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."

The Snippets Need Direction

Me: What's your favorite beer?<br />Blake: That's a tough one. I mean, I'm a huge fan of cold beer, but I'm also kind of partial to free beer. <br /><br />Me: I meant your favorite brand. What's your favorite brand of beer?<br />Blake: You see, I don't like to pigeonhole myself like that. I'm not the kind of guy who defines himself by the brand of beer I piss.

It’s Finally Over

<p>Well, the World Cup is finally finished. No disrespect to Court Sullivan and all the other people out there who love watching soccer, but well, I'm glad the damn thing is over.<br />

Guys are Stubborn

Almost eleven years ago, my friend Pythagoras pissed in a water bong and handed it to my friend, Fireplug, who smoked it while a room full of people laughed heartily.<br /><br />"What the fuck is so funny?" Fireplug asked as his friends guffawed relentlessly.<br /><br />"Nothing," said my friend, Brickmaster. "They just packed some seeds in there. Let me pack you a fresh one."<br />

Observations Like a Beautiful Moron

I love waking up in a drunken blur and finding a random woman in my bed. Sure, I may not remember what in the hell I did the previous evening, but that woman is validation that I at least did something right. I mean, her presence almost makes up for the obligatory empty wallet and stained sheets.<br />

The Bible: Just a Book

I was a weird kid. I know it's hard to imagine that, seeing as how I'm such a shining example of normality and good cheer. But it's true. I was also the son of a Minister, which meant I went to church pretty much every week for a long time.
