About Me



My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Oh. And the OTHER Yin Yang Twin. You know, the one with the funny hand.

And I'm ALWAYS in need of some good Wingmen.

Music:

Gareth Asher~ "Bathe Me in Failure" from his upcoming CD. This song make me feel like sexytime.

I absolutely LOVE music... I mean EVERYTHING!!! My iPod is a bucket o' surprises. Anything from Sinatra to Joe Firstman to Ryan Adams to country to cheesy 80's music. Hold the metal and ghetto rap...I like to read, mostly non-fiction and classic lit, but I'm not into getting together over coffee and discussing what Faulkner was thinking as he wrote "As I lay Dying"... I don't need coffee and a turtleneck to make me feel smart.I also (would) love to travel the world...

Joe Purdy, Frank Sinatra, Ray Lamontagne, The Killers, Garth Brooks, Jeff Buckley, Ryan Adams, Joe Firstman, Coldplay, Modest Mouse, The Shins, Oasis, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Damien Rice, IllBreak, Steve Miller, Norah Jones, Sigur Ros, Elvis Presley, Remy Zero, Harry Connick Jr., Natalie Merchant, Blue Merle, Otis Redding,The Rolling Stones, R. Kelly, The Strokes, Jewel, Marc Broussard, Loretta Lynn, The White Stripes, Johnny Cash, Keane, John Legend, Jodeci, David Gray, Chris Issak, Bob Seger, Nick Drake and any other person that would get me jacked if I were to ever drive through the "'hood" whilst jamming it on my kickin' car stereo...

Ninja Nick in full effect.

Movies:

Anything that is well written with a good soundtrack will entertain me, but some movies inspire me. Movies like Garden State, Moonlight Mile, Good Will Hunting, Vanilla Sky, Nobody's Fool, Walk the Line, A River Runs Through It, Bagger Vance, Fight Club, Swingers, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Alfie and Big Fish are a few of my faves... OH!!! I also am a sucker for cheesy Christmas movies and Hallmark Hall of Fame movies. I know. I'm sensitive.

Television:

I'm addicted to the Amazing Race. Seriously... like I need to go to a group. I also love the little known series "Ed" that ran for awhile. I try to catch Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy, and I also LOVE Ken Burns Civil War documentary and CBS Sunday Morning.

Books:

Right now I'm revisiting Kerouac's "On The Road". Always a good read. I'm thinking of writing a novel just as good...

Heroes:

ME*.

*As sad as it is, I don't really have any heroes. I can look at someone's life and wish to be like them... but I'd never want to BE THEM. If I were them, well then I wouldn't be here... and that would just cancel out that I ever was here, therefore erasing everything that I lacked and wanted to gain by examining and overtaking said "hero's" life. And then if I WERE my "hero," I'd have everything I ever wanted and would think of myself as perfect, and that would lead to my friends calling me "cocky" and accuse me of being a "self righteous PRICK." So I would then go to a bar where I would see the present day me, who never (okay...rarely) is called such horrible things, and the present day me would then become my "hero's" hero. So I guess I do have a "hero." Me. Well, I guess I'll put "ME" then...

The Tao of Pat Benatar

So, as they say: "Love is a battlefield". Hmph. I guess that solves it. Pat Benatar is who everyone is talking about when they say "they say". Weird. I guess that lady talks a whole lot. Anyhoo~ Lov...

Nick Tapp. Version 3.0

And so on August 18th of this year, I'll be turning 30 (save the date on your calendar, it's gonna be HUGE). While some people may say that age is nothing more than a number, I disagree. When you chan...

And sometimes things just become clear...THIS is where I'm supposed to be

So I used to watch "A Wedding Story" a lot, but ONLY when there were no sports on, and I had just gone hunting and raced sportscars. And for some reason, one of the stories has stuck in my head all th...

In case you've ever wondered what "the final straw" looked like, here ya go.

We've grown up hearing clichés. We've also heard the clichés are clichés for a reason. These little tidbits of knowledge are formed, spread, and then passed down from generation to generation because ...

Like a Hallmark Commercial during "Dumb and Dumber"

Life has a funny way of just... happening.   It's like a Hallmark commercial that catches you off guard in the advertisement break of "Dumb and Dumber", causing a moment of sincere sentiment whe...

The Haircut Theory

As I grow older, the years seem to pass by faster and faster. It's not like I didn't expect it. My parents have warned me of this phenomenon since I was the cute turtle-necked kid in the picture, but...

Why do I...???

As far as people go, I'm a pretty well adjusted lad. Even keeled. Or least I THINK I am... I don't judge people, I accept all as they come, and only allow judgements be decided after I've had the chan...

And the street sign read "Next Exit: Destiny"

Decisions, decisions, decisions.   Much like an intelligent real estate purchase is predicated on "location, location, location", so our lives are predicated on decisions, decisions, decisions. S...
