Welcome to Monty's!
Hooky doo, boys and girls! Welcome to any first-time visitors, i.e. anyone who is not my one dedicated fan. I am trying to decide what to do with this weblog, and I would appreciate any suggestions. Monty is here for the kids! Please feed back any ideas by clicking on the 'comments' button. In the meantime I have been trying different themes each day. So far this has been a site about accounting, and a site of reviews (see below)
For today, this is a site of
Vaguely Ponderous and/or Wryly Smirking Cynical Observations about Life in New York City
You ever notice how it's in times of strife that New Yorkers really come together? Me neither. I notice how newspeople like to talk about it, though. Apparently (I was upstate), during the Massive Apocalypic Blackout of 2003, NYC residents, though darkness was all around them, Really Shined Through....which I guess means they didn't just start stabbing each other? But let us celebrate these local heroes...
Like those courageous people at the supermarket, who, despite the risks, despite the pessimistic cautionary warnings, refused to give up on their unrefrigerated dairy! And then delivered moldy slices of muenster cheese, not once, but twice, to my office the following week! Hail to the moldy heros! I am going to make photocopies of the moldy slices and fax them to the supermarket. Were they slightly thinner, I would fax the slices themselves, but alas, it is not to be.
But what about those everyday heroes? Because remember, every day is tragic in New York City. For those who don't know, most of our summer has been shitty and rainy. This week has been about the first week all summer which has featured actual summer-like weather, which means hot and humid. So now the news, which has been whining about the rain for two months, is asking When Will this Heat Wave Be Over? A special Heat Advisory has been issued! Which amounts to: "Warning: It is Summer! Do not go out in a fur coat!"
It's inspiring to see how people have really come together in the Great New York Heat Wave of August 21-22, 2003. For example, there was the really sweaty guy on the subway...who did not use my shirt to mop the copious sweat off of his neck and forehead! What a hero! Then there was the guy at the deli who, when I was thirsty, gave me a 0.5 liter bottle of water for two dollars! And I will thank, in advance, the young mother in my building who will wake me up early tomorrow by screaming "Fuck You!" to her young children because she doesn't like the way they are acting in their kiddie pool! By waking me nice and early, she will remind me that I have a full wonderful day ahead of me!
Okay, I really didn't mean for this site to be bitchy. I had written something much longer and nicer earlier today but then I fucked up and lost it. So I will just sign off for now, yours, lovingly,
~Monty
