once in a great while, you get the opportunity to experience something that is normally reserved for special people. in this case it was something known as date night . date night happens on wednesdays, every couple of weeks. it entails dinner, drinks, and sometimes a stop at barnes and noble to peruse male pornography, specifically play girl magazine . thankfully, this particular date night, last night in fact, did not include the usual stop to the b and n. what it did include, were me and danny , two surprise guests who were invited to join this secret society for one night. along with the founding members liz, mel, katie, al, and danielle , danny and i were able to catch a glimpse of what it is really like to be 'on the inside'. we ate at kona grill , a pacific-rim kind of fusion place, coupled with its own sushi bar. we all ate sushi and had a pretty good fill. in my opinion, the sushi was sub-par, but i guess acceptable for non-habitual sushi eaters. the salmon special r...
so another friday night and another trip to the buddha with the usual suspects, +1 . but buddha wasn't the normal buddha tonight. they were throwing an after party for the chicago leg of the green festival . long story short, buddha was a refuge for environmentalists and hippies tonight, rather than the usual brand of soulful hip-hoppers. not that it was bad, in fact it was rather interesting and refreshing to see a different crowd... problem was, the music selection was experimental and difficult to relax to. it was cool though, because there were highly pixelated videos playing on two screens, two djs getting crazy with mac books and other miscellaneous audio equipment, and even 3 artists painting canvas on easels, on the dance floor. we even saw murph (with crew) in the vip room... we left after 10 minutes . and then we headed to sound bar , but it took us almost 25 minutes to park and after we did get our rock star spot, courtney was denied entry because he didn't ...
wow. i haven't read my work in a long time... almost three years since my last post. it's amazing the amount of self-reflection that can occur when you take a glimpse of the past you left behind. three years can really change a man. now married, and now a father, i'm more hesitant to use the word "fuck" or and derivative thereof, so freely. i don't smoke anymore and rarely is alcohol even considered. no more clubs and nights until 5am... ...and the best part? i'm as happy as can be! confident in my life, proud of my family, eager as ever to experience everything life has in store. i'm closer to God and i'm getting the big picture. am i ready to start blogging again? i don't know. i realize now, how much i used this as my outlet. my therapy. if just one person would read my words and comment on how they "get it"... well what a relief. its like being alone but not feeling alone. but i'm not there anymore. so can i write the "ha...
