1. Five nicknames you've had:
   
   
   • Brodskins
   • Brodatron
   • Broble
   • Brod
   • The school kids in the West Hamilton Strings just call me "Big Guy"
   
   
   
2. Five books you've read recently:
   
   
   • Blue Heaven - Joe Keenan
   • Fodor: Language, Mind and Philosophy - M. J. Cain
   • A History of God - Karen Armstrong
   • The Grapes of Wrath - Steinbeck
   • Designing Visual Interfaces - Mullet, Sano
   
   
   
3. Five quirky facts about you:
   
   
   • I read absolutely everything that comes into my mailbox. It's a habbit I picked up when I was a kid and we didn't have cable TV.
   • I snap, clap and tap to the beat whenever I hear a song I like, it's a musician thing I figure.
   • I can't stand coffee made with chlorinated water. I can seriously taste it. I can cope outta necessity though.
   • I require blankets over my shoulders to sleep soundly. I think it's a sign of an over attentive mother or something.
   • When I'm nervous I sometimes suck my thumb. I can admit it dammit!
   
   
   
4. Five people who have influenced your life:
   
   
   • Kosha Braun.
     
     She taught me to let out the music inside of me.
     
     
   • Ilona Spleit
     
     She taught me how to make that music sound good.
     
     
   • David Pishke
     
     For helping me to embrace my sexuality in an adult way while still having fun. I'm sure without him I'd be a lot less mature about things. Others have of course helped but he's been there since the beginning, nearly three years ago(?)
     
     
   • Uncle Marcus
     
     He teached me how to be a snooty and pretentious intellectual. What can I say, he's english from South Africa! But there's great value to these finer points in life. Stuff like antiques, gardens, wine and heritage.
     
     
   • Uncle Ben
     
     Like from Spiderman only cooler. He's the guy where I get any ideas of "beardom" from. The man is utterly connected to his physical environment and I swear he can communicate with his dogs telepathically. Masculine, commanding but also compassionate and intelligent.
   
   
   
5. Five things to which you're looking forward:
   
   
   • Graduating and moving out of home. It's been greatly delayed already but I'm getting closer and I feel I'm going to leave home an adult rather than a child having learnt lots of life's harder lessons in a safer way.
   • Finding love. I'm just a mushy romantic under the calloused exterior.
   • Performing my own music.
   • Doing what I love for a living.
   • Partying at my friend Jeff's 21st this weekend

I'd love to hear your music sometime.

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

I'd love to play some for you!

It comes in two variaties though: some mildly danceable/ambient electronica or an in-person gig with the viola.

[lfkbear.livejournal.com]

Oooo... I vote for the viola.

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

My goal is to use the two together and make something really beautiful. I've experimented but I need more musicians to play with.

I can't stand coffee made with chlorinated water. I can seriously taste it. I can cope outta necessity though.

how often do you make coffee with swimming pool water anyway?

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

Dude, it's Hamilton.

When I'm nervous I sometimes suck my thumb. I can admit it dammit!
i sucked my thumb every night for a very long time...don't know how i stopped, but it happened, prolly around 3rd or 4th grade, i'm guessing...hooray for oral fixations!

why do i get the idea you're not talking about the dude on the boxes of microwave rice? :)

that is all for now, i guess...oh, and i dig the "angry/crapping" icon

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

No, nothing to do with the rice ;)

that is all for now, i guess...oh, and i dig the "angry/crapping" icon

Thanks, I was gabbing with my brother and he was all "look angry!" and pointed the camera at me. There's also one for sassy and lhama with I promptly deleted.
