About Me

Its hard to be wildly successful, outrageously sexy, mindblowingly brilliant, outrageously funny and still maintain a sense of modesty... but I think I do a good job.
I work in a bar. Actually, I live for that goddamn bar. I just wish it would start living for me. Stop by sometime, New Yorkers... I'm there always on Saturdays.. and pretty much every other night as well.
COPPER DOOR TAVERN, 272 Third Avenue btwn 21st and 22nd.
"Did you polar bears also cover their nose while hunting because they know it gives them away? They're cute and smart which makes them very dangerous That's the same thing I tell people about you...cute,smart, dangerous." - Doug
"You're the closest thing I have to a male roommate." - Nick
"Me: He misses me when I'm gone.
Nick: Yeah, he sleeps with a pair of your underwear at night.
Larry: (completely seriously) No, i'm the only one that does that.
Nick and I: Very confused looks."
