I'm extremely excited to announce that I've started a tumblr page!
You'll find exclusive info on my stories and sneak-peaks for
upcoming chapters, as well as a place where you can learn a little more
about me and ask me any questions you may have wanted to ask me since
you've been reading my stories. I'll also be writing some shorter exclusive
stories and sharing them there if you're looking to whet your appetite.
As long as you guys are interested in reading more, I'll keep
writing. You just have to let me know you're out there! You might not
believe me, but just hearing from one or two of you guys really makes my
day and makes me want to keep writing even more. Keeping a story like this
going after 33+ chapters is hard work, but as long as there are people out
there who are still getting something out of it, I want to keep going.
Chapter 34
All throughout practice the next day I tried to stay away from Jason
Foster. I had lied straight to his face when he asked about Brad and Coach
Jackson and I was a bad liar. As much as I liked that tight hole of his
around my cock, I couldn't risk outing Brad and Coach Jackson. Coach
sleeping with one of his athletes could have serious consequences, even if
Brad was over 18.
I was changing out of my gear with Brad when Jason walked over to his
locker. Brad stared him down as the all-American pretty boy stepped out of
his pads.
"Be right back, Ollie." Brad said as he stood up.
"Brad, what are you-"
"Relax, Ollie."
I watched nervously as Brad walked over to him, running through the
possible scenarios in my head. Was he going to hit him or something?
"Hey Jase." Brad said, sitting down on the bench next to him.
"Hey Brad." Jason gulped, looking his former best friend and one-time fuck
buddy in the eye.
"I heard you had some questions about me." Brad said simply.
"Look man, I'm sorry, it was just some stupid thing I had in my head,
honestly I-" "It's not stupid, it's true."
"W-what?" Jason stuttered.
"I am fucking Coach Jackson."
Jason's eyes widened and he looked down at his feet. "Shit, man."
"So what happens now, Jase?"
"What do you mean?"
"So you know I'm fucking Coach Jackson. Are you going to snitch on us or
"What? Of course not, man."
Brad breathed a little easier. "Well. . . thanks. I guess." For the first
time in a long he was able to smile at the guy he used to call his best
"Look, Brad, about what happened with us. . ."
"You don't need to explain yourself, Jase, I get it. You're in love."
"What, me and Ollie?" Jason laughed. "No, we're just fucking."
"Not Ollie, you doofus, I mean your girlfriend." Brad laughed before
pausing. "Wait. . . What's going on with you and Ollie?"
They both turned to me and even though I couldn't quite make out what they
were saying, I knew the jig was up.
I slowly made my way over toward the two of them, scratching the back of my
neck, blushing.
"You sneaky little bastard. . ." Brad laughed, smiling at me. "You and
"Sorry man." I shrugged apologetically. "I promised him I wouldn't tell
you. I really, really wanted to."
"You don't have to apologize for one thing, brother. I know what it's like
fucking someone you can't tell anyone about." He smirked. "So how long has
this thing been going on?"
"About a week, I guess." Jason blushed. "Ever since I broke up with
"And so you just hopped right back on that big black cock and started
making up for lost time?" Brad laughed.
"Well. . . Yeah, I guess." Jason blushed again. "Actually, I uh. . ." Jason
mumbled. "I wouldn't mind a swing on what you've got under here." He said,
patting Brad's briefs. "You know. For old time's sake."
"I always knew you'd be back, Jase." Brad grinned, getting up. "What do you
say we come over later this weekend for some fun." He looked at me. "Ollie
and I will make sure that tight jock hole of yours gets treated right."
"Fuck. . ." Jason mumbled, standing up and extending his arm out for a
shake. "I can't believe the three of us are back at it."
"Back and better than ever, Jase." Brad grinned. "You'd be surprised all
the new stuff Ollie and I have learned since you've been away. . . Hope
you'll be able to handle us."
"Sounds like fun, guys." Jason winked, throwing his shirt over his head and
shutting his locker.
On Friday afternoon Dan Jackson slammed his truck door as he marched up the
steps to the Williams household for the second time in a week,
frustrated. He brought his phone to his ear and redialed again, cursing as
it went to voicemail again.
"Damnit Williams. . ." Coach Jackson muttered as his hand went inside his
pants and rubbed his rock-hard cock, frustrated.
He rang the doorbell urgently, tapping his foot.
"Mike?" He called out.
No answer. He went around back to the patio hoping for any sign of life,
but it too was empty.
"Anybody home?" He shouted, cupping his hands to his lips to amplify his
voice. "Fuck, what do I have to do to get some fucking dick around here?"
He muttered, stepping up to the patio door.
He knocked on the glass, frustrated. "Christ, my cunt's so fucking wet for
it, I could sit on a fucking traffic cone." His dick throbbed at the
"Mike! Africa! Williams! Seriously! If you've got a fucking pulse, you're
getting laid! No questions asked!" He yelled, circling back to the
Still no answer.
The erection in the man's shorts was almost excruciatingly hard. "DAMNIT!"
He yelled, punching the side of his truck with his mighty, muscled arm,
leaving what was sure to be a permanent dent in the side of the car. "WHY
"God I've missed this jock hole. . ." Brad said under his breath as he
pushed his tongue through Jason's opening, sprawled out on my bed.
Jason groaned as Brad's tongue entered him, grabbing the sheets in
ecstasy. It was a hot sight to behold, watching these two all-American
jocks going at it. But I had to admit, my eyes kept wondering back to
Brad's ass, and how perfect and inviting that tight jock hole was.
Brad turned back to me. "You know what would just be the icing on the cake,
"What?" I asked, trying not to seem to eager.
"If you gave me a rimjob while I ate Jason out." Brad replied with a grin.
Oh fuck yes.
"Spread those cheeks then, boy." I laughed, slapping his ass cheek audibly.
He reached behind him and spread his cheeks for me, inviting me in. That
perfect, tight jock hole awaiting me.
I positioned myself right behind him and didn't waste any time. There was
no time for foreplay. I was going to spend as much time in Brad Williams's
ass as possible.
"Oh fuck, Ollie." He groaned as my tongue entered him. I could hear Jason
moan in front of him as Brad seemed to copy what I was doing to him onto
I slowly licked up and down his crevice, teasing my tongue in and out every
so often, coaxing it open.
