Slog - Comments on A Picture Is Worth a 1000 Words http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/a_picture_is_worth_a_1000_words But not this one. This one probably isn't worth five or ten, but... it's one of my favorite sights and this is the best my iPhone could do. Approaching Manhattan from JFK. That's the Empire State Building there in the middle. Still get a chill when I look to the left before dipping down into the tunnel. Has it really been seven years?...

You suck Dan. I feel for DJ and Terry, who you just leave at home while you traipse off to be important.

That is unless Terry just unloads him on relatives and friends so he can go out, and get out royally fucked at Club Z.

You make me sick. Go sell another lame book, dickhead.

I went a little over the line with that last comment. Had a bit of a rough day...and I guess I decided to take it out on Dan Savage via a web blog. Man, given some time I realize how petty that is, and I really just need to find satisfaction in my own life rather than criticizing others.

Again, really sorry, have a great night everybody. And I hope Dan really likes NYC!!

I don't know what has come over me - perhaps I am getting in touch with my humanity.
