It's always been something of a personal guideline that if I have to draw an arrow pointing to a picture of myself to state that I'm "not insane" I may need to reevaluate my life-choices.

I admire his gumption, but it makes me feel a little bad for the guy, like he's fifteen and wants to date an ideal, not an actual human being. There must be 50,000 girls who look like this in New York. Go forth and talk to one of them, Patrick.

Anyone who's lived in New York knows that the hypothetical "girl of your dreams" (or guy) is everywhere. You can't throw a rock without hitting someone good looking in this town. It's when you start talking to them, however, you realize it isn't that easy.

It really isn't that hard to meet girls in New York -- unlike other places, you can simply strike up a conversation and see how it goes.

People here are surprisingly friendly... you just need a combination of fearlessness and respectfulness to meet girls.

Sat across with a velvet jacket
Wild orange hair and dark, dark eyes
I gawked like a twelve-year-old - smitten
Carla the stripper,
Straight from l.a.
You seem cool for a naked chick in a booth
Lets be pals some day
In other words,
Put some clothes on and call me

I saw you
It was incredible

Slim, relax,
Fine wine at the (qfc)
On a snowy saturday night
Black pearls and I swear you were drinkin beer
You were the redhead behind the counter there
Im the one who fell off his chair there
You had your dry-cleaning and I think youre dreaming

I saw you
It was incredible
Mumbled these words at you
Unintelligible

My, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my

My, my, my, my

What's that old newspaper promotion saying? Only bad news is no news? He's certainly going to get at least some media attention for this. It's quirky and it hasn't been done recently in the public consciousness's memory.

Eponysterical.

Why is this eponysterical? Because robocop is bleeding is describing an action he took that will likely lead to someone else bleeding? Are these good-looking people he hits with rocks likely to be robocops? Is any comment he makes that mentions blood or the possibility of bleeding eponysterical? What if he mentions a law enforcement officer that is neither robotic nor injured--is that still eponysterical?

Dear Patrick,
I'm pretty sure I don't know her. I haven't ridden the 5 train to Bowling Green in awhile, since I moved from downtown Brooklyn years ago. Oh wait, I did ride it like a year-and-a-half ago to go to a friend's party in Dumbo, but that's a distant sob from 9:30pm on Nov. 4, 2007. It was a fun party, though. Excellent crab dip.
Come to think, she does look a bit like my friend Sarah, but I'm pretty sure the shorts-over-tights look isn't her style. Although who knows, I haven't seen her in like a month or two. This city, I tell ya. So yeah, what the hell - I'll ask her. If you don't hear back from me though, you can pretty much count me out help-wise. Cheers.

i'm not tall or skinny, and have very little hair, but i'm afraid that i must (after 7-8 years of denying it) finally self-identify as a hipster because i: listen to indie rock, ride a bicycle, wear $1 t-shirts, and occasionally drink cheap beer, especially in bars (i also drink good beer when i'm feeling flush). PBR is not bad. neither is Old Milwaukee or Busch. please don't hate me.

in my twenties, i would fall in love at first sight with all sorts of women. after the 13th or so time, i realized it probably wasn't love.

also, for goodness sake, TALK TO WOMEN (AND MEN) WHOM YOU THINK YOU MIGHT LIKE. indeed it can be very painful to be embarrassed with a bad response, but it's over in a few minutes and preferable to never knowing what might have happened.
