MyHeritage.com : Family trees - Genealogy - Celebrities
I try to live in the moment, and not get too caught up in what may happen tomorrow. Things change, people change, the world changes... so why not live for today?!?! I am passionate about everything i do...or I don't do it to begin with. I like to serve my mankind by offering a refuge from their routine lives; providing an escape by welcoming them to my bar, which is not only my job, but the core of my existence. I am a people pleaser to the extreme, who gets enjoyment out of pleasing others, without expecting anything in return.What am I looking for on here? I dunno, depends on who, what, when, where, & why.Links I like: Cocktale Confessions, Thousand Bars, NYC Bartenders and Patrons, No Holds Barred, Paul Katcher's Blog & The Perfect Manhattan

The inspiration for this blog may reveal itself sometime in the future. For now, I will just present some views, opinions and thoughts and speculate on their validity. I am quite sure, given a DNA tes...

Thanksgiving for Orphans: I Almost Died Laughing

Frannie Fretnot: my internet groupie?

So, I never, never, hardly ever leave Manhattan. On top of that, I rarely even take the iron limo anywhere, ever. I know how to walk, hail a cab, and maybe occasionally I'll take the bus, if I have ti...
