SINGLE AWARENESS DAY :D a.k.a my Valentines day guide for any man on a date :)

Ah yes love is in the air! It is Valentines day, a day full of joy, love, happiness and caring. It also means one big thing…getting the card and everything you need on a date. Now this can be a tricky, specially if your last minute shopping at the car wash right before you see your date… even though those are the best funny cards. Just sayin. Choosing a card can be tough though.

And it alllll depends on how long you have been going out. Lets be real fellas don’t go out of your way to buy an extravagant card when you’ve only been dating for 2 weeks. Or do it…I don’t care, I’m the single one around here, why are you taking my advice anyway? Now if you’ve been dating for a while I think it’s safe to say its time for the singy card. You know the ones that have the singers crammed in the card so when you open it, their only choice of air is to sing? Yeah those. Now here come the flowers. Flowers are the key ingredient to this love stew. It gives off every intention on what you plan on doing in this date. Roses….well you want to get lucky. Woah, woah everyone settle your horses. Were talking about the gumball machine at the restaurant duhhh. Everyone wants the pink gumball. That’s a scientific fact. Anyhow pink flowers say “Hey there, I think your cute and I don’t want you to think I’m trying to try my luck, I mean maybe after this we can go back to my dorm and watch a nice movie, such as Gladiator or Saving Private Ryan, you know something cute like that” that’s the perfect flower. The best type of flowers for newly weds. I say weds cuz having a girlfriend is like being married. Lets face it laaats of commitment goin on between yous twos. I suppose you can get other kinds of flowers but that means your not even trying. Anyhow here comes the deal breaker. Where you eat. Me I like to keep it 100% classy and take her to Dobbs pavilion, ya know the dorm food. It says yeah you’re cute and I obviously would like to date you and yeah I guess ill use my swipes on you. If you decide to be less classy you can I guess take her to applebees right? But lets be honest that’s probably a $30 meal and you don’t want to spend all that money when you could save up for the new N64 Mario Kart game huh? Did ya think of that? No you didn’t. You’re welcome. Also the classy yet sophisticated run to McDonalds isn’t too far out of the question either. Just try not to stray from the dollar menu too much. Now the end of the night approaches and you’re getting nervous. Do you go in for the kiss? Or the hug? What if you’re not interested? Should you act like your interested? Then your not interested but now she’s interested. But then you might be interested and now she might not be interested? Then you wind up doing that Cash out hug where you lean in and your bottom stays out. Yeahh it can get more awkward then when Eli got drafted to the chargers after he said he wouldn’t play for them WOOPS! Did I go there, I think I did ;) anyhow do the lean in for the hug/maybe we should kiss method. 60% of the time it works every time. You’re at her door step or in your car dropping her off then BOOM! Go in for the hug then if you lean in a little and she does, lay it on her! If she doesn’t…blame it on a cramp in your lower back. Its golden! That part of the date is by far the most awkward part of any new date. Well there has been my advice! I hope it has helped you on your single awareness day date! This has been Nick Monaghan the love guru!

I HAVE ERGANT NEWS!! I guess now is a better time then ever to tell the world of my secret Valentine that has been mine for a few years. Ladies and Gentlemen Miley Cyrus and I have been quite the lovers over the past years. You know texts back n forth, promiscuous dates here and there. Sneaking out of the house, you know teenage stuff. But I figured I must tell the world! Love you honey bug!

Side note…Too much PDA annoys America and is the reason why we are in a recession. That is all.

HAVE A GREAT HALLMARK DAY! :D

Passion; An Inspirational Blog

Passion. Passion is what takes things from the regular to the next level. Passion is what takes ordinary men and women and makes them extraordinary. Passion doesn’t discriminate on height, weight, gender, sex, race, anything. Passion is what brought a bunch of kids in 1980 to step up to men, to the world, against “The unbeatable” and beat them. To give a country hope, pride, the will to go on. Passion.  Its something you have to feel and live. It’s your heart; it’s your way of life. If you don’t have it in everything you do, you wont survive anything you do. Passion takes a kid who has nothing, a broken home, a family who’s struggling and takes them to the top. Takes them to dreams they only thought were possible when they went to bed at night. Passion lets you rely on more than luck. It gives you a reason to believe and KNOW that you have what it takes. Every man is created equal. Others take the little opportunities that they got and make them huge. Passion takes the “I can’t, I won’t” and turns it into “I can, I will.” At the end of the day it comes down to you. It doesn’t come down to anyone else. There will be haters that say “You’re not big enough, you cant do that.” But at the end of the day you’re the one looking in the mirror and going to bed with yourself at night. 

