Acquaintance - Sandra

Daisy's LA friend. She kept me company in my brief visit to LA. Sandra was another rich heiress that was striving to become an actress. Another drama queen. Sandra was about 5’5”, blond, slender with a teeny little pot belly, a tattoo on her back and one on her arm. Beautiful eyes and a very pretty face. Smoked like she was from the south. She's a 23 year old recovering alcoholic. Don't you just love the upper class life?

***Update***
Sandra, having become a recent addition to the Los Angeles backdrop, felt more comfortable around me than anyone else. We both had no ties there with the exception of Daisy and we both had Florida in common. Our conversations typically darted in and out of Florida banter, relationships, New York, and how phony L. A. really was. We laughed a lot at the expense of these plastic mindless beings in their perpetual search for fame and it became a bonding point for us. Sadly I knew she would eventually suffer this fate, but it would something I really could have cared less about.

Girls - Dana

Over email she was incredibly funny and her personality was becoming the central point of attraction. She's cute, she's fun, she's your every day girl.

Girls - Emmy

She’s an Asian that defies reality as she has many features that are un-Asian in nature. For one she has a nice ass, and secondly she has a nice rack. This girl has the slamming body but is lacking in terms of personality. I mean seriously lacking. Kofa and I call her “Seca” which is a Spanish term that means “Dry.” As in her personality was “muy seca.” Talking to her was just short of talking to a bobble head doll. She would nod her head, look away, and have nothing else to say.

Friend - Belezza

Belezza is a cool mixed chick. Crossed with Vietnamese and Puerto Rican, she can get down to some latin music but can't hold her booze for shit. Love her. She always keeps me in check and gives me a little ego boost right when i need it.

Friend - Odessa

Odessa is Kofa's lady friend. She's cool and quirky and has a huge heart. A cool chick and i definately dig her friendship. My friendship with her came by way of Kofa, but we have become friends independant of them together.

Friend - Krystal

The hottie. I met her at Terrace Blues 6 years ago. She was a coctail waitress there. Jay and I became close friends with her and she made us Kings there. We never paid a cover, we always had a table, and we always got some drink hook ups. I later became good friends with her and now we are very close... maybe a little too close. People have their suspicions, but no one really knows.

Acquaintance - Conte

Juliens Friend. Conte's mother works at the Royal Harem as a bartender and is quite generous with her drinks. She's the hook up. Conte has also been seen canoodeling with Julietta from time to time. What gives?

Girls - Daisy

The Ex-Girlfriend. Daisy was a fusion girlfriend. 1 Part rebound, 1 Part for real relationship. She is an heiress to a fortune and has never worked a day in her life. We had a lot of fun together and did a lot of great things, but it didn’t work out in the end because she WAS CRAZY! Completely disconnected from reality. The girl was used to having her way all the time and I couldn’t live that way. Se was insanely jealous of my ex before her whom I remain, to this day, best friends with. Daisy and I still keep in touch. She lives in the west coast now and every now and then our paths cross, we do a lunch or a dinner, catch up, then go back to our lives. Cool chick, when she's a friend.

***UPDATE***

Daisy, having gone into hiding for a little while due to some messed up boyfriend issues finally emerged a new girl. She called me one EARLY thursday morning and convince me to jump on an airplane the next day bound for california. I hopped the plane, and i got into some trouble with her. Read Daisy Parts 1-3

Girls - Ashlyn

The Former Stripper - Ashlyn, the former stripper with a penchant for This Guy. She has a voracious sexual appetite and lust for the party. Ashlyn met up with This Guy at a strip joint, started scamming people for drinks, she eventually got him for 2 drinks and she stole both of his lap dances. The night escalated to a fevered pitch when in the middle of an erotic lapdance session with another stripper, she turns to him, kisses him, pulls back, then bites him in the shoulder. He screams, she pulls back, and she bites him in the other shoulder. The night ended rather quickly after that. This guy feels he lost control of the situation, and runs a plan to get her back under his spell. What does he do? He ignores her. Strippers need to be the center of attention.

