The Front Entrance

Greetings and welcome to All Things Brian!

I know why you’re here: You felt it, didn’t you? – That great cosmic ripple of energy as the matter in the universe aligned to celebrate my birthday. Number 37, to be precise. It was a grand and glorious September 29 in 1974, and it is a day that has never been equaled since. Well, it has been equaled every successive September 29 since then, but you know what I mean. It’s truly humbling.

So here you are, at the hub of my vast online presence, the Grand Central Terminal from which you can reach the various blogs, websites, and social networking pages that I have created and crafted over the past few years, turning myself into a jaw-dropping internet phenomenon. Please browse freely.

You can start right here, at the blog that is the cornerstone of my media personality, my great big journal of anything and everything that happens to be on my mind, with every entry being a golden nugget of inspiration. Then there are four other blogs at this time (though there is no knowing when a magnificent new brainchild from my fertile neurons will come forth) that I plan to pack so full of juicy tidbits that people won’t be able to stop reading them over and over, checking in daily for fascinating new pearls of wisdom.

Over on the right, you can scroll down to see a section labeled “Me, Me, Me!” (I’m not sure who hacked into my blog and made me look so pretentious, but it’s too late now.) As I write this, it contains links to my Facebook and YouTube pages, along with my listing in the Internet Movie Database, my business website that you are encouraged to refer to anyone in the Central Oregon region needing video production services, and links regarding my newfound interest in improving my health and figure. (There are those who insist my figure is beyond improvement, but they speak idle flattery, I’m sure.) Other links may come and go during the life of this blog – though if I add much more to the list of sites I personally maintain, I won’t have a life outside of the internet at all, which will disappoint the long line of admirers gathered outside my door even now.

On down the sidebar you’ll find links to sites where I am a contributor, as well as blogs and sites of good friends. Depending on your own religious or political positions, you may want to tread with care: Not all of my friends think like I do, the poor misguided fools that they are.

Then you’ll find a list of movies and books that people who want to be as wonderful as me should see and read, respectively. The movies are linked to their full information at IMDB, but there is, sadly, no book repository to link to the literary works.

Next are three options for making sure you don’t miss a single riveting word posted to this blog: You can “follow” this blog from your own Blogger account, or connect to the RSS feed. And if nothing else, you can browse back through the archived posts to relive your favorite moments, which will no doubt be too numerous to list. The sidebar concludes with an index of topics so that you can instantly see all the posts related to your favorite subject, which, I assume, will be all of them anyway so I’m not sure why I included that feature.

And there you have it. Start browsing. Soak it all in. And be sure to come back here often.

Because I’m just that central to your existence.
