Equal parts still birth, breach birth and all around mistake, Brandon Curtis is the kind of guy you meet and endear yourself to through the most bizarre of circumstances; indeed, most of his friendships stem from the annual "be kind to dumb animals" week.
Curtis is a struggling college student, who boasts sixteen credit hours in a year and a half of study. Don't worry, he can spell-he just can't add, but you really don't need all that math crap, anyhow. During his semester in limbo Curtis took on the daunting task of babysitting his younger brother, Alex, who is often left to his own devices, resulting in Kool-Aid messes and cheeseburger dreams.
Brandon also stuns many with his shockingly bad taste in films. There is no point arguing with him because the review is the only defense he needs. Someday in the future Curtis wants to be a paid film critic (the only job he would truly love, though he's happy to do it for free at CultureDose). Even better would be the ability to pass his days watching movies, only stressing over how badly overworked his thumb is from pushing all those remote control buttons.
He would also like to marry Cecilia Cheung if that is possible or have a Vietnamese mail order bride shipped to him by accident.
As you can tell, ambition and "can-do" spirit are not his selling points, but aimlessness and a refreshing lack of pretension make Brandon Curtis one of the most interesting anomalies ever to grace a webpage.
