Brad's Interests
General
I'm a big fan of quotes.
Here's a good one: "The English have Shakespeare, the Greeks have their myths, and America has Batman, Superman, and Mickey Mouse."
~Nic Cage
I'm also an avid Fantasy Sports participant. I usually have at least two teams going at any given moment. Baseball, Football, Here's one and, look! another or Hockey. The Hockey one's the best because it's a keeper. The Commish done a fantastic job over the first two years. Go Sharks!
Music
I get my fix from an eclectic mix:
Aerosmith- my first favorite band...still is
Stevie Ray Vauhgn- my only regret is that I discovered him post mortem
Metallica- I wonder how they would have been had Dave not been fired
Megadeth- then again I'm glad he was
Bob Seger- what can I say, I'm an old man at heart
The Eagles- ditto
Louis Armstrong- Satchmo is incomparable
Ella Fitzgerald- one of the best voices
No Doubt- and not just because of Gwen, well mostly not
Kid Rock- sometimes you just need raw emotion
Vivialdi- the four seasons always relaxes me
Beethoven- opened the classical door for me
Bon Jovi- yeah I'm a fan of hair bands
Eric Clapton- he just may be God
Movies
My Movies Tastes
Any Kevin Smith Flick, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars/Trek (hey I'm a geek but chicken heads taste good, damnit!), Tombstone, Blues Brothers, most Harrison Ford movies, Waynes World, The Waterboy, Clue, Bill & Ted, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Untouchables, The Usual Suspects, Good Will Hunting, LA Confidential, The Incredibles, The Princess Bride, The 6th Sense,
ok that's enough....
Television
Boob Tubery
The problem with TV, besides the reality TV craze, is that my attention span is too long. So aside from the game, I tend to stay away from TV. Unless I'm tired and don't feel like thinking. So when I surf my stops include:
That 70's Show
Friends
Cheap Seats (without Ron Parker)
Mythbusters
Family Guy
The Simpsons
Teen Titans
Be the Creature
My Name is Earle
Even a little bit of the WWE...although it's just not as good as it was with the F.
And when TV Land decides to play them:
The A-Team
MacGuyver
'Cause I miss my old roomies I also watch (whenever I find them):
Monster House
American Chopper
MXC
Books
Certains de mes auteurs préférés
Oh man, this could get Real out of hand so I'll just list some authors:
Tolkien

Mercedes Lackey
Kipling
Heinlen
Shakespeare (there was a reason I was an English major)
Grafton
Asimov
some Grisham
Poe
Cummings

some Hemmingway

I even have an pretty extensive comic collection, though I don't collect any more (can't afford it)
Wordsworth
Tennyson
Wilde
Robert Harris
Dave Barry
Yes, even Rowling
Ok, ok, ok that's enough...I told you it would get carried away.
About me:
I like black coffee, pineapple pizza, and apple pie.
I was born Baptist, went to Catholic schools, and became Buddhist.
I write when I can, read incessantly, and have an odd habit of thinking for myself.
Feel free to drop me a line, my Screen name is thphoenixe. It doesn't matter which medium you use AIM, Y!, or MSN: I've got 'em all.
Who I'd like to meet:
Think about it: have you ever seen this man frown?
May not be the best of all-time but he stopped the Habs in the playoffs!
Does anyone write dialog better than him?
I'm not one to do these frivolous quizzes, but this one was eerily accurate.
This is what I'm saying so how could we be the same... especially when one of the questions was where would you like to go on a date and the library was an answer.... I know only one of us would pick that and I call "not it" :)
i will know what my new permanent schedule will be starting in march so i am pretty sure the first couple of weeks in march we can try and grab a drink or 3
hey sorry i haven't gotten back to you at all they have changed my schedule around so i am pretty much working everyday i swear we will get a drink sometime soon
saw your comment on carri's profile, about bergie! I dont think he was underated, he got a huge deal in the off season. 5 years 25mi, i think he is just coming into his own this season!!
Hey I know huh! We actually won a shootout! Obviously I did not get Bruins tox for tonite...all the cheap seats were sold out. But I did get a 4 pack for Josh's Bday on 12/9 vs NJ. You in?!?!
ha. remember to breathe! Hey did you get to see Lord Stanley?!?! I went to TO last may and got to touch the cup in the HHoF!! Actually wait....it's somewhere in Carolina.... nevermind! :o)
Donna was the assistant manager at the Woburn store that had and insanely tragic life...and she was nice in a way that made it inappropriate to make fun of her if front of Sean.
It's true. I almost pissed my pants. I thought he would have to croak to get him out of there. But let's not get ahead of ourselves....he's still an "advisor."
DOOOD! You should see the bathroom! It's ripped to fucking shreds! It's been like that for a week now. We've dug a trench in the backyard for, well, you know. It ain't pretty. I'm gonna take some pictures, of the bathroom not the trench, and send em to ya.
"If you look at me with no shirt, if I'm taking steroids then I should change the guy that's selling them to me because it's not working, " Theodore said
SURELY BISCUIT!!!! I made my own team on NHL 06, The Boston WICKED! .... yeah best name ever!
With the wailer colored jersey's, and angry tornado's on as the logo. Yeah I am awesome!
Yeah if the Sharks play LA... San Jose is about 5 hours away from here. Basically O'Connell is saying the team sucks and we have not shot so we might as well just pretend this is training camp and fuck around with the line up... GREAT! At least I am not there to witness the collapse.
