    Probably the best quote in all of history.


    "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training... what a disgrace it is for a man to grow old without ever seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."
    - Socrates




    Once you get to know me, you'll realize I'm the world's biggest optimist, and adore life more than anyone I know. I'm the sweetest person one will ever meet and it's impossible for me to give up on those I care about.The biggest thing about me is taking care of those around me. I love to make others happy, and will die to let them know I care. Nothing is a greater sight than to see someone smile. I love love, and I adore life. I make the best I can out of things, and my day isn't complete without doing something great.

    I joined the United States Navy on January 31st to support my country. I believe fully in the military and couldn't care less for you if don't. They're the heroes of this country and give you everything you have. Life, liberty, happiness. If you enjoy those, thank the military. Rights, freedom, securtiy. Nothing without the soldiers of the Unites States military. I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

    I'll let all of you do the rest of the writing here. Write something about me, and I'll quote you if you'd like.


    Love, Katie K.

    Zack,

    I had to stop reading what everyone else did because it made me want to cry.You got me through my freshman year.When I needed it your hand was always there holding a smile for me.You never would let me leave 6th hour angry or upset and I thank you for that.You are an awesome listener and even if you hadn't been through whatever it was I was talking about you always tried your best to give me the best advice possible.You've really became one of my very close friends.I will miss you dearly when you leave.You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I wish you and all the other men and women in the military good luck and that they will come home safely.Boot camp will be tough but you are one of the strongest people I know, phsyically and mentally.I can speak for myself and for many others when I say that you are doing an amazing thing and you have all of our respect.Stay strong and you will make it just fine.
    All my love and best wishes,

    Katie


    Love, Mom

    My baby boy ... I am so proud of you and the choices you have made in life. You've never done anything to make us sad or embarassed. You've always been such a good kid, and now ... an unbelievable young man. Congratulations on all your achievements in life. You are amazingly talented at everything you try. You completed school and will graduate, all on your own. You've chosen to join the Navy (and I will probably cry every day that I don't see your face). I love you so much, and feel very blessed that we were lucky enough to get you as our son. There will always be kisses for my Zackie-Pooh.

    Love, Momma


    Love, Michelle Esterle

    "I have been searching for the words to tell you how I feel about you so you could put them in your about me section, but alas, I'm at a loss for words. All I know is that I hate running, but you love it. I hate veggies and you love them [I think]. You love me and I love you. When you're sad, it rips my heart into shreds and is a pain nobody, even the invincible Michelle, can stand. I can't stand to be around people and you cannot stand to be alone.

    You're my other half. I'm not complete without you."


    Love, Kasey

    Zack, you are honestly one of the strongest people i have ever met. i believe that you came into my life for a reason because God knew that i wouldnt be able to make it through this hard time with out you, and i hope you feel the same about me. i admire your bravery and dedication more than you can imagine. i look up to you. you are my hero.. i think that me and you are always going to be friends because of the bond that we have. its a bond that no one can understand and its a bond that will never be broken, no matter what. you are the only person i can run to for help when i need it because i know that you will understand and probably will feel the same way. Zack you are one of my most valued friends and i know that there will never be any one else like you.. ive never felt so close to anyone like i am with you...i love you more than words can explain and i want you to know that i will always be there for you... always... you are one of the best friends that i have ever had and i will never take that for granted...so thank you for everything...

    Kasey


    Love, Amber

    "Zack Scarpetti... there is so much I could write about you, but that would take years. One thing that will pretty much sum it all up is I love you. You are the most amazing person ever, and I dont know what I would do if I had not met you. You are my chocolate chip muffin & I hope that we could be together forever because I would die without you. You make me feel like I can do anything when I'm with you... and I love that feeling. I've been trying to find words to express how you make me feel, but words cant explain it. So, I'll just say this... you are my EVERYTHING & I love you more, always & forever."
    Love always, Amber


    Always, Stephanie LaCasse

    Zack, I really can't explain how amazing you are. Everytime I talk to you, I always smile. You can get my mind off of anything that's bothering me just by talking to me. I love talking to you, It's always fun. Your a mindblowing friend, your loyal, funny, smart, great looking, and most of all your, yourself. I love that. So glad we met.

    "Yeah so I've known you for what?...a thousand years or so? It's so "wow" the way time flies by. We had some good times, and some bad times...more specifically times that you were crying about how I was so much cooler than you =] and I had to be a "real friend" and give you a hug and tell you everything will turn out alright. And they did! You're extra sexified now, bitches know you (jk ladies), and you might last more than 23 seconds in a fight with me =D I'm proud of you bro, and I mean that literally. I'd eat something really gross for you...like a Big Mac...with onions ;)"


    from, Mr. Lugo

    Even though it has been like a million years,im sure that if we were to chill we would just hit it off where we left off..... your my brother for life man i got that love for you ma homie.... shit your the only reason i have a myspace... remember shadowhark. hahaha... same email dude....


