Steven Puffer–8/27/85 to 3/13/09 A dedication and story.

March 18th 2009 in Fire, Uncategorized

5:30 pm. I undress from my work clothes, take a shower, shave and put on some nicer threads. I grab my iPod that shows very little signs of wear, cigarettes and redbull, then head downstairs. I unlock my car plug in the iPod and push play. “Tears in Heaven” by Eric [...]

The afternoon I was nearly shot

February 13th 2009

You ever looked up the business end of a gun? I have. Its not a pleasant feeling. It’s chilling. It’s piss your pants scared. It freezes you in place until your assailant decides what he wants to do. He pulled the trigger.
5 of my friends and I were sitting [...]

Lollapalooza

February 5th 2009

It was a crisp and airy evening in Iowa City. The drunks were out in full force and I swiftly joined the hoards of students quickly grasping at whatever is alcoholic and near. On this particular night my boss, K-daddy, chose to indulge in a little bit of debauchery himself. He is [...]

The Bachelor Party

January 14th 2009

There really is nothing like grabbing a shopping cart in a liquor store, I must say. The sense of empowerment and excitement intertwined with one another tell you the story before it happens. With about 15 cubic feet of space we began our quest that is the burbs’ bachelor party.
We walk to and [...]

The Iowa City Tornado

January 4th 2009

The night started off simple enough. Go to my night class which started promptly at 6:30 PM. The class was Economics of 3rd world countries. An interesting class but as with most economics, boring. Anyways halfway through class we always have a 10 minute break, which I always chose to indulge [...]

Get Creative with your Christmas Presents

December 19th 2008

I dislike Christmas. Christmas has lost its meaning to consumerism and crappy sweaters. Nobody ever seems to give gifts that really mean anything anymore which is why I always try to get creative with my gifts. Last year our beloved yellow lab passed away and it hit the family pretty hard. [...]

The Dallas Trip

December 18th 2008

I got in my car Friday night. Sat behind the wheel at 11 pm and started the engine. I grabbed a cigarette and lit up. The aroma of death quickly filled the car and I felt my frustration level sink a little. I backed out of the parking spot and just [...]
