Well, hello there. I guess this is the part of the program where I introduce myself. My name is Nate, if you couldn't already guess by reading the end of this post. I'm turning 20 in two months or so. Basically, my story is, I grew up in Vermont my entire life and then I decided I needed a change in my life, so I decided to transfer from my community college to SUNY Albany. So far, I've been here a month, and despite a few road bumps it's pretty great.

I'm a Japanese major. Yes, Really. But before you get the idea of me being some fat ass wearing a Naruto hoodie, I'm not your typical Japanofile. I rarely watch Anime, and when I do, it's usually some of the lesser known ones. J-Pop is meh for the most part, but I really like J-Rock. But not gay shit like L'arc~en~ciel and Gackt all that standard fare. There are exepctions, but I'm really more of a fan of older J-rock and the more obscure stuff. X Japan, GO!GO!7188, LOW IQ 01, POLYSICS, stuff like that.

Now that I alienated our already non-existant audience, I do like American music too. Frank Zappa, Buckethead, Weezer, Primus, Deerhoof all kick ass. As does classic rock and other dudes who play guitar really fast.

Also, I absolutely love retro stuff. Someone once told me I probably should have been born in 1985. I have an XBox and PS2 (I'm too poor to buy any of your new-consoles) but my favorite system is the NES I bought a few months back. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to lug a TV of some kind into my dorm room, so I haven't played it in quite a bit, but I love the thing. You can have your Call of Duties and Gears of War, I've got Duck Hunt, bitch!

I think I had more ideas, but I forgot, and I'm lazy, and I really should be going to sleep soon because I have to catch a train tomorrow morning. With that, I leave you with this video, because if I don't show it, Luke will gut me.
