And only NYC is fast enough for you.
Maybe you'll set yourself up with a killer career
Or simply take in all the city has to offer. What City Do You Belong In?

Your flirting style: Laid back

What Color Heart Do You Have?
I've been attempting to weed all the bullshit and drama out of my life, I'm too old for it and just don't have the time anymore. I'm a loyal friend and I'll tell you like it is. Lived on my own since I was 17 and been in the service/bar biz even longer. I probably have slung you a drink in Chicago at The House of Blues, Metro, or Matchbox/Silver Palm. I've been busting my ass to finish film school and the fruits of my labor are upon me. Moved to LALA Land and trying to do my thing. NO, I don't want to be rich and famous, just want to do my art, meet other people like minded and need a change of scenery. That's where the work is and I can't afford New York right now. Gonna give it 3 years and take it from there.
We work in the dark
we do what we can
we give what we have.
Our doubt is our passion
and our passion is our task.
The rest is the madness of art...

Disequilibrium furthers my quest that's just out of reach. I possess no clue what it may be, but change is eminent and my restlessness begs its materialization.
