So what’s up everyone? This is the first post of the brand spankin’ new – “Frapps with Nick” section of Cold Coffee. Just wanted to let you all know this will be a biweekly occurrence, I’ll be posting on here every other Thursday. It will include songs, stories, poetry and a whole mess of other things. This should help add some new spunk to the blog for the spring and summer. To give you a taste of my kind of stories, I give you the following.

To understand this story, you’ll first need to understand my morning routine. I get woken up, well get screamed at and forced to get out of bed at 7:15ish. At about 7:20 I wake up, stumble around the house getting dressed for school, brushing my teeth and eating; leading up to me getting out of the door by about 7:45. By the time I get to school it’s about 7:55. School begins at 8 and classes begin at 8:10.

This story takes place during Math (Period 2) at about 9:10 in the morning. I (still completely drained from the previous night’s sleep) was “resting my eyes” in math class. That period I really didn’t feel like learning about parabolas and vertexes, the only thing I had on my mind was sleep. I had awoken from a slight jostle on my desk due to my teacher Mr. K putting a worksheet on my desk and continued to hit my desk to wake me up.

Mr. K: Nick, wake the hell up. What do you think this is?
Me: Uh, Math class. Did we go somewhere else?
Mr. K: (now agitated due to my sarcasm) Pick your head up now and do that worksheet.
Me: Ok, No problem. (Signed my name to the worksheet and put my head back down on the desk)
Mr. K: Did you not understand my directions. I said wake up, pick up your head or go to the principal’s office.
Me: Will he let me sleep?
Mr. K: (even more agitated) Just do the damn worksheet.

I finally got bored of arguing with my math teacher and decided to try to get this worksheet completed so I could continue my morning nap. I took a glance across the room and discovered he was glaring at me. I looked back at my paper and continued on it. While reading it, I realized that the last five or ten questions where questions on finding angles, asking “Find X”.

I, being sarcastic and quite annoyed (he woke me up twice, and I was exhausted. Wouldn’t you be pretty pissed?) was trying to scheme up an idea to frustrate Mr. K. It finally came to me; I circled the x in each question then continued by writing “Aye, look I found it”. I put the paper on the top left of my desk and put my head back down. Mr. K realizing I was completed walked over to my desk and grabbed the paper.

Mr. K: What the hell is this?
Me: The paper you woke me up to do.
Mr. K: Oh, whatever just go back to sleep.
Me: Thank you, I will.

I’m pretty sure he just quit because he was too tired to deal with me being a pain in the ass so early in the morning. I felt like I did my job, and went back to sleep. The next day, I found out that I received a 0 for that day. I could have just slept the entire period if I was going to get a 0, right?

Along with the occasional story and poem on the blog, I will also be having an “Ask Nick” section. Leave a comment below with any question you wish to be answered (remember, I’m chill but the superior is more strict so watch the contents) and I’ll try to answer as soon as possible with a pleasant, helpful answer.

Included in my posts, I intend to also share some music with my fellow readers. I will include a “Music Video from Nick” every post. This week’s “Music Video from Nick” is The Pretender by The Foo Fighters. I first heard this song while watching an awards show. I thought this song was completely badass and a change from what the Foo Fighters usually sound like. Hopefully, they keep up the new sound.

Hope you all enjoyed the new spin on the blog, and hope you all continue to enjoy your frapps with Nick.
