The Final Chapter Well gang, this will be a wrap in the Nasty John saga. I could have filled ten episodes with the stories I could share, but it’s time to move on. Fast forward. Things changed drastically over the Summer. Our dorm, McKneely Hall was torn down, our housing request to room together wasContinue reading “Nasty John (Part Last)”

Nasty John (Part 3)
Room 136 “Misfits aren’t misfits among other misfits.” – Barry Manilow Room 136. Our personal oasis. Our home away from home. We were two doors away from the back door escape hatch of McNeely Hall. It was perfectly located for our covert comings and goings late at night without entering/leaving and being seen through theContinue reading “Nasty John (Part 3)”
Nasty John (Part 2)
The Driving Force “Do one thing every day that scares you.” – Eleanor Roosevelt By now, most of you who read Part 1 are probably wondering “why” we acted the way we did. Why would two handsome, physically-fit, intelligent young men fortunate enough to attend the most prestigious regional university in remote Southeastern Louisiana wasteContinue reading “Nasty John (Part 2)”
Nasty John (Part 1)
The Beginning “I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.” – Helen Keller Keep in mind as you read this, that this is just the warm up. The prelude. There’s just too much that happened to recant in one post. The following story is the tale of twoContinue reading “Nasty John (Part 1)”
Spring Break
The Disclaimer I had second thoughts about writing about this particular true story. The primary reason was that I didn’t want anyone to think less of me based on the childish actions of my past. But then I thought, “How much less could you possibly think about me?” The bar was already pretty low. I’mContinue reading “Spring Break”
The Birthday
Prelude The Woodlands, TX. Mid-November, 1992. It was a Friday. The reason I remember this is because it was the celebration of my 30th birthday. It was also the last time I puked (a.k.a. the Technicolor Yawn). Yes my friends, whether you care to know or not, I have been on a “no-vom” run forContinue reading “The Birthday”
The Battle of Seville
The Prelude OK. You can’t make this shit up. If I could, I would be one of the greatest fiction writers of all time. It was a hot August day in 1982. The number one song at the time was “Eye of the Tiger”. That may seem irrelevant, but it may have been a foreshadowingContinue reading “The Battle of Seville”
The Courtship
The Not Liking “It’s easier to resist at the beginning than at the end.” – Leonardo da Vinci Please don’t judge me as you read this. I am a completely different person than the one portrayed in this story (for the most part). The truth is, I was an asshole in high school and prettyContinue reading “The Courtship”
The Honeymooners (Another True Story)
Wedding Day “Remember tonight, for it is the beginning of always”- Dante July 28, 1984. The best day of my life. It was the day I got to marry the girl of my dreams. I even cut my bangs for the event! It was a beautiful wedding attended by a large number of family andContinue reading “The Honeymooners (Another True Story)”
The Great Hula Hoop Incident of 1994 (A True Story)
Please note before reading this that I love my family dearly. They will not get angry when they read this as they already know how screwed up they are. This depiction will not be news to them. We’re not a vain family. If we were, we would be much more attractive and take much betterContinue reading “The Great Hula Hoop Incident of 1994 (A True Story)”
