I am here for Friends

About Me

I tried to add this thing about Abe Lincoln and myspace deleted everything i'd written here about myself. At this point, i have no recollection of what i'd written before. I'll just say that i think of myself as a pretty decent guy, easy-going, good sense of humor, very liberal politically. If you'd like to know anything else, feel free to ask me or one of my amazing friends.
