I am musical, comical, and laid-backical.
My Self-Summary
Uh.... Summary'd!
...
Dammit, it didn't work.
Anyway, I'm Nate. I work as a cook by night and musician by day,
though I am currently without band. I am working on that. I don't
know how to describe myself, which I'm sure you're ecstatic to hear
since no one on here seems to know how to, but I'll try my best.
I'm a laid-back kind of guy who stays rational and cool-headed in
every situation. I like playing video games in my off time, or
playing my drum set or guitar, and I'm usually always listening to
music. I love talking about music, I could go on for days, but I've
been told I'm easy to have a conversation with. I love making
people laugh, too. I'm more of a... face-to-face comedian as
opposed to an 'over-the-internet' kind of comedian (sorry to those
who say "MAKE ME LAUGH OR I HATE YOU" in their profile, I guess
inflection pays an important role in comedy). I'm working on
getting a tattoo and maybe some piercings, so don't judge against
me yet, I just haven't gotten around to getting it done. Uhm... I
tend to be attracted to more... scene(?) looking girls. I'm not
sure how you'd describe them. But tattoos and dyed hair and girls
you'd typically see at a punk/metal concert. Not sure why I find
them attractive the most, but that's me. Scroll down for more fun
facts and triva!
I had an account here before, but I deleted it because it was
outdated.
Also, a friend of mine on here is Omerta706. Check him out.
What I’m doing with my life
I worked as a line/grill chef at a award winning italian restaurant
after graduating culinary school, now I'm working at the Chatterbox
Pub (I like going everywhere and trying a bunch of different
stuff), and I hope to advance up to an executive chef position at
some point, maybe even go on Hell's Kitchen. That'd be awesome.
Otherwise, I drum and play guitar a lot... or listen to music... or
sing/scream music. I'd also like into learning how to brew my own
beer, since I think that there's so much you can do with
that.
I GOT KITTENS!!!! OH MY GOD THEY'RE SO CUTE!
I recently moved out into a new apartment with my brother. It's
amazing. Hells yeah for not living with parents anymore!
And when I'm not doing any of that, I'm still probably listening to
A Perfect Circle or Tool and just relaxing. Fantastic.
I’m really good at
Drumming, singing, screaming, guitaring, listening, kitty
attending, playing DnD, games, cooking, baking, ice cream making,
not quite candle-stick making, and just being there and reliable
I've been told.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm a dark-ish italian looking guy in a predominantly blond hair
blue eyed state. Though, most people think I'm mexican...
But honestly, it's usually that I'm really easy-going and that I
have a good sense of humour. I'm the kind of guy that doesn't pass
harsh judgment on others because I think people are entitled to do
whatever they want (within the realms of morality and for the most
part, legality. I could go more in depth, but you probably know
what I mean).
My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Pratchet, Eric Idle, cookbooks and shit. I know, my collection of
authors is pretty pathetic, haha.
Food: Anything, pretty much. I'm biased towards Italian food
though.
The six things I could never do without
Music, food, companionship, family (friends included), kitties,
musical instruments
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Everything and nothing. Usually I reflect and analyze myself, or I
just think absolutely bizarre thoughts like whether the government
actually sank money into a study determining whether Sharks and
M16's could be combined in an even more awesome killing machine.
But not really.
Or song lyrics that I'm writing, drumming riffs, and new recipes.
On a typical Friday night I am
Uhm... I don't know? Since I can vary my schedule with what kind of
job I'm working for, it can be different all the time. But if I
have a Friday off, then I try to hang out with people and game it
up or hang out.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I honestly don't care whether my socks match or not, although I do
love dressing formally. I have a decent fashion sense.
Actually, I don't like socks in general.
Real one is that I've only ever had two girlfriends. I guess that's
not a big deal but some people go "What the hell generation are you
from?"
I dunno, I'm an open guy. Ask me and I'll probably tell you.
You should message me if
You've fired a guy because he said that the world never had
dragons. Or if you got that reference.
Seriously though, you should message me if you want to have some
cool conversations.
Bonus points!
- if you like metal, or any of the bands I listed in my massive
list, or can introduce me to something cool
- You sing or play an instrument.
- Are awesome.
- Are nerdy. If you refer to yourself as an Otaku, you've gone too
far. However, reading Kotaku is acceptable.
