I am a portly fellow who enjoys the lady lumps. I'm goofy and stupid and very rarely serious about anything. I'll always try and find the joke in every situation. I have low self esteem but due to my non-serious ways it's not a big deal. More often than not I'll shy away from looking you in the eyes because that would be risky because I might actually make a valid connection with you personally. I easily fall in love and trust way too easily.

I'm a Party Promoter and Event Planner from NYC. I primarily promote parties and events in Manhattan. I've been doing this since 1996. I'm a very laid back, easy-going guy who likes to laugh, chill with friends and catch a good movie in my free time. These days, I'm really into any late '80s and early '90s Hip-Hop and R&B. I must be getting old.

I'm a 27 year old slacker who is an embarrassment to his family. Oh well, most of them are dead anyway. My life is pretty boring, but it's a lot better than it has been in the past. I enjoy TV, history, sports, porn, fucking with people, and talking about bowel movements.

Music and sports rule my life. My two faves are Van Halen and the Washington Redskins. I collect sports cards, my prized possession being the 2001 Topps Debut Michael Vick rookie card which is autographed ..325 out of only 499 made. Also have many other valuable cards. As far as music, I like just about anything, from Poison to Madonna, Dr. Dre to Prince, Lynyrd Skynyrd to Pearl Jam, 50 Cent to Michael Jackson, Duran Duran to The Cure, etc. etc.
