Tampa, FL by way of St. Louis, MO

Nathan DeGraaf graduated fucking years ago with a BA in Creative Writing from the University of South Florida, which he still lives near because college chicks are the best. On weekday evenings, Nate can typically be found at any one of a number of North Tampa bars. On weekends, he typically cannot be found. When not drinking, fishing, watching sports, or having sex, Nathan likes to read, play the harmonica, and show up for work. Throughout the course of his life, he has been arrested six times because, as his father has often said, "the kid is fucking stupid."

Clear View (Poem)

<div style="clear:both;"></div>Brainwashed ethics hide the horrible truth<br />of what we all long to say and do.<br /><br />God handed me an apron,<br /> Said, "hey kid, go to work."<br /> And so I went with no regrets<br /> Wandering through memories<br /> On the open faces of strangers

The Snippets are Trashy

<div style="clear:both;"></div>Aaron: Dude, you work at the softball fields, right?<br />Greg: Yeah. <br />Aaron: Here's what you need to do. You need to develop a way so that like, when the chicks slide, their uniforms peel off. <br />Me: Dude, that is just fucking dumb. <br />Aaron: What? You're telling me it wouldn't be awesome?

Mold Moves Me

<div style="clear:both;"></div>This weekend I get to move. Next door. <br /><br />Not too many people ever move next door to where they live. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. <br />

The Snippets Huff Gas

Me: Hey do you think you can help me move?<br />Scott: No. <br />Me: I won't need much help. <br />Scott: Where you moving to?<br />Me: Next door. <br />Scott: You know, that move probably won't provide much of a change of scenery. <br />Me: I don't know dude. Sometimes there's a whole new world next door. <br />Scott: Have you been huffing paint?<br />

Stupid Fat Yankees

<div style="clear:both;"></div>Okay, I'm not one of those assholes who thinks that everyone from the northeastern United States is a prick. I'm well traveled enough to know that pricks tend to be everywhere and that their regional affiliations really only show up in accents and jargon. But this weekend, I met some stereotypical yankee douchebags.<br />
