I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm Nick. I like listening to metal. A lot. I like beer. REAL beer, not seltzery piss beer. I like funny things. My girlfriend Shannon is better than anyone. My friends are better than other people's friends. Chances are I'd own your soul in Simpsons trivia. I make coffee.

My Interests

My favorite things to do are to spend time with my girlfriend, spend time with my friends, spend time outside, go to concerts, eat pizza, drink beer, watch comedy. I love craft beer and could talk about it all day - I wish I could drink it all day, but it's expensive and I get full too easily. My favorite music is metal, of all types, especially wizardly/vikingly European types of metal. I really like the Simpsons a LOT and could go into very deep discussions about the show.

I'd like to meet:

Fellow metal-enthusiasts and metal musicians, fellow craft beer-enthusiasts, fellow Simpsons fans. People who have similar beliefs to mine. People who I knew once but haven't seen in a long time - it's always awesome to catch up with people from my past. However, I don't want to add people whose profiles have SO MUCH SHIT ON THEM, that my computer almost explodes when I try to view their profile... I HAVE DSL GOD DAMMIT! THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN! And you might not want to add me if you're a Bush-supporter, and you might want to be fair-warned if you're a very religious person... you'll probably find some of my beliefs to be somewhat offensive.But yeah, waddup.
What metal band are you?
Opeth
You are Opeth! You are very poetic with your lyrics, and your music flows like a waterfall. Your emotions change from angry to sad very quickly. Some people don't like you because you can sound too depressing. You're one of the best metal bands in the world, and you worship your fans!

I like comedies and paranormal/psychological movies and stuff. If it's funny, or it makes me go "whooooa" afterwards, I'll like it. No dramatic sad movies about real life experiences and all that bullshit though. Seriously, why would anyone find that interesting or entertaining?

Television:

Simpsons and Futurama mostly (Matt Groening = king of cartoon satire), non-recent Family Guy, stand-up comedy, Daily Show (Jon Stewart is a cool freakin guy), Colbert Report, Comedy Central Roasts, cooking shows (particularly anything with Mario Batali or Bobby Flay)

Heroes:

I don't think I have heroes. I look up to some people's aspects (like my favorite musicians' abilities and musical visions), but everyone has flaws.

Beer Laws Make Me Unpatriotic

I might look real different soon...

I think I'm gonna cut my hair. Not like real short, but not long anymore either. So, for the ladies who liked it (all 2 or 3 of you), I'm very sorry. And to everyone else on earth, hopefully you'll...
