...fine line between insanity and genius

sunday i didn't do shit. i sat around and watched rollerball and sorority boys on vcd with the guests. monday we went to mass at the cemetery for memorial day. we then had a huge brunch at chuck's house. then we went to the city so that chuck could let cammy move some shit into the apartment. we ate sushi at pacific cafe, watched a little basketball, then went to black rock to watch cammy's friend, liam play some acoustic guitar. tuesday met up with jim and roy to discuss mim and its current status. phuc was there for a moment, but she went to work out and we went to eat sushi on algonquin. we spent most of the time talking about the clones and all that jazz and while i felt like a dork at times, it was a great conversation. wednesday jim and roy finally meet cammy. we exchange pleasantries and then leave to go shoot some outdoor setup shots for girl/boy . we end up at navy pier and we shoot some skyline shots. as it turns out, it gets pretty dark pretty fast. so we eat g...

what a fucking night. sox game so we started by taking the el to the sox game. it was dan, dave, chuck, and me. we got there at the top of the 4th, with the sox up 5 to 1, not that i give a shit about the sox or baseball for that matter. we met up with the crew, which was a good 25 or so guys. tauber's dad was there and he was hilarious. there was a fight in the stands and we all cheered. there were also many hotties walking around, prompting us to immediately decide to come to another sox game soon. yay. griffin's we took a very interesting el ride to get to the bar. dan and i were being very obnoxious. it was great. legerro got off the train a couple of stops early so that he could piss. haha! jon got us open bar from 10p-1am. we got hammered pretty fast. then the first stipper came and she was pretty good. she was actually serving drinks for everyone completely naked. she gave a couple of lap dances. she was great. then dallas showed up and she rocked the house. she was gor...

so last night all you need to know is that we hit club o and skybox . o has much talent, especially for the half puerto-rican half japanese/hawaiian princess known as veronica. skybox sucks, but they did have free pizza. so i didn't get in until 4:00am this morning and i slept until about 1pm. fuck. my head hurts... and now, i'm going back to chicago to celebrate rob lightfoot's bachelor party. we've got a sox game, a bar, and some strippers. it can't get much better than that. god help us.

the day has started out slowly, but danny belmont just called me and it looks like we're hitting is tonight... uh oh. so what did i do? slept in until about 11am. had a dl smoke. checked email. ate leftover breakfast. watched crazy/beautiful . nice little ditty. and now i'm blogging and it's 2pm. fuck. i'm gonna get dressed and take my granny to the supermarket.

this afternoon i went to lunch with stephanie. we ate at some strange pancake house on 25. it was mighty good. today is a boring day... a tragedy for blogging.

here we go, catching up again. monday is there really much to say? oh. i took the guests to woodfield to buy some shiz. i spent some money at the gap clearance rack. and i bought some wrist wear from some cutie punks at hot topic. then we went over to the loews to watch attack of the clones , a horrible title for a pretty good film. yoda is hilarious and the other fight scenes were intense... the storyline needs some work, but other than that, it was enjoyable. later in the evening, i went to gameworks to celebrate eric's 21st birthday and graduation. a whole slew of kids where there. the best part was watching derek play the drums and angelo playing starwars. good times. tuesday didn't do crap. everyone was pretty lazy. i went to lunch with asian tommy. we ate sushi all the way in st. charles. wtf? anyways, it was good and cheap, so i'm not gonna complain. i still spent like $30. but whatever. then i went home and took a nap. connie called me from schoo...

friday so to end friday night's affairs, i met up with chuck at dooley's, where kelly and rob were meeting some friends. we played a little ntn, and talked about the bachelor party and other nonsense. kelly and chuck were hungry, so we ate over at steak and shake on barrington. i wasn't hungry, but i ended up eating a shitload anyways. fuck. kelly and rob didn't believe us when we said that it was cash only. they apologized many times while chuck and i paid the bill... which was our pleasure. saturday last minute decision to attend the q101 jamboree, due to the free tickets aquired by chris through his work. my favorite band was dashboard confessional, but i enjoyed hoobastank, tenacious d, the strokes, and quarashi was ok. thursday was okay too, and i saw a little bit of unwritten law, but the cold day kept me from fully appreciating all the bands. we even stopped in the sonic boom tent to hear terri bristol and other djs spin. weee! later on, we met jim for ...

fuck. so i didn't get much accomplished on that list from yesterday. i did the garbage and i cleaned the kitchen , but that's about it. oh shit, i went to gameworks . you know that you're really bad when social activity is on your "to do" list, just so you can feel like you got some shit done. fuck again. so today i didn't cross anything off either. i spent some time on the web. watched some food tv. ate a late lunch and dinner at my granny's place. woo hoo! i wrote an email to the ecc kids, because i miss them so much. fuck, i can't stand this down time... i need a job. i think i'm going to tgi friday's to play some ntn.

