So, just how did you come up with "Fried Brainz"?
Fried Brainz is actually my DJ handle from college. During a local station's morning show the DJ wanted all song requesters to have a breakfast food name. Just about the time I would come up with a good one...someone else would take it. Finally I remembered that my great-grandmother enjoyed fried brains and tomatoes for breakfast. I used the handle again a couple years later when I went down and volunteered on the morning show. The DJ at the time was Jeff Z and he wanted to make sure I spelled my handle "properly", thus the spelling.
What about when you're not writing?
I have plenty of "off season" activities. Loving my wife, playing with my son, participating at church, working on the house...oh yeah, I have a day job as an engineer. I love camping with my family. I stay in shape with Judo, which I do with my son. (If you know Judo, my rank is Nikyu.)
Where do you live?
I live in a galaxy far, far away. I emigrated here from Texas. I even have a picture of it so you can identify it at night. (Unfortunately, "I'm from Ohio" is literary short-hand for "my back story is irrelevant". Thankfully, the Texas part is true.)
I enjoy music that gets me going in the morning, or any time of day.
Here's a few of my Spotify playlists.
My favorite band.
FunTitle says it all, songs that I think are fun to listen to.
WorkoutThis one is pretty driving. I don't recommend listening to it in the car unless you have cruise control on. :)
Why do people think Classical music is boring?
Once again, not boring.
These are mostly songs I remember listening to in the car with my dad. I've added a few more.
I was in college during the 90's Swing Revival. I tried Swing Dancing, I'll stick with just listening. :P
WaltzWaltzes are nice and upbeat without being driving.
So how do I relax? Simple, just turn the music off. zzzzzz
