Josh Nation

A kiss is not a contract, but it's very nice.

About Me

First and foremost, I am a Christian. I pretty much like baseball, hotdogs, applepie, and chevrolet. Just kidding. But seriously, I do. And no, my most favoritest song ever in the whole wide world is not "Walk Away"...it's "Fergalicious." ("Walk Away" is second.) MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

I have a wide variety of interests, to say the least. I love alternative rock and action films, but I also enjoy a book that is still perplexing the second time. I love to skateboard, but I'm definitely not above a nice game of golf. My favorite subjects are math and writing. I have a terrible time sticking to one stereotype! If you see me wearing a Hard Rock Cafe shirt one day and a baby blue polo the next, do not be surprised!

I'd like to meet:

Definitely foreign chicks...or chicks from the U.S. Either one will work.

Who I've met:
Numbers one and two on this list are The Vincent Black Shadow and Paramore--both gave some amazing shows on Warped Tour this year. Paramore was up for autographs, and TVBS was even able to hang out afterwards. Next is Justin Pierre, the lead singer of Motion City Sountrack. His band's performance on stage during mtvU's campus invasion tour was nothing less than cd quality, and he was just as cool after the show.

Drop me a line!

Show me some love!

Music:

I do love some Fall Out Boy, and they put on an excellent show in Cincinnati this summer (just in case you're wondering). Some other great bands are Panic! At The Disco, The Academy Is..., Relient K, Taking Back Sunday, The Vincent Black Shadow, Paramore, The Rasmus, The Hush Sound, Thousand Foot Krutch, Motion City Soundtrack, Cartel, Hinder, FM Static, Falling Up, Maroon 5, Tenacious D, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Hawk Nelson, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lifehouse, Kutless, Default, Foo Fighters, The Ataris, AFI, The Fray, Matisyahu, Hellogoodbye, The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, Linkin Park, The Beatles, StraylightRun, The Rolling Stones, Creed, Alter Bridge, 3 Doors Down, Nickleback, Green Day, 3 Days Grace, HIM, Flight of the Concordes, Bloc Party, The White Stripes, Underoath, The Used, My Chemical Romance, Switchfoot, Skillet, Silverstein, Shinedown, Yellowcard, The Decemberists, Dashboard Confessional, The Transplants, Blink-182, Earshot, Matchbox Twenty (but not so much Rob Thomas), Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Kelly Clarkson, Seventh Time Down, and Michael Vanwinkle.
Sports I like sports of all kinds! My favorite is probably racquetball--I learned how to play this year and it totally rocks. I was also just introduced to golf, which I feel I'm becoming addicted to. I also like baseball (I played for nine years), football (I played for a couple years in middle school), and basketball, which is the perfect street sport. Finally, skateboarding definitely steals much of my time as well. While I'm not too special right now (I haven't skated very long), I do love it! It's best when you fly down a hill onto a bike ramp and off into some neighbors' yards! lol. I try to rock out on Tosh Townend's board as often as I can!

Movies:

V for Vendetta is hands down one of the best movies I have ever seen. Filled with intense action sequences, witty lines, and a plot characterized by unrelenting twists and turns, it definitely did not disappoint. I recommend it to everyone! One of my favorite comedies of all time is Anchorman! Some other great flicks are Mr. Brooks, Vanilla Sky, Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball, Hitch, Starsky and Hutch, Club Dread, Old School, Fun with Dick and Jane, Inside Man, The Hills Have Eyes, Aeon Flux, King Kong, The Matrix, Troy, Spiderman, The Departed, The Shawshank Redemption, The Graduate, The Lord of the Rings, and Fight Club.

Television:

My favorite TV series just happen to be LOST, The Office, and of course, That 70s Show.

Books:

My favorite book right now is The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien. It's a Vietnam novel that is absolutely jaw-dropping. I also pretty much dig The Lord of the Rings, the Inheritance trilogy (the Eragon books), and other fantasy stuff like that. C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity and The Great Divorce carry some clout for me philosophically. Both are phenomenal books that will refresh your perspective on Christianity. And, suprisingly, I actually enjoy some plays: Shakespeare's "Julius Ceasar" is probably my favorite, but I also really like Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire." And, of course, you cannot discount poetry/short stories by Edgar Allen Poe--The Masque of the Red Death is simply phenomenal.

Heroes:

Jesus, then the parents. Otherwise, my favorite is Batman.

Ode to Anniversaries

Some things are better with your eyes closed.

There are a few things that are better without vision. Here they are, from good to best: 3) Roller coasters. You're approaching the big drop. You glance over at the sign that reads, "Keep arms an...

The ease of being easy (and I'm NOT talking about you know what).

I am all about taking it easy. Why overexert yourself on matters that don't matter? Too many of my peeps get lost in the specifics instead of looking at the big picture. I am all for living in the mom...

My words are delicate, yet deliberate, probably devious, and never desperate.

I am creating a new short-term policy, one of honesty and truth. In the past, I have been very accustomed to sugarcoating my true opinions. I do not enjoy people stomping on my feelings...
