CALL ME BIFF

death from above 1982...

About Me

my name is nick, but you can call me biff. i like my friends a lot and wish i spent more time with them. i like writing sketches and filming them, because it is probably the most time i get to spend with my friends. i wish i was less grown up and more care free, because being TOO grown up is kinda depressing. i love new york and would never want to live anywhere but long island long term. i am a big fan of my godson weston because he is an awesome kid and he totally got me with the ice cream trick. i am like george costanza in that i am more afraid of success than i am of failure. i want to make a living out of comedy. i wish there were more hours in the day to successfully live my 2 lives. sometimes i like to be recognized, but probably more of the time, i just like fading into the background and being part of something bigger than just one person. i'm the type of person that has an idea of how he wants thing to be and likes to work behind the scenes and get them done. if i could make enough money out of writing/acting/producing to buy a house, then i would have no problem living a relatively normal life and working every day. i have my own issues and i try not to bother other people with them. i guess that's another reason why i come around in waves, but whether i'm around a lot or spending more time by myself or with my family, i want my friends to know that i love them to death and it really does bother me that i don't get to spend more time with them. i would really like to do something kinda important before i die, so i feel like i was worth having around. i wanna live my life on my terms and though it will probably never happen, i'd like to climb the george washington bridge or the verrazano. i dunno, any bridge in greater new york would be okay really. i'd really love to see that view and shoot it with a camera...SPOON - "The Underdog"THE FLAMING LIPS- "The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song"TED LEO/PHARMACISTS- "Me and Mia" (Live in Philly)
