A bit about myself....
Hi. My name is Jon Mikael Wilmenius, Jompa to my friends and to, well, everybody actually. I was born in Stockholm 9th of August 1968. I live in Fruängen, a suburb of Stockholm with my fiancee Hanna and my 4 year old son Zack. I am a huge hockey fan, Swedish team AIK gets me going anytime, in both hockey and football and in NHL, Boston Bruins rocks my world. I have a huge love for music and love everything from Frank Sinatra to Slayer. A good song is a good song, but no hip hop/R&B/ for me, please.