slow start so today i slept in til about 11:30am. i guess it is nice not having class. for breakfast i had a camel special light and some orange juice. thing is, i really have to get some shit done today and here's the agenda... - apply for scholarships - clean kitchen & wash dishes - do 2 loads of laundry - pay bills - do the garbage and recycleables - hang out at lava lounge or gameworks what a rough life i live. heh. i really miss my ecc buddies. sigh.

last day one last class. one last critique for the semester. it went great and i got an a in the class. some how, i managed to ask rosy to go to lunch with brian and me. as it turns out, tommy, asian tommy, and andy were to busy to go to sushi for lunch today. cryke. we planned for lunch on tuesday, so we'll see. hugs and kisses so on the way out, i ran into shanny and jeanne. i gave them both big hugs and told them that i'd miss them. i invited them to colonial cafe to join in, if they had time. i'm pretty sad that i won't be seeing them for a while. coloniel cafe so after picking up smokes, i end up being the first cat at the cafe. brian shows up and we wait a bit, to give rosy and the other girls some time to show up. after about 30 minutes, we order. it's great talking to brian. he's open-minded, yet firm in his own beliefs. he says a great quote... "pay now and party later... or party now and pay later". very interesting. rosy show...

second chance to make the same mistake twice so i'm outside, smoking with nick, when she steps out there to join us... i was a blubbering fool. argh! anyways, i did find out that she'll be back in the fall taking digital photography with john, so i guess that i'll get a third chance some time down the road... sigh. in 100 we critqued the cubes and everyone really did do some amazing stuff and tina seemed to like everything. then we cleaned up the classroom. fun. jamie left early, so i wasn't able to wish her luck. sigh. i ate lunch with shannon and melissa at subway and it looks like we'll be keeping in touch. the last night class so there's this girl who has sat next to me every single day in 115 . her name is lisa. i could've sworn she was latina, but her last name is johnson. anyways, we've been pretty cool all semester. she told me (very early into meeting her) that she had a boyfriend and a 3 year old boy, so i never had any inclinatio...

no rosy i woke up late. got to class late. worked on my project. rosy wasn't in class today. shite. invited brian and tom to sushi on wednesday. we'll have to see i guess. no mary well, 101 has come to a close too. no more mary. shite. no goodbye either. i said goodbye to pam, who really is a sweet lady. we cleaned the desks a little bit, but heather did the sink all by herself. lunch i had lunch with shanny and mel. we ate at the colonial cafe. mmm mmm good. we had some nice conversation, but nothing too deep. mel is trying to figure out her post high school life, and shanny... well, shanny is too, but her situation isn't as complex as mel's is. whatever. it was just nice spending time with them.

today is mother's day so i drove home at like 2:30am on sunday morning. got up and picked up my granny to go to church at 11:00am. we met up with tita lily, chuck, and robyn and went to palmer's for brunch. mmm mmm good. we stopped by the cemetery to pray for my mom and lolo. the rest of the day has consisted of watching tv and taking naps. i had a&w for dinner and now i'm watching the cosby show on nick at night. what the fuck is wrong with this picture?

last night it poured like pussies and bitches last night, but i still ventured to the city. chuck and i got to big wig at like 11:00 or so. irene met us at the door and she was pretty fucked up. we wanted to say hi to carol, but she was surrounded by fellas. so chuck and i got some drinks and sat in the back by the dance floor. ana, ciarra's friend came up to us and said hi. it turns out that she knows carol from way back. she actually remembered our names. the bitch anyways, irene comes up with her friend liz, then ditches her to go to the bathroom. chuck and i try to make small talk, but liz is all about being a bitch. i should've told her to go away, but i didn't know who she was with and i'm not one to get my ass kicked. so finally, liz just gets up, and chuck and i both agree that she's totally whack. irene comes up and i tell her that liz is a bitch... big mistake. she freaks out and we begin a yelling match and since irene always has to be right, she ...

friday recap so i went to class at like 9:00am so that i could work on my cube. luke showed part of the movie he's working on. jeanne liked the sticker i made of her. shannon finished her cube. jamie and nick ditched. cassie was working on some photo project. brandon showed up and picked burt reynolds as the subject of his cube. i said goodbye to brandon as i'm not sure i'll see him before he leaves for the summer. went to have lunch at granny's. diana and jonathan have arrived. i took a nap and then went with my pops to enterprise to get a car. no rest for the wicked. i had to take everyone to tita mommy's house before dinner at lou malnati's. dinner was great. chuck and i went back to meet belmonte at his house. we drove to chicago to go to kathy's birthday party. we bought her a huge card, a "you go girl" keychain, and some birthday toy set. monika, cheryl, michelle, crissy, danielle and kathy's mom, were all there. we ended up le...

