Kicker's Life Lately


Bros, what it do? Long time no write. Why you may ask? Well kids I have been bussssyyy. I know most of you think I don't have a life (and for the most part I don't) But turning 21 and taking a road trip have put this blog on the back burner for a week, and with the start of Spring Practice my free time is gone. So being 21 has been pretty tight. I have only been to two bars; one on my birthday and the other on Thursday night. Hardtimes on my birthday was a night I will never forget. Mama and Papa Moorhead came out also. While mother Moorhead was interrogating my roommate Sean on my girl life (I don't know why, there is no such thing); my Dad and I went shot for shot with each other....gooood times.

So as most of you kids know I have this thing for the Olympics sport of Skeleton. The top sliders (yes they call themselves sliders) start at the top of an icy track and slide down face first at 75 mph, I don't know but it is a lot harder than it looks. So mi amigo John and my car Sassquatch (yea I named my car, got beef with that?) took the 8 hour drive to Lake Placid, NY the closet track (the only other place do it is in Utah). Lake Placid hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1980; It is an awesome little resort town nestled by the Canadian Boarder. The people are nice and there was so much going on. While we were there they were hosting the D3 Hockey Final Four, US Alpine Skiing Championships, and a Junior Hockey Tournament called the CanAm. John and I made up this story to everyone we meet that we were members of the Maryland State Bobsled Team there for more training....oh yea they believed us, but apparently like being a kicker, being a bobsledder doesn't win over to many ladies. The Skeleton was awesome, besides leaving some blood on the track, and only starting from halfway up it was great. I got invited back for a 3 day camp next year. So I am totally going...who knows where this could lead me! (Haters.....eat shit).

So besides practice and school work this week, it has been a week of bro dates with my boys. First, I reunited my KICKSQAD (No I didn't spell squad wrong) buds (Sean and Cory) this week at practice. I missed those little guys, we went on our usually Friday activity; which consists of going to a womens sporting event followed by Chipotle, which sucked cause it was Friday and I couldn't eat meat. Since our favorite sport is Volleyball and they play in the fall we had to settle with womens lax (eh, better than softball). My other two roomies Mike and Matt went home for the weekend; so Sean (not the kicker one) and I had a weekend long bro date. Pretty much good times.

Alright kids I won't bore you anymore, I'm out.
