STIFFER FINES FOR DOODIE, MAKES
WADE HAPPY!
Adam Wade
What great news!
According to MYFOXNY.COM -- Officials in Hoboken have
raised fines for pet owners who don't clean up after their dogs.
It’s about time. Now let’s start right off with
the fact that I love animals, I grew up with dogs, cats and goldfish in my family. Each
one meant a lot to me. I also have many friends here in Hoboken with dogs. Beautiful dogs.
But it’s a simple fact that many many people in Hoboken
don’t curb their dogs.
And I have been PERSONALLY affected by it
[This video is of me telling a story about the girl of my
dreams and how she broke my heart when she… didn’t clean up her dog’s
doodie. ]
And I’ve been FINANCIALLY affected by it as well. After
stepping in dog doodie for the 4th time in a year and ruining a brand new pair of $120 New
Balance sneakers, I made this public service announcement.
[Maybe city officials watched this video and realized it was
time to either say "Doggie go bye bye," or "Clean it up, Hoboken. Clean it
up!" ]
HAPPY, BUT WHAT’S NEXT FOR WADE… NYSC UPTOWN:
So
do I feel great about stiffer doodie fines? Well, if it means less uncurbed doodie, I FEEL
GREAT! Chalk one up for Wade.
But what’s next on the agenda? For me it’s getting
NYSC (I heard the SC stands for ‘sports club’) uptown to
actually have ‘sports channels’ on their TVs. I mean seriously, they don’t
have YES, they don’t have SNY, they haven’t had ESPN in over two weeks (note:
supposedly they’re fixing it. Well come on NYSC, figuring out how to split an atom
takes less time), they don’t have ESPN 2, they don’t have ESPN News. BUT THE
GOOD NEWS IS THEY HAVE 2 CHANNELS OF CSPAN!!!! Watching those senate meetings
really helps me to go ‘the distance’ on the treadmill. Whoa! In all honesty,
when have you EVER seen someone working out while watching CSPAN (and if you have, how
terrified were you of the person doing so?).
I can’t describe the feeling getting to NYSC around 8pm
to work out on a weeknight when both the Mets and Yankees are playing and I’m stuck
watching Paris Hilton’s True Hollywood Story on E! for the 10th time (all
viewings of this show have been at NYSC because I can’t watch an actual sporting
event).
What great news!