munchkins so i brought in munchkins for the class. which was great. jeanne sent the picture, but put the word porn in the subject. brandon, jeanne, and i had a long smoke break. stephanie and i finished our projects early so that we could ditch out and catch ihop thursday. mmm mmm good. jino and jean are here now. yay! jonathan and diana are coming tomorrow.

slowly but surely so in 104 today, i talked to rosy even more than ever before. i was actually in class on time and i got some shit done! pretty decent. the clowns, plus andy and rosy, and i went to the cafeteria to get some ecc specials and coffee. mmm mmm good. 101 was pretty good too. stephanie gave me her usual shit about mary, we went around and showed our stupid letterheads, and when it got to mary, i shot her a smile and a cheesy "rock and roll!". fuck. she left after the quiz, so i wasn't able to talk to her. poo. waiting for the bus was pretty cool. i made the kids laugh a little bit. complemented cassie on her photography, jeanne on her jeans, and some seniors on their portfolios. we talked about people i don't know... like robe and the schlagels. during open lab time i finished the base coat on my bloated project and worked a little on the edges. asian tommy, andy, and i planned a big sushi luncheon on wednesday next week. hopefully the plans go...

showed up to 100 late, but no one seemed to notice. melissa is talking to me again, so i hope that everything is smoothed over. i didn't want to show jeanne her picture, but she saw it and cut it out and ate it... literally. the rest of class was spent messing around with my project and talking to jeanne. shannon found the picture of the broccoli, so i kept it. i'm a dork. 204 was basically stressing to finish the cd project. i talked to stephanie a little bit, but i really needed to get some shit done. i used the old "up dog" joke on her. she fell for it and people laughed. thus is the story of my lame life. i'm going to 115 . catch you on the flipside.

ugh. i always seem to act like a little dork when she smiles at me. weekend recap so i fucking hate doing this recap, recap shit. but here goes anyways. friday i didn't know what the fuck to do. all i knew is that the week was strange and i needed to get away. so, to the city i went. so, dave kim, chuck, and i went to the museum of contemporary art or the mca for first fridays. it was pretty sweet because there were some mad hotties all dressed up... too bad they were all pretentious looking biatches. of course, i never talked to them, so they were probably cool. anyways, they were spinning some jungle when we came in. pretty nice. dave and i ate some of the free wolfgang puck hors o'devours and froze our asses off on the patio. it was cool because we saw leah (and her lugnut), indian jay, tam, ciara (and crew), and ann (a girl i have yet to meet) and roy and mark made a late apperance after a happy hour with the french co-workers. we walked around the museum and so...

today, i went to see the kids so that i could take their pictures. i drew on nick's clock and mounted some old illustrator projects. i think that melissa is mad at me because i think she's uptight. jamie is messed up because of all the meds she's on. shannon is her usual bubbly self and jeanne is busy with her 101 project. cassie can be really sweet when she wants to, but also really evil if she's mad. i'm hoping that the pictures turn out so that my project will rock. we'll just have to wait though. crap, i should turn the pictures in. i'm heading to the city soon, hopefully to go to "first fridays" at MCA. if not, whatever, i just need to drink.

what a day first of all, i missed wednesday, but whatever. thursday was the day of days. it started out like this... 100 was the usual ho, hum, didn't get shit done, kinda day. but brandon and i were having fun just making stupid noises and all that jazz. shannon and jeanne weren't around, so it was less noisy than usual. brandon and i compensated by talking non-stop... whatever. no big deal. but then, after class, i went outside for a little smoke break... mary walked out and said hi as she raced to her car and i think for the first time in my life i said, "hi, mary!", and actually acknowledged that i knew her name. she's got the most beautiful smile. shit! then, another cutie that i've been noticing lately was walking into the building and she gave me that sort of half-wave that says, "i-don't-know-you-but-you-know-my-friends-so-i'm-being-polite", and i just wasn't having it, so i said, "hey! you know, tommy has never int...

fucking wednesday and i've finally decided to post a summary of the weekend's events. sigh. so what did i end up doing on friday ? jack shit. i brought my art supplies with the intention of doing some art work in the city, but as it turns out, i just ended up chilling with chuck and catching a late dinner at hong min's in china town. after some partying with his french co-workers, roy ended up joining us, a drunken mess. we were gonna go to some lounge to cap off the night, but we ended up going back to chuck's place to drink some brews and discuss how roy was going to tell al about his feelings. we crashed at 2am. saturday came and it was complete laziness. chuck and i were driving all around the city, looking for a place to have a late lunch. after going crazy thinking about some place to go, we decided on going to pequod's on clybourne. we had our typical sausage, mushroom, and spinach deep dish pizza, and some garlic bread. we watched a little bit of p...
