There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who love Neil Diamond, and those who don't.

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-
I couldn't get a vid but i would recommend you peep their myspace music...i wasn't crazy about these guys at first but after a few runs through their album "Serving Strangers" i couldn't bring myself to eject the cd...

-Janus- "eyesore"
yet another killer local band


-the fireship-

unfortunately i couldnt find a vid for this one but it would worth your while to check em out...
http://www.myspace.com/thefireship

-Munroe-

couldnt find a vid either but if you listen to Q101 you prob have already heard of them...check out "bullet ballet"

and for a little indie flare check out
Grizzly Bear- "two weeks" off of their new album "Veckatimest"


&& a few randoms for good measure

The Crystal Method feat Matisyahu - Drown In The Now

for the love of god listen to this song!!

Jump Smokers- "don't be a douchebag"
"and that stupid kissey-face" hahaha


and last but defiantly not least, the new John Mayer release


its an amazing cd/dvd
and while this song isn't featured on any his cd's i absolutely love it

What it do?

-Do you have a lack of immature humor and pop-culture laden bromides in your life?

-Are you lying awake at night wishing you had a place to find worthless, yet wildly entertaining information about the world around you, with a dash of Liberalism sprinkled in for good measure?

-Have no fear...(in Eagle man voice) "Ive got something for you."

Hey all...and welcome to 1-800-Schoenzy. How'd you like that horrid attempt at a witty intro. Lame right? Well let's gets the awkward & broad summary that comes with every new blog over with. This will have no set pattern, schedule, common theme, or any real substance at all. Some weeks may inspire 3 post and other may bring none. All in all it'll be more random than Hitler juggling lake trout on a unicycle. This will more than likely become a place for me to share interesting things I come across day to day...cars, movies, music, quotes, sports, photography (some of mine and some from others), books and politics will prob make up the majority of my posts. Well, that and my ridiculously biased opinions on said subject matter. I also assume my own colorful, and all be it opinionated, commentary on the world around me will work it's way into the mix...ya know, I'll inevitably dedicate an entire post to how I hate: people who don't do the fucking speed limit, people who think Micheal Bay is an Oscar worthy director, people who ride in a lane that is clearly ending just to cut everyone off, people who slap ridiculous shit on their cars in an effort to make them look more expensive, people who actually believe Sarah Palin is a good thing for America, or people who still listen to Nickelback. (as you may soon notice i get off on wild tangents quite easily) I don't expect a large following (actually I doubt many will have interest in what I have to say at all) but this will be a way for me to document my journey from the end of college into the dreaded "real world" (no unfortunately not the MTV show, which coincidentally I think I would be perfect for, except for the whole being attractive thing) To share things, sometimes interesting and sometimes immature, with my friends, given that I soon need to begin to edit and censor my fb account. I'll check back later and throw some pics up as a look back on my summer.
