So I'm getting a glimpse of what it's like to be one of those divorced "see you on the weekend Dads." My 13 year old nephew came into town last night and we've been hanging. Dave & Busters, football in the park, Aquarium, Hancock Building, Mich Ave, Lord of the Rings Monopoly and the Corpse Bride so far. Art Museum and my friend's recording studio...

So this will be personal.
Tonight my true love and I got back together. It was HOT. We hadn't seen each other in 15 months. The relationship between US never faltered, it's just that all the nonsense around us became too much to handle. We lost touch.
But that all changed tonight. At 7:30 PM the puck droped at the United Center, and we were...

It's always good to know what lies ahead, even if it's not necessarily what you want. So it's good. But tonight i'm way too tired for rational thought, so here's some Bowielyrics I've been tripping on as of late:

I forgot what my father said
I forgot what he said
I forgot what my mother said
as we lay upon your bed
a city full...

All right: lay down the beat and sing it with me, "Today was a good day."
I gotta get some fat burger, I'm outta here.

So I've been thinking about Wordsworth all day. Not sure why, but this verse is on a loop in my head. It's from memory so I apologize if I don't quote it exactly:

For I would walk alone,
Under the quiet stars, and at that time
Have felt whatever there is of power and sound...
And I would stand,
In the night blackened with a...

So it's odd.
I have been on trial in Chicago the last two and a half weeks (well pre-trial build up until next Monday), which I love.
But I'm doing it in Chicago, which I never do.
So it's odd.

Too many distractions and temptations= Itburns not working 20 hour days and actually having a balanced work/social life.

So here's the question I have: is...

This week was spent doing an insane amount of work and then doing more work. This was interupted by the U2 concert Wednesday night, a fine break in the middle of it all. Next week will progress the same way, but without the concert.

Hawks game tommorow night. Back on the ice

Saw "Lord of War" tonight. Excellent movie. EXCELLENT. Not sure what the moral high ground is in that one. But very good movie.

So there's trouble. I'm being chased by the Karma Police. They heard about what I did to the Fake Plastic Trees. God. I'm such a Creep.

So we all know that there is no such thing as stasis. Everything is in motion, change is this world's only constant. I can't bitch about that. But when things change you have to see what they become, and you have to decide if you can hang with the changes.

So they'll be here in November:

I'm on the chopping block
chopping off my stopping thought
self doubt and selfism
were the cheapest things
i ever bought

when you say it's love
d'you mean the back of love
we're taken advantage of
breaking the back of love
we're taking advantage of
breaking the back of love

easier said than done you said
but it's more...

Sicily is gone and it's a damning statment about the direction of the site.
