My arrival/comeback tour is one day ahead of schedule. I hope that's okay with you.

Off to Madison I go...See you there.

I thought that I would be blogging alot because I have so much time on my hands, but I do nothing all day so there is nothing exciting to talk about. With this said I will give a quick run down of my past week, the first week in Glenview.

1. Got very sick and did nothing, but sleep and chug Robatussin for four days
2. Went to the Fireside to see Rainer Maria on Thursday
a)Got a free beer from the bartender. Who cares about making new friends when everybody knows you should become friends with the bartender first.
b). This band called Sleeping at Last played before Rainer Maria. First, if you're in a band act like you are having fun and not like it's torture to play in front of 300 people. Essentially, the people in the crowd are paying for you to eat or drink after the show, the least you could do is smile. Secondly, Sleeping at Last...Very ironic, that name. After six beers and that shite music I was in need of a cat nap. They were really boring. Really boring. Lastly, the lead singer was creepy and extra wussy. If Teen People did a story on wussy emo guys he would definitely have at least a page to himself.
c)Rainer Maria was okay
3. The Moose(aka Meghan) came to visit
4. We went to Great America. I haven't been there in 9 years. It was grand. They have built alot new rides since then. Veritcal Velocity is bomb.
5. I am a master at the water gun games. I won the Moose four stuffed animals playing those games. Beating little kids is fun. Kidding. I beat this little kid, but I gave him the stuffed animal anyway.
6. Signed a lease for an apartment on Ashland and Belmont. It's only 3 blocks away from my favorite Colombian restaurant in Chicago. Also, everything in the apartment is brand new.
7. I still have no job! Woohoo! Who need work anyway? I should get paid to download songs on the computer

Listen up people. I know some of you who read this don't have a destination in life right now so I will give you an offer. It seems like right now we need to sign the lease for the beginning of September, but two of the roommates have a place till October. So the question is... who wants to live in a brand new apartment for a month in Chicago. It's a nice location with a parking garage(so I'm told) four bedrooms, two floors, two full bathrooms and a rooftop patio. All this for 400 dollars a month. It's a steal kids. If you don't like the price we might be able to negotiate, but lets get serious. I lived on Pinckney St. for 400 dollars in a very old house where the only the exciting landmarks were James Madison Park and The Pub. At this lovely apartment you will by the the Metro, lots of parks, and lots of pubs. Well I don't know about lots of parks, but I'm certain about the other two. Plus, parks are over rated. Did I mention I get to be your roommate? What do you think? Email me if you are interested. I know you are...

I am dying. My head feels like it is about to explode. I feel so mad, I feel so angry. Go away cold, go away.

Oh, here I am in Glenview, IL blogging away from a computer in my parents house. Luckily the parents decided to go down to Colombia and see how the business was going. So I'm here with all the benefits and no hassle. Free food, free laundry, air conditioning, digital cable, clean bathrooms, etc. As I write I am battling a severe cold. I believe this cold will be the one that finally brings me down. Does anybody see the irony in this? I don't get sick for over a year and the first day back in hell I am struck by this terrible illness. The highlight of the past day has including drinking mass quantities of Robatussin and slepping.

Other than that I've also done some downloading. There is a Boxcar Racer song that is a blantant ripoff of the Alkaline Trio. Also downloaded the some new Sparta which sounds hot.

I must say it is weird not being in Madison right now. I like that place. Hopefully, I'll have a new apartment real soon. I don't want to spill the beans, but the outlook is looking good and surprisingly cheap. It is also wierd having a girlfriend in Madison and being in Chicago, but the outlook is good and surprisingly sane. Oh yes, I will be in Madison on the 30th for the Hey Mercedes show. Speaking of shows, lots of show coming up. That is one plus of being in Chicago. This Thursday at the Fireside-Rainer Maria, Labor Day at the Metro-Phantom Planet, Sept 13th-Bright Eyes, Sept 20th-Taking Back Sunday, Oct 25 in Milwaukee-Saves the Day, Kind of Like Spitting, and Ash. I'm really liking the future. I have a nice sane girl, good shows coming up, about to sign a lease for a nice place in the city(which is surprisingly cheap, but all brand new) now all I need is a jobby job. Until tomorrow...

Oh to be homeless...How does a homeless person get a hold of a computer? I don't know either. I'll be blogging up a storm starting Sunday when I make my homecoming to Glenview, IL. So it seems like the plans have changed and Chicago will be the new destination. Since I don't drive my only stipulations were that I lived next to some music venue. In about 4 hours there will be a apartment showing next to the Metro. Works for me. Being in Madison right now makes me feel like the kid that graduated high school, but who still came to all the football games even though he had already graduated.

Yes, tonight is the night. All you motherfuckers better be at my house tonight. I mean all of you. It's going to be off the porch if you know what I'm sayin sayin. Just don't bring anybody that wants to steal or break things or fight. Well, if you want to break things just ask me and I'll probably say yes. I kissed the bottle, I should have been kissing you Oh yeah, and the girl with the red hair and glasses is with me so don't mess. Come around 11 or 12. It will be fun. Bring some Jager. Bring some drugs. This is like Hulk Hogan and Zeus, no holds barred. Just in case you don't remember the address is 215 N. Pinckney.Don't be offended if you didn't get an invitation. I printed out 20 and I still have 20. I'm lazy and I've been to busy getting busy.

In other news... I'm starting to fall for the girl with the red hair and glasses, but I'm leaving in a week. What to do?

In other news...Bears....Chicago Bears...Urlacher...Ditka...Sausage...Polish Sausage.

So come to my going away party(even though I don't where I'm going) and if you don't come you are never allowed to read this blog again. You hear me.
