mon03.05.079:39AM: ugghh.
sometimes i really miss "emoticons" even though usually they irritate the shit out of me. but no joke if i had a :rolleyes face dot gif: right now i'd put it right here and it would totally say it all and save me a whole fucking mess of energy.

yah so.
for about a week now i have been trying to muster up even the tiniest itty bitty iota of enthusiasm to comment on my dinner at Morandi last wednesday night (feb28th). because i guess it's like expected of me or some shit. but i've been having a really really hard time with it. mostly because
already i am so fucking sick of Morandi it's not even amusing. y'know this is exactly how i used to feel about j.Lo right around record release time. that bitch could have pipes like an angel and shake her big fat ass til the cows come home. still somehow she always just managed to make me feel like i wanted to punch her right in her stupid fucking face.

i'm sick of Morandi up to my eyeballs. but if you really want my two cents here it is:
it blows.

okay look don't get me wrong now, for a minute there i considered disclosing more, hells i think at one point i even wanted to. but then i realized: what for-- most likely everything i say will be dismissed anyways [since we alls know Gusto's sasha-muniak is a close friend of mine, and i already looooves me some daSilvano].
so PLEASE by all means go and try that shit for yourself and make up your own goddamned mind. and if you actually like it, then come on back here and hopefully by that time, the PX "Forum" will be up and running (coming very soon i promise!) and then you can say whatever the hells you please about your retarded dining experience that you loved so much. eeheee trust me i'm just begging for the opportunity to make you look like the clueless moron you so obviously are.

and so is the rest of the "industry" too, i think. ah ha ha ha ha aha haa if the "industry" has the BALLS to come here and comment for themselves one HALF the shit i've been hearing about Morandi all over fucking downtown new york city (don't take my word for it, go ahead ask around) heads will ROLL up in that mutherfukker that's all i'm sayin.

no seriously that's ALL I'M SAYIN i am sick of talking about this shit (i want YOU to talk about it from now on. yay!) i'm sick of the hype i'm sick of the bullshit
and most of all i'm sick of this Gansevoort billboard nonsense.
come on now give me a fucking break. like the meatpacking district was so beeyoootiful before the stupid billboard went up. yeeaah. how bout yalls try getting rid of your ugly PATRONS before you start attacking the poor innocent inanimate objects you fucking douchebags.

as if theWaverly was "taking reservations" from the concierge at theGansevoort before.
as if Morandi will start "taking reservations" from the concierge at theGansevoort if the billboard comes down.
hahhahahahahhahaaa.

attention whore TOOLS.

ohmygawd i am so cranky about new york "nightlife" bullshit right now i'm taking my ass to JERSEY CITY tonight i am not even kidding.
