When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

About Me

I'm Brandon, born and raised in Monterey, CA. I have a lot to learn about life and this world and everyday I try to do that. I currently live on my own in Del Rey Oaks. I have three brothers who are great. Brian, Nicky, and Shane. I'm the second to youngest. I enjoy going out to bars or just staying at home and watching movies or playing some Halo. Lets see, I'm a tall guy, a burly man, I've been told I'm charming, honest, and the MAN. I'm a Sagittarius. Not too sure if that matters, but I think it has some characteristics that are above logic. Any Questions for ol' B? Please ask away. I also have a blog that I write on, check it out Cogito, Ergo Sum..
