About Me

Heya, if you've gotten this far you probably know me. If not, I am Nate, quite possibly one of the most awesome people you can know. Seriously. Ask people, they will tell you! :DAnyway, I am what you would call an "Artist". A person who enjoys the fine arts. Music, literature, visual arts, the works. I mostly draw and play lots of guitar, and have a 5 and 4 years experience with both respectively, though my enjoyment from them is long rooted in my childhood.I've played in an assortment of local bands over the years, including Kilkriss/Me and My Killing Machine and Vortex of Corruption. I am currently in cahoots with The Immaculate Deception and a new unnamed band made out of the old VOC crew. Exciting stuff, ehh? I love metal music, and I like to refer to myself as "Far Beyond Metal" because of this. I also like lots of other music, including classical, Punk/Ska, Geek Rap, classic rock, alt rock, ambient, and basically anything featuring awesome musicians and great music.I also love workin' with IT stuff, y'know, computers, programming, hacking (its the Crackers that put viruses on you PC, not Hackers!)website creation and all that good stuff. I'm great at building/maintaining/setting up PCs and can probably help you out if you have problems. Have something you need installed? Forget Geek Squad. I'll do it for 10 bucks, and then make it run awesome.I'm pretty big into gaming and love the whole L337 culture, I love all sorts of games seeing as I grew up playing them all day through my summer breaks with my brothers and friends. I don't play them so much now unless I'm with my buds, but I still like to fire up the ol' Tetris and CS:S from time to time and hope to get my current gaming rig up to spec, I'm doing a pretty good job so far!I have many great and wonderful friends, all whom I would consider fellow brothers and sisters and treat them as such. Sure, there's rough times but they're there for me when I need them, and that's what counts. I wouldn't have it any other way.Okay, so I've given you pretty good overview of me. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask or hit me up on AIM [HamBungler170]. I have a deviantart site if you want to take a look at some artwork of mine, and I am an active member of Sevenstring.org which is awesome for those of you who are gear whores and extended range guitar fans like myself. Okay! Well, you guys have yourself a nice day! Thanks for the view.-Nate You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
