About Me

I'm a sucker for karaoke. You say the magic word, and I'm there in an instant. I do karaoke like it's my job. I love to bust out the old school hip hop. I know so many songs it's intimidating. When I was a kid I used to move the zipper back and forth real fast on my coat and pretend I was a rapper. Now my dream has finally come true. If I have a pink bat in my hand, watch out. It's my secret weapon. table table table td.text div { background-image:url