Friends - Tom

The Club Lighting Guy from Orlando - Tom the ‘light man’ is what I called him. He used to be the lighting guy at a big club that I DJ’d at. He’s a weirdo but we love him. Very stoic and dry, but a good person none the less. When he goes out to the club, it’s strictly to drink and stand by the DJ booth like a security guard. He don’t move, he just stands there. He don’t dance or bop his head, he just stands there. Occasionally he will wave you over and tell you to listen to the song, but that’s about it.

Friends - Ayden

The Musician in Orlando - Ayden is a tall lanky metrosexual with thinning hair but style that can fall under the category of “Fabulous” or “Punk Rock.” Either/or… doesn’t matter he likes to call it “giggin.” Ayden and I met a while back when he was first starting to break into the music scene. He ended up becoming Clive’s number one groupie and eventually we all became friends. He started collaborating with a bunch of people and eventually carved a name out for himself. He’s the musician of the bunch. Ayden always has to be the center of attention, which is great because he’s funny as hell. He’s sharp, he’s witty, and he’s an all around good person.

Friends - Dj Clive

The Dj from Orlando - Clive is a big Dj in the Orlando scene. He got me my first gig and was pretty much responsible for all the gigs I ever got in Orlando. He is the single most influential person in regard to my DJ Career. I've gotten into lot's of good times with him and continue to do so everytime I go back to Orlando.

Acquaintance - Maggie

Julien's Ex Girlfriend - Maggie was my brother's ex-girlfriend from way back. She is a sweet girl, but lacks a little common sense. Sometimes you wonder what is going on in her mind becuase it's probably pretty interesting. She is welcome into my mothers house and is always treated like family by my mother. When I see her I usually give her a hug, ask her whats up, then go on my way. Maggie got the best of me when i was coming home one night during thanksgiving in Orlando. I was in a limo with my brother and all his friends and i was drunk as hell. She took the opportunity to lean in and begin to make out with me... my brother was highly entertained and egging her on. I was not pleased.

Father - Pa

The Father - Pa is a major influence in my life. I seek advice from him pretty regularly. He is level headed and very understanding. I could talk to him about anything. Him and my mother got a divorce about 2 years ago and he has made every effort to maintain a relationship with her. After all, they were together for 25 years. My father is an inspiration to me because he came to this country with very little and is now a highly successful engineer in a very large company. When I need business or office advice, he's my man.

Mother - Ma

The Mother - Ma is my sweet sweet momma. Her and my pop went through a divorce about 2 years ago after 25 years of marriage. She has only gotten stronger. She's made advances in her career that put her at the top of her game and she continues to improve. She is an inspiration to me because after 25 years of marriage, she pulled herself together and found happiness. She still manages to maintain a relationship with my pop so the whole family being together is not a rarity.

Sister - Julietta

The Sister - Julietta is the oldest of the siblings. She is 2 years older than me and is a bit of a wild one. She lived in Las Vegas for many years and learned to party with the best. She isn't happy unless she is getting herself into some trouble. Her and I are in the same boat lately as we are both going through painful break ups. We've been leaning on each other a lot as of late. She is now in Orlando living back at home with the family trying to recenter and just learn a new way of life. One that might involve a 401k or a pension. Who knows...

Brother - Ethan

The Brother - Only one year older than Julien, Ethan is the blacksheep. He is the quietest of the bunch. Few things in life that excite him like sports do. He's low key but a very loving dude. He is also probably the most over protective of the brothers. He has come to Julien's aide many times to whoop some ones ass. He is by no means an ego maniac like Julien, he's just a regular dude, with a regular job, that would do anything for the Buffalo Bills.

Brother - Julien

The Younger Brother. Julien is my younger brother by 4 years. He grew up most of his life in Florida and has a completely different perspective on dating. He's smooth, he's popular, he's got connections everywhere. Hanging out with Julien is almost always an adventure. To date, he is the only person that makes me want to be "cool" and in doing so, it usually results in me drinking way too much and passing out or getting sick. He also brings out the over protective brother in me because if someone starts beef with him, and it happens often, my rage surges and i come to the rescue. Funny how a little brother can have so much influence over me. His advice so far: "Be funny, make them love you, act indifferent, and be a dick sometimes."

