in Defense of my Contempt 

 This 2008 piece became the inspiration for The NY Horror series.  It has been re-printed and appears on Edward Torres' blog, NYC-MIND -- a site devoted to art, culture, and ideas by and about New Yorkers.

 For further reading, please read the short story What Happened to the Brother on the Block? (released as a spoken word recording under the title NY Horror Vol. 1)  -- a surrealist attempt to express the horror of corporate-friendly gentrification.
