    Brandon's Interests
General
MusicBefore computers god made music. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love music. I like everything from abba to zappa! I do not beleieve in listening to just one genre of music either, it kind of limits your viewing pleasure so to speak! You can usually tell allot about someone just by listening to the music they listen to. I am a lyrics guy, I don't always like the beat of some music, but if the lyrics are there then it's on! Songwriters are some of the most brilliant people you will ever run in to! Thier soul is on thos words at the end of your tongue. My favorite group would be Pink Floyd. Roger waters is "one" of the best story tellers ever. Flip in "Amused to Death" or 'The pro's and cons of hitchiking" and he will tell you his story. I can most relate to him as well. Second would be the Beatles and John Lennon.

MoviesMovies, well like music if you wacth the right one it can take you places you want to be for 2 hours or more (give or take) I love epics. And yes I like love stories if they are told in a good way like Once, I even liked "Down to you" Once, Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind, Neverwas, Across the Universe (of course), The Science of sleep, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Garden State, Girl, Interrupted, War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death, Blade Runner, The Martian Child, The Crow, The Wall, A Clockwork Orange, Romeo + Juliet, Reign Over Me, What dreams may come...So many more that my figers would bleed..See my wrists? I've bled enough
Television

I can tell I am getting older as I like the news! Cnn or MSNBC. No fox please!! I like House and weeds but I dont sit and wacth to much of it anymore. Kids ya know lol.

If one man should not be in charge of the strongest power in the "western world" it should not have been this guy..I did not vote for him thats for sure.

Well Here are all my kids in a row lol..Wow was I busy and at a young and tender age!

/
Books

Hmm I have a new found love for books I did not have when I was younger..I love all of Shakespeare, Paradise Lost, The Odessy, Still reading The Divine Comedy which is still confusing me. Loving Marcus Aurelius, Just got done reading "I am America and So can you" by the Colbert Man, was funny but he is to right wing for me.

These are the kids.

This is my daughter (my little geek in training) she has Cri-Du-Chat (cry of the cat in french) Her 5th chromosone was deleted upon conception. But she is a bundle of joy.. Dont ya love her shirt hahaha.

About me:

Well Not much to know really. People say I speak in riddles? I think they just think in questions! I have a bad short term memory, for as long as I can remember. Other than that I dig music,(I still call Cd's Albums) movies, I am into Home Theatres, computers and helping others on the web fix theirs. I am well known across the net as Merlin. I have a dry, sarcastic British sense of humor (thanks to Monty Python and Benny Hill. I try not to get caught up in life's little games. There is to much more to worry about than my own little pathetic life. (ok not pathetic). I mumble, as I do believe in the saying "speak softly and carry a big dick" Oopps I meant stick..If I offend you, well don't read what I have to say.

If you wanna know anything else, hell just ask. I will tell you like it is for the most part

..

* I am 35 and my name is Brandon.

* I wish the human race would stop treating life as a "race"

* I truly beleieve it only takes one to save the world

* I wish I knew what "true love" felt like

* I beleieve Americans are the most uptight people in the world but also some of the greatest people in the world

* I am very political as all politics effect all of us.

* I derive great delight from political incorrectness.

* I consider myself to be very open-minded yet stuck in my ways.

* I could totally be a vegetarian and never look back.

* I fully embrace my inner sixty-two year old and I'm more then secure with my losserness.

I Love music. It is my inner sanctity.

I have dug computers for almost 10 years (and I know how to use em lol)...Did I say dig?

* I’ve always considered myself a patriot; of lately, that is harder and harder to sustain.

* I’m generally not offended easily and try to have a good attitude.

* I am very liberal socially and quite conservative financially.

* I am like 97% against capital punishment; even for Saddam Hussein (he could've always gone hunting with Cheney, no questions asked).

* I don’t put my faith in absurdities or destructive things.

* I’m a smidge more compassionate; than, I am disappointed.

* I believe victimless crimes - shouldn't be crimes.

* I love sporks!

* I emphatically prefer potheads to alcoholics.

* I am frightened of receiving my own way.

* I believe the saying: "if you can't beat them, join them" is for lazy cowards.

* I'm not sure, if I take myself too seriously or not seriously enough.

* I believe whole heartily their is beauty in simplicity.

* I wish everyone was more honest with themselves and with others.

* I believe that when you die, that is that (unless you have children).

* I also Believe there is beauty in complexity.

* I am glad I have a job I love

Who I'd like to meet:
I dont know, people that have the same interest as me I suppose. Then again I like meeting people who's opinions differ from mine as I do like to learn new things. I am tired of meeting fake people though. We as a people are just so wound up these days. We are in the gimme now generation and yes I am to blame as well as I want to be friends with my kids as well. There has to be a balance there though!

Basically, I parked down the Hill on College ave and walked a couple blocks up to campus. I did stop at Starbucks for a Triple Venti Caramel Soy Latte. College Bagels, my normal haunt, was packed!!!!! It was raining so I got soaked while walking the campus. Everyone kept stopping me for directions. I was like, "Ummm... I haven't been on campus since Before Carl Sagan died; Carl Sagan died in '96."
It was nice getting reacquainted with the Cornell Campus. It is gorgeous during the fall when the leaves are changing. If you are ever in the NY area , you need to visit Ithaca on the weekend and hit up the Moosewood or the Mate Factor in the commons for great food! Ithaca is a sweet little progressive gown town.

Well, I have to admit, after working with the health care field for 13 years, that shit happens. Everyone is fucking everyone. Generally, doctors are the most dysfunctional elitist around. If your into pseudosciences, I think its a perfect example of arrested development.
