Done with it all

Don’t Ring My Bell

Last night I came downstairs where Abe was waiting for me to find him talking to Jessica Simpson. He had no idea who she was (probably still doesn’t). Just preys on beautiful women walking by. When I gestured over to him she went into the deli. NY is the nicest place to be. You never [...]
