About Me:
A transposed Southern boy sans accent. A writer of words
and stuff. A Rubik's Cube of wit, whimsy, and blistering
sarcasm. A romantic who sees True Love as the Loch Ness
Monster - I believe in its existence even though the proof
is pretty thin. A loveable smart-ass (or so says my mom)
who gets the Big Joke and is not afraid to laugh in the
face of the Big Joker. A swell fella with a heck of a
singing voice (everybody says so)!
-
Who I Want to Meet:
I'd love to find somebody who's brilliant, creative,
hilarious (or thinks I am), slightly off-kilter and
willing to forgive my (frequent) forays into pop culture
obscurity and who's also convinced that the answers to
Life's Big Questions can be found in used book stores,
deep dish pizzas, Superman comics, and Capra/Wilder/Coen
Bros./Scorsese/
Gilliam/Anderson (PT and Wes)/Crowe/Jeunet
et Caro/etc. movies.
A hint of mystery, withering stares, and the collarbones
of a young Audrey Hepburn wouldn't hurt either.

Testimonials and Comments for Brendan
wonderful guy and if he hadn't moved away and
left me in 6th grade I would probably have married
him! Don't let him get away like I did. He will
make some lucky lady a wonderful hubby.
years, but I can honestly say that a
day without Brendan is a day without
sarcasm. He has a delicous wit that I
can't get enough of. I don't see him
nearly enough, and I will try and
change that. He is dad bestest guy
around! Ladies, truly...you need to
get a piece of this guy, he's a catch.
(and I have seen him in the locker
room and let's just say, no one will
ever point and laugh)
before you try to be friends with him,
or he'll get all uppity!
earring? Always the funniest guy at
comedy shows who wasn't actually a
comedian, I highly reccomend Brendan
for various social interactions.
singing, dancing, writer that I've had the
pleasure to see in a tuxedo. He's a true
renaissance man (though not a renaissance
festival man, as I've never seen him eat food-
on-a-stick). Not to know him would be a loss.
Then again, knowing him has probably gotten
me blacklisted from any number of bars,
temples and private preschools.
war, if we'd ever been in the war and my life
needed saving and he knew how to do it.
He's a true romantic; he's so romantic, I'm
surprised he finishes his screenplays. Don't
let the fact that he lists "getting laid" as one
of his interests make you think he's
unromantic, ladies. F*ck him anyway. I
always figured that Brendan would be
posthumously recognized as the genius he
is now after dying penniless and alone. I
like that about him.
formative early years in school, and was quite
a profound influence! And, indeed, I STILL
have those rather incriminating videos -
particularly the one where he portrays a
nebbish old man who defeats an evil zombie.
Also random footage of him typing out scripts
on an Atari computer and beating up
strangers in laundromats. A smorgasbord of
laughs to be had by all - or at least a raised
eyebrow...
there are those perforated cut outs. if you're
really careful you can pull the specially
designed slot from the corner and fold it so
that the cans come out one at a time. most
people never use that. they just rip the case
open and put all 24 cans in the crisper drawer
where the lettuce is supposed to go, but
Brendan is really careful about using those
perforated cutouts. it's pretty amazing
