UPDATE, 2:30 p.m.: It has been brought to my attention (see comments) that this screed is continued on the other side of the column. Here it is.
P.S.: Today’s offerings will be lite as I have had a cold the last couple days. When not sleeping I have been savoring the teeth rattling din of the street in front of my apartment being ripped up.
AT 7:00 AM IN THE MORNING.
I love the smell of asphalt in the morning.

Some of you probably know ground has been broken for the new soccer field which will grace Bushwick Inlet Park. What you probably do not know is (per a most curious anonymous source) I have been told there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony with none other than our fair Mayor as well as “other elected officials and Commissioner Benepe†this upcoming Monday, July 6, 2009! The festivities will kick off at either 9:00 or 10:00 a.m. (I am awaiting confirmation for all of this— if/when I get a firm time and date I will post them here.)
Well kids, I have a confirm on the time: between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m.
Ribbon Cutting Ceremony For the New Soccer Field At Bushwick Inlet Park

Time: 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. (closer to 11:00)

Brooklyn, New York 11211Why not swing by and see the select few who were invited to this most auspicious event?
Well, here’s the “local media”. Aaron Short (A Short Story), Juliet Linderman (Greenpoint Gazette), and Jeff Mann (Greenpoint Gazette). I was uninvited.
But not unconcerned.
My concern involves a short story.
A VERY short story indeed!
A post that is comprised only of comments.
This wasn’t the case last week. You can read the rest of the comments here.
Which brings me back to this short story. It was excised. Follows is facsimile of it since Mr. Short has seen to censor himself so as to curry favor. With the right people.
You must be desperate if you’re pimping for votes in north Brooklyn, David. In the cockfight between you and John on Bedford. You lost. Plain and simple.
I vote old school “Texas Style”, e.g; I do not vote for a candidate, I vote against the one who offends me most. It’s like picking between syphilis and gonnorrhea. If Lucifer himself was to put his name on the ballot I’d vote for him. AGAINST YOU. For the simple reason that I little doubt the devil himself could wreak more havoc and destruction on north Brooklyn than you, David Yassky, already have.

UPDATE, 2:50 p.m.: This story on A Short Story is back up! See the comments for Mr. Short’s explanation as to its disappearance.
P.S.: PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST.

I saw those IDT energy scammers in my hood again. It’s because I heard a lady screaming that got my attention, telling these two guys to get the hell out of her building. I took some pictures as they left 66 Driggs today at 2pm. Watch out!

Lost Love. 🙁 Last seen at 11:22 AM Sunday July 5th on N 8th near Roebling Street.
You were my fireworks on the 4th of July and you changed the way I will hear church bells forever! If this finds you please find me since I am a total moron and didn’t give you my number or get yours and I would love to see you again.
How can I not shake the suspicion this is going to end with wedding bells…
or a restraining order?

New York Shitty Day Ender: A Tale Of Two Cities
As I have previously mentioned I spent today knocking around Little Neck and Douglaston with Kevin Walsh. One commenter, dc108, was concerned about Mr. Walsh’s welfare and wrote:
Did you really drag that poor man out while he’s recovering from heart surgery?
That “poor man” drug yours truly and the Mister for a three mile walk! I’m exhausted— but so much so to preclude sharing a slide show and a few thoughts.
1. Cherry Street, Greenpoint and Cherry Street, Douglaston are quite different.
2. In fact, Greenpoint and Douglaston are very different in a number of ways:
- Among other things Greenpoint has a lot less “green” in it than Douglaston. With greenery comes insects. I had the pleasure of being bitten by a number of them.
- But Douglaston, not being Greenpoint, I had the peace of mind to know my lesions were probably not bedbug induced.
- Douglaston smells good, Greenpoint nowadays not so much.
- Greenpoint has its fair share of dysfunctional pay phones. But when someone in Douglaston destroys a public pay phone he (or she) is thoughtful enough to put the receiver back on the hook.
But enough talk… on with the show!
All in all I found Douglaston to be a very nice place… but I wouldn’t want to live there. Sure it has trees, flowers aplenty, and a lovely waterfront but it is sorely lacking in other “amenities” like men perusing pornography in public parks and a nature walk which is located on the premises of the largest waste treatment plant on the eastern seaboard. It is appointments such as the previous that make living in the Garden Spot of the Universe so special.
