About Me



I am all for people that want to plug their music. Well, as long as they don't suck. And that is left up to me, of course, to determine if they suck or not. Those folks that are good enough, I'll be happy to add to my friends so you get extra plugs and links. Shibby!

also also wik... you can check out my non-myspace blog if you want. it's just packed full of stuff about my fanstastic kids and other silly things.