    From, Josh Stevens

    Zach A.K.A. Prince Charming- Zach is like the coolest O.G. that you could ever meet. Hes one of my best friends and he is my mma training partner. (And no you cant join us so dont ask us we will ask you if we are interested.) Not only is he that he is my lifting partner. We both are pretty much full of ourselves. So dont mess with him because when you do that you mess with me to..... And thats never good.


     From, Sean Danford

    "Zack Scarpetti, Two times already you have kept me from losing my mind. You've seen me twice in a manner many don't see me at all. My family and best friends rarely ever have to deal with what you have. You have been one of my best friends since around the time I met you, and you have never once dissapointed me. I have learned so much from you, and I look up to you ALOT. You've been with my through my darkest times, when I had faith in nothing at all. You always put me and everyone else before yourself, which is a pretty rare trait. We are so much alike, and yet I still find myself striving to be more like you. Wherever time takes you, remember that God is with you, and you are in my prayers. Without you, I would never have come as far as I have. In all sincerity, thank you.

    You have no idea how thankful I am for you."


    From, Joni Canada

    "You know what I love about you, it's that you're so forizzle"


     From, XNick EdgeX

    You're not normal, you have somthing bro, run with it.


    From, Aaron Esterle

    "Zack is basically the most amazing person in the world."


    From, Miss Gabby

    "Have I ever told you I love you, because that's such an understatement. To see you sad is like ripping my heart right from my chest. It's just so unacceptable."


    From, Mr. Chris

    "Mr. Scarpetti, a man I would love to shower with :P"

About me:


About me:

Truthfully, I'm the greatest guy you'll ever meet, and I have just about half the world who can vouch for that. I love to smile and I love to love.

Who I'd like to meet:




Shine & Rust

I've never been one to run between the rain drops. I always figured we all need to get a little wet from time to time. The world is made of dust and water, diamonds and rocks. It is wonderfully ridiculous and supremely sublime, all at once. This life... It's everything and it's nothing at the same time. It's beautiful and disgusting and that's okay. It's messy, it's nasty and lowdown, and that’s okay too. It's all okay. It's okay because all these elements have a distinct and necessary purpose in this realm, in this world, and in our lives. You have to be willing to accept the dirt if you want the diamonds.

We want to sit down to a steak dinner fit for royalty. Well guess what? Someone has to kill the cow. While a man is buying a $2000 suit in New York, another man is digging a drainage trench in Indiana. There is beauty, and there is sweat, and that’s okay. There is life and there is death and I know that my time will come too, and for me, that’s okay. Truly there are many, many wonders to behold in this world, but can there possibly be one more wonderful than our own lives? To walk, run, swim, drive, even to fly… All we need do is simply conceive of these notions and then act them out. The wonders are part of the mundane. Wait… Are we onto something here? To think, to conceive, and then to act. This process is simply amazing.

I say this because the simplicity of the concept is so obvious, it often eludes even the most wise of us. The first step of any journey is the most difficult. It is also the most exciting. We come from dust but we can shape diamonds. Our bodies are fragile yet we push through pain and disability, through triumph and defeat. Our minds are cluttered, and yet we create beautiful objects and art. We are the underdogs of the universe, and we will beat back the shadow of our mortality with defiance and rage. We will fly forth with swarming energy and one resolve. We will not be forgotten… Strength lies in those who would not look away from truth. We are, we will be, and we must remain. Some of us will shine, but if it's all the same to you, I prefer to rust. Rage and focus be your guide. We will find our place.


True Bodybuilding

 Close your eyes and imagine you're all alone on a deserted island. There's no hope of rescue, of ever seeing another person again in your life. In the middle of that island is a squat rack and a pile of plates. Down the beach, there's fruit, water, warm sand and an easy life. What do you do? If, in this dream, you choose a ball-busting quad workout, then you have an idea what hardcore is all about. On the other hand, if you tell yourself, "What's the point? No one will see my quads anyway," then walk away. You just missed the point. Looking good for appearances or for competitions is one thing, but great bodybuilding is more than that. It has to be more than that, or you just don't get it. When I see that squat rack, I move the weight because it's daring me to. The weight is saying, "You can't defeat me." Maybe you can lift it today, maybe you can't. ..But there is truth in the pain, honor in the struggle...



Teamwork

Bodybuilding is an individual sport. I do everything myself, with little help from anyone. Not that I don't need it, but I have a hard time asking for it. Asking for help means I can't do it on my own.



