I then purchased a swatch watch(mainly…

I was not aware of how drasticly logic chicago’s roadway system was until about 45 minutes ago. also wtf is with the trains that make NO sense. serious. No sense at all. and they are really buses.. acting like trains. not trains at all. slackers…bush is kinda dumbi have no dou…

My computer at work is dieing a slow and painful death. The dell bios diagnostic screen pops up on boot and tells me that my hard drive is going to fail very soon. Ugh.. I am sad. I don’t want to lose everything. I mean I have it all backed up.. for the most part ;) – the thing I am most sad about is my music.. I have ripped so many of my cds so I don’t have to keep them here.. and now i…

Happy Birthday

Yesterday was kinnera’s birthday. Lets all say happy Birthday to her. Tonight I went to a shoddy rock show and saw a guy who used to play with the smashing pumpkins. It was wierd because members of the “pumpkins” were at the show. Often when I see famous people it takes me a little while t figure out that they are real. I guess that is what I get for living in a fantasy world. Well gnight …

Madonna is god

So I saw madonna the other night, and i would like to say that she is very good in concert. I think that she may have put on the best concert i have ever seen(i have seen a few).

The only problem was, that our tickets weren’t exactly “g…
