My friend, Hilary, messaged me on Facebook 2 days ago with a message that read, “The most Chicago news headline ever!” Attached was the article, Burke campaigns, gets FOP endorsement, while facing extortion charges I don’t like using phrases like “s**t show” in mixed company, but if any situation warranted being called such, this one would...

Peach Scone Love And The South Loop
I had a date last night. At least I think it was a date. Actually, I think it was supposed to be a date. If it was a date, it would be date 3 with the young lady in question. She seems good people. A live wire for sure. I find her very attractive. Her... Read more »

I’ve had a revelation, and we’re going back to basics
Good morning! So I recently started reading the book “The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin. I highly recommend it. Funny Fact: I bought this book 10 years ago. However, I never read it. It’s funny that a decade later, I find myself in a different bookstore, near the self-help section, found the same book, looked... Read more »
The 6th Annual National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence
Yesterday was the 6th anniversary of the Sandy Hook Tragedy. 6 years ago, on December 14th, a 20-year-old man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School and gunned down 20 six and seven year olds, as well as 6 adults. The weakness of blogging is that sometimes it cannot convey the emotional, breadth, and levity of words. ... Read more »

Once Upon A Time, I Was A Musician: Part 1
A buddy of mine from the Army sent me a photo from a metal show the other day. It was an Oceano/Whitechapel show. I was super impressed that he remembered that I dig those types of bands. More importantly, the mention of Oceano brought back some wicked memories. Allow me to explain. I’ve been very fortunate... Read more »
Dear Kanye, I Voted Yesterday.
Dear Kanye, I’ve never self identified as a Democrat, however I voted yesterday; A straight Democratic ticket. The Republican Party has demonstrated itself wholly unaccepting of who I am as a person, and have embraced characters I perceive as vile, and threatening to so many people I care about. I have significant people in my... Read more »

Staring Down The Barrel of Mega Millions
It’s currently 9:15pm. In 45 minutes, someone’s life will change. Forever. I’m slightly ashamed to admit that I wish to be that person. Yes, I bought a Mega Millions ticket. I bought 10 actually, but only 8 of them are mine. 2 belong to my friend Tricia. Ah Tricia…how do I describe her. Friend. Platonic.... Read more »
