Usually its just a walk to the store or for coffee, though sometimes I sit in the park and do sudoku. On today's walk, I realized how nature has a natural balance for protection of itself. I noticed how with sun shining brightly that the trees are now covered with leaves and provide shade. They are providing natures cooling centers for humans and other animals along with smaller vegetation like smaller trees and plants. Then in the winter when all these things are looking for as much warmth while outside they shed their leaves to protect themselves but also to allow more sunlight. Its natural balance like this that makes me not be an atheist.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-61673979447391590022009-01-13T08:10:00.000-08:002009-01-13T08:13:02.074-08:00Theme Songs for Our corrupt GovernorThe Tribune, WGN and Red-eye have a contest for song writers to write songs about Governor <span class="caption">Blagojevich and using the theme "Keep love in your heart.

It has certainly helped that the cubs have been doing so awesome. They have the best record in Baseball and I am guessing the best record at home since I know they had been doing much better at home then away. If the win tonight it will be 10 straight wins.<br /><br />Otherwise besides that last week, Keri and I also took our first Dance lessons. Keri can be a little crazy at times since she imagined that we would be amazing, like Fred Astair, at our first lesson. However we did go to a wedding this past weekend and practiced our box step. Otherwise we went to the Broadway in Chicago show called "Avenue Q" on Monday night. Unfortunatly I had to work that night at 9:30 so we left at intermission. However the first act I saw was hillarious.<br />Do give you an idea of the style of musical here are some of the songs:<br />The Internet Is for Porn<br />It Sucks To Be Me<br />I'm Not Wearing Underwear Today<br />If You Were Gay<br />My Girlfriend Who Lives in Canada<br /><br />The show is a combination of actors and actors with puppets on their arms where the puppets are the characters. I know its only in Chicago till the end of the week but if you get a chance to see it somewhere else then please do.<br /><br />Last night a group of us went to the "Death Cab for Cutie" show are Millenium park. The band was great. They played for almost two hours. I had not heard alot of their songs off there new album but they still played a lot of their older stuff which rocked. If you have the means of checking them out then I highly recommend it. They are so choice. The photo is from the show where Mel and Mike did not know we were behind them. <br /><br />Otherwise we have two days off and then I have TK's bachelor party. So lots going on. I hope your all having fun.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-19511575801856905802008-05-28T22:02:00.001-07:002008-05-28T22:07:01.089-07:00I am 3-0<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwmnwISimnV5xG9UNCjDC84ll1Je8pej2AP5-V4gpNmLET0kUptMi3JFE1kT5UXyat2eaCTxoqSSX10wjkUHFO__vDrsZhgztImLvJbkCsSzvGjiylP7gFFCIEV68TBmQUJW-VR_o5jydo/s1600-h/Cubs+Win.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwmnwISimnV5xG9UNCjDC84ll1Je8pej2AP5-V4gpNmLET0kUptMi3JFE1kT5UXyat2eaCTxoqSSX10wjkUHFO__vDrsZhgztImLvJbkCsSzvGjiylP7gFFCIEV68TBmQUJW-VR_o5jydo/s320/Cubs+Win.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205660941546111058" border="0" /></a>Thanks again to Mel and Mike for taking us to the game tonight. It was a blast. Cubs win in the 10th inning. The only run on LA's side was walked in by Big Z. Then the Cubs game back and tied it in the 9th to win in the 10th. Awesome game. I did realize that I have gone to 3 games this year, all in May and the Cubs have one everyone. <br /><br />Also this picture is from my phone and its the other side of the standium. We had great seats right near the field on the first base line. Right in front of the Dodgers bull pin. The photo is ove the LCD display on the third base line. Not to bad for a phone that I pretty much drop on the ground daily.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-88785254108791977082008-05-21T12:32:00.000-07:002008-05-21T12:36:00.113-07:00Kingdom of the Crystal SkullIf you plan on seeing the new Indiana Jones movie then SciFi Channel has a documentary where they are trying to track down the real crystal skulls.

