Maybe I'm a literature snob, but I think The Da Vinci Code is the most overrated book ever written.
If anyone out there has been able to finished reading Anna Karenina, my hat is off to you.
Heroes
Brad Pitt-cause he's been with Jennifer Aniston AND Angelina Jolie. He must have been someone really good in his last life, like Jesus or Gandhi or something.
About me: I'm not a Doctor, but I play one on TV....
Other than that, here's my story in 3rd person...
Brian O'Halloran is a true renaissance man who has read over 10 books, two of which had no pictures. Having attended four colleges, he refused to obtain a degree or even declare a major. He has traveled worldwide: Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Amsterdam and Laredo.
Born sometime ago to circus performers, he was orphaned at the age of 3 in a bizarre accident involving several drunk clowns, a midget and 2 elephants. After this tragic incident, Brian was taken in and raised by a pack of wolves (if you have ever seen him eat you will attest to this).
At the age of 13 Brian challenged the pack's alpha male. He lost badly. Wounded and ostracized, he set out for the mean streets of Abilene, Texas. Once there, he joined a gang known as “The Country Club Fierce Preppies". After a dismal attempt at being a thug, Brian attended Cooper High School and graduated at the bottom 1% of his class.
Following his lengthy college stay, Brian tried his hand at boxing. Known as “The Crusher” in the boxing community, his career was short-lived. Just before his first televised fight, Brian was disqualified by the Texas Golden Gloves Association because of numerous medical problems and his inability to avoid punches.
Brian then joined the semi-pro football team, “Mean Machine”. Known as “Dr. Touchdown” he was the starting quarterback three years straight and played many defensive positions as well. His brilliant career (41 wins, 1 loss and 1 tie) was cut horribly short when he dropped back to throw one of his signature missile passes but the pocket collapsed. While scrambling for a first down, spinning and juking opponents half his age, he ruptured the disc between his L4 and L5 vertebrae.
Brian’s hobbies include watching television and sleeping up to 15 hours a day. He enjoys all kinds of music from classical to gangster rap. He can be found most weekends at one of the many watering holes in the warehouse district of Austin, Texas, although he'd rather be at home. Brian has been in a myriad of dysfunctional relationships going from one psychotic girlfriend to the next. Even after all this hardship, amazingly, friends describe Brian as energetic, upbeat and even-tempered.
Oh yeah, during the late 80’s till now he was in some bands.
2008 update. Brian has been playing bad guys in a couple of Jon Merril’s films. In the next project, which is a comedy, he will be playing a simple minded private investigator. Nothing like type casting!
BTW I'm 41 but I post a younger age because I'm shallow.

Best Childhood memory ever! Wait for it... half way thru..
Who I'd like to meet: Jesus. He owes me $50. Every time I mention it to him he starts mumbling something about "dying for my sins"??? He's always bumming cigarettes too. And when he does shows up with beer, it's always Natural Light. Furthermore, he never wants to turn water into wine late night. We're all like "come on Jesus, hook us up, the bars are closed and we're totally not buzzed"! Then he's says he's tired and it takes a lot out of him. Whatever…
Hey Man. Things are good. I should be mailing you guys a DVD by the end of December. It is a much different movie now. I hope all is well with you guys and your sitcom is coming along...
Hey, Catboy. Long time no comment. I am drawing a blank on your real name...I vaguely remember you lived in Abilene for a while and that you're in a band...
