I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm originally from the South Side of Chicago where I went to tons of Sox games. I went to Curie High School (class of 1993). I am now married and live in a small town called Mahomet which is west of my alta mater University of Illinois. I collect records hardcore, in fact it is kind of my addiction. I collect Jazz, Funk, and Hip Hop and I sell some LP's on Ebay when I need the cash. I have a whole room just for my records, but my collection keeps growing and they have spread out to other rooms. (I'm sure my wife is happy about that). I like to listen to music all day, and I love to create since I am an artist. I also am a DJ, MC, and I play softball every year. That about sums me up. Oh, I am crazy by the way.De La Soul - Breakadawn
