Daily Spotlight- Geoff Covington

Before I get cracking on the daily spotlight, I just want to clear up the idea that this is an in-depth biography or something. I know it's lame to talk about Derrick without mentioning his dirty El Camino or not to bring up Anderson's collection of jumpsuits, but that's just the way the spotlight works. I spotlight the things I think about at the moment. Maybe there will be a day when daily spotlights see some revision, but not until I've covered more ground.

I have to spotlight one of my oldest friends, Geoff. I would have done it anyway, but I was reading Becky's blog from Geoff's 30th birthday and just rolling over how freaking hillarious this guy is. Geoff and I started hanging out when I was 12, a few months after my family moved to Las Vegas. He had previously wrecked his bike into a fire hydrant and I'm seriously crying as I type this because of how pissed he got when people asked him about it. But anyway he had a moustache at 13 and many a pizza factory t-shirt. We pretty much spent junior high playing Street Fighter 2 at Stop and Shop and that's all I remember. The most hillarious thing about Geoff was always just his indifference to everything. He never really got that mad or sad about stuff, just always kind of maintained the same mood but with a mad look on his face. It was hillarious. Also, he just liked to be kind of an ass. He had an 82 subaru that he bought for like 200 bucks that started with a screwdriver, and he just loved to drive around and be an a-hole for no reason. He rigged the windshield wiper fluid squirter to shoot out like 15 feet to the right side of his car so he could creep up on pedestrians and just ruin their day. He would throw water balloons filled with shaving cream at people and dump dish soap in apartment fountains on a pretty regular basis. It was always a hillarious and shady time when old Geoff was around. Especially when he realized that he looked old enough to never be carded for anything. The Green Valley Grocery never saw it coming. But Geoff is a pretty smart guy. He knows all sorts of stuff about electronics and can pretty much fix everything. Plus he has a great wife and his kids are freaking hillarious! His eight year old kid wrote a song last year called "It's so hard to be alive" and seriously...the idea of that to me is just the funniest thing in the world. I can't get enough. Anyway, Geoff is an awesome guy. Great friend, family man, etc. Only person to ever make me dump my pants.
