Well this weekend absolutly blew ass, I was supposed to go on this great camping trip in the North Cascades... But then this Wedding came up that I HAD to go to and I had to cancel my flight to seattle and drive up to chicago for an effing wedding..... but that's not the worst of it I was on 90 from Shaumburg to 80/90 for 3 FUCKING HOURS..... fuck tolls and their damn construction, Chicago has the most poorly designed infastructure and I honestly think that I will NEVER drive in chicago again
Thanks for the rant
But on the plus side I did look damn good in my suit

Adam - too bad you missed the campout dude. I was planning on getting you drunk and forcing you to run around in a Tom Brady jersey. Oh well, maybe next year after we win our 4th superbowl.
(Instead, I got drunk and was forced to wear a Pittsburgh Steelers cap....)

I'll be honest (and I'm sorry to all the Chicagoans out there) but I hate Chicago too... Plus, I think it might be the ugliest city in the US...

Lower Wacker Drive. By my calculations, the Honorable Richard M. Daley Plaza shouldn't be far from here.
That's where they've got the Picasso?
Yep.

I LOVE that movie! My favorite parts..."We're on a mission from God"...hut, hut, hut, hut, hut
(It's soooo sad I got that)
I have to disagree with some of you. I probably wouldn't want to live there, but I do love to visit Chicago. So many great museums!

"Jesus H. Tapdancing Christ, I've seen the light!!"
I love that movie. Its one of the all-time greats. So many memorable lines, so many great songs.
I for one, love Chicago, though I've only been there once. I did get to sit in the cheap seats (!) at Wrigley and do my Ferris Bueller impersonation... Hey batta batta batta! :D
Oh, and drink a metric ton of Old Style.

Great timing. I hate this city too. Tomorrow's my last day here! Driving here sucks, parking here sucks, living here... well, is mediocre. Visiting is awesome though.
