Listen to the Devil on Your Shoulder in New York City

-621230178

Oh sinnnnnnnnn, the Devil is just so persuasive! And fun! Let's just say the Devil on my shoulder has a much stronger pull, a louder voice, a cunning way of making me feel very little remorse and a guaranteed "good time." Yes, the Devil does speak to me and in such a sweet tongue....let me share some of his/hers/it's words of "wisdom" with you all, THEN tell me who YOU'D listen to. The Devil is a dear friend of mine and comes in various forms i.e. cake, and magic shows.

The Devil likes to PARTY!!!!

The Devil will always tell you that mixing beer with liquor is totally fine.

The Devil will tell you to;

  • Dance on the bar
  • Buy everyone a round of shots
  • “Pre-game” translation: drink BEFORE going to the bar. Preferably vodka.
  • Steal someone’s boyfriend/girlfriend
  • Make out with a stranger
  • Request the DJ to play anything done by Madonna in the late 80’s.

Lewd behavior on Broadway

First it was Phantom of the Opera, the mask, the eerie music, the Gothic tone….THEN Rent came along and we were all singing the praises of people acting like crack ho’s, strippers and transvestites and STILL, Rent is my favorite show to hit Broadway.

Check out these plays (not for the easily offended, but the Devil doesn’t usually give a disclaimer)

Avenue Q

Forbidden Broadway: Rude Awakening

Spring Awakening

My First Time

Young Frankenstein

When to question the devil:

Ask for consultation form your Angel when the Devil says;

  • Cheat on your boyfriend/girlfriend/wife
  • Don’t pay rent!
  • White pants are a good idea
  • Anytime you contemplate a “name tattoo” the Devil has invaded your mind
  • “You should trip that guy walking by you.”
  • Spicy food ONLY for one. whole. week.

Dabble in MAGIC

When I was little all I wanted was a Ouija board, and my Mother REFUSED to buy me one. Instead she bought be some magic playing cards and told me to “learn some tricks.”

Magic is often said to be “works of the Devil”  I personally don’t see the problem with pulling a rabbit out of a hat. As long as we aren’t putting a hex on anyone (except for your jerk boss who fired you) I think dabbling with the Devil is fun…..

I'M ALL FOR FORTUNE TELLING:

Get a glimpse into the future, ask the himself for assistance, whatever. Fortune Tellers are the shiz.