You think if Danny Woodhead listened to every doubter that said he was too small and from a DII school that he would never play in the league or he would be where he is today? He got CUT from the New York Jets, he could have packed it in and listened to everyone that doubted him, but he had passion. The thing with passion is it DOESN’T care about logic at all. If passion cared about logic then Tom Brady who was a 6^th round 199^th overall draft pick in the 2000 draft, would be working a regular job and out of the league. Little do a lot of people know that Tom Brady was a back up to Drew Bledsoe who was the face of the Patriots for years, until he got hurt and Tom Brady got the chance to play and now is the face of the NFL. Passion. Passion doesn’t care about the past; it only leads to the future. Passion told Adolf Hitler and the entire Nazi party to shove it when they tried to take over the world. Passion said, “I have a dream” Passion spoke in 4 score and seven years ago. Passion made the decision to try. It gave people hope to live, it told mother nature that just because you can hit us with a hurricane that knocked out a whole city, that we could still stay strong and host massive events not long after. Passion could never tell a lie. It told us that we have nothing to fear, but fear itself. Passion told the free world that only because we are in a depression that we will get out of this, just stay strong. Passion took a young man, who’s fathers…BOTH, walked out on him and his mother and to have to live with one leg, who was anything but a “Perfectly fine human body” that HE could be a PERFECT 36-0 national Champion wrestler. Passion took a homeless man and made him the motivational speaker that he is today. 

          “It doesn’t matter what odds are stacked against me, I don’t know math, I only know will” says passion. Passion gave peace a chance. Passion said just because we are down 3 games in the World Series that we could come back and win it. Passion can’t be mistaken, put in a drug and infused into your body. Its something you’re born with. Passion can defeat any enemy. Passion stood in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square and said enough was enough. Passion will set you free and take off that coat of doubt that you have hanging over you. Passion told a man that he could loose 245 pounds by sticking to a plan of eating strict sandwiches. It gave men a chance to keep a free union. Passion told England that they could take their taxation without representation and jump in a ditch. Passion gave that boy, girl, man, women the chance to BEAT CANCER. It told cancer that just because you THINK you can take this young persons life too early that you are the one that’s DEAD wrong. Passion gave a man the right to wear number 42 and break the color barrier. Passion took someone who was CUT after making his D1 team and working at a retail store while his team continued to play to say “I’m going to start next year, I’m sick of this” AND DID. Passion told ME that I didn’t have to listen to all the people saying I am too small to play division 1 football. Passion told ME that just because we don’t have enough money right now that we will make it out just fine. Passion told ME that just because I was born a month premature at 4 pounds 7 ounces that I would make it out alive. Passion gave me the opportunity to be all-conference in track and football and 16^th ranked long snapper in the nation. Passion got rid of my anxiety. Passion can help you pursue everything you can; with passion your dreams can come true. If your trying to make the team don’t ask yourself why WONT coach choose me, yet ask yourself what can I do so coach WILL choose me. If your trying to loose weight, take it slow, passion is patient, loose 5, ten pounds a time and it will add up. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

 Passion will take you anywhere you want to go. The 1980’s dream team, Danny woodhead, Tom Brady, Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, John F. Kennedy, Anthony Robles, Eric Thomas, the 2004 Boston Red Sox, “Tank man”, Jared Fogle, the union in the civil war, our founding fathers, Anyone who is currently or had battled and won against cancer, Jackie Robinson, Kevin Ballinger all had one thing in common, at one point they were all common. They were all regular people like you and me. They just let their passion take over their life and let it lead them to where they wanted to be and not where they were. GO out there and become THAT person you want to be. That person you can go to sleep at night thinking yeah I gave it everything I had and now I am were I am. STOP BEING SO AFRAID TO BE GREAT. Go make the team, get that job, loose that weight, ask the cutest girl you know out on a date, make the band, get that starting role in the play, be the best boyfriend or girlfriend you can be, be the best mom or dad, husband or wife there is. Here’s your challenge. Be all that you can be. We have too much average in this world. Dare to be the best at what your doing.

“Everything will be ok in the end, if its not okay, then it’s not the end”
