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."

You’re Welcome, Egypt

The United States has created an autocratic world regime which spreads democracy wherever it goes by making it impossible for people to eat. Enjoy your riots, Egypt!

Picking the Last Playoff Games

<p>Welcome to the last installment of Picking Them Games. Next week: there is no football of any kind so I'm probably gonna need another hobby. And apparently, hanging out in bookstores and hitting on chicks with glasses does not constitute a hobby (who knew?).  For the record, I am 4-4 against the spread these fine playoffs. Much like Pete Carroll though, I cannot win on Sunday. I was 4-0 fo

Picking Them Games in a Dirty Apartment

I had a great date last night.  And the female who helped provide said date has come to the conclusion that she needs to come over and clean my place.  Now, she's done more than enough for me and that's not necessary and all that but it's nevertheless appreciated.  And, lucky you, it reminds me of something Wesley Snipes said in a movie once: <p>"The generosity of women never ceases to ama

Systemic Pile of Risk

In 2011, Fannie and Freddie won’t have to worry about a thing, because the US Government now has an agency dedicated to eliminating systemic risk. This should go terribly.
