  Wow it seems like a long time since my last post, but here is a brief synopsis of what has been going on. Thursday evening we started the removal of the old drywall in my living room and hall. Have you ever had to demolish something? Turns out that it is kind of fun. Hell, your entire life you are taught and told not to break things; here you have a goal of destruction. We still have a couple of walls that need to be finished though which I hope to finish today.

  Friday night I went to the lamest Halloween party ever. Well, not that I had a bad time or that it was boring. It is just that very few people dressed up. I love Halloween so of course I dressed up, going as the Wolfman. My brother loves to dress up as well and he went as a very funny fairy Godmother. One of my friends went as a golfer. Everybody else didn’t dress up. See what I mean by lame?

  Yesterday I went to my cousin’s daughters first birthday party in the afternoon before picking up a friend of mine in the western suburbs and heading to the north side of Chicago for the night. My friend had a friend who was visiting from Texas and we were meeting them up there to hang out. The north side is the gay part of Chicago for those of you that don’t know. One of the biggest pains in the ass about the north side is that there are about three whole fucking parking spaces on the streets of the north side. Parking is always such a fucking bitch so we jumped at the chance to park in a parking garage which was surprisingly sparse on a Saturday night. Found out later there was a reason for the sparseness.

  We meet up with a group of people, most of which I had never met, at a Mexican restaurant. The dinner conversation was about as wild and funny as any dinner conversation that I have ever had with a group of strangers. We spent what seemed to be 45 minutes discussing pubic hair, in particular the pubic hair of a rather famous and powerful black lady from Chicago who’s first name starts with an O and last name ends in a Winfrey. The discussion went from there as to what is considered pubic hair.

  After dinner we walk quite a few blocks to a gay bar. Although gay, I’ve never actually been to a gay bar on the north side as it really just isn’t my scene. At first the bar was so packed that it was over capacity, but after waiting a few minutes we got in and went to the back of the bar. We probably spent a good hour there before we decided to leave and go to a condo of one of the people we were with. So we slipped on out the backdoor of the bar. Turns out that we were not supposed to go out that way as an employee of the bar yelled at us for unlocking the door and going out. Does anyone else find it ironic that we would get yelled at in a gay bar for using the rear exit?

  The plan was to get our cars and go to this dude’s condo in the South Loop which is pretty much downtown Chicago and about 15-20 minutes away. Well as it turned out, the reason why that damn parking garage was so empty was because it fucking closes at 11pm! On a Saturday. I was fucking pissed. The good news is that it opens back up at 6am. The bad news was it was 1am. So this pretty much cancelled our plans for the rest of the night as my friend call up her husband to meet us at the condo. In a few minutes I’ve got to have my brother give me the 45 minute ride to the  north side to get my brand new car which was left alone, unattended for a night in a parking garage in Chicago.
