What's this? a blurb? i guess i'm supposed to define it, since i'm the first to write one... when the author of this site wishes to add a little authenticity to his recounts, or if he just wants you to understand the people he talks about a little better, he'll have them write a blurb; you know, a little freestyle.
With that said, i should start. Hi! My name's Zack Funke. yeah i know, weird name, it's pronounced "funky" and it's super cool cause no one i know has that name too. uhh... I'm 14 years old, and I go to "the author's" school in Boise, Idaho. I'm a freshman, but not for long -- one day i'll help bring the Knights to another football state championship. I may even play varsity football before my junior year, that would rock! So, as you can see, I like football. I played on the junior varsity team this year, with inexperienced juniors, sophomores and talented freshman. I also play basketball... my height and weight is a great advantage, but i'm not skilled enough to make anything higher than freshman, for now. I'm 5'11 and weigh 149 pounds... kinda skinny for a football player, but i run like crazy in track and lacrosse and lift like crazy in football and conditioning, so i'm fairly lean with some above average muscle mass; nothing too exciting, though.
As far as schoolwork goes, I've always been a good student; like, straight A+. i find ways to make extra credit, and my learning style is thorough and I have a hard work ethic along with exceptional structural understanding of material.... all these big words, they come from my dad, who pushes me to go this far. I'm in one advanced math class, if you consider Algebra 1 the default math class for 9th grade; i'm in geometry. as for science, already took earth science, physical science is too easy, so i was put in conceptual physics. pretty much a dumbed down and cartooned version of regular physics, it still gives you a great understanding of the world. science has always been my strong suit... which is strange, because it's not something instinctive, like math, it's more something learned, like history. maybe somewhere inbetween... i've always been really interested in astrophysics, particle physics, quantum mechanics, how space and time work... how we think... how or brains work.... things that we don't know about yet. someday i'd like to make a discovery; i would never use my real name though, i'd never get the end of "NERD!"
that's right... my writing style makes me sound like a frickin nerd, but it's just the way i write. gets good grades in english. i have a ton of awesome friends, since i went to a catholic school for elementary school and jr. high, and the catholic-school-web called TVCS pretty much has all of the students doing stuff together. think of one huge class of about 90, only you know them all really well and you're all going to the same high school! pretty awesome, if you ask me. my girlfriend's also from my class; she's amazing too, and she might even write a blurb on here sometime. who knows, it's joe's choice!
anyway... uhh... there's probably a picture on here somewhere, but i have brown curly hair, a crooked (once broken) nose, wear contacts, braces, long arms, big legs, and big feet. it's all more or less in proportion to everything else, so, not too bad, i guess. like i said, i'm 5'11" and 149, and can play football, basketball, track and lacrosse. i know how to play baseball, but i can't play THREE spring sports. and, lastly, joe referred to me as "the bracelet heir" a couple times on here before; that's me. but call me Zack. bracelet heir makes me sound like some kind of arabian prince with a golden bracelet or something.... hahaha.
