HEY, MAYBE I'M
POOR...
I'm going to be forty-seven
years old this Friday.
Maybe that's not old, but it's old enough to take
into account what you've done with your life and
where you want to go the rest of it.
But when I read in one of the local papers the other
day about "affordable middle class housing"
coming to Long Island City, Queens, I was taken
aback.
At $1200-$2500 a month, the rental apartments would
be for middle class residents earning $60,000-$150,000
a year.
Hell, as a part-time teacher, writer, talent agent,
and jack of all offbeat trades, I've never once
broken 60K a year.
And I don't clear $2500 a month, let alone have
it for rent.
Now, I never thought of myself as a failure. Because
if you measure my life in f-u-n, I'm pretty darn
rich. And being involved in Adult Education, the
arts in general, and even the insane sport of pro
wrestling, I can say that each and every day is
different and creative.
But it just never hit me that I was a flop in the
dollars department.
So what exactly am I? Lower middle-class? Or maybe
even on some statistical leve l- gasp- poor?
Now oddly enough, I've never once felt poor. Am
I as poor as my buddies with the far bigger incomes,
nice suburban houses, and horrible marriages?
Or am I as poor as the friends who shlep themselves
to work every day, dreading what awaits them at
their 9 to 5?
Or am I even as poor as the Wall Street broker with
the average salary of $290,000 a year? A retired
stock broker in my building told me that he's seen
several guys drop dead right there on the floor
of the market. Meanwhile, colleagues continued their
frantic bidding as they cart the body out.
Lovely.
So I may not be middle-class or destined for that
nice LIC apartment on the river overlooking Manhattan.
But I chose this path and it's been quite a ride.
And when the smoke clears, I'll still somehow pay
my bills, and have a damn good time earning the
money to do it.
So enjoy that new apartment, my middle class friends.
Just make sure the price you pay isn't your health,
happiness, and peace of mind.

Angelo Rivera caught this shot of Attorney General
candidate Jeanine Pirro campaigning in his Bronx
neighborhood. Well, you have to give the gal props
for making that Mom-just-got-a-job suit look good.
And even though I voted for her opponent, I do believe
this is one woman who really does believe in law
and order. After all, she never shot that good-for-nothing
husband of hers even though most folks would have
given her a get-out-of-jail-free card.
