Hello SG. It has been awhile.

I hate the feeling of un-inspiration (yeah, not a word, so fuck you for pointing that out) I have been feeling for a while.

But this year, I swear to be better with my money and take some drafting design and CAD classes to expand my horizons. And maybe a refresher in animation as well. I have been out of practice on the latter for...

So over the weekend, I went to go see Robyn in concert at the Metro. Yeah, not really fitting to my style of music, but what can I say. I like her style. She did put on a great show. Related note, I am pretty sure I was the only straight guy who went there without a girl. And 80% of the audience was male....

And so begins another wonderful holiday season in retail. This weekend they start with the Christmas music, so I get to hear that Mariah Carey song twice a day, 3 renditions of "Last Christmas," and 5 of the little drummer boy. But I will at least start getting back to a more normal and set schedule. And I will be getting most of the weekends...

Life Update:

July

Not much happened that month except that I went to Pitchfork on its second day. Wolf Parade and LCD Soundsystem were amazing. Shame that might be LCD's last time in Chicago.

August:

August was more active. Went all three days of Lollapalooze and an "after show" (though considering the show was the day before, hard to really call it an aftershow). The...

So this pretty much is 5 years since I graduated from college...and I still work the same shitty job, living at home with in the burbs, etc.

Granted, I am happy that I am working (can't count how many of my friends were laid off), it just kind of depresses me I never was able to get out and make a name or stake for...

Not much going on here these days. Which helps explains the lack of updates.

I did see Fucked Up around my birthday and Puscifer last week. And I will say that Puscifer was a very bizarre (in a funny) show. Very entertaining.

I also decided I will be going back to take some classes. Learn more graphic design stuff that I never learned in college...

Ever since the day after New Year's, I had a suspiscion that something was looming over me. Something that was going to be fuck up in my view point of how the year would be. I thought it would something related to my job that would cause me to lose a lot of hours and pay. Or maybe a death in the family. Or some...

Yay for my first post in long time.

Too bad it is nothing important to say. The most of the time was uneventful and dull...sans seeing the Pixies at Aragon Ballroom as well as free food at an SGC event. But here is hoping that maybe the next one will be better. I know I said that for the last few years, but who knows....

Basic breakdown of my weekend of Lollapalooza and Chicago Comic Con:

Friday - Lolla day 1

-Yuto Miyazawa: 9 year old Japanese boy playing mostly Ozzy Osbourne covers. T'was a fun site to see
-Manchester Orchestra: Decent act
-The Gaslight Anthem: Good high energy punk act.
-STS9 - Put them as my least favorite act on that stage, but still good.
-Thievery Corporation: Did not...

Going to Pitchfork today. Getting excited to see Matt and Kim as well as Fucked Up. Only going to today's show though, so I missed out yesterday with the Jesus Lizard and will miss tomorrow with Flaming Lips (which that sold out really fast). This should be a fun night, however, how weird is it that in July, I will be bringing a hoodie to...

I saw Ladytron and The Faint on April 4. Good times. Ladytron was great and The Faint was a fun new experience (I was there for Ladytron, so I decided to stay for them and it was worth it). Also saw Freezepop the following Wednesday and had a fun time there as well.

Last Saturday, I went out with my friends to a club that...
