It's A Dogs World In Times Square
Another horrible wake up here in Times Square. It is getting impossible to live in this building and to function.
This morning, once again this tenant down the hall who has breakdowns and starts yelling at the walls, woke everyone up. This has been going on for over a year. No matter how I complain, these outbursts continue and it just ruins my day. This weekend has been a horror, this guy has been having several attacks a day and he has gotten louder and louder and it seems to never end.
I have tried to be understanding. I have ignored this guy for months now, trying to understand that he has problems and hoping that he will stop so I can get back to sleep. Having had a bad night as it was, with my main computer dieing, and Verizon Internet going in and out, I am just not a happy camper today. To top it off, my security guards here at the Times Square have the balls to order me back into my apartment. I told them where to go!
So another morning where I have to go down to the managers office and yell and scream. Another morning with no sleep and another morning with the managers twisting everything I have to say. We have social workers that are supposed to take care of this guy and they were not even in this morning. This has been going on for over a year now and I really have tried to be understanding and very patient, but how long I can take it all, remains to be seen.
I work very hard. I have to edit and go through hundreds of photos a day and to put so many stories together. I have to work on my reality show, which also has problems as the crew disappeared for several months, only to re-appear last week with some horrifying excuses as to why they were a-wall in the first place. They were somewhere in Japan, but that story I am still waiting for. I have meetings with socialites, movie stars and politicians and it is so hard when I do not get my sleep. It is not easy to live in Times Square, and I really want out of here.
The flu last week really killed me. I got my flu shots, but with all these tourists, I got some flu from some other country that the shots did not take care of. Me and my kid spent Easter in bed sick and almost dyeing. I still do not feel right.
So excuse me if you come up to me in Times Square or a nightclub and tell me how exciting it must be to live in Times Square, and I look at you like I want to kill you. It is not exciting to live here anymore. I can't move around the neighborhood, I am exposed to all these illnesses from all over the world and I live in a nut house. I am not a happy camper these days living here. They said on TV the other day that a million people come through here each and every day. I wish 999 thousand would just stay home.
HEADING BACK TO TV AND HATEFUL SEAN HANNITY
Dishonest Rupert MurdochI used to do so many television shows. For many reasons, I stopped a few years ago and I have decided to make a return. I have been profiled on everything from 60 Minutes to Fox News and my adventures have been written about everywhere. I was a regular on almost every network and after seeing the current state of guests on many of these shows, I decided it's time for me to return to tell it like it is.The state of a lot of these so-called news shows is plain dishonest. I used to love to watch Fox News and was a regular guest, and now I just have to turn the channel. I can not believe how this news channel has stacked the deck with such unbalanced reporting. Sean Hannity is the worst at this. He has been throwing out such crap and will never let his guests speak who have another opinion. He has such hatred for Barack Obama, I never saw anything like it. He never has anything honest to say.You would think Sean Hannity would have at least one good thing to say about Obama. Are you telling me in four years, that Obama has not done one good thing in Hannity's eyes? One little thing? He has slanted the news so bad and even turned on his political friends like Newt Gingrich, who used to be with the network. He looks like a cry baby all the time, whining about this and whining about that and it is a real shame. It is a dis-service to this country to attack a president like this.But what do you expect from Fox. The owner of News Corp Rupert Murdoch wants to own America. This is the guy who's companies bug peoples phones in England and has his staff hack e-mail accounts. And he will get away with it, he has money and power. If Rupert Murdoch hates our President so much and is so un-happy with America, he should pack up his bags in his Park Avenue apartment and leave. And he should take Sean Hannity with him!REPUBLICANS VOTE AGAIN FOR THE RICH AND ASSHOLE MITT ROMNEY
Un-American Mitt Romney
Once again the Republicans have voted for the rich. They voted down the Buffett rule that would have raised taxes on the rich.The Republicans keep preaching that the rich create jobs and to tax them more would stop them from hiring. This is such bull, and the Republicans have really lost their minds. I have not read one story on the rich creating more jobs to help the country. In fact the rich have gotten much richer in this bad economy. The middle class bailed them out and they gave us the finger. They continue to play their dishonest games with the stock market and are richer than ever. They do not create jobs, small businesses do. It is the small businesses that are trying to save America and all the rich want to do is profit from it, without lifting a finger.I am also so tired of my rich friends telling me that I do not understand. Well I do understand and I think most of America does. The rules are different for the rich. They make their money off the back of hard working Americans. If we had let these banks fail, these rich people would have lost their wealth. The average American saved them. These rich people could never do what the Middle Class has done and that is work. People that used to have high paying jobs are working in McDonalds to survive. If push came to shove, could Mitt Romney work there to support his family? I doubt it and he would be collecting unemployment, a entitlement program he is so against.Mitt Romney is hiding something too. He refuses to release his tax returns. He has Swiss bank accounts and who knows what else. He is just another dishonest politician who will never win this election. He must be high on something if he thinks America is this stupid!
