Shitty Things About New York

1. Heat + Humidity = Heat rash
2. Walking around all day in Converse All Stars, thus incurring the wrath of the arch support gods.
3. Travelling across the country to protest with thousands of other people only to read the newspaper and realize that Bush is still probably going to win.
4. The cops vs. protestors situation, which is shitty enough by itself, is even lamer because the cops don't have a contract with the city, so they're essentially protecting people who don't support their union at all.
5. My boy getting food poisoning on the last day. How did he get it when we ate all the exact same things?
6. Sleeping on hardwood floors hurts (but it's better than being on the street).
7. When the worker advocacy speaker asked on the last protest day how many of us were workers, about 3 people out of 10,000 raised their hands.
8. My friend getting arrested and the charges not being dropped. More on this in the future.

Most of these things aren't really about New York. New York is great.
