So yeah, If anyone wants to buy (or steal) me a Nikon D3, I would be more then happy. Early tonight I was ice skating around in circles with Amanda under the Cloud Gate. Good times if I must say so myself. We tried to goto the Polo Cafe to no avail, which was so disappointing. The night before we did hit up Kuma's Corner though. The YOB burger was brilliant, not that I would expect anything less from that amazing place. I imagine if there is a heaven, the burger joint up there would be Kuma's Corner.

Marty DiBergi: "This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'"

Another one bites the dust

Goddamnit Brad Briggs,

You were a badass. You were the Bears reporter that everyone listened to. You told it how it was / is. You had my respect, and the respect of 'true' fans because you explained how things were without sugar coating. There were other writers who were bitter. I am mainly recalling former S-T sports writer Jay Mariotti, who constantly bitched about the back of Urlacher and other shitty things, but you - You were knowledgeable. You made me a smarter and more informed Bears fan. I was proud to think that both you and I cashed the same check that read "Sun Times" on it. But now you are with the Trib. I really don't have anything against the Trib but still. I have a Sun Times subscription and that was it. I don't read the Trib, so I will be missing out on what you have to say.

Good luck sir. Hopefully this works out for you. I just hope Roger Ebert doesn't rip on you, because you don't deserve it.

Love,
James

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago

I am pretty excited to start a new photo project. It is not official yet, and thus I don't want to get into details and talk about it until I actually get started with it. But it has the potential to be something great. No exact date, but some time after the holidays.

I have been pretty lazy lately. I have been working on cleaning my room, it is still such a mess, but I am finally making some serious progress. Any day now I am going to finish it. Upon completion there should be a huge party, including a parade in my honor.

One of the benefits to cleaning a disaster site would be the rewards that come with it. I found the plug to my record player, so I have been listening to alot of vinyl. I also found my black Pixies hoodie (Thanks, Sarah). My dad had this large collection of LPs, so I am going to move them up here and listen to ALL of them. I was listening to one of his Lou Reed albums, and it has a 14 minute version of "Heroin" on it. So good.

I am not much of a drug user, but that song almost sells it to me.

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I'll tell ya, things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

almost.


(not really).

Love,
James
