No one drives in New York because there's too much traffic.

About Me

About me. Do people even actually ever read these things? Oh well... my name's Brian and I spell my name with an "i" in it. I also worked at subway. Now I work as a programmer for a company called PolyPhaser.
I play guitar, bass, and drums. I've been in a lot of bands, but right now my main focus is a "solo project" of sorts called The Downcycle that I've been doing for years and years now.
What else... I enjoy partying, of course, and do it regularly (especially in the new house that I currently am living in). You'll usually see me at a party either commanding everyone to take shots with me, sitting in a corner pondering the meaning of life, or rocking out to whatever loud music is playing (once the alcohol gets flowing I have a hard time controlling myself in this area). Those that know me already know this.
I go to UNR and I'm majoring in computer science. That means I program stuff. That's about the most interesting thing I can say about what I'm going to school for, and what I'm currently doing for my job without boring 99% of whoever will read this.
I also really like movies...scary ones especially. There's nothing better than watching a genuinely scary movie with the lights off and the volume up, especially if you've got somebody with you.
Hmmm... let's see... generally I'm pretty easy going about everything, even when I'm pissed off. I think fighting is stupid, even when I'm drunk (although it seems a lot of people think that fighting is what you're supposed to do at parties). I like being totally random. Life's too short to do everything by the books... the best times ever are came up with doing stuff that's completetly out of the blue and off the top of your head.
More to come later when I think of more stuff to say. Oh yeah, I have AIM. here it is:

My Interests

my geetar, writing music, performing music, recording music, listening to music, partying, hearty handshakes, shiny things, tacos, nice pens, video games, slinkys, scary movies, unmatching socks, rain, sleeping in, sonic the hedgehog, and chocolate milk. there's probably some other stuff, too.

I'd like to meet:

someone that likes to do any of the stuff i do. or not. i like to meet everyone, damn it. unless you suck. if you suck, there's a good chance i wouldn't like to meet you.

Music:

I've decided to list a few of my favorite bands, rather than every band that I even moderately like as I did before:

Porcupine Tree
Riverside
Pendragon
Staind
Cold
Stabbing Westward
Tool
End of Green
Isis
Katatonia
Pain of Salvation
Pink Floyd

and about 57 billion infinity other ones. i have a lot of CDs (not songs--i only listen to full CDs you see).

Movies:

i like movies. scary ones are the best, but i will watch just about anything. if you've heard of a scary movie that you don't think i've seen, let me know, because i wanna see it. i like all kinds of movies though.

Television:

rarely watch. family guy, futurama, south park. that's about it.

Books:

are delicious

Heroes:


[the doom guy]

[sonic the hedgehog]
