… is the personal site of Brendan A. Metzger — replete with tripe and hearsay.

Now would a good time to use a few bars and explain my disposition, as I am worried that I might come across as a tad aloof.

Generally, I'm a quiet and focused person, which, juxtaposed with some latent cynicism, might cast me as a hard-liner. I beseech you, this is not 100% truth; I enjoy throwing down some good banter and hard-lining. In fact, I love chatting about, and even pointing out, all sorts of bullshit. It is an odd combo that when faced with chores I turn into a noiseless droid, but while catching some repose, I'd rather not take anything too seriously (unless I'm drunk and opining about things I don't fully comprehend). Alas, the real point of mentioning my disposition is to attempt a few reparations. You see, this site wasn't always a repository of frivilous thought…

It all began when I graduated from Columbia College in 2007 with a degree in Interactive Art & Media (Computer Wizardry). The week before my graduation, I registered this domain and set up my first (and only) portfolio. It was done pretty quickly, and I was never all that proud of my conception.

Luckily, I had a few good projects to show, and I landed myself a job forthright. The kicker is that for some reason I had set up a new email account to be used in conjunction with said portfolio. This was an obvious mistake, as in my holy fuck, I have to go to work everyday jitters, I completely forgot about it. That's right, nary a check I made. The extra stupid thing was that I had listed it in my portfolio as my contact!

Anyway, zoom to mid ‘09 and I finally decide to make something of this url. Digging around I stumbled on the old mail account. To my horror I see about 30 kindly worded, personal inquiries for work, interviews, meet-ups, etc. I never responded to one of these – I feel like the über chode. So, to all those who emailed me from 2007—2008 (when I had the portfolio up), my sincerest apologies. I hope to make amends someday, but in the meantime I will try to regale you with some jocular prose, some less-than-witty projects, and every now and then, some inconsequential rants.
