It's about time this thing was updated, eh?

About Me

Welcome new friends and old...I'm Nick if you don't already know. I'm a pretty easy going and laid back guy, goofy and like having fun whether its playing some tackle uno :-) or partying and getting squishy :-). I work hard at a video game store, I live with 3 roomies in the shitty, I mean city, and TiVo should be worshipped in some way or another.

My Interests

I like so much...singing, acting like a fool (at the right time, anyway), filmmaking, video editing, video games, board games, cards...so, I guess I like having fun :-). Also enjoy hiking, camping, and rafting (most of the time...let's not forget the disaster a few years ago). I love to drive and just get away sometimes. I can find real peace in that. And, though it may be embarrassing to admit, I really like playing DDR. Yes, I love Dance Dance Revolution. I can't help it! It's amazing, addicting, and a freaking amazing cardio workout.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wants to meet me is fine by me. Other than that, I like to chilling out and having a good time. I have grown quite comfortable in my days of my workday, schoolwork, living room LAN parties, and late night TV. We do go out, but just not all the time. Staying in has its guilty pleasures as well. So hit me up, I'm not shy.

Which Grey's Anatomy Character Are You?


Isobel
You've got everything - work ethic, detirmination, skill and looks. But you'll never admit it! You have alot going for you, and it's all the talent you have that makes you capable of being so good. But in light of all your ability you still lack self confidence. Don't worry so much about proving yourself, you have everything it takes and all you need to do is believe in yourself to accomplish your dreams.

What Nostalgic Super Nintendo Game are you?


Super Metroid
You are Super Metroid. Isolated and thoughtful, your adventures give you plenty of time to reflect as you are likely the only sentient non-space-pirate life on the planet of your residence. I recommend backtracking often to uncover those pesky hidden secrets. Be calm and remember to freeze enemies to use them as jumping platforms...

Music:

I can appreciate most any musical endeavor...come look at the freaks :-). But my favorite band still remains 311...Houston, we have a problem :-).

Movies:

I am a filmmaker at heart, so movies are definitely a favorite past-time.

I guess my favorite comedy is either Half-Baked or Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

Horror we'll have to go with Scream (but not because I was scared...because I laughed the entire time) :-). Favorite suspense...I'm sure I'll change this selection all the time, but this very second its Final Destination...the first one...not any of the other retarded sequels. Romantic Comedy goes to My Best Friend's Wedding (I Say A Little Prayer for You, Cheryl) :-).

And Romance goes to The Notebook...I'm not ashamed to say that I bawled like a 10-year-old girl. Honorable mentions: Ghost Ship (only because of the first scene...that is awesome...if you haven't seen it, just watch that first few minutes, you'll be amazed) and The Net (a movie so bad its good) :-).

And let's not forget RHPS.

Television:

I'm all addicted to Grey's Anatomy, Weeds, and Lost. Thank goodness for TiVo!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel are also high on my list. I'm not really sure why...probably because I watched them both from start to finish and I don't usually do that with TV shows.
I also loved Dark Angel...only 2 seasons, and it ended on a cliffhanger. I hope they make a movie to finish it or something.
Futurama is the best animated series ever! And, its coming back next year brand new! (Does it taste Blue in here to anyone else?)
Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman (do you actually remember that show? Because I do...and even though its horrible...I love it. Probably because I was so young and again, watched that from start to finish).
The Critic is hilarious even though "it stinks" and Roseanne is the best show in the entire world, hands down.
And also, who can forget two cartoons that got me through my childhood...
Lastly: Drawn Together is amazing.

Books:

Something scary. Something thought provoking. Something that teaches you something...but not just a simple how-to. Inspiration goes a great distance. Recently rediscovered graphic novels and the Resident Evil and Halo novels. Check 'em out sometime, they rock.

Heroes:

Samus Aran, Mega Man, and Master Chief are my triumverant of fury.

Next would have to be Link, Heihachi, and Ayane. If you know who any of these are, I'm sure we'll get along great.

I'm sick of you.

Well, maybe not you.  But then again, maybe.  The "you" that I'm truly speaking of is this "thing" for lack of a better word that seems to follow me throughout relationships and friendships....
