What is Soccer Poet? Well, in addition to being my personal money pit and the reason I am still driving a 1995 Jeep Wrangler that could only be operated in a state that doesn’t mandate vehicle inspection, the Poet is a place where I wax poetic and profound about soccer and any other triviality that grabs my attention. Please don’t take this stuff too seriously. If you can’t spot sarcasm, this probably isn’t the place for you. Just sayin’.

(NOTE: As predicted, the Jeep recently passed on to that great beach in the sky. You can read about it in the blog. Then be sad like me.)

To the left you’ll see some clickable pages. So go on and click ‘em.

On the About The Poet page you can find a page of me rambling on about me. I don't recommend you read it unless you really are that bored. However, I highly recommend that if you can't help but visit that page that you check out Citizen Poet. It's a way to connect with some really cool people who are doing things that matter a lot more than teaching someone how to pass a soccer ball. So click on their links and get involved and make the world a better place and feel good about doing it.

My Blog will give you a fly-on-the-wall look at the life of UGA soccer through my eyes. Want to know what’s happening under the hood? This is where you can find out.

In Things I Dig you’ll find, well, things I dig. Some of them you’ll know for sure. Others are gems you’ll be happy to discover. If nothing else it will give you some great ideas when you’re Christmas shopping, especially if you happen to be Christmas shopping for me. Which I encourage.

Poet Tour is a calendar of the places I’ll be and when I’ll be there. If you’re there too, then we’ll both be there and we can say hey.

Things My Phone Saw is a photo gallery of some of the more interesting things I see in my travels.

You’ll also notice that I can be hired out for speaking engagements and private coaching sessions in Hire Me. I do this because I’m quite sure that Jeep will be dead before the end of this year.

My initial impetus for building The Poet is the result of a separate project that I began in 2005. Long story short - I wrote a book. To be fair, if you count a couple of children’s stories, I’ve actually authored a few books and I hope to have the first one available here before Christmas. That’s Plan A. I’ll post updates on the site as they become available. But when that sucker is in print, trust me, you’ll know all about it.

So I encourage you to browse around, kick the tires, and you know… be the first person in your home, office or school to know what the Monkey of the Day means.

After about 30 minutes in development, here is the official Soccer Poet bumper sticker! I only had enough money to make like a hundred of them, and I plan on putting one on the wall at Captain Tony’s, so we may as well call them limited edition collector’s items. They look great on your car, your friend’s car, your skateboard or that fridge in your dorm room.

UPDATE! Want one? Second shipment has arrived. Just email me your address. If you promise to put at least one in public, I may even send you two.
