It is an island that is part of New York. It is south of Connecticut but east of New Jersey. It has two distinct counties. These counties are Nassau and Suffolk. Queens and Brooklyn are seperate and are therefore part of the city.
Note : Long Island is full of segregated areas.
As a kid from Suffolk county, I actually feel different from someone in Nassau.
Kid from Brooklyn: Yo mothafucka, What Up ?
Kid from Long Island: What are you talking about ?

The frontman of Weezer. Born on June 13, 1970. He is devoted to Vipassana Meditation and is said to meditate twice a day. Many people have stated the many positive changes that have occurred in Rivers ever since he started this method. Due to meditation, Rivers declared that he would remain celibate for 2 years. He stayed true to his word and even went over the 2 years deadline. Rivers stated that he wanted to break his celibacy on his wedding night...June 18th, 2006 (which was yesterday). He is also a Harvard graduate. He received his Bachelor of Arts in English and American Literature after attending school on and off for 11 years on June 8th 2006. He does often give off that snobby/sarcastic vibe but he has sold over 7 million albums, is filthy rich, and is a Harvard graduate. Anyone with a list of accomplishments like that would have a bit of an ego don't u think? I think the main reason why he's so appealing to me is because he doesn't fit the image of a stereotypical rocker.
He's pretty shy/quiet, has a small stature and is known for his Buddy Holly glasses (although I haven't seen him wearing them lately).
He also finds Asian women attractive. His wife is Japanese.
I think he went through a pretty tough time during the Pinkerton era but I can tell he changed a lot from then. He seems more mature/wise/a lot happier now. There's this look of peace on his face whenever I see him.
I think Rivers is very charismatic (although he doesn't think so).
Rivers Cuomo = genius.

It is a county on Long Island in Southeastern,NY.
It is economically and geographically diverse. Ethnically, it is predominantly White but strictly segregated. There are plenty of segregated areas.
There are at least five areas which have a significant minority areas. These areas are also home to mainly working-class or poor people.These areas are Brentwood, Central Islip, Huntington Station, Wyandanch and North Bay Shore. Any White person who lives in these areas is deemed "inferior".
There are like more than twenty towns which are home to mainly middle-class to upper-middle class Whites. To name a few, there are Dix Hills, Brightwaters, Melville, North Huntington, Bay Shore, East Islip, West Islip and Oakdale.
Culturally, there is a difference between the lifestyles of those who live in Western Suffolk than in Eastern Suffolk. Western Suffolk is pre-dominantly suburban while Eastern Suffolk is more rural or agrigcultural. Both Western and Eastern sections have some form of a fishing industry. There also is an extensive tourist industry.

Affte is an abbreviation for affection or affectionate. Often used during the 1700 and 1800's, and is generally used at the end of a letter.
Also note afftely (affectionately), which was a word seen in Lewis Caroll's letters extremely often.
-Your affte brother.
