I left my heart in New York
Of all the traits that make up the wonderful me… being a New Yawker is a major one. For some reason people nail me as being from NY from a block away. Maybe it’s because that’s how far my voice carries. If it’s not my voice, maybe it’s because I kiss everyone I meet twice courtesy of being an Italian NYer. ‘Cause you never know who in the hell you are indirectly related to and the last thing you need is your Aunt Cookie smacking you in the face with her 300 pound arm for ignoring Little Joey. Whatever. Both sides of my family got off the damn boat, stepped on to Ellis Island and never left the shores and beautiful beaches of New York City.
September 11. So, I can write a beautiful moving piece about the greatest city in the entire world but chances are only NYers would really get it. Oh, I know we don’t own this tragedy shit. It happened to all of us. The fucking nuts took all of our safety and naïve bliss away. But these are my thoughts on 9/11 from a New Yawker’s perspective.
As a NYer I say this loud and clear without a tear in my eye. You guys are all sick fuckers. I mean, do any of you care one shit about my city? FUCK NO. You’re all just reading on and on all of these articles hoping against all hope that one of us is going to show you a nasty picture of a dead body. Or give you some graphic article about some fireman running through a hallway with nothing but blown apart limbs. Or about the woman who was killed when some little kid got blown out of a window and the kid’s body hit the woman so hard her head flew off. So I don’t want to hear anymore about 9/11 because you got your nasty quota from us NYers.
And another thing - you should all be thanking whatever fucked up patriarchal Gods you pray to that he sent along another devastation in the form of Hurricane Katrina, because the entire 9/11 thing is getting old. Now you can all sit around watching TV just waiting with bated breath to indeed find out the body count is over 10,000. Sick fuckers. And W00T - as an added bonus because you have all been so good you get the added benefit of talking about a FUCKED UP Government along with your body count. You guys can just crack out on the dead, the homeless, and the floating animals.
As far as 9/11 goes, fuck off and let us rebuild our city.
