Just got back from a little weekend jaunt in New York City. I love going to New York. Unbelievable city. No place else like it. Always have an amazing time there.
That being said, there is no other city on this planet that sucks its own dick quite as much as New York. It is impossible to have a conversation with a New Yorker any longer than four minutes without them telling you how much they love New York. I lost count of how many people tried to convince me to move to New York over the last few days.
Oh, and it's always accompanied by telling me how terrible Los Angeles is. Can't get enough of that. If New Yorkers were writing the history books (or geography books, or whatever), LA would be the toxic post-apocalyptic wasteland we're all familiar with from the fine film Demolition Man.
Hey, I get it. New York is great. Everyone is so cultured and modest. Occasionally you have nice weather and subsequently freak out with a spree of self-congratulation on what a fantastic city you've all chosen to live in. Pity the poor billions and billions of humans who live anywhere else, especially us vapid Angelenos. Carrie Bradshaw and Donald Trump and Derek Jeter and 9/11 and pizza and yay yay yay for us!!!
Also, you really don't have to play that Jay-Z/Alicia Keyes New York song EVERY FUCKING PLACE I GO. I mean really, what other city has its own theme song?! Point made, New York City. You're the best. I'm gonna go lay on the beach now and try to withstand another horrible Los Angeles 75 degree day.
