Ouch

I feel like this guy today.

I have horrible posture and could stand to be a bit more fit I guess. All I really want is for the pain to go away. These are nice though.

Jump On

For the low low price of $15, you too can jump on the Bears Bandwagon and look like a true fan.

I was out shopping with Tequila Red on Saturday afternoon. I was browsing the isles of Strange Cargo when I overheard some girl that was probably born in or after 1985 ask the person on the other end of her cell phone "Was 'The Refrigerator' know as 'The Sweetness'?"

I jammed the shirt I was looking at back on the rack, Found Tequila and proclaimed that we were leaving, right now.

I assume this girl also has a Konerko Jersey somewhere in her closet, probably right next to her Wrigley Field Bleachers T-Shirt.

Poor Thing.

Sports on TV

So I watch a lot of sports on TV. If there is a ball and a way to score with it, I'll watch. Tennis, golf, baseball, basketball, football it doesn't matter. One of the things I see regularly when watching some sort of game is some jackass holding his cellphone to his ear and waving wildly in the stands.

Look at me, I'm on TV.

I despise these types. You're not on TV, you just happen to be part of the background in the shot of some professional player. No one is watching the game to see you in the stands, they are watching the people on the field, or court, or whatever.

Last night I had the opportunity to sit in some good seats at the Bulls vs. Mavericks game; 6 rows off the floor at center court. About half way through the 3rd quarter my phone rings. I pull it out of my pocket and see on the Caller ID that the call is from my parents house. It's my Dad. He's watching the game and wants to know where I am sitting. I give him my general location to which he replies:

"Stand up and wave so I can see you!"

feeling like a complete hypocrite I stick my arm up in the air and wave it. "Do you see me waving?"

Concert Dad: "No, stand up, what are you wearing?"
CJ: (I describe what I am wearing) "see me now?"
CD: "Are you waving right now?"
CJ: "Listen, this is stupid, I gotta go, this is a great game..."
CD: "Your brother (who just had surgery and is not really supposed to move much) wants to see you and your sister on TV, stand up and wave!!"

So I was that jackass in the stands with my phone jammed into my ear waving like an idiot so my little brother could see me on TV.

This happened to me once before. I had seats right behind home plate at Wrigley. Only it was Concert Mom who called, to tell me that I was on TV and that I needed to behave myself and not drink so much. I gave her the finger and chugged my beer.

Anniversary

Today is the 21st Anniversary of the 1985 Bears Super Bowl Win.

Fox Not News Channel

Last week a news story came out of the Fox Not News camp about Barrak Obama attending a radical Muslim school, and that Hillary Clinton's camp leaked that info to the press. Obama fights back here.

Well this story, like so many from Fox News, was proved to be quite wrong.

Now the Fox Not News poster child and sexual predator Bill O'Reilly is saying that kid nap victim and possible sex abuse victim Shawn Hornbeck enjoyed his stay with his captor. What an ass.

In other news, AirTran seems to be getting the public support for removing that screaming kid from one of their flights prior to take off.

Hit the throttle, throw the bottle!

The half-time show during the Bulls game last night was a dog and trainer. The dog was doing various tricks and generally was entertaining. I had no idea how entertaining it was about to become. You see the Bulls have a mini blimp that flies around in the stadium during half time. Around the time the blimp was deployed, the dog was busy jumping through hoops, and rolling over when suddenly she spied the blimp. The dog stopped all tricks, looked at the blimp from center court and suddenly she bolted after the blimp barking and chasing it all around the court.

Also making an appearance to a thunderous applause was Staley Da Bear. The Chicago bears have taken over the city. Every news story on TV is some how related to the Bears;

"There is a 3 car pile up on the Kennedy, but Brian Urlacher and Robbie Gould have arrived on the scent and traffic is moving at its regular pace. In other news, Coach Lovie stopped 3 bank robberies, one short of the 4 Ditka stopped in his Super Bowl year."

The basketball game itself was pretty boring.


This morning, like pretty much every morning, I woke up and had the urge to pee. Like pretty much every morning, I laid in bed trying to ignore that urge. Then the radio alarm went off. I have my radio set to the Loop for the Johnny B. show. The topic being discussed was the Trucker Bomb.

Needless to say, I wasn't able to ignore my urge to pee for very long.

AirTran Airways flight attendants are my new hero's.

Movin' On Up, To The East Side

Well, the North side anyway.

Over the weekend I informed my roommate/land lord that I am actively looking for a new apartment. We had discussed this before, but nothing was ever definitive or set. I told him I was planning on being out as early as March. He took the news kind of hard. We shared a few bottles of wine, I passed out on the couch.

The next few weeks I will be Apartment hunting. The nice thing about the hunt is I can shop around until I find the perfect place for me as I have no 'Move By' date set in stone.



Also, GO BEARS!

Super Bears, Super Bowl!

I am still in awe.

Bear Down.

Monsters of the Midway.

Two Stories for Steve #2

Story #1

Story #2

and here's something for the rest of you.

Someone

Someone out there is cyberspace should buy me this.

Puke

So after feeling woozy last evening, and not sleeping well due to being hot and cold all night (not to mention some pretty freaky dreams) I woke up this morning and promptly went to the bathroom and puked. I then started the shower, puked again and then continued to get ready for work. I had some important stuff to do today and figured I'd get outta here by lunch.

Well, I'm still here.


Tomorrow I start looking at apartments in my new quest for a better neighborhood.

Yum

food for thought

I can't wait to get one of these.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end
