“ Huh? Oh yeah, sure kid. And he’ s belting‘ em down.”“ See, I told you,” Yellowfeather told his friend.“ Naw, you gonna believe a drunk? Let’ s ask the next guy. I still say it’ s the grill guy,” Tom Hawk insisted. Just then, the front door swung open.“ Hey mister, is George Foreman inside?” The drunk laughed.“ Yeah, he’ s in the kitchen flipping burgers like a champ.” The boys bantered back and forth until the sun sunk beneath the hills and the chill turned cold. Soon their teeth were clacking louder than their voices. Yellowfeather spoke up:“ Hey listen, I’ m getting cold. I don’ t really care if it was Tyson or Foreman, I want to go home, how about it, eh?”“ But what about finding out?” Tom Hawk asked.“ Let’ s flip on it.” Yellowfeather said.
“ Okay.”“ Heads it was Tyson, tails it was Foreman.”“ But was it a carrot or a cigar?” Tom Hawk asked.“ We’ ll flip on that, too?”“ You have a quarter?”“ Nope. How about you?”“ Nah, don’ t have one.”“ Man, now we’ ll never know,” Yellowfeather complained.“ What do you mean, I’ m telling you, it was George Foreman,” Tom Hawk insisted as the boy’ s shadows slipped from the streetlight’ s glow.
Q- Last question I was looking at your websites to find info for this interview and I came across something odd. What is it you like about mountains? A- There’ s an intangible about mountains that touches my soul. Especially the Rocky Mountains. I love them so much that I sailed across the prairie in a U-Haul and settled in Montana. For me, there’ s nothing as relaxing as spending time in nature. The stress of living falls away and a sublime calmness overtakes me. I get a similar feeling being on the coast, but the difference is primarily aesthetic. It’ s like liking pizza more than ice cream or ice cream more than pizza. It’ s just a matter of taste.
About The Author Anthony Vernon
My name is Anthony Vernon I was born in Miami. I am a creative person with a huge imagination. However, I do not have any creative talents, however I became a writer. I love writing because it lets my ideas follow out of my head and onto papers. I am a person with many interests I love cartoons, history, music, and sports.
I grew up uncertain of what I wanted to do with my life. I had some many interests I would flip flop all the time on what I was set to do. I began to write songs because I enjoyed writing essays for school and I loved music. I soon lost interest in song writing because I could not truly release what I want to with a couple song lyrics. Then I decided to do research into my favorite cartoon creators especially Seth Macfarlane. Learning more about people like Seth made me want to be a writer for animated tv shows.
I finally committed to the idea of being a writer. I still prefer script writing however I also go about writing in other formats to expand myself.
Aside from my work I am a fun dude. Overall I am a very positive person. I have to mottos first“ Life is Good” second“ What we think we become” said by Buddha.
My specific interests include; Family Guy( tv show), Frank Ocean( musician), Adventure Time( tv show), Miami Dolphins( football), SpongeBob SquarePants( tv show), Kanye West( musician), OFWGKTA( rap group), Green Day( musical group), Maroon 5( musical group), Miami Heat( basketball), and I love World History.
