Hello my name is Nicholas D. McCarthy aka "The Squid." Yes, my nickname is "The Squid" from the Nickelodeon cartoon show named Rocket Power, because I look like character Sam Dullard. Yes, I am single! I like to say that I'm 33-year-old rebel without a cause. However, deep down I'm just a person trying to live life to the fullest that's all. Even though I have Cerebral Palsy and Hydrocephalus I don't let that define who I am. I also like to say that I love to get wild and crazy sometimes especially on the weekends but in reality, I don't because I'm a nerd LOL. I am a student at SUNY Adirondack for Media Arts.

I also like to listen to music. I like to listen to pretty much like everything minus old school country. Another thing, I like to do is having fun with my family and friends when I have the time along with playing video games. I play mostly sports games because my disability. Most games are two handed games. However, I manage playing sports games like NBA 2K and Madden on my PS3. Like I said before I love to volunteer my time with various Charites. Some of the Charites that I volunteer for are; Make A Wish Foundation, Alzheimer's Association, and Out of the Darkness. Which is to raise awareness about suicide; which I do struggle with.