"Goddamn that's good brother. Fuck." He groaned.
It was still impossibly tight. Tantalizingly tight.
"You sure that beer-can cock Coach Jackson's working with has been up here,
brother?" I asked, spanking his ass hard.
"Just the one time." He laughed, leaning his head down and groaning as my
tongue entered him again. "Trust me, I've got the rearranged organs to
prove it."
"Fuck, you're just so fucking tight." I mumbled, licking up and down his
"Don't be getting any ideas, man." Brad teased me, pushing back on my
tongue. "I know all the moves to try and get some guy to give it up. . ."
"Man, I can sure see why Coach Jackson put up such a fight to get in this
ass." I said, marveling at its sheer perfection.
Brad leaned up, his back to me, turning his head to kiss me. "Sorry man."
He said, lapping at my tongue. "It's not gonna happen."
I pushed him back down and continued my assault with my tongue. "Then at
least let me treat it right with the best rimjob of your life."
"Now that, you can do." He grinned, going to town on Jason's meaty ass in
front of him.
"Oh fuck! FUCK! FUUUCK!!" Jason yelled as I pummeled into him hard while
Brad shoved his cock down his throat. He was furiously jacking himself off
as I railed into him and he started shooting his third load of the
afternoon all over his chest and abs, a glazed look on his face.
I was just about to go for my own nut when the distraction of Brad's phone
ringing again brought me out of it.
"Brad, seriously, go answer your phone." I said, wiping my brow. "That's
like the fifth time man."
Brad looked conflicted as he stared down at the soft, velvety throat
currently wrapped around his cock but decided to take my advice, sighing as
he sauntered over to his phone.
"Uh oh. . . This should be good. . ." He muttered as he read the
notifications. He called whoever it was back and pressed the speaker
The line clicked on the other end and Coach Jackson's low, gravely tone
sounded from the speaker. "Not one fucking word, Williams."
"Sorry Coach, I was tied up-" Brad began before he was interrupted.
"What the fuck did I just say?" Coach Jackson interjected, commandingly.
He paused, and Brad kept his mouth shut, obediently.
"Williams, you're going to keep that mouth shut until I give you permission
to speak, are we clear?"
Again, Brad said nothing.
"Good boy." Coach Jackson smirked through the phone. "Now listen to me and
do exactly the fuck I say. I'm not asking, I'm telling, Williams. I don't
give a shit where the fuck you are. I don't give a shit who the fuck you're
with." Jason and I looked at each other, gulping. "You will get into your
car. You will drive home. You will walk me inside. You will not fucking
open your mouth. You are going to take me up to your room and you are going
to fuck the shit out of me. I don't want any bullshit. I don't want any
attitude You are just there to provide the dick and get me off, like the
pretty boy jock dildo you are. Now is there anything I just said that isn't
fucking clear, Williams? If not, you will nod that pretty little head of
yours and say 'yes sir'. Nothing more."
Brad stared down at the floor, conflicted. I knew he hated being told what
to do, especially like this, but I could also tell he was extremely turned
"Yes sir." He muttered, begrudgingly.
"That's a good boy." Coach Jackson smirked through the phone again. "Now
how about a 'thank you for letting me have your pussy, sir'?"
Brad shifted in his stance. "Thank you for letting me have your pussy,
Coach Jackson sniggered through the phone. "Don't keep me waiting,
Chapter 35
When Brad Williams pulled up to the driveway Coach Jackson was
sitting on the front steps sprawled back, a satisfied look on his face.
Neither one of them said anything as Brad unlocked the front door,
sizing the other up with a smirk.
Coach Jackson followed him upstairs and the second they walked
through his bedroom door, he pinned him up against it, thrusting his tongue
into his mouth as he guided his athlete's hands through his signature
slutty wind-shorts, teasing his hole.
"Fuck Williams." Coach Jackson huffed as they made out. "You've got
me so hot for it."
Brad thought about replying, but remembered his orders. He was to
keep his pretty little mouth shut.
"You feel how wet my cunt is for that jock dick?" Coach Jackson
groaned, biting his athlete's lip and grabbing his cock with a
squeeze. "You're gonna fuck me until I'm satisfied, understand?" He lapped
at his tongue and moaned. "You make me shoot my load and you just keep
going, are we clear?"
Brad nodded his head, slipping his finger into his superior's
"Fuck. . ." Coach Jackson groaned, reaching up and rubbing his
nipple. "Gotta have it, Williams. I can't wait anymore." He slipped his
shorts down and dragged his athlete to the mattress, throwing him down on
it and shoving his pants off before squatting over him, leaning down to
kiss him.
He reached over to the bedside table and retrieved the lube,
slicking up his athlete's cock and his hole, his own cock throbbing with
his heartbeat he was so hot for it.
He brought the fat jock cock he craved so much to his opening and
sank down on it, inch by inch.
"Fuuuuuuck. . . " He moaned, lapping at his athlete's tongue.
"Fuck Coach!" Brad groaned, throwing his head back in pleasure as
he entered him.
"I thought I told you to keep your fucking mouth shut, Williams."
Coach Jackson grunted, swatting his cheek with his palm, as he slammed his
muscle ass down on his cock.
Brad looked up at him, seething mad but incredibly turned on.
"Yeah, that's it, kid." Coach Jackson smirked. "You just sit there
and look pretty while I sit on that cock of yours and use you to get off."
His beer-can cock throbbed against his concrete abs as he sank down
as far as he could go, throwing his head back in ecstasy. "Goddamn, that's
He slammed his ass down hard, giving his rock-hard cock another
jolt and couldn't wait any longer. "Fuck, Williams, you're gonna bring me
off already. FUCK!!" He brought his hand to his flared cock head and jacked
himself off with powerful strokes. He ground his ass down as far as it
would go, giving his prostate as much stimulation as possible before he
looked down at his fucker with an evil glint in his eye. At the very last
second, he aimed his cock down at his athlete, roaring as his orgasm
approached, before he erupted, shooting all over Brad Williams's face with
his thick, heavy load.
"What the-!" Brad shouted, instinctively blocking his face with his
arm as his hulking superior continued shooting all over him.