Its called "Mystery of the Crystal Skulls".Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-42332929752319209262008-05-01T13:21:00.000-07:002008-05-01T13:31:07.349-07:00Hurray for RBV'sI really hate paying a lot for drinks. However I hate it even more when a bar is charging you for a $2 can of Red Bull yet using the other brands energy drinks without informing you or charging it cheaper. These bars get the syrup for the energy drink just like soda at a huge discount but then charge what other bars charge for true red bull. It sucks that red bull only comes in cans and that overhead is always passed on to you however, i only want to pay for what I actually get. <br /><br />A few years back a new bar in Chicago opened not to far from where a group of us lived. One night we all went there. I ordered a red bull and vodka and noticed he poured the "energy drink" out of the soda gun. Steve at the same time had order a rum and coke and commented on how it tasted different. Being the way I am, I got into an argument with the bar tender that he did not give me red bull. He kept saying he did and I pointed out that Red Bull only comes in a can and not a gun. After about 20 minutes the bartender finally admitted that it was RC's version of Red Bull. This now made since to why steve's drink tasted funny since it was an RC and rum. This bar had gone with RC's products in order to cut costs. I can understand that point however don't try to pass your cheapness off as the stuff that we ordered. If I order a rum and coke, I expect the person to tell me its pepsi or RC before they give me my drink. I am usually fine with it, I just want to know that I am getting something different then I ordered. Same goes now with the energy drink market. I understand that Red Bull is costly and harder to keep since you have to make sure you have enough cans. However just make sure that your not screwing the customer by charging $8 for a red bull and vodka yet your really not using the expensive product. <br />I am done bitching now. <br /><br />http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-thu-red-bullmay01,0,5083163.storyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-53817318989145816122008-04-13T13:53:00.000-07:002008-04-13T16:53:11.746-07:00Ahh New Orleans<p>So on my way back to the hotel this morning at about 4am in New orleans this was going on in front the of the hotel.

Mind you I opened the door and they came from another floor but they were almost at my door within seconds of opening it. Once outside I still felt the cat made a big interest to my porch neighbors. I also left a bowl of milk outside which the cat did not drink at all at least at this point. Also this was the most behaved cat I have ever seen so maybe its because it does not like milk. I love milk and I am a giant bowl full of crazy. So maybe milk is the big problem in society. Think about that for a while.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-74926087817117174292008-03-27T00:04:00.000-07:002008-03-27T00:19:20.968-07:00Not sure what to doSo I am working late and I get some water from the kitchen and I hear a cat. I kind of ignore it since I figure its the neighbors apartment or I am finally going crazy. However I go to the kitchen again a while later and this time I think I need to give into my craziness and check whether or not there really is a cat meowing on the back porch. I go outside I confirm once again my own sanity. There is an orange cat there. I go outside and pet it for a bit and then figure I can look for anyone who might have a light still on. The cat follows me to each floor. I am kind of amazed. I grew up with cats but never saw one that was willing to follow you. I went to ever floor and all lights were off. I finally asked the cat(yeah still sane) where they lived. I did this by going towards each door and seeing how the cat reacted. After all the doors I realized that I think it is my across the porch neighbors. At least the cat jumped on there door and did not on any other. I finally decided to not let the cat in though I actually opened the door at one point with the intention to. The cat did not come in at least within in about30 seconds I had the door open. Either way I realized i can not support a cat in my place, I have no food or litter box and realized that if I took the cat in then the people who are missing the may get even more worried. I did make sure the back door to the back porch was closed and that the cat could not be let out but I felt kind of guilty not taking it in. Though I thought about the fact that I would have the cat until I found the owner which would worry the owner and I am not sure I can handle a cat in my place. I have still checked and the cat is on the back porch. I wish whoever took care of it would also notice that they were not in their place. I feel bad for not taking the cat in but at the same time I realized this is not an issue I need to take on. I looked at each door and knock twice at my neighbors, even though their lights were off, and still no reaction. I am going to post a note tomorrow morning at the mail box to figure out whose cat so I know for future reference. <br /><br />We will see how that goes.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-64678480401854719132008-03-26T07:16:00.000-07:002008-03-26T07:24:33.581-07:00Apples Vs. CoffeeI am sure you have all seen these. In the bathroom at a bar it had one of those list of random trivia facts. The point that caught my interest was that it stated "An apple wakes you up better then caffeine". I love apples. So now every morning I wake up and have an apple and I have to say once your done eating it the cob webs are pretty much gone from your head. So I highly recommend giving it a try.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-67628754211590088332008-03-24T21:39:00.000-07:002008-03-24T21:47:42.004-07:00I love the CBS monday line upI grew up with the Must See TV or what ever the hell they were calling it on Thursday. Thursday was the sit-com night when I was younger. Now I have found that CBS Mondays are the best sitcom night on television. They have Big Bang Theory which might is humorous from the point of view of social akward geek(I think they are more nerds though) try to deal with somewhat social situations. Then you have "How I met your mother" which I think has to be the best sitcom on television for our generation. After that you have "Two and a half Men" which is such a guilty pleasure. There is not much substance to the show but its just damn funny. The to close it off they have "The new adventure of the old christine". She is really the first ex-seinfeld cast member to have a good show. The self deprecating humor in the show makes me actually laugh out loud. So if your bored on Mondays, or you miss Heroes then I recommend CBS's line up.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-24718474832063696312008-03-21T20:45:00.000-07:002008-03-21T20:51:50.845-07:00Afraid of the WIINow that I have the WII and I have time to play it.

