About Me

Love: Dim-sum in Chinatown, talking to people one-on-one, seeing old friends, rubbing my feet together while I watch tv, finding out what makes people tick |Hate: When I am stuck behind people who walk slow, when the trains pot, humidity |I am the last of the famous international playboys--no, really.After living in this city for six years, I finally made my way up to the roof of the Met--why the hell did I wait so long?I'm a cold-hearted snake, look into my eyes--uh oh, he's been tellin'...Wait, that's a song...I'm warm, compassionate, I value every day experiences every bit as much as the experience of a lifetime.If you appreciate the not so norm, try to make life as interesting as possible by eliminating the mundane or turning it on its head through whatever means possible, chances are, you and I will get along.