Coach Jackson easily pinned him down with one arm as he kept
jacking himself off, shot after shot landing on his athlete's face and
Brad looked up at him, angrily, wiping his face, breathing in and
out heavily.
"Jesus Williams, you're fuckin' soaked!" Coach Jackson panted,
"Get off of me, Coach." Brad slapped his ass, not able to hide a
slight grin.
"Oh, we're just getting started here, kid." Coach Jackson shook his
head, holding him in place, leaning down to lick some of his load off of
his athlete's face. He brought his tongue to his athlete's lips and kissed
him softly.
He slapped his still rock-hard cock against his fucker's abs as he
made out with him. "No, you're gonna keep fucking me until I say I'm
finished with you, kid."
They made out with each other hungrily as Coach Jackson continued
to rock back and forth on his athlete's cock.
"Roll over, Coach." Brad said, breaking away from his lips. "I'm
gonna fuck the shit out of you."
"Yeah, Williams?" Coach Jackson smirked, kissing him. "You think
you can fuck me like I want it?"
"On your back." He ordered him, staring him down.
"Aw fuck yeah, Williams." Coach Jackson groaned, finally rolling
off of him and onto his back, spreading his legs.
Brad knelt over him, spanking his ass hard and leaning down to make
out with him.
"You've got some balls, Coach." Brad said, tapping his cock against
his superior's opening.
"What about you, Williams?" Coach Jackson replied, pulling at his
lip with his teeth. "You gonna show me you've got balls too?"
Brad reached down and grabbed the beer-can cock jutting from Coach
Jackson. "How many more loads do you think I can get out of you, Coach?"
"I think you'll be the judge of that, kid. You keep fucking me
until I give you permission to stop, understand?"
"Whatever you say, Coach." Brad replied, slipping the head in and
out of his superior's opening, teasing him. "I guess I can let you pretend
you're the boss today."
"Cocky fucker. . ." Coach Jackson smirked, grabbing the back of his
athlete's hips and fully impaling himself on his thick jock cock. "One of
these days you'll finally get it. I'm the boss every fucking day,
Coach Jackson gave a satisfied sigh as he patted his athlete's abs proudly,
staring up at the ceiling. "You know Williams, you really piss me off
sometimes but you sure as hell always deliver a top notch fuck. Every
goddamn time. You're lucky you're worth all the trouble."
"See Coach, I'll always make sure you're taken care of." Brad
replied with a cocky grin. "There's plenty of Brad Williams to keep
everyone satisfied. You don't need to worry about Greg Foster or any of the
other dudes I'm fucking."
"Ugh, there you go again with Greg fucking Foster." Coach Jackson
rolled his eyes.
"Wait, don't tell me. . ." Brad trailed off.
"You're not. . . jealous are you, Coach?" Brad grinned.
"Fuck off, Williams, you know I don't do that shit." Coach Jackson
retorted, defensively. "I don't get jealous, okay? It's just. . ."
"Yeah, Coach?"
"It's just. . ." Coach Jackson fumbled around, trying to find the
right words to say. " It's just-" He brought his athlete's hand to his
hole, where his cum was still dripping out of it. "I want it to be my pussy
you're after. . . Not Greg Foster's." His face turned red.
"Holy shit, Coach, you really are jealous." Brad sat up, loving
"Shut it, Williams, I'm not fucking jealous." Coach Jackson
grunted, clearly embarrassed. "I don't get jealous."
"Okay, I think I get it." Brad said. "You're not jealous. . . You
just know that I've been fucking another guy on the regular and you want it
to be you I'm fucking instead."
"Right." Coach Jackson nodded.
"Jesus you're stubborn." Brad laughed, slapping the man's shoulder
playfully. "What's the matter Coach, are you not getting it enough lately?"
"With you and your constant need to get your fucking balls drained?
Please, Williams." Coach Jackson scoffed., crossing his arms.
"Then what is it, Coach?"
"I don't know . . Shit, Williams, you've got me thinking like a
fucking chick."
"You're not a chick, Coach." Brad insisted, grabbing the man's
giant prick.
"I don't know, Williams. I just think about you putting the moves
on some poor sucker. Getting them to put out for you. Like you get me to
put out for you. And. . . "
"Yeah, Coach?"
"It really fucking turns me on." Coach Jackson grinned, slipping
his finger down to his hole to play with it.
"So then what's the deal, Coach? If you're fine with us fucking
around then what are you saying?"
Coach Jackson sighed. "Look Williams, I'm not gonna try and compete
with a guy like Greg Foster. Where you say the word and he'll drop whatever
the fuck he's doing and lift his legs for you, no questions asked. That's
just not me. With me, you earn it. I make you work for this hole. And
that's the way it's always gonna be. With me, every time you get me to give
it up, you know you earned it."
"You don't think I know that, Coach?" Brad laughed. "You know that
guy offered to pay me to suck my cock? No shit, 200 bucks a pop. And that
was just his starting offer."
"Jesus, as if Brad Williams needed anything else stroking his
fucking ego. . ." Coach Jackson muttered, shaking his head laughing.
"I told him no, obviously."
"Damnit Williams, you really are a moron, you know that?"
"I don't fuck people for money, Coach."
"Beats me why the hell not." Coach Jackson laughed. "As much as I
hate giving you compliments, you sure know how to fuck."
"I don't know why you're so into this idea, Coach. Between all the
times I've let you suck me off or fucked you over these past few months
you've worked yourself up quite the tab. . ." Brad grinned.
"Uh huh. . . And I don't suppose offering you my ass is fair for
calling it even?" Coach Jackson grinned back at him.
"Sorry, Coach. That's not the way this works."
"So what do you say you keep fucking me for free and swindle this
cocksucking billionaire for all he's fucking worth?" Coach Jackson smirked,
bringing his finger to his hole and collecting some leftover cum, sucking
on it.
"Sorry, Coach." Brad laughed. "You're going to have to think of
some other 'get rich quick' scheme, I guess."
"Ah, you big softie. . ." Coach Jackson smiled, punching him
playfully on the shoulder. "Just as well, I guess. I couldn't handle that
fucking ego of yours knowing you can get dudes to pay you to give you
something you should be fucking grateful for getting in the first place."
"Just admit it, Coach. . ." Brad smiled back, wrapping his arm
around the giant man and hugging him close. "You missed me this week."
