Nathan aka MR. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you let your own light shine, you unconsciously give others permission to do the same. - Nelson

About Me

Hey what's up my name is Nathan. I'm the outgoing type that will have you laughing ASAP. I'm cool and real down to earth, and I'm not one of those crazy people you see ruining a good time. I'm the type that gets the party or the club crunk and I don't stop till the sun comes up. I also like to chill and kick back of course with peeps. I'm the type that just has random thoughts and comes up with random things, and in many cases as I mentioned above, I will have you laughing ASAP. I love to talk knowledge and have in depth conversations as well but I don't believe in boring peeps.
Before you read on, here are some quotes to live by:
