Oh well, you can't be asking for too much. It is summer and too nice to be inside. Anyways, today (Fri) was a good day. I celebrated my brother's birthday early, by only about 4 months. But there was some method to my madness. Since my little bro is going to be 16 this November, I thought it would be nice if we attended a Cubs Game together ( Read more... )

Gotta figure out what to spend it on. I was thinking about a bike for the lakeside trail, general city commuting, and possibly a off-road trip every once in a while. Anyone have any suggestions for a bike that can handle all that for under $400? I sure hope so, otherwise I have my work cut out for me looking around ( Read more... )

Haven't had anything to really write about in the last two weeks. I worked, went to class, and basically hung out. This past weekend was spent at Wrigley Field, where I had front row bleachers for two very, very disappointing losses for the Cubbies. Oh well, at least I got the farmer's tan that I wanted. :oP ( Read more... )

I'm back (at the frat) and happier than ever. Sure I was having fun with my family, but it's just not the same, especially when your friends will be leaving for other schools ( Read more... )

Go crazy?! Don't mind if I do ( Read more... )

don't worry, and the Cubs show everyone who's the boss. Go winning streak ( Read more... )

How plans change. This morning I was awoken to one of the bros asking if I wanted to go to the dog track, decided a couple of hours against it and reverted back to the original Holy Grail plan. Getting ready to leave, we get a call from one of the guys. A band he knows is playing a carnival and wonders if we want to go. Sure. Turns out that ( Read more... )

Although I can be frequently found complaining about my job (more specifically, management), I truly enjoy myself while there. Where else can I bullshit around between customers, catch a game of ball while hanging out with a couple of great girls, and leave work happy and aching to work again? Only here that I know of ( Read more... )

to my Cubbies?? Lose a couple to the Sox and then proceed to lose a few more...no problem, the fans don't mind, we're actually quite used to it. Oh well, I'll be able to witness the revenge when I catch the Windy City Classic from the bleachers of the Friendly Confines on my B-Day...now that's a present! (Too bad I bought the tickets for myself ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I worked at the ballpark where my team proceeded to lose 13-0. woohoo. Today, worked for about 7 hours day doing the basement...it's easy work, I enjoy it. Other than that, I played a marathon of RBI Baseball games with my bud. Five back-to-back games, with the last being 15-14 (each side hit a grand slam). We figured that we would ( Read more... )
