Apparently this is becoming my 'what of the future' journal but maybe that's just the mood i've been in lately. I've got some catering jobs coming up for the holidays so I can actually bring in some money instead of just spending it. I also might get to go skiing with my family over Christmas (just northern Michigan, but it's something). It used to ( Read more... )

I recently finished reading Glamorama again and while it was certainly a different experience the second time around I couldn't help walking away from it with the same feeling as the first time. I cannot help but feel sorry for Victor even though throughout the book he demonstrates himself to be a rather deplorable human being. He undergoes such ( Read more... )

Well i know it's been a while but a long time has passed where i just didn't feel like writing, and it didn't seem like forcing it was really the right thing to do. Even though I've been in Chicago around 3 months now, things still haven't really totally settled in. I have a job but it barely requires me to work so I'm looking for another one.

I just realized that i never posted all the pictures from CLEANSED for everyone to see. Go here to see them all. I highly recommend using the slideshow option to see them all full-size.

I am moving to Chicago between August 15th and 22nd. After that time I will be living in Chicago shortly off the corner of Pine Grove and Addison. I will be two blocks from lake michigan, and 4 blocks from Wrigley Field in Wrigleyville. Just so you all know. Pictures and more information will follow after I move in.

So I went and saw The Verve Pipe at the Taste of Kalamazoo last night. Why do you ask? Because i got in for free with friends of mine who knew one of the security people working the event. It wasn't a bad show and was I suppose worth the nothing I payed to get in, though I've never been at a concert full of so many people who are not fans of a band ( Read more... )

Finally an article looking back on the life of Ronald Reagan that doesn't praise him.

The man who taught Republicans to be irresponsible.
