streetlamps and rainstorms

Four years ago on election night, I lived in Chicago. We huddled at our favorite pub, and watched the election results. Through the disbelief and grave disappointment, Barak Obama was also elected to the Senate for our state of Illinois. For me and for my friends in the room, I can say that we knew there shined a light.

i didnt exactly know who i was for halloween. so i asked people what they thought. it was a fun game. i only recall a couple of answers though; amelie, and, velma from scooby doo went to grad school.

i’m probably convinced to go back to the bob haircut. too easy.

October, 2008.

just passed on to me, a discovered video of my friends and i in the stuffy lying in states’ chicago basement, the legendary show of june 2002. all of our bands played that day, theres probably more out there. this basement show seemed so remarkable, that 6 months later a pack of pictures from it was randomly found on the sidewalk in rogers park. no one knows who took them or where they came from.

so so bad, and so awesome.
