About me: Actor and musician living in Chicago now for over five years. When I'm not in my weekly comedy show or being a serving wench, I like to write songs, go for walks, read interesting things, and ponder the mysteries of the universe. I'm a news junkie and I have prolific interests in music (which is the love of my life). I'm a little sentimental, a mama's boy, and I have a colorful, if sometimes flawed, vision of the world around me. I was what you might call relationship-challenged for most of my 20's, but I'm hoping that might change some day soon.
OBAMA IN 2008!!!!
Who I'd like to meet: people interested in politics, other musicians, rough-around-the-edges types, pacifists, someone who's bicycled cross-country, Parker Posey, shy guys with wry smiles.
Why are you neglecting me? Is it because I haven't sent you any Tommy Hilfiger short sets I bought out of a gas station? Is that really it? I apologize. My excuse is because the only short sets I see in gas stations are G-Unit and I am not sure if you roll like that. I miss you, man.
Hey, you! Just wanted to say hello, and wish you happy travels this weekend (I think you said it was this weekend, right?)Hope all is well, and give my love to the fam!
Sorry to cut our conversation short the other night, we were getting to a spot where my reception was going to cut out! So my mom said that your brother got the Whiteville church and is moving back. Your parents are staying where they are though, right?
Ha ha! Yes, I remember pics of you from a couple years back when you had the beard. You were ahead of the curve, baby! What groovy new trend can you start next?
