Heroes

There are no heroes, there are no villains. Life is not a comic book, and everybody is not 5 years old, so they dont need to be told who their heroes are.

Heroes and villains exist in a comic book world. In reality, there are only people.

Gypsy

Carrying a suitcase around and calling yourself a gypsy doesn't make you a gypsy any more than wearing a fin on top of your head makes you a shark. It really just makes you a pretentious poser.

The girl thought that she was a gypsy and this and that, and that she was disarming people she never met and couldn't see, but in reality she was a dork that wanted to go around like she owned the place, and make herself look and sound scarier than she actually was in the process.

Soft hours

Any time of a day a soft, spiritual person looks for a soft spot in others. It could be the middle of the night, it could be morning, it could be an afternoon in bad weather, or a sunny day in the snow.

The guy/girl was looking for a soft spot in others during the soft hours while wearing a playful mask, a facade of lightheartedness.

Food giveaway

Though it's called a food giveaway on the news, they had to take money from somebody (through donations or somewhere else) before they gave anything back to somebody else.

There is no such thing as a food giveaway. The money to get the food they give away came from somebody somewhere, it wasn't coming from the people that are on TV taking credit for giving food away.

Extreme ass whooping

Something you didn't get as a kid, it's not like a slap.

Kips bay

Neighborhood just below Murray Hill in the lower 30s on the east side of Manhattan. Murray Hill is well known as a reference, Kips Bay was home to Irish Catholic families and businesses in the 50s and 60s and earlier, being gentrified into newer high rise condo buildings through the 70s to today. Below 30 th street on the East side in the 20s was mostly Italians, above 30th was Irish. There was once an el train running down 2nd avenue through the neighborhood.

People in Kips Bay would fall asleep to the sound of an el train each night.

Office

For the most part, theres two kinds of people that get elected. Theres the kind that would allow people to shame or disrespect them out of an office and resign (no matter the reason given), and theres the kind you'd have to kill (the worst kind). If you're the first kind of person by nature, Trump wants you to vote, since you think you can change things. Back in the Middle ages, if the king wasnt dead, he was still the king, there were no elections. Besides the facade of free elections and newer technology, has anything really changed?

What would you do if you had an office? Would you let a bunch of people you didnt know, didnt know you, and who you didnt give a fuck about take it from you? Or, would you guard it with every weapon available to you? Especially if you knew you were for the most part able to disappear and reappear when and where you wanted to.