I was going to go to a show tonight but with the weather and the fact that I am exhausted from the week I figure its better to just watch some tv and go to sleep which I plan on doing soon. <br /><br />Once I start playing I will let you all know how much I love it.

Well I am at another crossroads with a homework assignment for my C++ class. First I am kind of pissed that we took our final on this past Thursday yet he can still have homework due on Monday. I have been working on this assignment for a while but for some reason I just keep making it worse. I swear I thought I understand what it should be but it keeps giving me some damn errors. I really just want to get this stupid thing done. Also the problem with programming assignments is that you can not BS your way through it like a paper. So pretty much I need to figure out what I am doing wrong or not get credit for the assignment. <br /><br />I hate school.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-25984330024926898872008-03-13T22:37:00.000-07:002008-03-13T22:50:01.295-07:00Lost Theory updated-jumped the gunSo I started writing the post prior to the end of the show. I have now realized that we still have one slot open for the oceanic six, though I guess he could have died after being rescued. Though that goes back to the whole thing about last seasons finale, whose funeral did Jack go to? I still think it is Michaels or Ben's, though this show messes with you some much though. I guess Jin's tombstone states the date of the crash of the plane as his date of death. So it might mean that he just never got off the island and this was part of the story for the 6 survivors, since we learned from Jack's testimony in court, that they claimed all was dead except for the 6 that got off. <br /><br />Also so what happens to Michael or Desmond since they are both already on the freighter. I think Desmond dies and then Michael does survive and get off the island and he is the one that dies where Jack goes to his funeral.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-39223306308299388682008-03-13T22:25:00.000-07:002008-03-13T22:30:18.871-07:00Lost Theory updatedIf you have not seen 3-13's episode of lost and you care then stop reading. <br /><br />God I love being right. I forgot to post another reason for why it was michael. But after my last post I remember that Ben told Michael when he left the island to take the boat in a certain direction and he would run into a freighter. Obviously, Michael then believe that Ben somehow is good for letting him and his son go. <br /><br />Does anyone know whether this is the last season of Lost? I thought they had said it would be two more before this season started. However I can not imagine how this season is going to end and how they are going to have one more after. I guess maybe people go back to the island. I am also a little sad that we now know all the Oceanic 6. I was hoping there would be some mystery about who the last two were going to be.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-24354072239190814182008-03-06T21:30:00.000-08:002008-03-06T21:34:48.872-08:00Lost TheoryIf you watched tonights lost then I think the spy on the boat is Michael. Why the hell do they just not kill Ben. Seriously all problems solved. Though I guess they would have to end the show then.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-43699291336851206282008-03-04T19:56:00.000-08:002008-03-04T20:01:42.530-08:00Arrested DevelopmentFor those of you who were fans of the show, during the Oscar's there was a question about them making a movie. I guess the rumors are true though it looks like not much has been decided. <a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0901469/">IMDB has is listed only as announced</a> where it looks like some of the original actors have signed on where the rest are listed as "rumored". If you have not checked out the show before then go rent the DVD from netflix or your local video store. They only went three seasons however I do think it was one of the funniest shows ever put on television. You need to watch a few episodes to get to know all the personalities of each character though.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-48316958079967835482008-02-17T22:10:00.000-08:002008-02-17T23:01:33.088-08:00Memoirs of Times forgotten/Ode to an apartmentTonight is my last night in my old apartment. I have lived in this place for a little over 6.5 years. I am amazed when I think about how much has changed in the world since I moved in here. I start to think more about my life but a lot of it involves everyone else. I have to thank Steve G for coming by tonight and betting me on American Gladiators and letting me take your $10 dollars. It it was nice to have him here since the last time I moved it was when I last lived with him. Also Pablo stopped by for a bit. Same apartment yet he was already moved by the time we moved out prior. I took a video of me just walking around the apartment and getting a view of everything. I at least would love to show my kids one day the place I lived in when I met their mom. I have to say that its strange to feel an emotional connection to a place that I dont own, however this has really been the first home I ever had since my parents house. All the other apartments were just temporary living space. Its really hard to think back to all the times and situations that have happened to this apartment. I have to say that two really great things came out of this place. 1st of course is that I met Keri while living here. She brought it up on friday that she has slept here for over 5 years. Wow. The second is that I feel like after living together TK has become one of my closest friends. Before living together we were friends and had known each other from High School howerver we usually did not go out together unless Mark or Pablo were involved. Now we are both standing up our weddings. I am not sure how TK feels however I don't think I could have ever gotten to the place I am today without him. I feel like emotionally I have matured as we figured parts of our lives out. Its a sad but happy day for me. Its the start of a new era for me and the rest of my life with Keri. Its also the end of an era of this apartment. I will always remember this place with the utmost respect and awe. I still can not imagine the stories that could be told about this place over the years. I think that for the rest of my life this apartment will always have stories that are going to be told. Its hard to find a place that you can call home. Its even harder to leave home. However if you never leave home you can never keep growing and through that you can never realize that you can always make another home as long as your have love in your heart. <br /><br />Dear 3817 N. Lakewood Ave, Apt 3F, <br />It's not you it's me.