a pale dream of summer

I fell asleep under the clear sunny sky today. The black clothes I wore amplified the Sun as it flamed against me, tempered by the cool spring breeze. I dreamed of summer's vibrant colors, filling the world around me as the playing music filled my ears, guiding my slumbering journey. Eventually I opened my eyes to find the sun had numbed my vision while I slept...I marvled as the pale world around me slowly filled with color again as all those wonderful cones in my eyes regained their sensitivity. Beautiful.

Woodland relaxation

Here's another spot in the woods that I like to just relax at.Is there a better means of summer travel? I think not.

Chicago swampland...

I drove to the local forest preserve on the scooter today. My timing was a bit off though...the sun had already stopped shining, but it was still just nice to be out. i brought my most comfortable folding chair and just sat down by the water's edge. It's hard to believe how different everything looks when the river is flooded. This monster catfish keeps swimming right yp to the shore where the water can't be more than 2 inches deep and more than half of him is sticking out of the water! so neet to watch him swimming around in an area that's normally dry as a bone. I brought some music with to listen to, but the birds are doing such a good job, it's more relaxing to just listen to them.

Finally made it on the Bus...

It's raining so hard that the bus is leaking. I'm inside the bus and still have to where my poncho. I should have taken the metra like i normally do, but i just felt like something different. I just get bored of taking the same route over and over. Ask Jen; we've been going to my grandparents' house for almost 10 years, and she still doesn't know how to get there. I've never taken the same route twice...and they only live about 5 or 10 miles away! ;)

just dropped my phone...

Dropped my phone and missed my damed Bus. LOVE IT! did i mention it's raining?

Train of thought

I seem to remember people bouncing between the cars on the "EL" all the time when i was a kid. Now there's a stop sign on the doors between cars... was it me? Does anyone else remember that?

Go Daddy is pissing me off...

Jen's email's not accessible from her office again. Go Daddy is really starting to pissing me off. Request Timed Out...Request Timed Out...Request Timed Out... I NEED A TIME OUT!

Fifth Third Bank

What ever happened to the first, second, third, and fourth THIRD banks?
