Brooklyn Is Hot this Weekend.

Bklyn's hot but I am definitely under the weather
I have a cold, and being sick is not something I do well. I am sure that I am passing it around. Everyone at my job is down for the count and its getting messy. No worries I will be out tonight infecting everyone I can. Maybe it will be you that my beautiful and intoxicating germs bump into. Hope you got your flu shots.
