JIM GAFFIGAN SIGNED MY FOREHEAD!

About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I'm 27, live in Chicago, love music, love hockey, love movies, love to read, love to make people laugh...in short, I love being me (it's proven to be quite the crowd pleaser). Welcome to my little corner of myspace, get it while it's hot, I'm probably getting too old for this shit (truthfully, I probably already am).
