Pandora's Children: About Me

Let's see... truth be told, I've had a relatively dull life. I was born on an army base in Georgia where I spent the first three years of my life.

I grew up in NJ then spent four years in New Orleans earning my degree in evolutionary biology. After experiencing my first Mardi Gras, I swore that I would get out of town the next three years. And I did. Mardi Gras is a freaking nightmare.

After undergrad, I returned to NJ for dental school. I moved around Northern Jersey during my four years. Lived in Newark my sophomore year in one of the nicer sections (no part of Newark is actually nice, only nicer in relative terms to the rest of the city). Now, when I lived in New Orleans, I parked by car in the deepest, darkest, dankest parts of the French Quarter and never had it broken into. After three months in Newark (the nicer part, mind you), someone stole my stereo I had proudly installed myself three years earlier. At least they had the decency to remove the plastic console to take the stereo out instead of cutting it out. Oh, and the following year, when living in Edison, NJ, I was woken up one Sunday morning at eight o'clock by two men in biohazard suits. Read more about this over at my blog, if you care to.

I currently live in southern Jersey with my wife, two children, and diabetic Daschund who has developed premature cataracts (a temperamental, partly blind dog and two young children don't mix very well).

I always felt that you can learn something about a person based on the CDs in their car. Well, right now I am listening to Disturbed's new album Asylum, Chevelles' newest album Sci-fi Crimes, Three Day's Grace latest Life Starts Now and Hollywood Undead.

Favorite TV? Big Bang Theory, Dexter, Modern Family, Lie to Me (the only show I need to use closed captioning on; Tim Roth is a bitch to understand!).

I love my Wii and DS, I still read comic books, and I have a fanatical devotion for The Phillies and The Eagles.

So there you are, folks, a portrait of Dr. Bradley Convissar.