"Cut it out, Williams, you already know I fucking love
you. . . It's the liking you part that's a real pain in my ass."
"I guess I can live with that." Brad laughed.
"Well we know one thing's for sure though."
"Yeah, what's that, Coach?"
"I turn into a real nasty piece of work if I haven't gotten fucked
in a while." He grinned.
"Yeah, I guess that's something I'll have to watch out for." Brad
"Fuck, another day or two without a dick up my cunt and I might
have turned into the incredible hulk." He flexed.
"You're already the incredible hulk, you big doofus." Brad laughed,
running his hands over the man's gigantic muscles.
"Yeah, well do you want to find out what the incredible hulk is
like when he hasn't gotten laid in a while?" Coach Jackson smirked at him.
"Fuck no." Brad laughed. "For the sake of humanity I'll make sure
this pussy is well fucked." He said, rubbing the giant man's opening and
slipping a few fingers inside.
"Not if you're spending all your time fucking Greg Foster you
won't. . ." Coach Jackson retorted, a little peeved.
"Hey." Brad said softly, leaning up and kissing the giant man on the
lips. "If I was satisfied with a guy like Greg Foster do you really think
I'd be here right now with you?"
Coach Jackson blushed a little, as much as he hated showing any
sign of affection whatsoever. "Well good." He said, stiffly. "Just wanted
to make that clear. I know what it's like being a horny 18 year-old with
access to pussy whenever he wants it. . ." He muttered. "I'm not gonna
compete with that, kid."
Brad leaned in and kissed him gently. "Having a yes-man in your
pocket is nice but no one turns me on like you do, Coach." He kissed up and
down the man's neck and nibbled at his ear. "I like that you make me work
for it, Coach."
"Yeah, well good because no one's gonna put up with all your shit
like I do, Williams, so remember that." Coach Jackson pulled at his lip
playfully. "Even Greg Foster has his limits." He brought his athlete's
hands down to his ass, letting him good a good feel at what he had to
offer. "I just want to be your number 1. You can fuck other guys as much as
you want, but when I want it you stop what you're doing and give it to me,
"Yeah, I get it, Coach."
"I don't care if you're balls deep in the tightest hole you've ever
had, Williams. I call, you pull out. That's my load."
Their kissing intensified as they got more and more turned on.
"You got it."
"Fuck Williams, I want it again."
"Right now, Coach?"
"Right now." Coach Jackson huffed, lifting his mighty calf up and
guiding his athlete's cock back to his already used hole.
The next few weeks seemed to crawl by like molasses as Brad and I
waited to hear back from colleges. I hadn't started to panic until the
other guys on the team began hearing back, high fiving each other for which
schools they got into whenever they heard the news. At one point it seemed
like Brad and I were the last ones left to receive anything back from our
applications. And it's not that I had gotten in to all my safety schools
and was just waiting on my application to USC. . . I hadn't heard from
anything. My grades were good. Outstanding even. So what was taking so
As for Brad, he wasn't exactly sweating it. He had viewed USC as a
long-shot for him, so he had just decided whatever happens, happens. . . An
attitude Coach Jackson wasn't particularly fond of.
"Damnit Williams." Coach Jackson cursed over dinner with the four
of us one evening as we discussed the college situations. "This is your
college career we're talking about. You know, having a pretty face can only
get you so far in the real world. I'll be damned if you don't start taking
this shit seriously."
"Wow, Dan." Mr. Williams smiled from across the table. "I've never
seen you like this."
"Yeah, well I care about him, the prick." He blushed, looking his
athlete over. "I want him to have every opportunity he deserves."
Brad picked at his food with his fork, moodily. "It's no use
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Williams?"
"Look Coach, I just don't see the point in getting my hopes up,
alright?" Brad fired back, defensively. "I didn't make straight A's like
Ollie did, okay? So I can throw around a football. . . who cares in the
long run? I'm just some stupid jock who doesn't belong at a place like
"Brad, don't say that." I said, trying to comfort him.
"Why not?" He fired back. "We knew it was going to happen
eventually, right? I mean, things were just going too well, weren't they?
You, me, Dad, and Coach. We all knew it couldn't last forever." Tears were
starting to form in his eyes. "18 years of my life, all I wanted was a
brother. . ." His voice started shaking. "And then- and then I finally got
one, and. . ."
"What, Brad?"
"I finally got one and it's. . . it's all gonna end."
"What do you mean it's all going to end?" I asked him.
"I'm- I'm not smart like you, Ollie. I was never going to get in at
a place like USC. They don't take in stupid jocks like me."
"Hey." Coach Jackson said sternly. "Look at me, kid."
Brad stared down at his plate, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Look at me." Coach Jackson repeated. Brad finally complied, wiping his
eyes. "You are not fucking stupid." He said seriously, looking him right
in the eye.
Mr. Williams breathed in emotionally as he watched the two of them.
Coach Jackson brought his head close to his athlete to the point they were
almost touching.
"You, Brad Williams, are not fucking stupid. You understand me?"
Brad looked away, tears welling up.
"Are you a moron a lot of the time? Hell yeah. But you are not stupid."
For once Brad managed to laugh a little, wiping his eyes.
"Williams, you know me. Hell, you know me probably better than anyone else
on this fucking planet. Do you think I'm scared to tell you things you
don't want to hear?"
"Fuck no." Brad laughed, breathing a little easier.
"When you fuck up, do I shy away from it or do I say it to your fucking
face and let you know you fucked up and that I expect better from you?"
"Oh you tell me alright. . ."
"And when you're being a complete fucking moron. Do I care about sparing
your feelings or any of that bullshit or do I tell you you're being a
fucking moron?"
"You tell me I'm being a fucking moron." Brad answered him.
"Exactly. So when I tell you that you are not fucking stupid, then you are
not fucking stupid Not by a long shot. I'll be damned if you're gonna sit
here feeling sorry for yourself when you're headed for greatness. I expect
perfection from all my athletes, but with you, it's fucking inevitable."
Brad looked away from him, so overwhelmed with the praise he was getting.
