My housemates were filthy. When I went into the bathroom, I was
afraid to step on the floor. The ceiling tiles were falling down. The
wall tiles were falling out. It's gross in there!
The kitchen was gross too. No one ever washed the dishes. I never used the kitchen. I had a little refrigerator in my room.
Last year, my landlord told me I had two days to get out.
Luckily, a lady took me in, and the rent was reasonable. I'm so thankful
for that.
I was two inches away from sleeping in the gutter. I was scared to death. I'm sixty-years-old. I don't need this crap.
I knew a woman who lived with her three kids in a jungle gym in a park. Is this America?
I used to live on South Street. That was nice, but it's gotten
way too expensive. I lived next to the sneaker store. One day, I came
home late and saw maybe 20 black guys trying to break into the sneaker
store. They were really chimping out, you know. They were just black
people acting like black people. It was like the Philadelphia Zoo! They
were niggers, basically.
Sorry to be using the N word, and my best friend is black too,
but these guys were niggers. I didn't want to open my door and have them
f*ck me up the ass, so I called 911.
I used to hang out at the Westbury, and the bartender would come
out and say, "Don't stand there!" It's because people would jump from
the Parker Hotel. When I was 21, a guy landed on my boyfriend's car. "Oh
my God, there's a dead guy on my car!"
When I was 57, I had a buddy who was 24. We did a lot of drugs
together, but that's all. He did more drugs than I did. He was writing a
book, At Twenty-Four. I said, "If you keep this sh*t up, you won't see
25," and I was right.
When my dad died, I inherited an old car, but I didn't need it,
so I just parked it on the street. I didn't even keep it locked because I
didn't want anybody to break into it. I knew people slept in it,
though, because I found condoms.
You're lucky to have somebody to go home to. I always had a
lover, a boyfriend, but I haven't had anybody in eleven years. And it's
not the, you know, but the support. I can't just go home and say to
somebody, "b*tch, I love you!"
Have you seen The Purge? In this movie, you have twelve hours
once a year to do whatever the f*ck you want. You can kill or rape
anybody you want!
I think people have underestimated Trump. I'm not sure, but I
really think something good will come of this. I think he's going to use
his global power to do some good. He might be good for this country. He
can't be any worse than what we've got right now. Personally, I'm
bothered that I don't have dental care. I'm being screwed over by
Obamacare, and I don't have any say in the matter. I work hard for a
living. I'm doing the best I can to make ends meet. Yeah, I'm pissed
off, but who am I going to call? Republican buster? Democrat buster?
Nobody cares.
