I really should be working on my assignment for tomorrow but I need a break. I would also like to apologize for how horribly written the entry will be. I can still feel my brain blanking as it attempts to make up for the brain-cells lost in last nights escapades.This week has been ridic and it's only Wed! Monday I went home in hopes of picking up my car from:

only to discover that they received the wrong part and i would have to wait...no big deal really but a wasted trip home none the less. Yesterday I had class until 1:50 and somehow, by the grace of god, made to westmont in time to make the 2:42..."why trekking to the city?" you ask...it was FINALLY my buddy's 21st burfday and we headed to the Northside to watch the Cubs get smoked. After a hazy evening in wrigleyville, and the obligatory trip to the Uptown until close, I was gently awoke, early this morning, to an "axe to the forehead" hangover that only PBR can provide, and hurried to drive back to D-town in the rain with only my passenger side wiper working...needless to say it was awesome. Highlights of the evening (but not limited to):

finally found the discontinued hat i was after

car bombs @ Merkel's

Big Z's homer

Ronnie made an appearance in the left field bleachers late in the game

@ the Uptown

After class i returned to my beautiful bed to nurse my wounds with some hair of the dog and a nap. After inevitable waking up late i once again shagged ass to get to class on time. after sitting in front of a locked door for 40 min and frantically checking my schedule to insure i was in the right place i finally noticed that my class does not start until next week...awesome. Well thats story of my ridic week...

On a separate note (mostly because I'm not quite ready to keep working yet) here are a few songs that i think may have flown below the radar of the masses, some old and some new...

Chicago Local Flavor:

-Archie Star- "we are the weekend"
if you've been around me whilst i've had my iPod at my disposal you more than likely have heard me praise this local chicago band

-Moxxy-