"Look at me, Williams." Coach Jackson turned his athlete's head toward him
again. "Hey." He muttered, staring deep into his eyes. "You are more than
just a good fuck." He said, pointing at him with extra emphasis on the word
'you'. "And that's saying something, because you're a pretty fantastic
Brad grinned, turning red in the face. "Someone's watched too many of those
inspiring speeches from the locker room in movies, Coach." He laughed.
"I meant every word I said, Williams. You know damn well I couldn't care
less about sparing your feelings." He turned to the rest of us and stood
up, taking his plate to the sink. "Later, fellas. Got shit to do."
"Come here, Dan." Mr. Williams said, getting up. He opened his arms and the
two of them embraced in a big, fraternal bear hug. "Thank you." He said
into his ear, patting him on the back.
"Don't mention it, Mike." Coach Jackson replied. "I love that kid."
The next morning when Brad and I headed downstairs for breakfast, we were
surprised to find Coach Jackson and Mr. Williams at the kitchen table, a
pot of coffee between the two of them.
"It's about fucking time, sleepy-heads." Coach Jackson smirked at us as we
sat down. "Mike and I had a nice, long talk this morning."
"What about?" Brad asked, spooning some eggs and oatmeal on his plate.
"The head coach at USC is an old buddy of mine." Coach Jackson said,
crossing his arms. "Every year or so he has me bring in my best athlete to
see if they have what it takes to be a part of his team."
"You're shitting me, Coach." Brad gasped, his mouth open.
"Dead serious. To be honest I kind of wanted to act like it was my doing so
you'd owe me big time, but this was all you, kid. He actually asked for you
by name."
"The head coach. . . asked for. . . me?"
"You bet your ass he did, kid. It's his job to be aware of who the big
names are."
"So what does this mean?" I interjected, feeling excited for him.
"Well, Dan and I were talking." Mr. Williams replied, straightening up in
his seat. "He mentioned it to me a couple of weeks ago that he wanted to
take you down to USC to introduce you to this guy, but I kind of was
looking forward to taking you there myself. I was really looking forward to
that trip, you know? Just you and me, son. Looking at colleges."
"Me too, Dad."
"But Dan sat me down and really explained to me that this would be an
amazing opportunity for you. Especially with him having an in with the head
"So what's happening then?" I asked.
Coach Jackson pulled a couple of plane tickets from his pocket and tossed
them across the table to Brad. "You and I are taking a trip, kid." He
smiled. "God help me."
"No way!" Brad exclaimed, looking at his and Coach Jackson's plane tickets.
"This is a business trip, Williams. Not a pleasure trip. Understand me?"
"Of course, Coach, I-" He paused. "Well. . . I mean, won't there be a
little pleasure? You know. . . You, me. . . nice hotel room. . . "
"Jesus, the day this kid thinks about anything other than getting
laid. . ." Coach Jackson laughed. "I tell you what, Williams. You manage to
get through a whole weekend doing exactly as I say and not fuck this up,
then sure. . . I guess there can be a little pleasure involved. When I see
The complete turn-around on Brad's face from last night was so refreshing
to see.
"Congratulations brother." I smiled, hugging him. "Really. This is your
"I know, man." He smiled back at me. "Fuck, could you imagine? Us being
together through college?"
"You've got to make this happen, Brad."
"I will, brother." A sly grin spread across his face. "How much you wanna
bet I can get Coach Jackson to put out on the plane? It's about time I
joined the mile high club, you know?"
"Fucking 18 year-olds. . ." Coach Jackson sighed. cupping his face in his
hands. "Christ Mike. I've really got my fucking work cut out for me this
weekend, haven't I?"
"You get my kid into USC and I'll owe you, Dan." Mr. Williams smiled,
patting his shoulder.
"Yeah. . . Coach Jackson muttered. "Assuming I don't ring his fucking neck
- "A whole weekend just the two of us. . ."
I smiled, getting into bed with Mr. Williams later that night, rubbing his
chest. "I say we spend it in bed, what do you think, sexy?" I leaned in to
kiss him as I felt him up.
"God, that sounds amazing, Ollie." He grinned, kissing me back. "You may
want to hold that thought, though. . ." He teased me, reaching under the
covers to pull out an envelope.
"Is- is that?" I stammered, my heart beating fast.
"Uh huh." He grinned. "I found it in the mail just before I came up here
for bed."
I could see the USC crest on the front and everything. "It's thick." He
beamed, handing it to me.
"D-does that mean. . .?"
"Open it and see, Ollie."
I held it in my hands for a moment before I opened it. This could be it. My
final obstacle in getting to stay here in the United States for another
four years. A reflection of not only all the hard work I had done this year
to maintain my GPA, but all of my hard work to get here in the first
place. All my years of schooling had come to this final moment. Would I get
to stay here? With Mr. Williams? With my brother? Could this finally be the
answer I had been waiting for?
But wait. What if this was the answer, and the answer was just no?
What if this little envelope was the deciding force that sent me back to
Africa? What if-
Mr. Williams looked at me, love in his eyes, and I couldn't prolong
it any longer.
With a deep breath I tore it open and spread open the first page on
my lap. My eyes darted across the page.
"Well. . .?" He pressed, nervously.
"I got in." I said, almost out of breath.
"You got in?" He asked, leaning up, excited.
"I got in!"
"You got in!"
"I GOT IN!" I exclaimed, a huge grin on my face.
"YOU GOT IN!" He yelled, bringing my lips to his and kissing me.
At that moment the bedroom door opened and Brad stood there,
toothbrush in hand and tooth paste running down the side of his mouth.
"What's going on, guys?"
"I got in!" I yelled, holding up the envelope excitedly.
"You got in?" Brad beamed, running up to hug me. "Ollie, you got
"I got in!" I beamed, holding the love of my life in one arm and my
brother in the other. I had never been happier in my entire life than this
very moment. Knowing these two guys would be permanent fixtures in my life.
"Does this mean you can come with Coach and me to look at the
campus this weekend?" Brad asked, turning to his dad.
"Of course, son, I'll buy his ticket first thing in the morning."
"Just one?" I looked at him, batting my eyes.
"Oh I don't know, Ollie, I really have a lot of work to get done
this weekend." He replied, thinking about it.
"Come on, Dad." Brad said, wrapping his arm around his
father. "It's my college tour. I really want you there with me."
I looked at Mr. Williams and knew we had won.
"Of course, son." He beamed. "Of course I'll be there for you."
