About Me

Hi there, how are you? Thanks for checking out my profile. :) My name is Brian Rubin, and I try to be a pretty nice guy. I currently work in Search Engine Optimization, which is a lot of fun. I'm into movies, karaoke, and books. I'm heavily interested in military history, especially World War II the years of the Age of Fighting Sail. I'm also a big fan of aviation.

Oh, and I'm a HUGE FireFly fan, so here's the Firefly theme song for your enjoyment. :)

Also, I'm almost exclusively found on LiveJournal, so you can visit my LiveJournal page by clicking below:
