One day there was a rabbit. It ate carrots. Therefore, it had good eyesight. This is the story of that rabbit's rise to stardom.

So, you've probably heard about the bomb scare in Times Square, right? It was Saturday. I was actually downtown on Saturday. I was just walking around, enjoying the weather. Went from Penn Station to the Staten Island Ferry. Quite a walk, for you non-New Yorkers. Anyway, I wasn't actually in Times Square at all on Saturday, so I had no idea anything was going on until I read the news Sunday morning. Still, it's a little unnerving. I've always known in the back of my mind that there's a potential for a terrorist attack, but it's not really something I think about. It's pointless to worry about something that might maybe potentially happen. I love this city. I love the subway. I love the crowds and the bustle and the energy. And I'm not about to stop loving any of those things less just because there's a risk involved with living here. The chance of something catastrophic happening is incredibly slim. I certainly hope we can avoid another tragic event, but, if one does happen, and if I happen to die as a result of that, that'd be fine. Because at least I had the opportunity to live here, in the best place I've ever lived. So, to all the people trying to scare us: fuck you. It's not going to work. It's not worth it go through life afraid, regardless of where you live.
