About Me

Create or get your
very own MySpace Layouts I love power ballads, old and new. I'm a PACKER fan living in Bears country. I didn't drink coffee until 2 years ago and now I can hardly get through a day without it. Being a vegetarian isn't as hard as you might think.

I've decided to run the Chicago Marathon. Check out my progress:
