About Me


GEAUX TIGERSHappiness makes up in height for what it lacks in length.
-Robert Frost
For better or worse, I decided to let my friends say their piece about me in my "About Me" section. After all, they should know be best right? Here is what they have come up with so far. I'd like to preface this by saying that some of my friends are assholes and that's why I love them.


Mermaid Brandon drinks too much whiskey, (or whatever that brown smelly stuff is) and LOVES LSU football too much!

Inconceivable! How can one drink too much bourbon and love LSU football too much????
Da..Fiya,,

Shit I can't even decide what to say about myself let alone someone else..lol

That says enough I suppose...

When I first saw the Tyler Durden character sitting on a plane grinning under his sunglasses in the movie Fight Club, I thought, "Hey, it's Brandon."

HA!! This is my favorite because I thought Mr. Pitt looked the shit on the plane.

Brandon's got the "green-button blues." In other words, he is a chronic drunk dialer. But it is a moderately low cost hobby; he gave up drunken video poker long ago. If you enjoy receiving slurry phone calls between the hours of 12am-4am, give this guy your number.

No mo drunk dialing till after the baby. But look out because I have LOTS of time to make up for... For the record, you stared the drunk dialing darlin!

"I'm really good at flicking poker chips on brynn. However, she kicks my ass in flip cups."

HOW ABOUT THAT ONE.

::evil laugh::

I'll accept that, but I'll add the protest that in a 1 on 1 flip cup competition I would rock your fucking socks. I had a weak team and you know it.

All true.. Now here is what I have to say about me
I work for a GeoSpatial company as a OrthoPhoto Project/Production Manager. What in the hell does that mean anyway? It means that we create the imagery that you see on Google Earth, Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, etc. In fact if you look at the detailed (half foot) imagery of New Orleans, we did that. Well most of it. Another department at another office did the portions around the lake. When I am not doing that I look forward to spending time with my completely awesome wife and our ridiculously beautiful baby girl. I love pictures and the camera is never at rest in my hands.
Aslyn and I have embarked on a labor of love in our spare time and launched a web design company, Lucid Eye Designs . I have been dabbling in web design for many years and got into dynamic and E-Commerce websites in 2003. If you are looking for a website, drop by and give us a look.
When I am not working, playing with the family, or working on a website I go fishing. Aslyn and I both fish from kayaks. Yup those little plastic boats that you have seen floating in the lake or in the marsh could have been captained by one of us. I think that I am addicted. Seriously. I have always loved to fish, but it has been amplified since I started in a kayak. What started out as an affordable way to get on the water has become a paradigm shift for me. If I won the lottery, I'd still fish from a kayak. My next goal is a duck blind for the kayak. Interested in getting hooked? Check out the Bayou Coast Kayak Fishing Club site.
The only thing that can stop me in my tracks is an LSU football game. If you want to see me go completely apeshit, watch a game with me but bring Maker's Mark because this ride isn't free.
Aslyn and I are both looking forward to getting back into disc golf once our daughter is big enough to bring along. Do you sling plastic too? Drop a line because we are looking for people to disc with!
