Um…What is wrong with this picture?
By Nick | October 19, 2010
Tonight I was going through some papers in my desk and I came across my original birth certificate. I always laugh when I see it because the story that goes along with my footprint that is on it is hilarious.
You see when I was born I was a little bit jaundiced and had to immediately be whisked away to have tests run. They apparently took me so quickly that my parents didn’t have the chance to fully check me out.
Before the doctor brought me back in to where my parents were, a nurse had given them my birth certificate with the footprints on it. As you can see by the image, it appears as though I am missing a toe. Well my parents freaked. Lucky for me, one of my toes wasn’t pushed down when they were making the print.

A Hero’s Decline
By Nick | October 18, 2010
Many times in this blog I have written about my grandfather and the impact he has had on my life. He’s quite an amazing man, one that anyone would be proud to be related to or even know. Now that he is 92 years old, things are slowing down a bit for him and that is a difficult thing to watch. Watching him become a prisoner in his own mind is quite unbearable. I take comfort knowing that even though he may not be able to do what he wants to do right now, he has had a pretty amazing life. One that mine and pretty much everyone I know will not compare to.

Thank goodness someone finally came out with fake mustaches, eyebrows, and goatees for kids. And for only 50 cents!!! The world is now a better place!

Dear guy holding the mattress on the roof of his car
By Nick | July 28, 2010
What makes you think that you and your friend’s scrawny arms are strong enough to hold a 200 pound piece of foam, metal and wood while going down the highway at 50 miles per hour. Sure that piece of dental floss that you decided to use to tie down the mattress to the roof might do the trick, but honestly I think it is going to take a little bit more than that. The tensile strength of floss is a bit over rated. Get a grip my friend…and I mean that literally and figuratively.

I really need to get back on the blogging wagon. I feel like I have a lot to say. Which is a new feeling these past few months. Laziness be damned! I will get back into this blog soon!

I passed! I passed! Oh, man!
By Nick | November 11, 2009
In the words of Tommy Boy “I passed! I passed! Oh, man! I got a D+! I’m gonna graduate!”
In June I started training in Muay Thai, and Filipino Martial Arts at my friend Ervin’s studio, I.M.P.A.C.T. Athletes. Last week I had my first test and the above is the video. As you can see, I kinda got my butt kicked and have a lot to work on. It has been a lot of work, but I really have enjoyed it. Lots of new friends and my confidence level has grown tremendously!

My Mom Can Kick Your Mom’s Ass!
By Nick | October 28, 2009
Yeah, that’s right. My mom can kick some serious butt! This weekend, my 57 year old mother checked off another item on her bucket list when she entered in a powerlifting meet at Flex Gym in Virginia Beach. And…….she placed both 1st place in the Bench Press division, and the deadlift division for her class. The fact that she was the only one in her divisions doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that all the other moms out there were too scared! Check out those muscles!

Metamorphosis of Me
By Nick | October 22, 2009
I have been needing a change lately and have been having a difficult time figuring out what that change is. As an exercise in stepping out-of-the-box (I hate that phrase) and being open for change, I decided to shave my head…making a change. Sort of like making a mark on a blank canvas that has had you stumped for a few months. Sometimes it takes that first mark to get things in motion. I consider this mine. It may sound like a ridiculous exercise to some, but I am running out of ideas. Hopefully this will be the spark that moves me forward.
