There's actually alot I'm interested in...like why we park on driveways and drive on parkways, why shipments are sent by car but cargo is sent by ship, who decided 7/11's should have locks on their doors when they never close,' why no one on this earth can take a picture of me without a, "say CHEESE!" when they know I'm allergic...and I really wanna know the story on that island LOST is trying to hide from me
Music
I love music, and I'm kinda all over the board if you look through my ipod. I love Flogging Molly, Weezer, Emery, New Found Glory, Jimmy Eat World, Dropkick Murphys, Johnny Cash, Deathcab for Cutie, 30 Seconds to Mars, Flyleaf, mewithoutyou, U2, Waking Ashland, Amadan, Classic Crime, the Red Jumpsuit Aparatus, The Shins, Amos Lee, Copelend, Ben Folds, some Coldplay, The Hush Sound, We Are Scientists, Finch, 311, Fair, Aaron Sprinkle, The Juliana Theory, and Coheed & Cambria. Throw in a little Beastie Boys, Bob Marley, Fountains of Wayne, Jet, The Postal Service, and good movie soundtracks, and I'm happy. I love blasting classic rock in my car, AC/DC, Zeppelin, Def Lep, Guns and Roses, Poison, even some Queen. The "Nacho Libre" soundtrack is great too...
Movies
I love movies to the point that I may have skipped a little thing called eating once or twice to build my movie collection. Some of the best are Boondock Saints, Kill Bill 1&2, Red Dawn, Brick, Braveheart, Terminator 2, Hot Rod, Crash, Scarface, Pans Labyrinth, Enter The Dragon, The Warriors, No Country for Old Men, Juno, Walk Hard, Man on Fire, the LOTR trilogy, Tommy Boy, Snatch, School of Rock, The Godfather, Dawn of the Dead, Super Troopers, Enemy at the Gates, Shaun of the Dead, Inside Man, The Usual Suspects, the original Star Wars trilogy, the Island, Reservoir Dogs, Big Fish, the Indiana Jones trilogy, Mystery Men, Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Die Hard and Die Hard with a Vengeance, Leon the Professional, V for Vendetta, Predator, Nacho Libre and even though it is truly a terrible movie, my guilty pleasure movie, The Punisher. I know....
Television
I don't have actual TV, but TV on DVD has become a new love of mine. If you have never seen Arrested Development, turn off your computer and go get it. Easily the funniest show, hands down, I have ever seen. I love the Office, and I have been watching HEROES like it's gonna save my life. I love 24 and Prison Break, old seasons of Family Guy, Kung Fu and the A-Team, and I will figure out Lost if it kills me...
Books
I am a big reader....I love Enders Game and the sequels, the Tom Clancy books, The Hobbit, How to be a Villain, Rob Bells books, Donald Millers Blue Like Jazz, The Zombie Survival Guide, Omerta, anything by Mario Puzo, Stardust, Neverwhere and American Gods all by Niel Gaiman, 300 and anything else by Frank Miller, Watchmen and V for Vendetta by Alan Moore and I must admit I love comic books. The Scott Pilgrim books rock my world, anything by Robert Kirkman...I'm pickin' 22 years old and I still read X-Men comics...
About me: Hi, my name is Nate, and if you really want to know about me you should just call me or we can hang out sometime...you can figure me out on your own. I live in Gresham, OR and I'm trying to get used to living in a city again..I read when I'm alone and am loud when I'm not. I watch movies like I get paid to do it but dont. I listen to music whenever I can, sing to myself when I can't, and belt out amazing, world-class vocals when I'm alone in my car. I laugh alot, and do my best to make sure I'm not laughing alone. I write when I can, but almost never go back to read it again unless I'm trying to remember, which I'll never take for granted again. I'm figuring out my life and loving the fact that I don't know and I'm not in control of it. I quote movies and Arrested Development way too much, but I don't care at all. I strive daily to follow Jesus and live to glorify Him, and am humbled just as often by how short I fall. There are your cliffs notes...you get to figure the rest out.
..
Who I'd like to meet: Whoever put the bop in the bopshubopshubop, Indiana Jones, CS Lewis, my past self so I can have him hide my toys from the Washington Toy Purge of '97, Chewbacca, Donald Miller, and Pam.

But hey, at least it's closer to Portland than Spoka-Vegas.
Nate, sorry to hear that your success is somewhat limited in the stripping business...I know what you mean...my age has taken a toll in that area too. Sooooo, your head is coming back together then? You have been missed around the old stomping grounds but I know that you wanted out for sometime. Hopefully you have/will find something that is more interesting and to your liking... Make sure that you get what you are worth though. Miss you Nate...please please please keep in touch and let us all know if you are in town so we can say HI...miss you, MOM
Thanks for replying! I was wondering what u were up to. Sorry about life! What beers u owe me? Bend brewfest is on my bday this year, aug 16th. U should come over for that! Dang wish I woulda heard from u earlier, I just had a zombie survival camp in estacada a couple weekends ago!
Hey Nate, I am with Heather. You never answer me either. You obviously touched all of our lives or we wouldn't still be writing you and asking how you are!!! Listen Mister Funny Pants, let us know how you are. We all had a lot of fun together, or did you forget? I hope that you are well!!! Karen aka MOM
How come you have never ever replied to any message I have ever sent you on myspace? How rude! I hope you are doing okay. I wonder about you every once in awhile. I hope things are good in your life because you are someone that deserves that!
