Hot Doug's

Just got back from a trip to Hot Doug's. It was delicious, of course. I had a roasted peppers and provolone dog and also the Keira Knightley. Also some cheesy tots. It was a great meal.

The Hills

I was up at around 4 in the morning last night and needed a break from reading, so I started watching the newest episode of The Hills on MTV. I learned that it is hands down the lamest/addictive show on tv. I hate the characters, yet for some reason I watched the entire episode. I learned two things:

1. There is a place in Colorado called Crested Butte

2. I guess it's cool to be a tambourine player in a band, cause some French dude got on the show just for that. Seriously though, a tambourine player? I would rather be that asshole violinist in Yellowcard.

Irish people like to drink

Irish people like to drink, and have a good time. I went to the Irish South Side parade this past sunday and had a great time (although I look pissed in this picture). It was my first time there and it certainly was an experience. Especially after meeting Lar-Dog. This kid randomly and drunkenly stumbled up to me and introduced himself as Lar-Dog. He exclaimed that if I called him Larry or Lawrence, he would kick my ass. I think he was about 18 years old because he could not handle alcohol. He was so drunk he couldn't even figure out how to use his phone. Lar-Dog was awesome.




(the other guy in the picture is not actually Lar-Dog. it's Tommy D)

This winter, presented in video form

I always have liked winter, except I'm glad it's going to be over soon. I'm sure this guy is glad also:



Oh Jeez....That was a bad idea!

This winter, presented graphically

Later Chicago/winter, I am fucking out of here for a lot of days.

LABOR DAY, 2002

i'LL BE POSTING A FEW OF THE GREATEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE IN THE UPCOMING WEEKS. HERE IS ONE OF THEM:

Labor day weekend 2002 coming home to Carbondale thinking it might be my last time so we were going to make it memorable. Joey and I loaded up a car with a couple bottles of piss and ready for fun. We went to Herrin and driving over there, we see our old friends driving next to us on the road. they roll down their windows to say hi, so of course we nail them with one of the bottles of piss. We then get to Herrin and hang out with John, and he tells us how he was pissed at his brother and his mom. He told us his brother was having a party at his mom's, so we should go there and fuck some things up. So we head out, but not before stealing his brother's video camera. We get the party and are just chilling out kind of being asses, but nothing too crazy. until joey tells me to come see the bathroom with him. i walk in and see a pile of shit in the tub. joey shit in the tub!!! we then run out of the house with everyone in shock. i was drinking out of one of the mom's wine glasses so i just throw it and it shatters and the outside wall of the house. we jump in the car and start reversing it, but for some reason Danni jumps in the open back window. she is hanging out while we start moving and she just falls out of the car. Driving away, we see an old lady walking down the street. We pull up next to her and nail her with the last bottle of piss.
