All white

I live in Oakpark which is right outside of Chicago. You can walk a bit around the corner and see Chicago. I live with 3 fantastic people. Dominic and Brandon share their own space downstairs in the basement apartment. It is where the men stay and the WII excitement happens. Kelly and I live on the top floor where there are 3 bedrooms and an awesome balcony. No one goes into the one bedroom because it is haunted pretty hard. The tiny backyard is adorable and the kitchen is the best kitchen ever. The common area is where we all run into each other and the breakfast room is usually the every meal room. The house is amazing.

Brandon is a makeup artist and makes models look the way they look so well. He works in a studio in Chicago and travels to NY and LA. He keeps the house looking tidy and he is a decorating master.

Dominic is a professional musician probably the best flue player in the world and plays theater shows in Chicago and also directs music at a Catholic church. He is doing le mis all threw Feb. so get your tickets!
Dominic and Brandon are engaged and I have honor of going to their wedding. It will be my first gay male wedding and I am so excited!

Kelly works for TPAN doing aids testing and counseling. I get to help her volunteer in different gay environments and it is always entertaining.

I build toy robots.

The people I work with are all artists musicians engineers or geeks.... It is awesome. I have been jamming out with 2 of the guys now and I forgot how much fun it was to jam in a basement.  

I have my first djing slot in Chicago. There are supposed to be over 300 people there and I am djing for almost 5 hours. I am nervous and excited.

April is cooking me food I must go check on this......

It is too cold to play so look at me do things.

I am probably not going to be very good at this. I think it is a good plan to keep some of you in the loop, that care about being in the loop. We all know how great I am at returning e-mails that are just friendly conversation. Also, I am generally hyper or in a rush. I do not know how exciting this will be or effective..... but I going to give it a go.
Today was my day off so I considered finding things that would occupy me without going out into the snow because I get to do that everyday.

Side Note: I also get to eat cheese everyday.

I am also in the process of making a MyGoogleMaps link that Mer Swenson has shown me. So I can persuade you to come visit me.

Living in Chicago has been one of the hardest things I have ever done but also in the same vain it is one of the coolest places I have ever been. The cold here sucks a cold cock, nevertheless the sound of everything around you turning into one largedinosaurscream of crazytrainsmusicfuck is entertaining. I personally adore making little snowmans but I simply hate wearing gloves..... This is a problem for me.
 
So far, the pizza, very good. Every place I have eaten here has been outstanding. Lucky Dog is around the corner from where I live. The LDog is amazing, it is the cruise ship of Mac's Burgers, Cspice, and el indio. It is all wrapped into one. If you live in Gainesville it is hard to imagine right? The Mexicans are confused on how excited I get while ordering a fish sandwich.

Getting around in Chicago is also very interesting. You met the most er ummmm intense sort of people on the train. I am still getting used to the ghetto filth and piss in the tunnels but the always having a ride to work and a DD is really nice.

Some people say it is the prettiest place in the USA others say it is a horrifying peep show. I think it is a never ending horrifying beautiful fireworks show. It looks that way when you are drunk and wandering downtown. Like christmas has a pet monster.

Side Note:
I am drunk often.


The acid here is fantastic.
The sky always has a red glow.
If you look up at the top of building you kind of fall over a bit they are so tall.

I had a drink on the 95th floor of the Signature Building building. It was interesting pissing that high up. Your ears pop on the elevator and you are not aloud to jump in there.

The gays. The gay bars here are awesome. There is a whole town here called Boys Town and it is the gay town. It is where I work and where one of our favorite clubs lives. The drag shows here make uc look like a one bathroom stall with a radio for a sound system and a drunk pony for the entertainment. There is a gay bar here called Spin which is always fun and where we went for new years. There is also a Bears Club (and not the sports team) where they have a pit and you have to be a large hairy man or a leather daddy to get in.

Side Note: The problem with people saying leather daddy so often was that I would giggle at them because of watching so much arrested development.

There is also a tub that you can lay in and people can piss on you. I know, line up right? I ran into a bartender there and he invited me to a benefit for aids. I told him I would only go if he made me a martini that was James Bond themed. He made me a Bubble 07.

Other mentions:

A pack of cigarettes lasts me a few days which is amazing for someone who used to smoke a pack a day. Gross.
I have purple hair.....
My new favorite sheets have stars and moons on them.
And I have discovered that Marcia Cross is freakishly hot.
My cats are amazing and getting fat.
Also if you are a grammar nazi I would recommend not reading my blog. I have self discipline in many ways in my life but sitting still and typing is not one of them. I am humble enough to admit it.
