My Choices

My name is Nico Florendo. I’m A big online gamer who neglected his home work. I’m also a artist who Neglected his in-class work to draw.I also love music, and can’t live without it. Now I’m going to address each subject, for you.

I’m a Big Online gamer. I started when i was fourteen or fifteen. The first game i Played Online was Warcraft Two. Then i got into its upgraded version warcraft 3. Then World of Warcraft came out, and Ive been playing that game since. After i left high school early i played the game for at least 12 hours A day.I got My Mother and sister into the game. they don’t play as much, because they both have other hobbies. I’ve also gotten my best friend into the game. I played That game as much as I could in freshman year. I Even neglected My Homework to do so ,and became a D minus too C student at best. I drew in class too

My Junior and High school years weren’t my academic best. I had horrible grades. I drew in class; and all my focus was directed towards drawing. It all started in seventh grade. I met my best friend Roberto. in my English class. Up until then i was doing pretty good. In fourth the grade i had college reading level.Whenever i did try I always did really good. For example during seventh grade i was given A reading comprehension test . I did so good they thought i cheated. They then called my mother .My mother asked who else scored that high; no one else did so they tested me again and I scored higher. Again in sophomore year i was given a essay to write about a topic and i tried really hard.I put Two days into it.It was about the drug Ritalin, and its affects on the human body and other stuff. After being unsatisfied with it, I decided to turn it in anyway. I then received the Best grade in all her classes for that essay.Even though i didn’t do work I wasn’t in the classes with less intelligent people. I always scored high on the tests so i was put into the better classes. Not the top classes but usually average or above. Although i had the capability to be a good student; I didn’t care and drew in all my classes.Drawing is my second favorite hobby. I hope to get a career in the art field. Although i love Drawing, I cant live without music.

I got into heavy metal music during 6th grade. My second best friend Salvador got me into it. He introduced me to Metallica . Soon after I began to get into other bands eventually stopping at my favorite music Power metal.. I listen predominantly to Powermetal; although I like most forms of metal . My favorite band currently is Falconer. I learned about them through Pandora.com. Pandora is a internet radio station. I can’t do to much without listening to music. I have to listen to music when I vacuum, or do homework. If I don’t listen to music i find whatever im doing very boring. I used to play guitar; But I stopped to put more time into drawing, and world of warcraft.

After hearing all of that you may be wondering why I chose these three aspects to identify by. The reason is that these are my three main things in life. So If I didn’t have one it would affect me greatly.Or if one aspect changed I could have been a totally different person.

metal working
Joe Goertz asked:


Working with metal is not nearly as easy as working with wood and plaster. The issue is that metal is a lot more sturdy then all the other materials but that does not make it any easier to work with. That main dilemma that people who are working with metal are faced with is how to fasten it to different surfaces as needed. There are some answers to be found and it is not all that complicated when you think about it.

Metal fasteners come in all shapes and sizes. The most common form would be the *****. Now if you are going to use screws to attach your metal to a surface you need to understand the different types of screws first. This is a common problem for a lot of people because the choices are vast and they have no idea which type they should choose for the job at hand. First off you should always go with the screws that are designed for metal. They are easy to pick out because they do not have as sharp a point as wood screws do. Wood screws are pointed to a large extent so they can be easily stuck in the wood and will stay while they are being put in. You can not do this with metal screws as their point is far more blunt.

Metal screws are used for the purpose of attaching metal to other surfaces, including more metal. The end is blunt and it is not meant to just starting turning it to get it in. If you are using metal screws then you should always take the time to drill a pilot hole in the metal and then start inserting the *****. If you do not use the pilot hole method then you will take the chance on stripping the head and rendering the head of the ***** unusable. The pilot hole acts as a guide to allow the ***** to move in and attach to what is on the other side without a problem. You could also cause yourself some serious injury if you do not use the pilot holes as the ***** could slip and stab you in the hand or even ruin the metal that you are trying to attach.

The other factor that you should consider is the type of ***** head and the quality of the ***** itself. If you buy the flat head screws then you are asking for trouble in many cases. The flat heads have a bad habit of stripping or missing and you will end up with a lot of problems and time wasted getting the ***** in the area where you want it. Also the quality of the ***** is important. If the ***** is poor in quality then you will have an issue where you are stripping a bunch of ***** heads because the metal is too soft. This can cause a lot of wasted time and the bits that you are using to pushing the screws in will take the blunt of the trauma.

Using these guidelines, you will surely have less of a hard time.
