Talking about falling right in your lap

I know the first dude in the wheelchair. In the 80's and 90's he played football in Bushwick and he was a dealer. That pic is in Ridgewood, Queens. He's a cool dude.

You from bushwick?

"She always keeps her head when bad things happen. I’ve had a health scare recently, and she could easily have gone to pieces, but she’s stayed strong for me."
"What’s the toughest thing you’ve ever gotten through together?"
"Our daughter was murdered eight years ago, and we’re still fighting it every single day."

"They’re for my friends."

"So what’s the secret to long term love?"
"I don’t know."

"I always loved doing musicals in school, so when I came back from Iraq, I decided I was going to be an actor. I’ve been in all sorts of TV shows over the last ten years. You know, the kind of roles where people say: ‘Hey! Weren’t you ‘that guy’ in ‘that show?’ I work as a police officer to pay the bills. All the other officers call me Officer Hollywood."

"The Lord told me to sew!"

"It can be difficult dating a man who loves attention."

"Had cancer six times. Beat cancer six times."

"I had a little situation in college, so I think I’m going to enter the Air Force Reserves."
"What sort of situation?"
"According to them, I didn’t pass my classes."

"My mom died when I was sixteen from cirrhosis of the liver. She had a really bad drinking problem, but I don’t blame her, because she had an addiction problem and was dealing with the pressure of being a single mother— my dad left the family when I was two. But my mom overcompensated for the guilt of drinking by spoiling me. And because she always gave me what I wanted, I’m finding it difficult to develop drive late in life."
"Wow, you’re introspective."
"Yeah, therapy is going well."

"My wife left me and went to Georgia."
"Why’d she leave you?"
"We’d just grown apart. I’d recommend getting married as late as you can. We got married because we had a baby. Then we both changed a lot, because both of us still had a lot of growing left to do. You should give yourself plenty of time to grow before getting married."

"I never made it as a screenwriter. I tried to do what I loved and I failed. But the important thing is, I’ve found reasons to like every job I’ve done since then. I had a friend who committed suicide recently. He opened up his wrists in a bathtub. You know what he said to me once? He said: ‘I’m jealous of you because you can find a reason to enjoy anything you choose to do.’"

Today in microfashion…

"Back in Guyana, my father captained a ship with forty men. Here, he drives a bus for the MTA. It’s been a tough adjustment, but he did it for his family."
"How many siblings do you have?"
"A lot. My dad was captain of the ship."

"I’m trying to stay calm while watching all my friends get accepted to Ivy League schools."

You from bushwick?

Spent some years there. You?

Spent some years there. You?

Nah I'm not from Brooklyn but I spend more time there than any place else.

"You want to hear what just happened to me? I was in the subway station, and this man came walking by me. He seemed really angry and was talking gibberish and screaming about how he was going to kill anyone who talked to him. So I thought: ‘That guy’s crazy, I’m gonna keep away from him.’ Then two minutes later, another young man walked by and collapsed right in front of me, and started having a seizure. I bent down to help him, and you know what happened? The crazy guy bent down and said: ‘He’s having a seizure! Turn him on his side!’
I thought: ‘Wait a second! Weren’t you just crazy?’”

"She cheated on me."
"Did you know the guy?"
"I introduced them. I invested in the guy’s business. He lost my life savings, then he took my wife."

"Put this on Instagram."

“I said you could take my picture. Now you’re asking me questions and this is turning into a big deal.”

“May I take your photo? You look beautiful.”
“OK, just make sure you can see the bag.”
“Oh, I didn’t realize you were advertising something.”
“Isn’t everything beautiful advertising something?”
