I just went to a local pub to pick up some food. The people sitting next to me were some of the worst human beings I’ve ever seen in my life. One woman, a old South American lady, was openly dropping N-bombs and talking about how much she hated minorities. The two Jersey meatheads she was with were nodding with her and endorsing her awful beliefs. I really wanted to dump a beer on her head, but I don’t know if that would have been the best thing to do in that situation. I just don’t know how you could be so openly racist in New York. If you don’t like people who are different from you, you should probably get the fuck out of here.
Progress is not the practice of those in the business of sweeping success. Progress overawes—but its work is slow and grim. Progress waits on people to die, and more enlightened people to take their place. Progress works even as the unenlightened abound, but find their ranks thinned and their positions exposed.
Specifically, democratic progress is not revolution and can never be the gospel of people who measures success by complete victories achieved in singular life-times. Instead it is reserved for those who are unrelenting in struggle, patient beyond their mortal coil, and willing to wage wars across generations.

I saw Tony Hale (Buster from Arrested Development) and Justin Tuck (Giants defensive end, guy with a giant head) on the 10 minute walk from my office to the subway this evening. What a day! This is why I came back to New York.
Real Estate - It’s Real
Two of my favorite things: Real Estate and dogs. I love it when my favorite bands make great videos.
I’m so glad somebody actually made this, because it’s the first thing that popped into my head after seeing that episode of Mad Men. I would of made it myself if I had any musical talent.
