About me: My name is Brian - writer/poet/musician. I am currently working on my Masters. I will be teaching the works of William Shakespeare on the collegiate level sometime in the near future if my writing doesn't break first. I've written all the music and lyrics for an industrial band, which I have dubbed "Daylight Enslavement." If you wish to know the meaning, don't hesitate to ask. I am very involved in the goth/industrial scenes in Cincinnati and in Louisville. I am extremely fascinated by all things Victorian. I will be remembered for great and many things.