Room Mate - Kofa

The Room mate. Kofa and I met through my cousin. He dated her for a very long time and I eventually got to know him. He was a Dj as well and so we hit it off. Eventually I ended up landing a weekly gig in the city so I enlisted his help. We had a blast and grew closer together. The gig eventually dried up and we went back to our normal lives when suddenly, my sweet Angelika broke up with me and moved out. A 2 bedroom apartment for one guy is just way too big. I called him up, he agreed to take the room, and we've been room mates ever since. Probably the best room mate anyone can ask for. He keeps my head up and my ass in the gym. He also has strange theories about women, that seem to work. He shares the same passion for music as I do, so we can usually be found chillin at the same spots acting stupid. Kofa is notoriously famous for his advice, the one piece of advice that has become a centerpiece of my single life is as follows:

“See you surround yourself with women and you start to become in tune with their needs. You begin to understand what they look for and what they’re about. I’m not talking about surrounding yourself with bitches you want to smash (that’s ghetto speak for girls you would like to have sex with), I’m talking about some platonic ones in there as well. You build a basketball team of ladies. Here’s the lay out. The ‘Point Guard’ is the one chick you trust. She’s like the coach, she knows about all your other chicks and she gives you the advice you need to make headway. The ‘Shooting Guard’ is the chick you got the best shot with. She’s not necessarily the one you want to be with, but you know that if you worked it just a little it would be in the bag. The ‘Center’ is the girl that steals the spot light. The one you are most interested in. This is the one that you’re really working on. The ‘Small Forward’ is the full on rebounder. This is the one that fills the voids. Need some one to talk to you when your feeling like a bitch, call her. Need some one to stroke your ego, call her. You get me? Lastly you got the ‘Power Forward’, also known as the friend with benefits. You keep this network of ladies around you and you will have it all figured out in no time. You’ll be killin it son… KILLIN IT!.”

Friends - Morgan

Acquaintance. Morgan is Chip's close friend. Cool girl.

Friends - Chip

Chip is Jay’s college buddy from back in the day. We became acquainted through Jay and eventually became a tight little co-ed group. Our typical gatherings consisted of Chip bitching about her man, or Chip and I making fun of Jay when he was trying to run college game on unsuspecting young ladies. Jay at some point had a thing for Chip, Chip had a thing for shitty boyfriends, and I had a thing for the juicy gossip that came of it all. The relationship was symbiotic and parasitic all at once.

The Story Behind Her Name:

Chip is a bit of a tard. She’s a hottie but a little clumsy and isn’t short of being quirky. Well one night while out with Jay and fellow college friends, Chip, in her sober mind, decided to take a piggy back ride atop a drunken pig, or in this case her deliriously drunk friend. Sounded like a brilliant idea, I’m sure, but as he began to walk, the drunk dude started wobbling (imagine that) and lost his balance. Chip along with friend, came tumbling down where luckily her face broke her fall. Thank god for teeth, because without them she probably would have slammed gum first into the concrete. The 2 front teeth connected first, shattered, and softened the blow for the rest of her face. I wasn’t there to personally witness this, but when I found out, then when I saw her, the name Chip was born. She has been called, and introduced as Chip ever since. She don’t like it too much but, sometimes we just have to play the cards we’re dealt.

Friends - Lola

Highschool Friend. Lola was a tall, leggy, kinda awkward athlete. She was very cool and it was only a matter of time before we ran into each other. At some point in the high school story I found myself liking her, she found herself liking me, we found ourselves liking each other. For some reason it just never worked out. Come to think of it, she is taller than me and that probably would have saved me from being curious about these tall Amazonians that I have had such catastrophic luck with thus far. Lola and I remained friends through the years keeping in contact mostly over email. Hearing from her is great as she can always give me that nice girl perspective. She is incredibly down to earth and quite often the voice of reason.

Girls - Hanna

The Elementary School Teacher. Hanna is best friends with Paige and incredibly attractive. When she is drunk she has the tendency to blabber for hours. Within moments of meeting her i had her number and email, however i saw that Bailey had particular interest in her. We all decided prior to going out that night that we would school Bailey in the art of talking to girls so i stood back and let him work his mojo. It was a little bit of a struggle but he eventually got her email address. Bailey not being one to work too hard for it, decided to drop the ball on it. I picked it up and ran. Send her an email, got a responce.... but then kinda just let it die as well. I suppose that's ok because she is, after all, from New Jersey. Our lives are much to busy for Jersey girls.

