have the privilege of continuing to live on the geographical landmass where a city once known as New York stood? Everything that made this city an appealing and vibrant place to live is dead, buried, and pissed on so really, what the fuck is the point of staying here? <BR/><BR/>Upstate looks better and better by the moment.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-45966502607435492872008-08-27T18:00:00.000-04:002008-08-27T18:00:00.000-04:00I Love EV Grieve-and Jeremiah and NMNLKeep up the ...I Love EV Grieve-and Jeremiah and NMNL<BR/>Keep up the good worksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-10906853391306555832008-08-27T14:21:00.000-04:002008-08-27T14:21:00.000-04:00ev grieve is tired and outdated someone shoot h...ev grieve is tired and outdated someone shoot himAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-86488963344055424442008-08-27T08:48:00.000-04:002008-08-27T08:48:00.000-04:00If you're really looking into moving upstate, try ...If you're really looking into moving upstate, try Albany, Troy, or Syracuse.
