I'm Nicholas Butler. My friends call me Nic.
You may call me Sir.
It is once again time to revise this masturbatory section of my profile for your viewing pleasure. But, really, what is there to say that isn't self explanatory?
I'm a full-time student, and as such am constantly stressed due to grades and money. It's a shame that the latter depends on the former so often. I attend the University of Nevada - Las Vegas, and despite its mascot being a god damned redneck, I'd much rather go here than to Reno.
Reno makes me want to kill myself. Boulder City does little for me, though.
I spend entirely too much time doing absolutely nothing productive. I work out, I play video games, and I read. Gaiman and Lovecraft are my favorite authors, though Dune is masterpiece and should be required reading. I find Harry Potter to be in poor taste, as it's pure dribble. Hackneyed use of archetypes with a bespectacled youth slapped on to make it "original." Boy, I really hate it.
It seems obligatory in these to mention that I love music. This is true. The kinds of music I like may usually be broken down into three categories:
1) Progressive: I enjoy anything that does something new, and does it well. Gogol Bordello, tUB rING, Bubblemath, these bands all do something to ensure that music is not a dead and stagnant art form and is, as the namesake implies, progressing.
2) Classic Rock: I enjoy music that came from an age in which musicians cared about music.
3) Metal: Thrash, speed, progressive, death, black; I love it all. The rampant energy, the brutality, and the musicianship all make for excellent listening.
But mostly, I love my girlfriend, Desiree. She is the light and the love of my life, and without her, colors wouldn't be as vibrant and food would have no taste. She is my everything, and I love her dearly.
