i live in the american gardens building on west 81st street, on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman, i'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself in balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy i'll put on a ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After i remove the ice pack i use a deep pore cleanser lotion, in the shower i used a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey-almond body scrub and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then i apply a herb mint facial masquet which i leave on for ten minuts while i prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with a little or no alcohol because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older, then moisturizer,then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing "protective" lotion. There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abtraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and thought i can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense pour lifestyle are probably comparable: I simply am not there.
