About Me

MyGen Profile Generator I work at a used bookstore. I used to go to school for apparel design, but I realized that if I had to do that for a living, I'd blow my head off. Right now, I'm just concentrating ..ing the childrens book I'm writing. I play bass. I'm the proud owner of Silver, the greatest cat ever invented. I also identify with music far more than is healthy for anyone. I like to pretend I'm smarter than I actually am and I really enjoy giving dirty looks to random people. If I don't say hello to you on the street or in the bar, it's not because I don't like you, it's probably cuz I'm worried that you'll think I'm just some random pest and won't wave back. I get along with most everybody, but if you don't like the WHO, you can kiss my ass. I also invented Scorpios, so you should probably bow to me. No, I don't just listen to metal so don't pester me about that. I've been into extreme metal since buying "To Mega Therion" in the '80's and fell permanently in love with black metal the 1st time I heard "A Blaze in the Northern Sky" in the early '90's. One thing you should know; I have no patience for weak minded spineless people who latch on to Black Metal to give their pathetic lives some sort of ego boost. Black Metal is not a crutch because you didn't get invited to the prom. You should also check out this site, I can't seem to get enough of it, it's the best source of Metal info on the net!!!: Encyclopaedia Metallum: the Metal Archives *****THIS IS WHERE I DO MOST OF MY METAL SHOPPING: displeasedrecords.com *****NICK PLAYS RICKENBACKER BASS EXCLUSIVELY!

My Interests

I'm in the middle of writing and illustrating a childrens book. Hopefully, I'll get it finished and published reasonably soon. I paint a lot and play bass a lot. Plus, cartoons and candy make me happy. No circus peanuts or Peeps, though.

I'd like to meet:

Punks, Skins, Rockers, Metalheads, etc.etc.,Oh yeah, and bands, take a good look at my page and think long and hard before you try to add me. You can see the stuff I'm into, so if you're some whiney emo/art/indie rock type of thing or some poppy bastardized version of punk, you might not want to waste both of our time. If your band is on Tooth and Nail Records and you try to add me, you better pray that I don't find out where you live. ..
