October Free Verse

Mystery of Life...
How someone who can't seem to operate a microwave without creating a two-alarm fire in the process, enjoys enough good luck to win a free iPod Nano.

Recipe for a good time...
A $350 wet-suit, 2 inch adjustment of your center fin, reasonable swell at Malibu on your day off.

The air is getting a touch cooler, the candy aisles are stocked and glow with a familiar shade of orange and purple. Time to dust off the decor and get your spook on.

Earlier Today
Hot coffee
Half naked woman in your bed
NFL on the tube
All is well...


At least until you hear that during a press conference following the Miami Dolphins pitiful loss to the Houston Texans, defensive tackle Jason Taylor instructs the media to refer to the 'fins as "the worst team in football," which Chris Collinsworth and Bob Costas are only too happy to oblige.

"You feel that sting? That's pride, Butch. Fuck pride."
Fuck you, Daunte Culpepper and the knee you limped in on.


An evening not wasted in front of the benevolent shrine of Tivo...and instead spent catching up with old friends like Les Paul, Buck Owens and Bob Dylan's "Nashville Skyline."
