The city was full of all the folks I love here and very few idiot wannabbes or conspicuously spending consumerismos throwing their purported financial might around. So much more relaxing to be at home with the oddballs, flakes and regular folks who make this place so damn great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-70694371777149515402008-07-14T15:23:00.000-04:002008-07-14T15:23:00.000-04:00I meant to say 1/3 yuppie, clearly.I meant to say 1/3 yuppie, clearly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-29432073842341478812008-07-14T15:22:00.000-04:002008-07-14T15:22:00.000-04:00Anonymous 2:17,That really sums it up.

Nonetheless, NYC does not know the difference between the real yuppies and the posers, thus the opening of all these chic boutiques and wine bars, without any regards to those who are otherwise. People in Houston, and San Francisco, however, are real, regardless of their class status. I guess, my point is that NYC is a haven for shallow, materialistic, and pretentious people. So, yeah, <I>suffer</I> (if not die) you yuppie and yuppie wannabe scums.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
