njboylost84@gmail.comHi! my name is Nick ... and this is my life, rewritten.
I'm a Jersey Boy who keeps getting shifted West. I grew up in the burbs of New York City for the first 18 years of my life. I graduated from Spiffy High in 2003 and enrolled in Penn State University as a meteorology major.
I believe that I am happier now than I have ever been... and I don't even have any friends I can call and hang out with yet. I really want to change that. I just moved to Columbus, Ohio. Yeah, I know, who would think being practically alone in Ohio would make this warm-weather loving, beach-bummin, East Coast boy truly happy? I just don't have much of anyone in these city limited to connect with. Columbus is a great city and I really hope everyone who has read this far comes and visits. I am a city person... but I think that I fit here better than overwhelmingly large cities. This city has a large gay population, and it makes me feel at east being myself in public more than I ever have been in the past.
I look back at how my career and I feel incredibly lucky. I have had the opportunity to write for the New York Times weather page. I now work for an electric company here in Ohio. My job continues to be what my passion is -- forecasting the weather. Except, I actually feel appreciated for doing what I love... Which is something I never really thought would happen. I think that it is a big part of being truly happy in my life and with I've done with myself so far.
I love to run ... I love the way I feel afterwards and even the next day. I try to run mythree five miles as much as I can. It's an adrenaline rush that can't be matched. And, well, I care about my body. I like to keep toned ... I like to feel good. I love to walk. I love to ride bicycles. I love playing tennis. I love photography ... I have tens of thousands of pictures in my archives ... and thousands of them are of sunsets. Most of the rest are of my friends or of various landscapes. Life passes so fast, I like to bottle little pieces of it.
I love music. Especially live music. I have a very ecclectic taste ... I really like a good deal from every genre except country. However, it is growing on me a little bit. I love watching baseball, especially the New York Mets. Somehow, along the way into becoming comfortable with myself as a gay man, I was deluded into thinking that I couldn't enjoy watching sports.
I love the beach. If I could spend every sunny day on the beach, I'd be the happiest man around (not to mention the most tan). I want to own a boat one day. I'm trying to get off of coffee for good. I've been slowly replacing it with green tea. I love to drive.
I love to travel, I love road trips. I love flying. I want to see as much of the world as I can afford before I die. It is my life's goal. I love cooking and eating. I'm most creative in the kitchen.
My biggest inspiration has been my Mom. I can't even explain how much she has taught me about life
