So I finally got a job and it's at a place I very much like. It's a nice boutique in a white part of town and I'll be doing mostly sales but have my hand in the visuals as well. It's hard to move up the ranks at smaller places but I feel that I can make an impact and get the ball rolling anywhere anymore. Check the website for brand lists.

I am now "couch surfing" until I start generating enough cash flow to move back out on my own. It's not so bad and I've totally done this before. In about 2 or 3 weeks I'll be needing a roommate so if any of ya'll wanna move to the city let me know.

These past few weeks I've come to realize how much I enjoy my current living situation. Since moving out on my own roughly 3 years ago this is the first time I've felt completely at home. In just a few short days I'll be moving out of this apartment and away from my roommate who I've come to adore and possibly out of this city depending if this job goes through or not. Here are some pictures to document my last week at 2833 W Medill.

| a night at the museam |
[03 May 2007|02:48pm] |
Last Saturday Johnny, Eileen and myself were looking for trouble around 2 a.m. and heard that body worlds two was 24 hours at the museam due to it being the final weekend and all. We were completely both (drunk and high) at this point and figured why not? Upon arriving I purchased a chocotaco with borrowed money, ate that shit, then made my way towards the exhibit. Maybe 20 feet from the enterance of body worlds two I passed out and hit my head violently on the floor mainly from the substances but partly because I have never looked inside of a skull before. After waking up seconds later I was surrounded by security guards which always sends a shiver down my spine but instead of kicking me out they put me in a wheelchair and pushed me to a door that they proped open for me. Imagine coming into the body worlds exhibit near 3 a.m. and seeing this kid being pushed out in a wheel chair... You know that exhibit is going rip!
This weekend Johnny and I are coming to Michigan. We actually leave tomorrow. I'm not very good with communication and am lazy to death when it comes to hanging out so if it ever seems like I'm avoiding you think the opposite. I'm just tired.

Today I quit my job before I started. Made it all the way to the bus stop then thought 'fuck it' like I find comfort in calamity. Figured making 7 dollars under the table would be nice on top of my unemployment which kicks in real soon. But then thought that working every weekend of my life might be a drag. The grayness of everyday life has been paled by the gray of my city. The sun is finally starting to shine on this dogs ass.

[23 Feb 2007|01:15pm] |
I've never been much into horoscopes but I did some reading and the shit is spot on these past few weeks. My life has been spiraling out of control lately to which I have ended up shutting myself off from most of those who are close to me. In the next few months I plan on saying peace to Chicago for good. With the experience I've gained moving here I can move to any major city in the country but lately have been feeling that my career is standing in the way of what I truly want to do. Philadelphia... Detroit... San Fran... it's my choice where I'll throw my box springs next. I just hope I find what I'm looking for in the shadows of different skyscrapers.
LEO: Nobody but you knows what your plans are. This may be a good thing because you have to keep one foot where you are and another one out the door. Whatever you’re doing now has been keeping body and soul together, but you don’t love it enough to justify staying here. Most of your energy needs to be funneled into your side interests. As new as they are, they hold the key to your future. Spend less time doing what has to be done and save your best efforts for the things that are only beginning to take off.
Last week.
LEO: It’s been a long haul and you’re finally ready to make your move. The steps that you’ve taken to change things and the realization that it’s time to release unhealthy emotional attachments have opened up doors that would have remained locked for the rest of your life. Remain clear about your motives and don’t allow the resistance you get from other people to stand in your way. No matter how complicated things get, remember: your life depends on this and if you let anyone or anything stop you, you’ll never be free.

Still unimpressed with Chicago.
Turned down NYC but might take a job offer in SF.
All I really want is to hang out with 2002 - 2005 crews.
Detroit, Philly, DC, Boston kids unite!
Careers suck but I got nothing else to fall back on.
And I love the money.
Going to Detroit now.
To do nothing with Bonaaron besides have fun.
Note to self: Check IMAX listings.
Belgium wants to interview The Detroit Birds.
Killin' em without even tryin' much, ya heard.

Keeping to myself a lot lately.
Watched the ball drop from my couch with Eileen.
what up 2007?
Last weekend Detroit Birds had a record release show. Crazy dedication shout outs go to Ian and Ryan. I'd also like to personally thank John Strucel for mastering it. Check the artwork done by our boy Greg at www.lockinout.com.

Used to be a sweet boy
And I'm not to blame
But something went wrong

I'm not to blame
Something went wrong
Can't be to blame

I miss when we could just do something without thinking about it. When we could just think up an idea and see it through immediatly. Spontinatiy is something you lose as you get older, But who says we're getting older?
Friends list 2007 let's make things happen.

The past few weeks have been crazy.
I've been meaning to tell you about them but have been extremely sick.
Bonaaron and Tbone came out last Monday for a Morrissey concert on Tuesday. Before they arrived on Monday Morrissey himself came into my store. If you know me you know I love Morrissey and being 5 feet from my main mang was more than a pleasure. Although he didn't make eye contact or acknowledge anybodys presense in the entire store it was still breathtaking.
Tuesday was the Morrissey concert. He opened with Panic and closed with Please please please let me get what I want this time. Other highlights include dissapointed, the national front disco and william it was really nothing. The only thing that could have made this night better would be a power up from my good friend Mike and seeing a few more of my friends there.
Wednesday I worked and came home to Bonaaron and Tbone drunk from drinking every bit of liquor we had in the house while watching men in black. We chilled and then drove back to Michigan. Upon arrival in Tbones city we got pulled over and I got put in the belly of the beast for riding dirty. The best part about it was when they put me in their police car "lust for life" by Iggy Pop came on the radio. I got off with a possession charge and have to go to court when they tell me to do so.
Thanksgiving Tbone and I went to my fathers where he and his boy cooked us the best veggie meal. We watched Waynes World 2 and had a few beers. Then I went back to Airbos where these pictures were taken.
Goodnight I love you.

Life in Chicago the past few weeks has been great. Things at work are finally starting to shape up, all the friends I've made here are finally starting to become a crew and I've been meeting a lot of new people. The following are some of the pictures from my most recent install at work. To me this is some of the better stuff I've done lately.

| don't fuck with punks |
[21 Oct 2006|04:30pm] |
The battle of punks vs. jocks continued last night acrossed from Wrigley Field (which I just learned is the biggest gay bar in the world). 5 dudes talked down on 4 of us after we talked down on them for obviously being lame. "Punks dead you faggots" was the last thing we heard when leaving the hot dog place and the tapping of a tire beater on the window was their invite into the night. When dude finally answered the call the words "punks not dead" are all that came from my mouth and blood was all that came from his. We also went to Magda prior to this and it was cool. Some of the kids in the crowd last night looked my style and I might check out SmartBar more often.
Note to self: Go to techno outtings with people who enjoy techno.
