Destiny

I miss Coach Nick, but I am coach nick. HOW DOES A MAN MISS HIMSELF? But really though coach nickols taught me to be enthusiastic about my life. No matter the situation he was always fired up. He didn't get any credit and people made fun of him... But he was a cool dude. 

RING RING RING "Oh, pardon me, it's destiny..."

Even though we lost the game the man put in the effort to call his own cell phone and have a phone call with "destiny". What a badass.

Where The Sidewalk Ends

http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/shel_silverstein/poems/14836

Where The Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein is a great poem. When I read it it made me think about the country. It talks about the place where the sidewalk ends as being a nice place, then it talks about the place with the sidewalk as being not so nice. It says to follow the chalk-white arrows to the place where the sidewalk ends. It could be talking about leaving the city or even more figuratively going to a happy place.

WHO THE HELL KNOWS

that's what makes it such a good poem. It's short and to the point, and it makes you think. Read it 10 times and you'll think something new every time.

"Stripling Warriors"

This week Portland (my jj team) faces off against the "stripling warriors" and tough names aside, we are going to murder them. I just hope this one kid on our team that kinda snuck his way on doesn't mess around like he did last year because I want to sore 100 points! (as a team) as myself I have to score 4 points every game but I'm up to the challenge. My plan is to be really dirty when the ref  looks away so when I get the ball I get fouled super hard. Then I just need to make my foul shots. Easy enough right? Well I've been shooting free throws and hopefully I go 1/2 or 2/2 on every trip to the line. Well that's it. See ya

6 Easy Steps to Become a Bromigo

I stole the idea for this from Thad Castle.

If you want to be a bro (we all do) you're gonna need to follow a few simple instructions. You might be asking yourself, what makes you the expert on bros? And my answer to that is trust me I'm a bro, and bros trust their bros.

Step 1: Get your swoll on. All bros go to the gym cause it's a great place to hang out with your bros and get huge. Some say Golds is the place but all the greats started in small, old, crappy gyms. Just watch Rocky so for me, I would suggest AF Rec.

Step 2: Love the movie "Warrior". I'll be the first to admit, Warrior has some of the worst acting of any film ever produced, but come on, Tommy's a badass! That's why bros watch movies to see dudes get knocked out in one punch. If you're a girl and want to start a conversation with a bro just go up to him and ask, "wanna go to my place and watch Warrior?" It works every time.

Step 3: If you've ever said "totes", you are disqualified from bro membership.

Step 4: Don't make a big deal about little things. Oh one of your bros just hooked up with your ex-girlfriend? It's fine he's your bro. You're the only one with enough gas to make it up to Hooters? Drive your bros up there, bro.

Step 5: All bros can quote Workaholics like it's nothing, DVR that show brochacho.

Step 6: Bros never die. And by that I mean the bonds of friendship, sure you might make fun of your bros sometimes but at the end of the day you're a BROtherhood so act like it.

Jillian: "Blake what's the tightest thing in the world?"
Blake: "A butthole,"
Jillian: "Yes, ideally, a butthole. But do you wanna know what else is tight? The bonds of a family."

If you follow these 6 easy steps you'll be well on your way to the brothership. Your bros are your family, yes, even Zach so

BRO THE F UP.

Twitter Fights

Twitter fights are great when you win. You feel super witty but what you don't want to do is get a whole band's fan base coming at you. I had 212 followers when I decided to start a twitter fight with some Blink-182 guy with a lip ring. He also has 3000 followers, my account got shut down because I guess too many people reported me and now I had to make a new twitter an now I have 50 followers. Moral of the story is only get in twitter fights with people less popular than you.

I Remember June

I remember 7 am workouts.
I remember trying to get faster and stronger every day.
I remember going home soaked in sweat.
I remember Coach McGeary not believing in us.
I remember that there's only 4 5A teams left.
I remember how lucky I am.
I remember how much hard work it took.
I remember coughing for an hour after practice cause my lungs couldn't handle it.
I remember the freindships I made with all my teammates.
I remember that win or lose is irrelevant.
I remember having a 2 hour meeting after the PG game.
I remember promising to change.
We haven't lost since.
I remember when a chick told my friend to dye his leg hair.
I remember thinking "what the hell?"
I remember laughing and having a good time with my teammates.
I remember feeling like brothers.
I remember what it feels like to have "State Champs" on my finger.
I remember I'll do anything it takes to feel that feeling again.

REGULATORS!!!!!

Mount up.

BRICKS

I'm not a brick, somebody lied. iPhone 4s, but now I need that 5. New apple products every week, what's the difference? It can't be that much better. Steve Jobs is dead. Apple makes billions, he built that company from the ground up, brick by brick. Do they have iPhones in heaven or is Steve Jobs in hell. He had to cut some people off to sit in his garage and build computers, he probably missed some of his friends birthday parties, cake is good.

DUCK TAPE
DUCT TAPE

what's a duct?

The Buck Stops Here

Jason Buck has arrived. The mustache is in the building, I repeat Super Bowl Champion Defensive End for the Washington Redskins, Jason Buck is the new Defensive Coordinator for Lone Peak. Who would've thought after 8 games we would have 3 Defensive Coordinators it's pretty crazy. Jason has wanted to coach us for a while now I think but Coach McGeary finally got desperate enough to ask him to come coach. He played in the NFL so he knows what he's talking about, also he's great at getting us pumped up. When one coach dies another coach is born.

The cons are we have 1 more practice to put in a whole new system. Defense isn't like offense though.  Defenders don't have to think out there we just REACT. So it's better to have a new DC every week than it would to have a new OC. I know Jason puts in the time watching film at his house and I have no doubt he will do everything he can to have our D ready. Last week against PG we could afford a loss, not this week though. The next 2 games will determine if we go into the playoffs as a 1 seed or go down the freakin toilet.

