About Me

Sober, but not a drinker hater. Graduated UW w/ dual degrees. Outside: Love skiing; hiking; fishing; swimming; and other ing's. Inside: Movies; Playing pool; bowling; pinball; and at times turning off all the phones, locking the door, starting a fire and just relaxing. Pretty broad music interests, but mainly Rock/Alternative. I love the northwest, but as long as I'm near water and a mountain I'm happy.

My Interests

I'm interested in you, yes you. Really I've been waiting my whole life to meet you. Right, so really I'm interested in eating when I'm hungry; sleeping when I'm tired; fishing when I have time; Listening to music that fits my mood-Jazz, Rock, Alternative, Classical, and yes even country; I'm Irish so things related to that; pursuing my education; active participation in helping Bill W. & Dr. Bob S.; politics; social & environmental issues; Skiing my ass off in the winter; swimming in a lake or river on a hot summer day; BBQ-ing anytime; spending time with my friends in whatever mayhem we are creating; laughing-which I do often.

I'd like to meet:

Dead: JFK, Albert Einstein, Lincoln, Grandpa on my dad's side.Alive: Whoever I cross paths with

Music:

Forget it; there's no way to write this. Way too broad of interest and it would only bug me because I would continually add more as I remembered.

Movies:

Ok, so here's a few that encompass a range of movie interests: Resevoir Dogs, Man Bites Dog, Citizen X, Shawshank Redemption, Matrix, Usual Suspects, Snatch, Pulp Fiction, Bad Lieutenant, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Bruce Lee films, Braveheart, The Game, Unforgiven, Tombstone, The ring, Evil Dead 2, The Borne Identity, Transporter, Magic, Mississippi Burning, American Beauty, Eddie Murphy Raw, Billy Madison, Tommy Boy, Happy Gilmore, Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, (That one about the beauty pageant with last years winner in an anorexic ward; way funny), The Color Purple, Of Mice and Men, O'Brother Where Art Thou, Life is Beautiful, Too many movies to list, but I like the old black and whites also. I'm the biggestest weenie when it comes to horror flicks. Quite pathetic really, but entertaining as well. I will NEVER watch Arachnophobia again! EVER! Although I absolutely LOVE Friday the 13th the TV series.

Television:

Not a good combination. I need a drool tray when I'm watching and you can forget even talking to me because I am one with the TV. TV very bad to Brendan. To illustrate: My best friend Joe hit me on the arm trying to get my attention. I just moved with the punch and didn't respond. Five minutes later I rubbed my shoulder feeling some discomfort and turning to him asked him if he hit me. I swear my brain is being sucked out when I'm watching TV. My favorite shows if I have the time are West Wing, X-Files, Law and Order, Third Watch, That 70's Show, Everybody Loves Raymond, and Antique roadshow It's not on anymore but I used to love watching Friday the 13th the series. Not great programming, but great brain candy.

Books:

I like to read, but with school I had to read many I didn't like.

Heroes:

Ok, not to be cheesy but seriously my mom. She's the most dependable loving person I know. No mom jokes or the five Irish brothers will be at your doorstep. Also Ken D. WA, Earl H. CA., Clint H. CA, Don P. CO., Darlene R.I.P, Faye, Mike, Rory, Jay, Pete and Liz, Jeffrey F., Chris D., John and April McB., Alvin B., Chad A., Dave R.; Who are all my heroes for the examples they are in life.
