Humility is not seeing others as your superior; it is seeing no one as your inferior.

About Me

Do not go where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Hi. I'm Nic. I am a blood-bought child of the living God. I am a sinner who will make mistakes until I die, but I have been redeemed and have grace, and for that I am eternally thankful to Jesus Christ. My life is not about me. Instead I am merely an extension of God's endless glory shining for all to see.-----"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose."-----"The opposite of bravery is not cowardice but conformity."-----"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility, consider others better than yourselves." -Philippians 2:3-----"Character is made by what you stand for; Reputation by what you fall for."-----"The path to success is paved with failure."-----"Live each day to the fullest with the knowledge that if you survive today, you still have to live with yourself tomorrow." I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

I like praying, reading my Bible, reading, having discussions with people, ice skating, waterskiing/wakeboarding, snowboarding, swimming, my cat, hockey, soccer, physical activity in general, acting, ancient history, and writing poetry (thought it's not very good), and just for good measure we'll throw in drawing (Yes, I did just refer to myself in the third person plural.) .. ..

I'd like to meet:

Jesus Christ msprm name="wmode" value="tran

Music:

Mark Shultz, Linkin Park, Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Riddle, Evanescence, Kutless, Blink 182, HelloGoodbye, Fallout Boy, Story of the Year, Cloud2Ground, Pillar, Simple Plan, Breaking Benjamin, Angels and Airwaves, Lonestar, Rascall Flats, Relient K, Dashboard Confessional, Waking Ashland, Yellow Card, Thrice, Paramore, Saosin, 30 Seconds to Mars, Halfway to Nowhere, and Darth Vader's Theme.

Movies:

I like lots of movies, old movies especially. I wish more movies could be like the old movies. I love the Princess Bride.

Television:

Smallville. Criss Angel: Mindfreak. The History Channel.

Books:

Oh, gotta go with the classics on this one, and what's more classic than the Bible, Dracula, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, anything written by Edgar Allen Poe, The Lord of the Rings (including the Hobbit), The Chronicles of Narnia, Alice and Wonderland, Gone With the Wind, Through the Looking Glass, The Neverending Story, Interview with the Vampire, The Pilgrim's Progress, Corelli's Mandolin, Ender's Game, The Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poetry (trippy), The Great Gatsby, and all Shakespeare.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ. I think we can sum the rest up by saying all the people who have had an impact on my life. You may not know it, but many of you have saved the day for me on many occasions, and for that I thank you. As for fictional super heroes. There is a 4-way tie going on between Spiderman, Batman, Superman, and Spawn. They just win. End of story. I think that Spiderman and Superman are edging ahead, though.

Spite

Spite is bad. This I have learned, as always, the hard way. For starters, lasagna is the best food ever, and to top it off, my mom makes it better than anyone else. So she made it for dinner the other...

Man Vs. Turkey

Okay, so this morning, I went outside and there was a turkey sitting on the fence. I thought, "Huh. That's weird." This was just the beginning, though. As I proceeded to my car, I saw my nextdoor neig...

Reasons why gum is better than cigarettes

This is only applicable to Mint flavored gum. Bubble Gum and other flavors are bad.    1. Gum is cheaper. That is a significant reason by itself. (Gum=$1.29 for 20 sticks, Cigarettes=$4...
