I need something interesting and out of this world to do, or to keep me occupied. Also, does anybody know where in Chicago you can find Candy Orange Slices? It seems every place I go to, they're non-existent!

As I was walking from a night of Video Gaming, trudged down Belmont. I was in need of pants, so I headed to the Something Old Something New Consignment shop. Looking more like a Plato's Closet in a warehouse, I stepped in, finding pants my size, just not too accomadating to my ass. Luckily, the art of squeezing in allowed me to find one pair of bearable tight jeans. Along with tight fitting pair of jordache's, I found some loosy goosy jeans just for the comfy days at work, along with a webbed  belt(like the military ones), which are my favorites, and last longer than the leathers.

After that, not wanting to immediately go home, and needing to get tape for my Demoman Costume, I walked down Belmont. I walked past a shop full of novelties and oddities, named Uncle Dans. I couldn't help but stop and look in. I got excited at the amount of novelties. The spinning tops brought back memories of Summer Story and how cool I thought it would have a Spinning Top Battle epic as the one in the movie. I looked around in other places, finding little toys of baby bottles. Seeming like a place that could hold everything, I asked if they had a penguin mask(something to wear as an alternate to the Demoman costume, since I was in the Linux Group, aka Penguin).  They said no, but I still took a card. After that, I walked on, turning down Southport, seeing a sight for sore eyes.

Jehovah's Witnesses were just getting done with their rounds. I walked up to say how, and see if they got any bites. Since I moved to their congregation, I haven't been out as much, but it was always good to see them, especially near my part of town. They said a few, and they asked if I lived nearby. I told them yes, but a little north. I told them I'd see them later though, and walked on.

15 or so minutes, I finally hit the True Value Hardware store. I head down to the aisle with tape, and find that they don't have a huge roll of green or yellow tape...but only small yellows. I 3 small yellows and the behemoth black rolls, then go up front, waiting for the cashier. 12 dollars. Awesome!!

From there, I walk two blocks...and throughout the time, I continue on thinking of things I liked, if this was filmed, what the first part of my day would reveal about me.

What do you think it reveals?

Threadless has a store......my money is now going out the window(aside from the bills, rent, and other things I have to throw away).

I will try to be the comedian.

And when I say comedian, I mean the clown. The person who has faults, but is so dramatic, or so dense, or, just really doesn't care, she makes the whole room laugh. Coming from a family of such people, and school of sarcastics *coughdepaulcough*, I've learned a lot about making the world around me smile. And, though it may be frustrating at times, it seems like it's stapled an uberhuge "KICK ME" sign on my back, which I bear proudly by the way. It a wonderful, epedemic, glorious feeling, and once something is kicked my way, the bomb of ultra-reactions go off.

Yet, lately, I've been slightly out of form. Summer has brought times where I people just avoided the sign, that it meant something comical, sometimes even noting it to be a fault (I mean, they have a point, how can you get a man with such a sign?), literally kicking me in the back. Instead of being the clown of the circus, I in a rodeo, being chased by a bull. I felt so horrible...wanting to scream, shout, and cry. And very soon, I lost the meaning of the sign as well.

However, one day, I saw people who needed to "Kick Me" in the back, yet not as a bad thing. I had realized from them, that the only reason that the sign was there in the first place, is because I was me, and though it's a stupid sign, its MY sign...it's my joy, my little slice of life. So...carefully...I took  off the staple, and placed that nice sign in front of the world, and right over my heart.

How Shia LeBeouf has become a little bit more handsome?



I was wondering who that guy was in Disturbia...but when I found out it was him...I was like  wow...dark and handsom....

I had bought  "So Much for the Afterglow" from the Thrift Store my sophomore or junior year while my dad was shopping there(as my parents always do). Thrift store had gotten much more interesting in that respect, cause I found the album cheap, as well as a Dave Matthews CD too. On the ride home, I popped in "So Much for the Afterglow" into the  CD player of my dad's car. Hearing the titled album song blaring, my dad said it sounded like the Beach Boys from the tone that they were harmonizing. 5 seconds later, it changed it's beat, where I immediately wanted to start doing a drum solo, and laugh at my dad almost dying from the shock song suddenly going into a hard rock.

Since then, I've really dived into rock, and love it death. That's quite weird considering my background of hip-hop and R&B(staples of the african-american culture, or so I've been told). Of course, it's never been too big of a shock as it was to my dad, or the rest of my family. Since I was about twelve staying up watching alternative on VH1 Insomniac theater, I've been quite enchanted by rock, which has made my world excellent. Even my family has started to appreciate more musical tastes now because of it, so now it's not so shocking.

Anyways, I just thought I'd bring that out. I really don't have much to say, beside the fact that I'm just...needing to rock out. And Boy, is Everclear good for that.

Taken From Project JamFish728:

Largo and clothing....take one!!

So yes, I think that is probably the cutest thing ever produced for manga. Largo is just so confuzzled, and he's trying to be so...well...largo.

So last night, I went to go see Dreamgirls across town(somehow the dixie dozen didn't have it....which is strange considering they'd bank since they're the only cinema in our area up till you get to the north side of town). Anyways...


IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE.


for a person who's been to see musicals on stage and their adaptations on film, it has to be one of the best shows I've seen. The story of three divas on the rise in the times of Motown and big hair wigs had music and storyline, and you could definitely feel the characters. It was up to the point where you were totally engrossed in the storyline. The main reason for this?

Effie, EFFIE, EFFIE.

After hearing the song "And I am Telling You I'm Not Going" you know you got your dollars worth in this movie( it made not only me but the WHOLE audience clap). Jennifer Hudson's performance, though being her first time not only in a musical, but a movie adaptation, truly gave a wonderful performance got the standing ovation it deserved.  As she entered the scene you just had to stop and stare. She made you chuckle as she gave jokes and gave a her sassy and vibrant attitude. You also felt her struggle, which just SUNK you into the story line. And yes, I may be a hater... but I was just keeping score to see if Beyonce could catch up(Jennifer won, 2-1[or 1/2]). Though the story didn't seem to give mainly who was lead, Ms Hudson stole the show, and made sure the people were kept in their seats.

This series I'm not only watching for the intrigue....but also cause it hits waaaaaaay to close to home. All you have to do is switch the subject of sports for technology and gaming, change the color of the girl, and you have it RIGHT on the nose. (I mean, the series storyline is even based IN Chicago!!!).

I got this in my email. Me and my roomate laughed with delight.

On Tuesday, November 21st, you may notice an even larger-than-usual
crowd in the DePaul Center Plaza between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

That's because what's believed to be the World's Largest Rubber Band
Ball will be on display. Representatives from the Guinness Book of World
Records will be there to weigh the giant rubber band ball, which is
more than 5 feet tall and 19 feet in circumference, to determine if it is
truly the world's largest. The rubber band ball was created by Steve
Milton of Eugene, Oregon with the help of his six-year-old son.

The event will include musical entertainment and is expected to draw a
large contingent of media. It is being sponsored by Office Max and the
Chicago Festival Association, which produces the Chicago Thanksgiving
Day Parade. This event is part of the week long activities tied to the
parade. Why are we participating? Why not! It will be good fun and bring
a bit of positive exposure for DePaul and Loop Campus.

See you at the weigh in!
