Zach Facts

I was thinking about some of the peculiar things that I do and I decided that I would share some of the things that most people do not know about me. Here are some fun facts, enjoy!


My taste buds are not all that great as I have terrible air ways, allergies, and I have broken my nose 3times. So breathing out of my nose is non-existent. This makes me a mouth breather and heavy snorer at night! I also get overpowered by certain tastes as they come in stronger than all others..... I cannot stand Fish or Mint, I also dislike cinnamon (but there are exceptions in small doses).

I find Sour Cream to be incredibly revolting. When I was first exposed to it was used as a food adhesive to hold tacos together and that appalled me! It was used as a food paste.... so gross. SO now I refuse to eat it.

I also thought that the cockroach infested restaurant in the beginning of the movie was Taco Bell (in reality it was a Italian restaurant) so now I have spent an entire life time only eating there a handful of times.

I over-heat easily so I can only handle a hottub for a short amount of time with my feet in and I sweat really easily. I was build for colder climates.

I hate being sticky!

If the seat is down on the toilet and I have to pee I never put it up... I am not sure if it is laziness that I just do not want to put the seat up and then back down, or if it is that I am that confident in my aiming abilities.

Growing up I have always really enjoyed journaling and I actually keep 3 journals. On top of that I have become obsessed with to do lists and get an incredible amount of satisfaction in crossing off things on that list. I almost fixate on it at times. Writing plays a big role in my leisure time as I maintain this blog, write my inner thoughts, and I have actually written a children's book!

I feel that in my old age I am having impulse control issues as I want to screech in public places really loudly!

Currently I have been rereading all of the books termed as classics by our junior high and high school teachers. All of the lessons, morals, and depth that they wanted us to take out of these books that I skimmed over before are now being sought out and explored.

My musical taste varies but I find that I am primarily interested in 60s groups (Jersey Boys, etc.) and Alternative/Indie music.

I am strangely obsessed with cows and babies. When I get some land and a house I am going to get a cow named Toby!

My favorite smell is the smell of bonfires! After a nice fire I roll around in my sheets so that I can bask in it all week.

Hammocks, Christmas music, and sunlight are on my top 5 of things that make me happiest in life.

I usually dream about trying to save someone from harm and end up getting beat up in the process.

The Crossfit Movement

Image
Well, it has happened. I have officially joined the crossfit cult. My entrance into the movement has been a unique and exciting experience. Before I entertain you with the epic tale that is my crossfit experience, I need to give you some background. I was a college football player and I loved to compete. Working out and training has been a large part of my life and after college I was finding that workouts were not the same. I did not find the same satisfaction, motivation, results, or enjoyment in carrying out my SOLO-flex workouts. A large amount of my drive comes from competing with those around me and the community feel- of training as a team. I had lifting partners, I tried a couple of group workout classes, I dabbled in boxing, and they all were enjoyable... but not lasting. My girlfriend (who was a friend at the time.. long and fun story...she is amazing) showed me her crossfit gym and I loved it! Sadly, work travels and a 3-month road trip took me away from crossfit, BUT upon m...

The Tides of Change

Every year, around the holiday season, everyone plans and sets goals for themselves to be a better version of themselves. To spend the next year growing and honing in on different goals/achievements. Often times trying to create new habits or living styles. Ultimately a great deal of these resolutions fail, because the discipline is not there, or maybe someone shot too far out. Making an unrealistic goal for themselves. If you never have exercised in your life do not say that your goal is to workout 7 days a week. That is unrealistic. Rather, I say take these changes one step at a time. Make them measurable. Give yourself check in points. 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, etc. Everyone wants to grow and evolve. However, everyone likes to keep things familiar or make excuses why they can't achieve their goals as an attempt to rationalize. With all of this in mind I have really been thinking on what this last year presented me with and who I want to become in 2018...

Deep Thought

I can feel the tides of change coming to me. There are opportunities that are presenting themselves to me. Within this year alone I have flown on a plane and traveled more (in terms of trips/year) than any other time in my life. I have lived out of state for a summer, traveled to Chicago a handful of times, lived in Texas for 6 weeks, spent 9 days in Amsterdam (visiting Europe for the first time), traveled to Kansas City for 2 weeks, and I am currently gearing up to travel for an ENTIRE summer! There is also some potential for me to live in Washington for 3 weeks (while working), as well as, a chance at farming in Thailand for 2 weeks. There are so many opportunities in life and I want to take hold and grasp as many as I can while I am given this chance. With all of that being said, there is also a great strain in terms of finances for these trips.... while also paying a massive amount of bills at home. So in the back of my mind as I travel I find myself coming back to these worr...