We all sat down on the bed and talked excitedly into the night
about all the things we needed to do and all the things we wanted to happen
during our trip. It was looking to be a fun weekend, for sure.

Coen brothers' parody on Tinseltown has shining stars but no real bite
Joel and Ethan Coen are in very giddy form indeed in this star-studded comedy set during the height of Hollywood's power and influence.
It's very well made, of course, and the Coens have shown in the past they're good with a lighter touch – most recently with the delightfully silly and under loved Burn After Reading.
But at the heart of this film is a sort of emptiness, a frivolity that makes it hard to get on board with the characters.
It's a shame, because characters abound here. Clooney plays Baird Whitlock, an old-school Hollywood star who can open any movie even if there's not much going on between the ears.
When he's kidnapped by a group of left-wing activists demanding a ransom, the production of the costume drama in which he stars is thrown into chaos.
It's down to the studio's Mr Fix-it, top executive Eddie Mannix (Brolin) to track down Whitlock (it's telling that he begins his search in the nearby bars) and get him back on set before the production collapses.
He also needs to keep the story away from the prying eyes of two of Hollywood's most powerful gossip columnists (twin sisters both played by Swinton).
Mannix is having a busy time of it – on another studio lot, acclaimed director Laurence Lorenz (Fiennes) is having a meltdown, unable to coax a performance from the actor the studio has foisted on him, who is out of his depth.
There are beautiful, glorious set pieces throughout. Standouts include synchronised swimming scenes being shot for a movie starring the divaesque DeeAnna Moran (Johansson) and a delightful dance scene which showcases Channing Tatum's multiple talents.
It's all shot in glorious retro-looking technicolour by the great cinematographer Roger Deakins – but while it's a treat for the eyes, there are problems here.
I'm usually well on board for lightweight Coens but the entire movie left me feeling a tad underwhelmed.
It's funny and charming at times but the whole effort plays like very much a hit and miss affair, and there are too many rambling plot lines and under drawn characters. The big-name cast feels underused as a result.

On Monday, shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) plummeted following the news that the company was hiring lawyers to defend its business against activist investor William Ackman.
However, on Thurday, shares of the beleaguered Tex-Mex restaurant chain rose 1.43%, following a 2.76% surge the previous day. The reason for the rise? One possibility: On Tuesday, two union-affiliated shareholders in the company stated that they will propose the ouster of the company's founder, Steve Ells, as chairman.
Investors want big change in Chipotle, and Ells is more associated with the old way of doing things.
Amalgamated Bank and CtW Investment Group filed a resolution on Tuesday to remove Ells from the company's leadership and replace him with an independent chairman. Ells is also co-chief exec of the company. And, apparently, the decision is being applauded by Wall Street.
This news comes just days after anonymous sources informed the media that Chipotle had hired the services of investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, as well as the high-powered law firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz and public relations firm Joele Frank to protect its business from Ackman and his hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital. Joele Frank is known for helping companies defend against high-profile, activist investors.
Pershing Square gobbled up a 9.9% stake in the company back in September, making the hedge fund the company's second-largest shareholder.
Ackman is well known for pushing for major changes at the companies in which he gobbles up large stakes. And many times, that involves affecting a shake-up in a company's board... much like the one proposed today.

For the last 4 months, I went undercover on all the major dating websites in order to share with you, ALL the information you need in order to obtain incredibly powerful results from online dating. I combined this extensive research with the help of a number of my students who volunteered to help me produce this amazing e-book, in return that I would share with them the tools they needed for online dating success.
They applied FIRST nearly all the techniques and systems and tricks that other dating coaches, pick up artists and online dating experts had given them, and it came as no surprise to see ALL these methods FAIL.
All the men who volunteered used strategies such as sending supposedly 'magic' messages that were 'guaranteed' to have hundreds of women 'begging them for sex' but asa result, women either blocked them or told them where to go! So much for the magical power of those 'copy and paste' messages!
All the men who volunteered also applied well meaning tips and advice from FEMALE dating coaches and FEMALE online dating experts, again, NO RESULTS!
However, after applying my structures and advice to their online profiles, and after applying my patterns and unique techniques to their messages, they had accelerated their current level of success by an amazing 80%

INF530: Digital Essay
"Synthesising the old with the new: Digital information ecology and its impact on education design practice in higher education
This essay will explore how the nature of the digital information ecology is impacting on education design practice, specifically in higher education. First, it looks at the literature around digital information ecology. Then the essay turns to the exploration of educational and learning design within this digital information ecology; later concluding with a look at some learning experiences designed into the post-graduate subject INF530 Concepts and Practices for a Digital Age.
The Literature
There is no denying that with the dawn of the internet and the World Wide Web the way people seek out, engage with and acquire knowledge has evolved (Thomas and Seely Brown, 2012). We no longer merely ingest information from a single source, we access and even actively contribute to a vast hyperlinked network of information sources (Campbell 2013; Conole 2012; Downes 2012; Thomas and Seely Brown 2012).
Information ecology which is the relationship of information to the people seeking it and making sense of it within the information environment is nothing new (Steinerova, 2012); what is new is the combined effect that the internet, computing and digital communication networks have on the ways we engage with information (O'Connell, 2015).
It is no wonder that the digital information ecology has evolved into a participatory ecosystem where endless communication links are established. Social media platforms such as twitter, facebook, blogs and wikis continually transform the spaces and ways we engage with information and each other. It is this call for ever more personalised filtering, sharing, curation and producing that makes up the digital information ecology. Whilst there is greater opportunity to locate information and connect with persons or communities, Conole (2012) argues that it has also created a 'fragmentation of voice' (p.55). Due to the many channels of communication and at times non-linear dissemination of information, there is a need to develop strategies to validate the information retrieved (Conole, 2012, p.55).
The flow of information in this digital age impacts on many aspects of our lives. In journalism, its impact can be seen in how news and historical moments are captured and shared, disrupting the role of traditional news outlets (Campbell, 2013).
In the field of science and technology, ideas become reality faster; breakthroughs are quicker and closer together, all due to the speed of information exchange (Johnson, 2014). So, what does the participatory and hyperlinked nature of digital information ecology mean for educators and their design practice?
