About Me

Here are a few things to think about...........Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything......To change the world you have to lead by example, be the changes you want to see......The weak can never forgive, forgiveness is the attribute of the strong......If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?......How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?......Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?......Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?......Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?......Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?......Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

LONG ISLAND


You live in the shadow of the greatest city in the world, but you almost never go there.When you're away from Long Island, you love it and when you're there, you don't.You think if you're not from Long Island or NYC, you're not really from New York.You know the exact point at which Queens turns into Nassau simply on intuition.You don't go to Manhattan, you go to "The City".You never realize you have an accent till you leave.Everything north of the Bronx is "upstate." New Jersey sucks.At some point in your life you've gone clamming.Either your parents or your grandparents lived in the city.You'd pay $11.50 for a movie.You don't live in Long Island. You live ON Long Island.You know where the Commack Motor Inn is.Your distant future might involve the state of Florida.You can correctly pronounce places like Ronkonkoma, Hauppauge, Wantagh, Mineola, Islandia, Massapequa.You know the location of 6 malls and a dozen McDonalds and 36 7-11's.You never, ever want to "change at Jamaica..."You've tried to find the Amityville Horror house.You can't understand why a diner would ever close.You've had a seagull crap on your car.You have or someone you know has fallen asleep on the LIRR and ended up in one of these three places; Babylon, Port Washington or Hicksville.You went to an elementary school that promoted dodge ball as the number 1 game among children 7-13.You want the Yankees to stay in the Bronx, but would probably go to more games if they moved to Manhattan.You think that somehow, the Jets and giants still play in New York.You've missed that "Drunk Train", the 2:42 out of Penn and had the dreaded wait until 5:30.The Long Island Expressway isn't really as bad as everybody thinks.You know which parts of "The Godfather" were filmed on Long Island.You've paid a $10 cover charge to get into a bar, but got nothing for it.You miss wiffle ball and running through sprinklers.Billy Joel said it best, "either you date a rich girl from The North Shore, or a cool girl from the South Shore".You don't really see the big deal about the Hamptons, unless you got smashed at the Bordy Barn.When people ask "where are you from?" you answer Long Guy Land and automatically assume everyone in the world knows that answer means New York .You've always liked Billy Joel and you own several of his "records."The Belt Parkway sucks! You've been stuck in a traffic jam for more than 2 hours (without moving).Your parents took you to All American, Nathan's or Carvel (on the way home from the beach).Regular gas - $3.29 and you still pay it!!!You hate paying tolls.You don't have to go far to see your family.You remember Grumman.You've gotten drunk on the bleachers of some high school.You know the color of the water at Jones Beach is not BLUE!You were upset when all the Roy Rogers turned into Wendy's and Arby's closed for good.You can spout off all the LIRR stops between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma.Paying $35 for a haircut doesn't sound so crazy.You think the people from Brooklyn are "da wunz dat tawk wit a accent."You went sledding in the sumps. You've partied on a golf course in the middle of the night.You knew of Massapequa before the Amy Fisher-Joey Buttafuoco nightmare.You think going to Queens was a hike. The first time you heard the term "Long Island Iced Tea" you were somewhere else and you laughed.When you live somewhere else and are astounded to see that people actually stop at yellow lights.When you just sort of presume that wherever you live, you'll be able to find good delis, good pizza, and good bagels.Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
