Hello blog world. I have decided that it is indeed time to start off my blog. My name is Nick Monaghan and I am a freshman red shirt long snapper at Western Michigan University. Pretty much the coolest position on the field. I get to travel, eat free food on the weekends (At team meals) and also I don’t get worked to hard at practice. (Seriously fathers teach your kids how to snap, if you cant Chris Rubio can its great.)
Anyhow it’s the coolest thing ever minus all the other players/coaches on your team hating you because you don’t do anything. Except stealing and melting the hearts of innocent females across the country with your snapper swag (which we will blog about later) Its sweet and lets be honest as Kevin Ballinger talks about we can cut a rug better than Johnny Travolta ever could. I’m almost positive he learned how to dance from a snapper. I digress and suppose I should tell you about myself. First off I am a twin. I know ladies; there is two of me. Eat your hearts out. My brother is probably the best looking kid I know. He is also my best friend. He is the goofiest kid I know. His humor is a lot of situational humor you know like if your standing next to him and he see’s something he’s going quietly joke to you about it and make you laugh your socks off. It’s great when we are out n about doing snapper like things such as trolling for babes, working your seemingly unviewable 6-pack or just sitting on the beach as people wish they could snap like you. I also forgot to mention he goes to The University of Missouri, which is a downer because I miss him and he’s goose n Im maverick, perfect wingmen. I could write a whole blog about this clown. In-fact I might. If I decide I will not be lazy. Huge decision.
Anyhow time to talk about the lady that birthed me. Lisa Monaghan. This lady is a saint and would do absolutely anything for me. No joke, the lady loves me more than I think herself sometimes, I absolutely love it. Anyhow Lisa Monaghan is my idol because she does not take any crap from anyone. I feel sometimes I care too much about what people think. But this lady is all real. Be nice to her and she will love you. Don’t be nice. Well…. you might as well be nice. She is an amazing lady and has put up with mike (My brother) and my dad (Kevin, he’s next) and I for 19+ years. Being the only lady in the house it’s hard for her to even think of putting on E! Channel or oxygen or any of those other lady channels. We always change it to ESPN or CMT or Nickelodeon you know, manly channels. She also puts up with a lot of our boyish shenanigans like wrestling all the time and bodily noises that aren’t pleasant. She also has filmed every single sporting event that mike and I have ever partaking part of. Seriously everything. Wrestling tournaments from 7am-8pm it’s amazing. Huge embracing to this lady and all the love she showers mike and I with. I also talk to her almost every night on the phone making sure she hasn’t killed my father yet (They are living just themselves now after 19 years of living with mike and I) and about whatever is on my mind. Like I said she is real so she sees the way they should be and helps me. Especially if I’m angry.
Next is Kevin Monaghan, my dad, my hero. Most of my friends or most people whom I refer him to rather know him as KPM. KPM is the man. He taught me everything about being a man. I mean look at the guy he has a stache of a god and chest hair of a lion. Anyhow he is a great man. He is very much involved in politics in my hometown of Darien, IL. He was the treasurer for 4 years and also ran for mayor, lost by 5% but its cool because Darien wasn’t ready for his coolness to rage on the town. In time dad, in time. Also this man has been my role model for life. He has been to every. Single. Practice. Of anything of mine. Seriously in 8th grade when my team took 3rd in state his name was on the trophy as a coach. He also was at every single football practice of mine in high school. I think it made him feel like he had the “Inside Scoop” but to be honest he owned his own insurance agency at home so I think it was just to get him out of the house. I love chilling with the guy and going golfing with him and my brother. Side note my brother, dad and I together is probably the funniest/sometimes obnoxious thing you will every see. Especially if we are at an event that all three of us don’t particularly care for. It’s a riot.
My brother also plays lacrosse for Missouri so one weekend he was playing in St.Louis for a tournament there and that was the same weekend we playing University of Illinois so my parents drove from Darien, IL to St.Louis for friday night then saturday morning drove from St.Louis to Champagne to see My game against U of I. They truly are the best parents ever!

Anyhow that’s a little bit about my family and myself. It is time to go to lifts with my best friends Luke Martinez and Andrew Holdeman. Both kickers. Both almost attractive as me and both smarter than me by a million times.
Stay tuned for more!
