maxlance1 This shouldn’t be a nostalgia day. It’s a perfect seventy degrees in the Southland while NYC is getting knocked with those freezing water rain pelts (I think there is another word for this). I was just thinking about how all the fun has been taken out of reading ever since I moved west. This is [...]

No Comments » January 25th, 2010 maxlance1 Jersey Shore had its season finale last week with the genuine bombshell leading to Sammi and Ronnie breaking up (I’m not sure which was the guy and the girl). Italian-American defamation leagues did their usual protesting and boycotting of MTV, arguing that the show promotes negative stereotypes of Italian heritage. The protesters then threatened to [...]

The knockoff wallet dude is always chill, sitting along the sidewalk playing dominoes with cell phone [...]

So, fuck [...]

I wonder if the architects of crappy structures and landmarks – be it in major cities or crappy towns across the Midwest (I’m looking at you, Cincinnati) – dream of this [...]

In New York an extremely bad date can be arguably just as good as a pretty good date. In New York, a great date is the best, but [...]

Why is that joggers always get raped, mugged and sexually assaulted? Shouldn’t they be jogging? I mean, how in-shape are these rapists? This makes no sense to me. They’re [...]

I have no problem with waiting for the late-night 1 train, the time it takes to get uptown isn’t a problem and the neighborhood is one of the best in the city. But it seems like my patience [...]
April 23rd, 2009 maxlance1 I’ve had a lot of success with European women in the past. Not relegated to any country in specific, but just as a continent, I seem to do better there than women in any other continent (maybe neck-and-neck with North America). I was discussing this with other likeminded New York Jews (by the way, doesn’t that [...]
April 23rd, 2009 maxlance1 Ever try and cross a street, but your path manages to perfectly intersect a massive street demonstration and you find yourself accidentally leading the gay pride parade? One second you’re just minding your own business, trying to walk across town and the next you’re leading a movement of sorts. It’s a difficult position because you [...]
