About Me

Uhmm, me. I have a hell of a time describing myself. One of my best friends described me some time ago as "Brian; the evil, irish, leprechaun monkey." I don't know how well i fit this description because i am certianly not evil (well mostly not anway.) I definately have irish heritage but my accent is not trying to play towards that. If you ever hear my voice it may sound like it but it is simply lazy east texan. I don't know what to say about being a so called "leprechaun." I tend to always sit with my legs at odd angles or indian style and can be amazingly agile so i guess "monkey" can be fitting. Really I'm just an average blue collar tweaker. I make my living doing music, no seriously I do really. My day job is a production manager for one of the largest independent distributors of music in the states. I also play bass in a band named Arride with three of my closest friends around. I am a Texan that is hard headed, faithful, loyal, spiritual, clever, funny (at least in better attempts), and somewhat of a geek at times. All this and more, sometimes to a fault.a href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com"