( I had to start out classy)<br />You had to know this was coming for a while. I mean did you really think I got Keri the ring and you and I would still be together forever? I thought there were really big hints that would have given the situation away. TK never sleeping here any more I thought would have been a seal the deal situations. However I know how much faith you had in me. You thought that with TK gone you could finally have me all to yourself. The times that were magical. I don't even want to cheapen our time by explaining to other what we had. I just feel like since that we have really run our course in our relationship. I mean really did you think that we could go that much longer before you got a new paint job? I never wanted to bring it up in that past however your walls were looking a little dirty and stained. And not just washable stains. I am really hoping you are not taking any of this as criticism. I am only looking out for you future happiness and hoping that you can find some one who has loved you like I have however can provide the commitment you truly need. One day maybe my kids can come by and play in your condo's(since I am guessing at one point you are going to go through the operation). Either way I have to just say thanks for the greatest 6.5 years I can imagine. Without you my life would never be the same. <br /><br />Love<br />Dave(Your Tenant and lover in the middle room)<br /><br />To TK, Its really hard to put into word how much these years together have been. I still think back to use starting to live together. The weird part is I really can not remember any issues of having a new roomate and crap like that. Maybe its just me but I really feel like our lives here at Lakewood helped us get to the point we are today in order to be able to meet our lovely fiances. You have been the best roomate, a great confidant. a trusting support system and an amazing friends. I know that the rest of our lives will be amazing and that we will always be friends. However I will always look back on this apartment with fondest of memories and aweness(I know its now a word) of this place. Its really hard to compare our time here to anyone else I have ever known. The amount of situations and experiences that have happened here are enough to last a life time. Thanks for a great 6.5 years. I will miss you as a roomate though you will always be my friend and confidant. <br />Love<br />Dave<br /><br />Also thanks to all those people who have shared experiences with us at this apartment. If you have any fun photos of past events here. I would love to see them so please send them my way or uploaded them and send me the link. <br /><br />Otherwise its with a really sad heart that I put a close in this chapter of my life It's always been hard for me to deal with the idea of change. The general idea freaks me out. I will say that with such a big change as this happening, I am not a freaked out as I thought I would be. The main reason is that I realized though this ends a very important chapter in my life, it begins an even bigger one. From now on the book of my life is no longer just mine, the story now has a heroine who now plays as much as a role as I do. The rest of the story has already begun but I am so excited to see how the rest of it will be with you. <br /><br />Thanks for the learning experiences, friends I have gained, loves gained, life lived, life lived(it really needed to be said twice), random crap that overall was a blast, and in general as a place that I always thought of as home. I really will miss you.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-70893225375221115992008-02-13T13:33:00.001-08:002008-02-13T13:34:38.144-08:00Update on WIISo I had to return my WII. I was not a happy camper at all. I am going to swing by again this Saturday and see if they have another one. I may actually buy two this time and once I know one works then I will return the other. Since I could have done that last saturday but who would have thought I would have gotten a bad one. Sucks.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2448882001019008313.post-12099974505269324222008-02-11T09:50:00.000-08:002008-02-11T09:57:36.846-08:00Mission Not AccomplishedI had a plan to blog on Saturday with the Title "Mission Accomplished" . The reason being that after numerous trips to Best Buy in Dec, Jan and Feb I finally found a WII in stock and I bought one. I became obsessed with the idea of getting one a little before Christmas then Keri said my Christmas present would be a WII. I told her we could split the cost. <br />I had heard stories from Friends that Best Buy gets new WII's on Tuesday and Thursdays mornings. I kept checking the best buy on Clark but no luck. Finally last weekend we went to the Best Buy on Elston and they said that their product shipments come in Monday and Friday nights so the following morning is when you might be able to get one. I went to the BB on Elston and go there about 9:45 and there was already people waiting outside. With in less then 2 minutes of opening, all 6 WII's had been removed from the shelf by customers, with me being one of the lucky few. Keri and I ran errands all day so it was not till the evening that I finally got a chance to try it out. And to my suprise nothing appeared on the screen. I ended up trying it on 3 different TV's and realized it was not the TV. So I called Nintendo yesterday and they think its either a bad video cable or bad hard drive. I am hoping for bad video cable. I will be hitting Best Buy tonight and having them test it. So wish me luck.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