Girls - Paige

The Event Coordinator. Paige is an event coordinator at a midtown bar. She is the one to know if you want to get into a hot little party and score some free drinks. She is very cool, but most importantly she has a really hot friend, Hanna. My relationship with Paige is Platonic, however, she does get that glimmer in her eye when we meet up.

Girls - Missy

The Bartender - Probably the most night marish thing i have ever lived through. Missy tends bar at an upper west side local bar. She is funny as hell with her sarcasm and twisted humor so she is always fun to drink with. Whenever we show up she clears a spot for us and pours us our first drinks. She always hits us with freebies and shots so we make sure to tip her well. Missy and I hit it off pretty well when we first met, but she had a man. His name was Derek. A psycho jealous ex that ruined his relationship with her by cheating on her. Missy needed a shoulder to cry on... I gave her a bed instead. She was the first real sexual encounter I had since my sweet Angelika and oh how horrible it was. It was worse than the time I lost my virginity, and that, my friends, is pretty bad. I have since crossed her off the list of potentials but remain good friends with her... afterall... It's always nice to know a good bartender.

Girls - Daniela

The Graphic Designer - The first girl I met after the break up. Daniela was eerily similar to Angelika. Same nationality, same age, even same profession. The only difference really was that Daniela was tall and leggy. A first for me. I was excited about the prospect. However, after just 3 dates, she proved to me that New York City really does harbor an abnormal amount of insane people. She was a bit too eager to make me into the next one and I was just not ready for it. We still talk on occasion because, well, maybe I should give her a chance. I guess I keep hoping that she will eventually stop taking crazy pills.

Steering Committee - Bailey

Bailey is an old friend from Orlando. When I was young and wriggles he was my partner in crime. I used to Dj house music and he was a big house head, so we bonded. I eventually introduced him into Dj'ing and we have been best buds ever since. We were both headed in no particular direction when we lived in Orlando and the nightlife was consuming us quickly. We both had to make changes that would affect the rest of our lives. I left Dj'ing behind to pursue my current career and he joined the military. I eventually moved to New York and began to climb that ladder while he was going to school and traveling the world with the military. The military straightened his ass out. He rocked the school grades, was honorably discharged, and found his way into Columbia University. We were reunited this year and have gotten closer than we ever were. Bailey hasn't fully integrated into society yet, so speaking in civilian is nearly impossible for him. He is single and has been since the first days of his military career. His approach is great, he has the balls to talk to any girl, I mean this guy was in a war, so nothing scares him, however his delivery is not so great. His advice helps me in seeing the world as he does. Not having a girl doesn't bother him. That's where I need to get to. He will help me to be in peace with my single life, I will help him land a chick.

Steering Committee - Jay

Jay is my cousin-slash-bestfriend. He finally graduated law school, passed the bar, and became a lawyer in midtown. We grew up as kids together with the same dreams and goals, but took wildly different paths in the end. For a time we lost touch, but were reunited when I moved back to New York. Inseperable ever since. Jay is intelligent, blunt, and sometimes crude, but is always a true friend when you need him. He lives life by his own means and has the amazing ability to lawyer his way out of anything so a conversation with him can sometimes be tiresome. Jay is never wrong and always has an answer. Jay also has the ability to turn me into an 8 year old as i do him. We are not beyond fart and poo poo jokes, nor do we skip the completely inappropriate jokes that startle the unsuspecting listener. His agenda is to get me away from being a serial monogomist and bring me into the world of dating, having fun, and enjoying meaningless sex. Jay's love life is messy but he manages it well. His advice is always appreciated.

Angelika

The Ex-Girlfriend that started it all. My sweet sweet Angelika. As our lives played out and our careers took hold we began to drift apart. She had the strength to make the first move... I didn't. My life became hectic with work as we were launching a new start up venture and it took its toll on my personal life. I was constantly breaking plans and away on business trips. My career soared but my personal life slowly deteriorated. Our sex life took a huge hit and it started a domino effect that would lead to our separation. I didn't want it, but she knew she needed a change. It was the right thing for her and I commend her for her strength. The separation was amicable and we are still on speaking terms, however, we don't speak very often at all.

This Guy

Me. Fresh out of a 4 year relationship and trying to put myself back together. These are my experiences as I reintroduce myself to the dating community in search for "The One!" All the stories are 100% true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.
