I'm not half as smart as I think I am, but I am twice as bright as you would ever believe me to be. That makes one of us dangerous. I am just not sure which...

I spend all day thinking up clever catch phrases and sayings. Above is the best that I have come up with in 28 years. Something tells me I need to find a new hobby.

I believe there are two ways to do things in life: the easy way, and the fun way.

Banter is one of my favorite things in the world. I need to be challenged and kept on my toes. A nimble mind is not only necessary to keep up with me, it's also a hell of a turn on.

I am only as arrogant as I need to be.

I would say I have eclectic tastes, but everyone seems to say that these days. I am a literature and history buff, as well as a mythology and religion buff. I am a follower(and critic) of all things political. I think the word "dilettante" is a great way to describe me, but only because as an English major I learned to cloak my shortcomings with fancy words.

My favorite historical figures are Jesus Christ, St. Francis of Assisi, The Buddha, Teddy Roosevelt, and Joshua Abraham Norton, First Emperor of the United States. Don't know him? Look him up. Trust me. It's worth your time.

I am passionate about a lot of things. Politics make me angry, but only because I think we as a people fall short of our potential consistently. Why is it so difficult to run a society that is both compassionate and efficient?

I am a man of Faith, who believes compassion is the most important thing in the world. I believe doing the right thing takes effort, and going about your daily life and "not doing anything bad" is simply not enough. We live in an oft-times shitty world, and it will take more than minimal effort to improve things.

I have several friends who call me their conscience. Or, Father Brian (hence the name). My other nicknames include The Barstool Evangelist, The Reverend, Superman, The Kingpin, and Teddy Brosevelt.

I love nature.

If you ever want to watch me go bat-shit crazy, just sit me down and turn on the news.

I have a warped sense of humor. It's the only thing my brothers and I have in common. We are four people united by a common love of all things strange, debased, and just plain wrong. I was on good behavior when writing this summary. But I would avoid writing me if you are easily offended. My filter is not usually this active.

Same thing we do every night Pinky. Try and take over the world!

I am going back to school in the fall, though I need to buckle down on a "what" to study. I feel like I would be happy if I spent the rest of my life studying, so part of me believes I should seek a career in academia. I could easily see myself as an English professor, though I would like to go back to study Philosophy, Theology, and maybe even Physics. There is just so much to learn, and so little time...

Breathing?

And sarcasm.

Ahhh... I'm a voice actor, and, having been paid once for my talents, no longer have to say that I am an amateur. I'm a writer, though I make no claims towards professionalism. I also give great back rubs.

I'm very fond of camping and hiking. I like to go off of the beaten path, and I find the most fun in actually ignoring the trail and climbing on the rocks, trees, and other dangerous obstacles. I recently fell into a creek as a result of such activities, but that's the price we pay for fun, isn't it? Like I said above: the easy way, and the fun way.

... I have legs?

Or it could be the eyes. That's what people always tell me. Of course, I couldn't tell you if they are the FIRST things people look at. Just the most prominent and remarkable, I suppose.

And no, I do not wear mascara.

I was an English major. I have way too many favorite books to list, but I will list a few: The Dark Tower Series, The Stand, and Salem's Lot by Stephen King, Paradise Lost (Hell, any Milton poetry will do), The Wheel of Time Series, Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns and DK2, 1984, The Sandman, American Gods or anything else by Neil Gaiman, Preacher, A Prayer for Owen Meany and The Cider House Rules by John Irving, Slaughter-House Five and Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut, Shogun, Parable of the Sower, The Tempest, any Mark Twain, T.S. Eliot and W.B. Yeats poetry, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Seven Storey Mountain, No Man is an Island, and Mystics and Zen Masters by Thomas Merton, Catch 22, and City of Truth. Currently reading: "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

I am also glancing at the writings of St. John of the Cross, the Bible, and my Buddhist Bible. Gotta keep my mind entertained, right?

If you read anything, read "Parable of the Sower." It's just a great, prophetic look at the future. Somewhat scary, but not far-fetched like 1984 or Brave New World. In fact, it is eerily real.

Movies: I love Westerns. Here are some examples of my favorite movies in general: Kill Bill, Life is Beautiful, Sin City, The Man with No Name Trilogy, Yojimbo, The Star Wars Trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Braveheart, 12 Monkeys, Bowling for Columbine, Boondock Saints, The Departed, Batman Begins, Any Monty Python, Gran Torino, and Gangs of New York. Also, go out of your way to find and see "Bubba-Hotep."

TV: I try to catch Heroes, Burn Notice, and House. When I have time, I watch South Park, Family Guy, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I loved Deadwood, and have all three seasons on DVD. I miss Saturday Morning Cartoons... too bad they suck nowadays. I also adore Firefly, but I only discovered it after it was cancelled. PS: Anyone remember Gargoyles?

Music: Johnny Cash (To paraphrase Bono: "Every man knows he's a sissy compared to Johnny Cash"), Metallica, Queens of the Stone Age, The Rolling Stones, Billy Joel, Flogging Molly. I pretty much love Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Irish music, and a little bit of Country. My favorite songs are Sympathy for the Devil by the Stones, and Cash's cover of The Mercy Seat.

Food: Hibachi, Chocolate, and Beer. Particularly Belgian Beer. Or Smithwicks.

Food, air, water, shelter, clothing, and a toothbrush.

I'm a minimalist. And I detest bad breath.

Why OK Cupid thinks I am less scientific. Not sure what empirical evidence they are drawing on to make that conclusion. I don't recall taking a science test when I signed up for this thing. There were a lot of Math and Logic questions though, as you might guess by my "more mathematical" award. What a weird Geocentric Universe we live in...

...Oh! And "Legends of the Hidden Temple." Never could figure out how Olmec and those temple guards got away with molesting kids on TV. Quite the conundrum.

Other than those two things... well... everything. And no, that's not a cop out. If I haven't thought of something, it's just that I haven't gotten to it yet.

Out at the bar, with friends. I'm a fan of bars, particularly bars with large varieties of imported beer. I'm a beer snob.

That being said, I have cut down on the drinking. It's only for special occasions nowadays. Better on my liver and my wallet.

Other than that you can find me shooting pool, at the movies, out to dinner, or doing SOMETHING. I like to go out on the weekends.

I wet the bed.

Also, I find it hard to admit anything sincere publicly. Can you tell?

You're laid back, up for a good time, and can understand sarcasm. A thick skin doesn't hurt. Brains are a must. Relative emotional stability is a plus. Opinions of your own are required, though don't expect me to agree with them. And uuummm... patience. Yeah, lots of patience.

And no, I would never ask of someone else what I would not expect of myself. In fact, I ask for far less.
