The COUNT + this Muppet = VLAD
Oh my favorite new person now, works with me at the restaurant.
He is this amazing gentleman ( he very much deserve the distinction of being called a gentleman by the way), whose god given name is appropriately amazing , Vladimir Vladimir.
Vladimir could easily translate in a muppet. He has a Croatian accent and tone of voice that sounds very similar to the Count from Sesame Street. He is tall, with a mustache and has his posture that give him visual a sense of humor and warmth that very much matches his nature.
he's humor and openness seems effortless.
he has been with the restaurant 15yrs, like many in this micro community he has a Eastern European charm and easy nature that can at time make him seem either like he is getting away with something or he is working diligently.
Vlad has a sweet tooth. many mornings after walking over the bridge from Astoria to midtown Manhattan in rain, shine or as of lately bitter bitter cold, he often has a box of cookie or chocolate in hand that he is very willing to share.
I swear the first time Vlad offered me a cookie at 9:50 a.m. he most have thought i think cookies are the greatest thing int eh world by my reaction to him...0
"Noo- rEE- na vood uoo laa-ike a coo-keee."
i almost pissed myself it was so amazingly like the cookie monster and the count mated and made this amazingly charming man.
