About Me

MyGen Profile Generator so after 10 years in new york city(8 of them in the bar biz--40 hours working, 20 hours gettin high, 20 hours recovering, and the rest divided between sleeping alone and sleeping with others--marriage, divorce, somewhere around 10 different flats and nothing but constant overdraft notices to show for it)....ive decided its time for a change.....so six hours on the plane a two hour nap in geneva, and now i call barcelona home(as i have since april).... lifes a bit quieter here, but im quite enjoying the 25 hour work week, more holidays than you can shake a stick at and a cost of living that doesnt require monthly prostitution(so thats where the term rentboy actually came from...) have made for a much lass stressful existence....come visit and see what i mean... i spend too much time on: www.wikipedia.com and www.totse.comand besides, if you had the choice between working a shit pay job in buffalo(no offense if youre from buffalo--love the wings and the bills) and a shit pay job in spitting distance of the mediterranean(thats no exaggeration, i tried it once), which would you choose?