Education Design
Although researchers involved in the exploration of teaching and learning skills in the digital age all concede that no one can predict what the future learning environment will look like (O'Connell, 2012); what is evident ,as Thomas and Seely Brown (2012) points out, is that digital information ecology is constantly evolving with the active participation of people from all walks of life. The literature further suggests that by understanding and accepting that this evolution, which has moved production and consumption of information from the hands of the few to the many; educators can better shape their education design practice, catering and adapting to the rapidly changing digital environment.
Haste (2009) who defines the learners today as 'Tool Users', explains that where once humans learned by solving problems alone in their heads, the digital information ecology now allows us to use tools to solve problems by interacting with the information environment and culture, as well as interacting with key people using the communication tools that are readily available to everyone.
Therefore, we don't necessarily require to hold all knowledge and information in the world, but rather we need to ensure that we are well-equipped to make useful connections and links within the digital information ecology, and know how best to do this (Downes, 2012).
At this point the discourse on education design splits into two factions. One faction aptly named "technological determinants" (Kirkwood, 2014, p.208) are those who believe that technology-led learning design will readily engage students in the learning because they are using devices and platforms they already engage in, in their everyday lives (Philip & Garcia 2013); and therefore readily prepares students for the 21st Century workplace. Philip & Garcia (2013) and Kirkwood (2014) argue against this type of design practice. Research has found that the problem with 'technological determinism' is that more often than not, the learning experiences that are created are merely digital replications of teacher-led and therefore didactic practices (Kirkwood 2014; Herrington et al. 2010; Stiles 2007); ignoring the changing learning practices where students are more social and participatory in their search for information (Conole, 2012).
The second faction in this discourse, on the other hand, believes that there is no single expert and that the nature of the digital information ecology is blurring the lines between student and teacher (Conole, 2012). As Conole (2012) explains, while Web 2.0 tools and social media can support the students learning, contextualising the use of technology in the subject design rather than simply including all the latest tools is more beneficial to learners who are already facing a multitude of new experiences. A key point Conole (2012) makes is that learners who have high learning needs do struggle to understand the various tools on offer to support their learning and therefore he argues that consideration of the incorporation of guided learning pathways is still a must.
It is therefore no surprise that it is the latter of the two discourses that is influencing education design practice (Conole 2012). As Teräs & Herrington (2014) and O'Connell (2012) observes, what is emerging is the repurposing of viable and well-grounded teaching and learning pedagogies, such as connectivism (Siemens 2014; Downes 2012), and practice-based learning (Wenger 1998; Lave & Wenger 1991), set in the context of the digital environment.
The synthesis of the new (i.e. the participatory and hyperlinked nature of the digital information ecology) with the old (i.e. underpinning learning concepts) emerges.
Learning Experiences in INF530
This essay now turns its attention to this synthesis and how it is played out in a post-graduate subject design.
Designed as the introductory subject for the Master of Education (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation), INF530 Concepts and Practices for a Digital Age's learning design is influenced by the concept of practice-based learning (CSU, 2015). According to Judy O'Connell, the Subject Coordinator and Course Director, practice-based learning which is underpinned by a reflective practice, allows students to engage with the theory through 'learning by doing' and 'learning from doing' (CSU, 2015, p.5). In addition, the subject calls for written reflection of the students' learning experiences using digital communication tools such as a blog and an online discussion forum (CSU, 2015).
"Within the context of this subject, experiential engagement is employed to foster creativity and initiative for new situations in connected environments for professional practice, and a capability for confident personal autonomy and accountability in knowledge networking." (CSU, 2015, p.5)
With this in mind, providing an authentic context is central to the subject's activities and tasks. Therefore, the main learning happens not only within a Learning Management System (Interact2 - CSU's instance of Blackboard Learn) but also by using various social learning tools such as a blog tool (Thinkspace - CSU's instance of edublogs), Twitter, Diigo, and Flipboard. According to Teräs & Herrington (2014), authentic context involves the immersion of the learner into the complex environment and situation. The inclusion of activities using the social learning tools in this subject design allows students to explore and experience the exact concepts and practices covered in the subject throughout the session.
In the following tweets from INF530 students, you will find a few discussions around the experiences of students of the exact concepts they discuss and cover within the subject readings and resources such as information overload in the digital information ecology, digital curation and preservation, including issues with technology itself.
These tweets between INF530 students reveal that at the beginning the experience was of confusion that came with the sometimes very new technological tools, and the influx of information from varying sources. Later, guided by the Subject Coordinator and also supported by the developing INF530 students learning community; the students began showing that they were learning the best ways to filter, validate, and then curate information. This experience feeds directly into the subject learning outcomes (you can view them here). It should also be noted that through engagement with Twitter, former INF530 students also joined the conversation and were providing mentoring and support where they could (without prompts from the Subject Coordinator).
The list of INF530 students' blog URLs can be found at the end of this essay, and what is evident while browsing through the blogs is the active sharing between students of their own expertise and learning experiences; as well as the synthesised learnings from other students.
It becomes evident while browsing through these blogs that the overall experience of INF530 students is one of the journey from chaos to the road of knowledge construction in the digital age, with various students reflecting on and capturing their journey with comments such as:
"INF530 has helped enormously to develop my IT unit as well as the strategic direction for the faculties I am in charge of (Arts and Technologies). Considering authentic tasks combined with fortuitous timing gave my students the opportunity to make recommendations to the company about to redesign the school website." (Plenty, 2015)
One true measure of the effectiveness of the learning design employed in this subject, is what O'Connell calls "your own personal measure or change" (2015, May 20). To highlight this, O'Connell talks about the experience of a former INF530 student whose digital essay (see here, Heather Bailie) went viral when she shared the link on Twitter. 12 months later, O'Connell is still seeing ripples of that experience within education discussion circles.
This essay made a brief attempt at reviewing INF530 students' learning experiences with INF530's subject design. INF530's subject design reflects the need for educators and education design practice to look at the repurposing of viable and well-grounded teaching and learning pedagogies set in the context of the digital environment. In the case of INF530, O'Connell framed her subject design around practice-based learning, reflective practice and connected learning. By setting the subject design around the nature of digital information ecology which is participatory and hyperlinked by nature; INF530 situates its students in the authentic context of the concepts and practices it hopes to impart.
