Brian ***Obama/Biden '08***

Hope is a 4-letter Word!

About Me

Everybody talks about how laid back and easy-going they are. I'm not going to say that because I'd be lying. I'm intense, argumentative, and sarcastic but for some reason, most people aren't terribly put off by it. I even managed to find someone to marry me, and we have two great kids. Somehow I got lucky with that. I don't deserve as good as I wound up with. (Thanks Patty) ..

My Interests

My interests mainly lie in the arts, especially theatre and performing. I've been acting off and on since I was 14, so you do the math!I've also been heavily involved in environmental and political activism. I have a motto: "Friends don't let friend vote Republican!" But even still, some of my best friends are republican.

I'd like to meet:

Anybody random from the past is cool and anybody who shares some of my interests and thinks we might have something to talk about. I'm not into kinky web cams, buying condominiums in Florida nor am I interested in joining a pyramid scam. Obama interview in 2002 basically predicting what would happen in Iraq. A re-enactment of Obama's 2002 Speech against The Iraq War. He was right on!

Music:

Green Day, The Killers, Sum 41, Jet, The Fastbacks, Bad Religion, Magnapop, Keb'Mo', Matt Keating, Red House Painters, The Descendents, All, NOFX, Elvis Costello, Old Liz Phair, Stereolab, Rancid, The Guts, Devil Dogs, The Pixies, Yo La Tengo, Red Red Meat, The Runaways, Poison, Motley Crue, Def Leppard (from my nostalgic High School Days), Damone, Ani DiFranco, All American Rejects, Weezer, Lotion, and many many more! Dead Milkmen-"Punk Rock Girl." Bad Religion - Honest Goodbye Green Day - Jesus of Suburbia Descendents - 'Merican Gotta Love The $25,000 Pyramid!

Movies:

Favorite of all time: "Dead Poets Society." Other favorites would be Glory, Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back, The Alien Trilogy, Moulin Rouge, Gorillas In The Mist, Shakespeare in Love, The Shawshank Redemption and many many many more.....just too many to list.

Television:

Amazing Race, How I Met Your Mother, Samantha Who?, Two and A Half Men, The Office, Grey's Anatomy, and Lost.

Books:

Favorite authors: John Irving, Nelson DeMille, Arthur Hailey. Favorite playwrites: Arthur Miller, Noel Coward, Tennessee Williams, Sam Shepard, amongst others.

Heroes:

I can't answer this. It is too corny. To have a hero would imply that I strive to emulate somebody, which is ridiculous. I can only be the best person I know how to be.
