Marty Brown, Esq.

About Me

I was born in the part of the desert people forget is desert. My mom was a skinny schoolteacher with huge sunglasses. My dad had a fat beard once that never returned. I've seen pictures. I don't remember much from my childhood, but I taught myself how to tie my shoes and I never learned how to ride a bike. This caused me much embarassment, mostly because I had to ride around the neighborhood on my skateboard on one knee. I didn't balance very well standing up. Now, I'm in my late twenties and I'm not quite sure how I got here.Update: These really are my Top 32 friends. If you are not on here, it is because you are a dick.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Domino players, Graffiti dudes, Farmer chicks, Three-quarters of the people in Waking Life, One of these violin players , Someone who remembers me from summer camp, People who use the phrase "Old Bean," Talking mooses
