I am Nate. I am an idealist. I stand up for what I believe in and try to share it with others.
I'm a Professional Writing student at OU, and I'm working on minors in Film & Video Studies and in History.
I play in a Celtic-Punk band called The Righs, for which I play
acoustic guitar, do a lot of the lead vocals and write many songs. Two of the songs I wrote, "Agony's Night" and "Dublin: Easter, 1916," are in my player. Yes, that's me singing on them.
I can never write an "About me" section without feeling like I'm
writing an advertisement. I'm just me. The best way to find out who I
am is just to talk to me. I suppose I can be shy, but I genuinely like
to meet new people, so feel free to talk to me, unless you're creepy in
some way.

haha man that's a struggle! Along with school work and your band and whatever else you got going on! You're a busy guy. I watch Heroes, Project Runway, and just whatever's on when I'm watching. Usually family guy or the daily show/colbert report. That kinda stuff.
That sounds like a lot of work. But heroes is for sure worth it. 2 hours of Heroes was like heaven for me. Well thank goodness for DVR. I do not have it, and I miss a lot of things. But it's all good. I'm not dying from it or anything. I seem to miss Project Runway all the time but they show it plenty of times after the first airing. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is pretty hilarious. Season 1 Episode 6 is my favorite episode.