The synthesised design of this particular post-graduate subject shows that the old (i.e. tested and grounded learning design pedagogy) is not lost in this digital age; rather what can be seen is that it provides the foundation of better immersing of students' learning into the digital information ecology. In this particular case, the learning design pedagogy acts like a life jacket around the students' neck while adrift in the big ocean. While INF530 students feel like it maybe a long way to land, they know that there are resources, support and guidance on hand; they just need to ask, connect and link. Of course due to this essay's length constraint, this only looked at one subject in a post-graduate course and therefore scope to analyse the students' experiences in the full course is still there to be explored in-depth. One could look at whether or not the same design framework is used throughout and how successful or challenging it is for both learner and teacher.

Piranha (1978)
Piranha (1978) is one of the better post-Jaws (1975) rip-offs. It tows the line between satisfying exploitation thriller and self-referential joke-fest nicely and even finds time to throw in a few tits for good measure. Those measurements are provided by the chesty charms of Janie Squire, of Cheerleaders Wild Weekend (1979) fame. The plot concerns some piranhas genetically altered by the military into intelligent killing machines. They are mistakenly freed into a river that lets out at a camp...Join Mr. Skin for the full review >>

The film is about a talented young reporter who is stuck in a rural Tennessee town in 1925. When a few town fathers hatch a plan to host The Trial of the Century over coffee cups at the local drugstore, our reporter sees the trial as his opportunity to finally break into the journalistic big leagues. Alleged is a true story of great historical characters (William Jennings Bryan, Clarence Darrow, H.L. Mencken) and fundamental conflicts that largely remain with us to this day: creation, evolution, secular confidence, bible backpedaling, eugenics, and (perhaps above all) media bias.

Writer-director Lexi Alexander ("Hooligans" w/Elijah Wood and last year's "Punisher: War Zone") will be at the helm for "Lifted". Her film "Johnny Flynton," nominated for an Academy Award for best live-action short film in 2003, was shot in and around the Birmingham area.

The Ladies of Chopped — Chopped After Hoursby Joseph Erdos in Shows, December 10th, 2015
Tonight the ladies of Chopped, or the "Charlie's Angels of Chopped," as Alex Guarnaschelli put it, judged a special mother-in-law and daughter-in-law episode of the show. And on After Hours the ladies are busting into the kitchen to take on one of the baskets from the episode. Judges Amanda Freitag, Maneet Chauhan and Alex take on cooking with lasagna, onion blossom chips, arugula and a wine purse. "This was one of the more catastrophic appetizer baskets that we've seen," says Alex as the ladies chat about the basket's difficulties. But there's no doubt the three will succeed, despite it being a 20-minute appetizer round.

I can never figure out how to correctly write romanized Korean names. Commonly, Korean names are three syllables, starting with their last name, followed by a two-syllable first name. Is the second syllable in their first names capitalized or not? I know, these silly problems of mine! Continue reading
Recipe: Saucy Pork Chops
I found this recipe online, and it got my interest because the ingredients needed are already in my pantry! I decided to give it a try as I haven't cooked anything yet that had this ingredient in it: ketchup! We have always used ketchup at home as a dip for fried dishes, but never as an ingredient to make something, so I was excited to do the recipe and see how it comes out. Continue reading
Recipe: Red Sinigang
I'm not really a professional cook, I just like working in the kitchen and preparing food my family enjoys. 🙂 I know this dish isn't new, but allow me to share the method I use to make it (I don't promise it to be original). This red sinigang is a nice twist to your usual sinigang, especially if you or your family tend to get tired of the same old formula. 😉 Continue reading
Review: Always Be My Maybe
Honestly, it seems like all they ever release these days are romantic comedies. It's tiring to see the same plot both in TV and the movies, but I decided to give this a shot, for the sole reason that I like Arci Muñoz. It can't be that bad, right? My personal experience dictates that Star Cinema movies are of good quality, so I hoped that this would be worth my time. Continue reading
Review: My Best Ex-Boyfriend
Nope! This isn't about me. Hahaha. This is the title of a Chinese series that aired in 2015, which I'm watching now.
I found the show by accident through Viki, an app for streaming videos of Asian dramas (predominated by Korean and Taiwanese), Bollywood films, and anime. I was actually searching for a new Korean drama I can watch (the last one I've watched being Descendants of the Sun), but none of the uploads seem to be available in my country. Viki showed me My Best Ex-Boyfriend as a suggestion, and it caught my attention because the thumbnail is a shot of Jerry Yan (insertI'm a big Meteor Garden fan spiel here). It didn't take much to convince me to give the show a try, especially after hearing the song of the opening credits–I instantly loved it. Continue reading
What does a full-time mom blog about?
I honestly don't know. I used to maintain a blog during my singlehood; in fact, I've had a lot of blogs during my teenage years, but there's one I've stuck with for quite a long time — it's hosted by BlogSpot, and it's still up even though I haven't posted an entry for a while (it isn't public, too, because I tend to post things that I wouldn't even dare tell my closest friends). Back then, I blogged about anything and everything under the sun, and by anything and everything I meant exactly that. You see, blogs were popular in a time where social media sites aren't. No Facebook, no problem. You post your pictures and reviews on whatever and commentaries on current events on your blog. No Twitter, no problem. You want just a short rant about the traffic, post it on your blog (there's no character limit!). No Instagram, no problem. Nobody cared about filters and fades on the photos up on your blog.

Review: The Breadery
This is my first ever post as a reviewer so please bear with me. 🙂
My eating routine during workdays usually includes me buying breakfast food every morning, around 9 AM. I buy food even if I had eaten breakfast at home, and even if I'm not that hungry. I just love breakfast food. I mean, there are times I crave for breakfast food even if it's in the middle of the day! I usually eat tapsilog for lunch, cereal for dinner… but that's probably best for another entry.
So today, my breakfast-food-loving self wandered into this newly-opened pastry shop called The Breadery, which is located just beside our office's building. Prior to visiting the store, I was already informed by some coworkers that, although delicious, their prices were a little expensive compared to your usual bakeshops. However, that didn't stop me because I was really in the mood for some filling pastries, which I wanted to pair with my baon Great Taste White Coffee. :)) Continue reading