I love my teammates. After our PG game we had a players only meeting and I'm not going to go into detail about what we talked about but we are all refocused and working our butts off in practice. I just got back from a 4 hour practice so I'm confident we'll be ready to play Riverton. We're too talented to be stopped and right now all I can think about is Riverton and Jason always says to go to sleep and think about making that big play, so that's what I'm going to do, also I'm sorry to anybody who came out to watch the PG game and saw us play like crap and I promise this week will be different so please come. I think we may have something special.


Extra 1

I never know what to write for my second one and this is a terrible intro. I'm just not creative like all these kids in my class who write top notch blogs. You guys are great and I wish I could be more like you indies. Sincerely, Not Indie. #ceelogreen

Cool Story Bro

I'm thinking about you like fat guys think about food
Double Cheeseburger
"Lately I've been called a ginger, a fat ginger.
IT PISSES ME OFF!"
I'm thinking about you like hoes think about tools
Like hammers think about nails
Home Depot
I'm thinking about you like dirt thinks about janitors
Like janitors think about hating their job
Like Donald Trump thinks about loving his job
YOU'RE FIRED
I'm thinking about you like dads think about saying, "Grow up, kid."
Get a job
People think wearing glasses with no lenses in them is cool, and
IT PISSES ME OFF!!

Straight Outta Compton (Clean Version)

Straight outta Compton crazy dude named Ice Cube
From the gang called friends With Attitudes
When I'm called off I got a sawed off teddy bear
Squeeze the trigger and bodies get hugs
You too boy if ya mess with me
The police are gonna hafta come and get me cause I'm stuck in a tree
Off yo butt that's how I'm goin out
For the punk guys that's showin out
dudes start to mumble, they wanna rumble (play video games)
Mix em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin off on a boy like that
with some friends, and we're fishing for bass
So give it up smooth
Ain't no tellin when I'm down for a jack move
Here's a cool rap to keep yo barkin
with a crime record like Rosa Parks and
Screwdriver is the tool
Don't make me act the crazy fool
Me you can go toe to toe, no maybe
Me and my friends have crazy parties
yo weekly, monthly and yearly
until them dumb brothers see clearly
that I'm down with the capital C-P-T
Boy you can't mess with me
So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
Coz Ice Cube is crazy as a crazy guy
As I leave, believe I'm stompin
but when I come back, boy, I'm comin straight outta Compton


Things I Am Not Scared Of

I am not scared of beards, goatees, soul patches. The only facial hair I fear is the fear of moustaches.
Moustacheophobia, it's a real thing never fear a face unless it has a moustache. RUN, run, run from the face moustaches everywhere I can hardly think. Single, double, triple, home run. The catcher has a moustache, run the other way. One day I'll build the courage to shave it off, to look in a mirror. It all started when I was just a kid. Just a kid bro, I'm just a kid. #fearthemoustache

A day in the life of @zmort111

Claire says "wake up it's 11:15!"
Long night of partyin'
You know Zach's on the scene.
He tries to stand up
But he's too sore
Scoring lots of touchdowns
school is just a bore.
He says bye to his mom and hangs out with the ladies
Its his senior year
He's in his truck bumping to "Call Me Maybe"
The chicks know he's the most romantic kid around
He writes about girls in his journal when they're out of town
He picks up the girls and they can hardly resist
Florescent orange hair, he's hard to miss
But they think he's cute
And they want to tap
So he taps them because he's a gentleman
He drops them off at the end of the night
And they always say "Zach you make me feel so right."


These things are how you make me feel

You make me feel like...

I don't know what to write about. I need to come up with things that i feel like when I see her. I don't have a girlfriend, I've kissed girls before, I attended the sophomore slams.

So I guess I'm suposed to come up with things that she makes me feel like. I wish this was easier. Similes.

I feel like the guy in the video, you make me feel like a guy who feels really good.

Selena Gomez is hot. Selena you make me feel like a guy who just saw a girl who was really hot. Not too excited though, because I know I don't have a shot, I just though you could call me maybe, and we could call each other baby. You could be my special lady, eat the crumbs off my mustache, cause we're into that weird stuff. I'll dress up like a spartan cause that's my favorite warrior.
Humans

Humans are some of the weakest things in the animal kingdom, and slowest. I'd take a chimp over a human any day on my punt team. Chimps have no fear and a killer instinct. I watched a video once of a lady after she got her face ripped off by her pet chimpanzee, she had him for like ten years and they were great friends.

Chimpanzees don't have hearts, yeah they do have hearts literally but figuratively they don't. All they care about is eating and flinging poop at one another. What separates us from the apes?

Humans are greedy and hungry for power. Humans will stab each other in the back to get ahead. Humans, for the most part are out to get theirs and couldn't care less about the next guy. Yeah we aren't really much different.

Introduction

Coach Nickols here, head Special Teams coordinator for the defending state champion Lone Peak Knights! If there's one thing you need to know about my team is we have a target on out backs every week. Every other team's dream is to beat us, my job is to not let that happen.

My life is the same way, I've been running from bullets since my days in 'Nam. One day I decided I was tired of running, so I picked up a gun and my enemies have been running from me since. I'm a dang good shot.

I take my same philosophy of football and war into my writing. I like to make my enemies bleed. I write to make a difference in my life and the people who read it. I crush cans and take no prisoners. We are sparta! And I am the man, the myth, the legend Coach Nickols.

"PUNT ALERT!"