Overcome

I get a lot of questions about this tattoo idea, "Overcome". It started out as a tribute to a fallen friend. Later, down the road, it became a part of what people thought of when they thought of me. People associated the tattoo with my attitude: If I have to go around it, over it or just right fucking through it, I'll get to where I'm going. ..The main thing they realized was that when I'm set to go off, they had better be some place else... When they saw me eat or train, they began to think of me as a man-machine. That's how I got this nickname, "Machine". It's because that's the only way they could describe what they saw. "Damn, this kid is a fucking machine," they'd say. They are right.

I am living proof that one motivated individual can become whatever he sees himself to be. You can become huge if you find a way to transcend limits. Limits are what people all around you try to place on you throughout your life. Limits is what makes people mediocre. The key is not to allow them to weaken you by infecting you with their loser's attitude. Spend 99% of your time ripping yourself apart to get better, and the other 1% of your time punishing yourself because you should be further along. ..My advice: Becoming your own worst enemy is the only way to know greatness. This is how you overcome...



The Vehicle

A man stands in the middle of the road. He strains to see if a vehicle is approaching. The man knows he must move, but he is powerless. Legs are stronger than pistons, his feet are planted like mighty oaks. This man is neither crazy nor a fool though his position suggests otherwise. A vehicle is coming, moderate in pace but solid as a freight train. The man understands what the vehicle is and makes no attempt turn away... His eyes are wide open. The vehicle is nearly upon him and will surely leave nothing of him that will resemble what he once was. The lights of the vehicle shine a beam that penetrates the man to his very core, yet he feels a calm move across him like a cloud that hides the hot sun.

You see the vehicle has been coming since the day he was born. The twisting road that delivered the vehicle to the man gave his soul weight and breadth, the road made the man what he was meant to be, and the road would deliver the man the rest of the way to his destiny. I believe the vehicle comes for us all. It is pointless to turn away from your destiny or from who you are. There are challenges to be sure, days on this earth that are fit for no man. Never forget that the road makes the man. The road pounds your feet and blinds you with toil and unending strife. Always remember, as I do, that the vehicle is coming to deliver you from this world to the next. So it is imperative that you move through this realm as a champion and a warrior to make certain that your place is a place of honor.



Things will get better.

The road I walk down has had so many turns for someone as young as I am… So many trials, so many hurdles have stood in my way. The only way for me to succeed was to become totally committed to the idea that greatness wasn't something you went out and bought like a truck or a house. Greatness was having to become so ugly that you were beautiful, so rusty that you shined, and so driven you could run through a wall if there was even a chance to get one step closer to the truth.

In my life, situations, people and negativity became chains that tried to hold me down. I won't be chained to the earth. As the phoenix rose from the ashes to soar free above the clouds, so will I. In all things that you do, do not strive to be admired or loved for the battles you have won. Keep your head down, your shoulder square to the wheel, and drive yourself beyond anything you ever thought possible.

In living this way, you will soon be admired for the courage you have shown, the will to fight against all odds. You will be loved as only a true warrior can be loved. Bodybuilding is strength and suffering, beauty and savagery, freedom and chains, all at the same time. Praise any man who chooses to pursue this life and walk it the way it's supposed to be walked. If you’re not in for the kill and lack the strength and commitment, then just walk away...



The Chains That Hold Us



Many days and even many more sleepless nights I have sat and wondered what my destiny really was. What was my place in this dark place? Did I even have one? So many times I have lain awake, motionless, locked in a haze, unable to even dream. From the time I was a boy, I always knew, without question that there were great and wondrous trials for me to overcome.

Along the way I found myself a leader of men surrounded always by hangers on, yet always alone. The path I walked had curves where it was straight for others. I stood out even when I wanted to blend in. It occurred to me that no matter who was around or how many people I came in contact with, I remained a loner. I worked in silence and turned away friends and relationships. Solitude, even self-imposed exile, was my way.

As I walk on, I find myself blessed with having beautiful people in my life. Their courage amazes me. I found out that a man's purpose is sometimes greater than he can understand. There are people who are held by invisible chains, closed in by imaginary walls that seem so real to them. I know now that within me lies the soul of a gladiator and the heart of a lion.

My world is for me to live in and my solitude is my burden to bear. They are also the tools I use to forge a will to survive, and lead others to realize their own dreams. So when you see me standing alone and doing things differently from the group, don't judge me too harshly. I must remain focused. I hunt alone.

We’re all trying to find our way to our own destinies. My destiny makes me walk a hard, lonely road, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I must be a Machine and always operate under any conditions. Whatever happens, whatever weather, day or night, the Machine keeps coming. To all the kids who have nothing to lose, keep your heads up and your fists clenched. Take hold of your destiny. We won't be chained down. We will fly.
