The Glamour of Living in New York

Right now, on the opposite side of my block, media and mourners stand outside the wake for Israel "Izz" Rameriez, the part-time bodyguard who was shot and killed under the employ of Busta Rhymes at one of the rapper's video shoots (link to story). I passed the funeral parlor and Rameriez' house on the way home from errands. Without a doubt, this is the biggest, most exciting thing to happen 'round 106th street since this.

Oh, and I heard some children's show host from the50's took a header off the top of my building.

I feel like a superstar just walking outside!
