Simply put, I ....wait, first of all, *anyone* who knows me knows that there is absolutely *nothing* simple about me, and thus attempting to describe myself in any sort of simple terms or in some facile manner would simply be doing me (and thus, you, who are reading this profile) a complete disservice. Therefore, I advise you to simply contact me. It will be best for both of us, in the long run.

Hi Everyone! My name is Chris, but you can call me Black People. I work at an Italian Grill called Carino's and I've got some great friends.

I've done pretty much anything you would think that a soon-to-be 21 year old man could do.

I am a very laid back kind of guy. I am outgoing, in most cases. I am a people person, and i can get along with "almost" anyone. I am up for about anything. Two things i do not do are 1) smoke 2) drink (besides an occasional glass of wine). I don't know what else to say. It is hard for me to describe myself. You should just meet me so you can describe me for me ;).

I make friends easily and often plan events to bring people together.

I suppose I've been the classic wandering soul for the last ten years or so, but I've recently settled in NYC after being on a national tour of a musical for a year. I guess I'm ready to seek my fortune, as they say... I've started a second career in real estate (I can hardly believe I'm doing it) and now that that's up and running, I'm looking forward to getting musically busy here in the city. Also- check out a couple of my songs on myspace.com/kenfranciswenzel.

I currently work at Harvest Health, a health food and vitamin supplement store. I really like it, and it's good to be in an environment promoting a positive lifestyle with cool people. I have worked a lot of different places before this, such as bead stores (3), organic farms, nannying, restaurants, and the odd corporate bull shit (which never lasted too long). But, my most important work was owning a local art gallery.
