About Me

I've always been about food, beverage and music- in no particular order but always at peace. I'm patient, respectful, open-minded, relaxed, festive, logical and pragmatic. I'm difficult to whelm and nearly impossible to overwhelm. I get along just fine with the guy next door but I'm really not the guy next door. I love the autumn; I suffer through summer looking forward to November. On vacation you're more likely to find me in a big, noisy city than on any island. I'm not much for the beach- but I like it at night. My favorite places that I've been are Montreal, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Panama- but I still have a long list of places to go. I often dream that I'm flying; not high above the skyscrapers and clouds like Superman but low enough to tap you on the shoulder as I pass by; more like say, Peter Pan. Seriously. I'm sarcastic more often than not but always a gentleman. I'm not pretentious, or materialistic and would rather not spend more time than I have to around those who are. I'm a great soul. I love live music and I've seen most of the acts I wanted who are/were still alive and still going... For but a very few exceptions, I've grown tired of big venue shows, If I can't drink and dance, I usually don't want to go. I do karaoke, I'm not a fanatic but I love to croon once in a while. Presently, I earn my living as a mixologist; a bartender. You can find me shaking and pouring at the Phillips Old Colony House on Morrissey Blvd. in Dorchester. Stop by; it's a great place and I make a wicked cocktail! I'm also a licensed and certified massage therapist. My practice is in Malden Center. I'm still working on what I'm gonna be if I grow up. Oh and another thing: bimbettes, I'm at not interested in your new webcam, mmmnkay?.I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

This is all I was trying to say-

 I'm Italian, I've seen this scene a million times and I laugh out loud every time (I don't mean "lol", I mean OUT LOUD). The thing is that the humans for the most part can be pretty ignorant and...
