Hello. Dr. Odd here.I met Sean (we used to call him Doby) back in high school and he was the lead singer of our high school band. He was the only person in our band back then that had talent. He is a real friendly and fun guy. I don't hang out with him much anymore but we do stay in touch on the email. You can drop him a line here. Sean O'brien

What is the 1st thing you want to do when you get home from work or when you wake up on the weekends?

When I get home from work I usually change my clothes and eat dinner. On the weekends I usually smoke a cigarette and hit the john.

Who would you like to pattern yourself after?

My father. We are constantly being compared to each other in appearance. I just wish that I had more of a dedicated work ethic like him.

What is your favorite vacation spot?

Hawaii or Japan

If you could get paid the same amount of $ as your current job and do anything, what would it be?

Touring Musician or a personal chef.

If you found $200 in the trash and you had to spend it that day, what would you do with it?

Throw in another $100 and buy an IPod

What kind of music you like the most and why?

Indie Rock. I can't stand anything on popular radio besides talk shows. Indie rock and punk rock have provided me with the majority of my friends and introduced me to people as well as life lessons that I will never forget. The music is more than something to listen to, it's provided me with a community of great peers that I respect.

Who have you been most influenced by and why?

My family and friends. Because someone from either group is always around me. I can't pick one person because I learn something new from each new person I meet.

What makes you cry?

Coming face to face with someone else's pain and suffering. I can watch movies or the news or read the paper and hear and see pain and suffering and not really be affected but when I am standing in the midst of someone's suffering I can't help but feel for them.

What is your favorite town or state in the united states?

Chicago. It has everything, great music, great restaurants, and a great lake.

What do you usually eat for dinner?

I eat a variety of things for dinner. I love to cook and I love food, so I can't eat the same thing two days in a row. You name it I've probably eaten it and probably even attempted to cook it.

What is your favorite website?

HeyMercedes.com. It's my one stop shop to keep up on everything that is going on in the indie rock world. Also Bob makes me laugh and even think sometimes. DrOdd falls in a close second though (right Drew, can I have my $10 now, haha)

If you had to hear 1 album for the rest of your life what would it be?

The Jam - In The City. It's a classic. If you think you haven't heard it, listen to it, I bet you'll recognize something.

What do you do for $?

Customer Service/Technical Support for NEC Solutions. I provide service for multimedia projectors and large plasma monitors.

What do you find attractive in the opposite sex?

A sense of humor. I can tend to push people's buttons sometimes but if you know me, you know not to take me too seriously. Physically, I would have to say eyes and then legs. Really that doesn't matter though, because we all look the same in the dark right?

Dogs or cats?

Dogs definitely. I have extremely bad allergies to cats and I really don't like the claws.

What is the one thing people say about you the most?

Did you hear what Sean did last night? Really I'm not sure, hopefully they would say, "Man that Sean is great guy, and damn he makes me laugh"

Alias, Family Business on Showtime, A Chef's Tour and Alton Brown on the Food Network.

Drinking and smoking cigarettes definitely. I really don't hide those very often. Otherwise I plead the 5th.
