Pittsburgh Love Letter

No bottle service can compare to those boxes shamelessly brought to Chicken Latino and shared amongst equally shameless friends.

No drag queen can compare to the drunk and hairy bellied trannies with crooked wigs at the Blue Moon who are always trying to get you to buy them a drink

No night at Pacha will come close to the any night daggering next to half naked sweaty men on the slippery floors of “the tilden”

Crocodile Lounge is really great, but for their one pizza per drink deal you could feed an entire bar of angsty punks and burnouts at the Rock Room

No Michelin star restaurant can give you the feeling of a 3am breakfast sandwich at Ritter’s surrounded by all the other hungry drunk idiots of Pittsburgh

The Moma might have a van gogh or two, but it'll never have the glamour of the stuffed turtle-ducks and embalmed genitals at Trundle Manor

The subway is a magical place but no comparison to the Pittsburgh buses that are habitually late and where you’re bound to sit next to an obese man with a strange twitch and stranger funk (but you best believe he’ll say thank you to that bus driver before he exits)

I miss Pittsburgh.
New York is no Pittsburgh.

Spooky Saga

I was in a bizzare pseudo-relationship with a man who goes by Spooky. No, that isn't some kind of strange nickname I gave him that represents his dong or personality quirk. Spooky is the name he introduced himself as six years ago and what I continue to call him.


There can be a lot said about the five years we spent together, but I thought I'd sum it up with memorable quotes:

Hold this gun.

Will you come over later and undo my hair.

You gon be my bitch, my ho, or my girlfriend. You decide.

Miss, how's life treating you.

Good girl.

It's not alright for a dad to go to jail for longer than three years.



From phone calls to the police, to broken windows, to steak in weed butter, to exhaustive screaming matches, it doesn't take a genius to figure out ours was a destructive and abusive relationship. I know now everything I never want to have in a relationship, but I don't regret for a moment the sloppy nights out, or the clumsy videogaming, or the seriousness weirdness that was my five years with Spooky.
