Reasons Why Brooklyn Is the Worst Place Ever: a Preemptive Attack

- Look at all the dreamers!
There Are Broken Dreams Everywhere You Look
If I have to hear one more person tell me that they are a “freelance writer” my heart will break in a million pieces. In Los Angeles, everyone might be an aspiring actor, but in Brooklyn they’re all aspiring writers. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I was once an aspiring writer too. Keep trying, aspiring writers! One day, you too can write about cocktails with severed toes in them and make list after list of things that people may or may not want to read about but will certainly comment on, if only to tell you you’re an asshole. But, you know, live your dream! Be your best self! Anyway. Yeah. You can pretty much smell the desperation in the air here in Brooklyn. I don’t think I’d bottle it.
