The Land Of Chocolate!
In this day and age of text messages, fast food contacting and quick hit answers, people like to be able to send brief and simple messages to the masses. Now I was on vacation all last week, including on Thanksgiving. I was woken up by text messages twice wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving to “me and my family.’ I dunno, maybe I’m missing the whole point of the giving thanks meaning of Thanksgiving, but why is it that people feel the need to act like they are the media when it comes to wishing people a happy whatever the holiday is at the moment. I mean, wishing you and your family a “Happy Thanksgiving” is exactly what the newspeople do, whatever happened to a “Happy Thanksgiving, Fucko!” its so much more personal. I dunno, maybe I’m being a dick in this whole thing. I mean after all I wouldn’t have minded it so much if it wasn’t so early that I got the first one. Oh sure, 8:30am might not seem early to some people, but it is really early when the previous night is the biggest bar night of the year and you are a single guy who didn’t get to bed until almost 4:30 in the morning.
So Tuesday December 1 is World AIDS Day. On or around December 1, I usually write a post about AIDS and all that shit. Well, this year I’m doing far more than just writing a post that maybe 3 people might read, I’m also going to a charity event to benefit the AIDS foundation of Chicago. You may or may not know that I am one of the world’s foremost chocoholics. Well what makes this event so cool, is that it is a chocolate lover’s wet fucking dream. In fact, it is called the World of Chocolate. So myself and 3 friends have plucked down $200 a ticket to go to this event. Relax, they did have cheaper tickets, should you find yourself in the Chicagoland area on December 3. The good news though is that even though you might not be able to make it to the actual event itself, of course you can still donate. Here is a link to the website along with all the fun you will be missing out on should you decide to skip it:

sounds like it will be a delicious time!
Night before Thanksgiving is so awesome. I waited until the afternoon to send my 9 well-wishes.
I got tested last week.. no surprise, it came back negative. Nick and I celebrated with a gamut of nasty this past weekend / holiday
OH! I changed the playlist on my site to what I normally listen to. The one that was up was a pre-club mix. Use sparingly.
That sounds like an awesome event!! I can’t eat it but i love chocolate.
