My Friends Say I'm Money

..with THIS you don't know how to kill the bunny..

About Me

This is what i'm all about:

Hi. My name is Nick. I live in Fremont, CA. I go to Ohlone Community College and have been, for, oh, ever. I used to work at the video store. And i used to work at the mall. Now i work at Starbucks. But i actually drive past... 6 Starbucks to get to work. But its worth it, i love it there. I play the trombone. I love playing the trombone and play it every chance i get. I also play the trumpet. And the air guitar. And a little piano. And saxophone sometimes. And percussion. I like music. A lot. Almost as much as my family. But maybe more than my friends. No, nevermind, i have an amazing girlfriend, Glory, and i have some pretty cool friends. Just see the 20 people down there. Well, 19, one of them is a band. My band actually. Minus Vince. You should check them out too. We broke up a while ago, but a movie is being made of our last performance. You should check that out too.

My Interests

Lets see i like music, umpiring little league baseball, music, music, music, music, music, music, music, college football (GO BEARS!!), music, music, music, music, music, music, music, baseball (GO GIANTS, and A's sometimes if i'm chillin with my homies), music, music, music, music, music, and music.

I'd like to meet:

the Red Stripe guy... Hooray Beer!
I like meeting people. The best part about playing in a band was meeting people. Anybody with any kind of substance that has something to offer somebody else. Which could be pretty much anybody.But i'd really really like to meet this band:

Music:

!!SKA'D FOR LIFE!! RX Bandits, Mad Caddies, Less Than Jake, Spring Heeled Jack, Five Iron Frenzy, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, Slapstick, Suburban Legends, Forces of Evil, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Issue 10, Catch 22, Link 80, Blindspot, Hippos, Goldfinger, Codename: Rocky, Hebro, Jeffries Fan Club, ShitOuttaLuck, The Uptones, Chase Long Beach... But im very open minded.

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND!!! The Decemberists, 311, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cannonball, Eve 6, Fuel, Heiroglyphics, Incubus ("make yourself" and earlier), The Living End, The Lostprophets, John Mayer, A New Found Glory, NOFX, Pennywise, Pulley, Rise Against, Strung Out, Thrice, The Urge, The Vandals, Zebrahead, Chicago, Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Huey Lewis and the News, Bob Marley, The Police, The Rolling Stones, Tower of Power, Simon and Garfunkel, The Who, Maroon 5, Derivative, The Talking Heads, Tower Of Power, Say Anything, Facing New York, Normal Like You, Minus The Bear, Otis Redding, The Hanks, Postal Service, O.A.R., Wallpaper, Kneebody, Satori, The Doors, Something Corporate, Panic! At The Disco, Littlest Man Band, Desa, Finch, The Caesers, Paul Simon, Nickel Creek, Matisuahu, Wilson Pickett, Taking Back Sunday, Goldfish Don't Bounce, Sweater Club, Justin King, i can go on and on...

Movies:

SWINGERS!!! Almost Famous, Bull Durham, Boondock Saints, Dogtown and Z-Boys, Garden State, Grosse Pointe Blank, Hunt For Red October, I Heart Huckabess, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lord Of The Rings, Shaun of the Dead, SLC Punk, Office Space, Poolhall Junkies, Saved!, Snatch, the list goes on. I worked at a video store, so i saw a lot. Anything with Edward Norton and almost anything with Jason Lee (i didnt like A Guy Thing and Dreamcather was the worst movie i ever saw, but other than that, i love Jason Lee.) I like all the Kevin Smith movies, Rebel Without A Cause, It Happened One Night, Memento, That Thing You Do, Pulp Fiction, Van Wilder, Super Troopers, The Sting, Major League, American Beauty, Usual Suspects was sick but Link 80 ruined the end for me, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Brotherhood of the Wolf, All M. Night Shyamalan except for Unbreakable, Little Miss Sunshine, all those new comedies with Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrill and Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson and that whole gang, The Life Aquatic, Forrst Gump, O Brother Where Art Thou?, again, i can go on and on....

Television:

SPORTS NIGHT was the best show to ever be on television. It seems i watch most of my TV on DVD. I love Arrested Development and 24 and Lost. And I love The Office, but only the british version, and CSI, but not the shitty spinoffs. And i like The West Wing, cuz Aaron Sorkin (who also wrote Sports Night) is a freakin GENIUS! I like The Family Guy and Futurama. Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Daily Show. And the Amazing Race is actually good reality TV. House. Prison Break is tight but i gotta go back and watch season 2 on DVD. Oh, and i like Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, cuz, i dont know if you knew, i'm a big fan of Aaron Sorkin.

Books:

All 5 books of the Hitchhiker's Trilogy by Douglas Adams, Ordinary People by Judith Guest, Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, The Forever War by Joe Haldeman Thats about it. I dont read much, mostly because i don't know what books to read. I enjoy reading, but Stephen King and Michael Crichton and John Grisham dont count as actual reading. Harry Potter is a guilty pleasure, and i know its trendy but i liked the Da Vinci Code. And lately i've been reading the Complete Calvin & Hobbes. Does that count? I Think Calvin has a better vocabulary then John Grisham...

Heroes:

Rachelle Foronda... shes a life saver. well, shes never actually saved my life, but im sure if my life was on the line, she'd save it. but i do know shes a sanity saver. thank her for that! And also the rest of the Hollywood Video Home Boogies for being some freakin musketeers! Ya'll are rockstars and heros in my book.
