The Beginning

Hello.  I'm Nicholas Ryan Fletcher.  Most of you already know me pretty well but just in case, I'll give you a quick run-down.  I was born in Olathe, Kansas and continued to live there for the first 7 years of my life.  Next stop was Omaha, Nebraska for 4 years, then Parker, Colorado for 10 years.  I am currently residing in Long Beach, California where I have been since January of this year.  I had an ordinary boys life of sports and fireworks.  I spent much of my youth feeling as if I was on the outside looking in although I may have just been hard on myself as I always have.  I discovered love and passion in the sport of roller hockey at the age of 8.  I have always been most self-conscious of my hair after being teased about it once or twice in the 1st grade.  I discovered my second love when I was 14 which was with music when I attended the Vans Warped tour.  It has been a driving force in my life ever since then.  I spent my sophomore and junior year of high school trying to find a girlfriend and needless to say it was unsuccessful.  Although, I feel like I learned a lot through being rejected over a dozen times.  I've been in love with a girl.  Falling in love with another person changed me completely.  It stripped me of my innocence.  I spent my summer of 2007 in Long Beach to intern with an independent record label which turned out to be the best summer of my life.  I met some people that I will remain to be friends with till the end of my life.  It was not till then that I realized there are people out there with similar souls.  That brings us to present day.  I am currently struggling for motivation.  I have a self-diagnosed case of depression, and I am trying to figure out where I fit into this world of ours.  Hence the name of this blog, Nick Meets World.  However, I mostly used it because of my obsession with the hit 90's TV show with Ben Savage.  I did not create this blog in efforts to impress or to make one feel sorry for me.  I have witnessed too much of that and will try my hardest to steer clear.  I created this in attempt to entertain, to intrigue, to inspire, to relate, and to maybe help make sense of the things in our world which we are expected to make sense of but have not a clue.  Welcome to my world.
