Disturbia, Minus the Clean Cut College Boy
Some bands are constantly evolving. Some bands sell-out. Some bands are formulaic. Some bands are formulaic but are consistently tweaking their formulas in the struggle for perfection. I wrote the last statement with Disturbed specifically in mind. A lot of metal enthusiasts out there have…

Important information for future brides
It is not a good idea to move one month before you get married. It is not a good idea to forget that you don’t own a swimsuit until exactly one week before you leave for your wedding in Hawaii. It is a good idea to start using Crest White Strips seven days before your wedding. I’m three…

Society Ignores Racial Realities
The way we learned about slavery in kindergarten has always stayed with me. Maybe there was something in the water back then; maybe it was the poetry of being at the epicenter of the civil rights movement, Birmingham, in a school that occupied what may well have once been a cotton plantation;…

A Dip In The Shallow End
I was kind of hoping I wouldn’t have to gripe about these kinds of things, but what can I say, we live in a shallow world. I think the only reason I continue to read the Chicago Sun-Times is to find things that tick me off so I can complain about it here. For example, I take a look at the paper…

Not even hot… This broad is not even that hot, wtf? She’s the 7 you try to close the deal with at bar close after you’ve exhausted all other options. I’m sick and tired of broads not wanting to get a real job so they become a ‘model’. Just because some dude on craigslist offered…

US Open Cup: Chicago downs Columbus 3-2
So one of my favorite competitions kicked off for the Fire yesterday against Columbus in Peoria. Is it really all that surprising that it’s a favorite competition of mine as a Fire fan? They are thinking of naming it the ‘Fire trophy’ after all…OK not really. I am happy to hear that…

The Cool Kids: One Two
At the heart of the matter is the fact that Chris and I are more indie nerds than anything else. For myself personally, when I write about music that diverges from this genre, it's a bit hard for me. Just because references don't come easy and comparisons might fall flat. But, I am going to…

Big Jones Brings the South to the North Side
Within walking distance of my apartment, the Andersonville neighborhood is chock-full of “contemporary” restaurants, catering to its chic residents—primarily GLBT couples and newly-30-somethings pushing strollers. Big Jones, a new restaurant in the area (just north of Anteprima), fits right…

Chicago, Olympic bid city for the 2016 Games, has a newspaper called the Chicago Sun Times. As part of their Olympic bid coverage frenzy, the intrepid Sun Times sent a reporter up north, way north, to cover Vancouver pre-2010. The results were certainly predictable, but also somewhat insightful. …

How Many Times Can I Write The Same Goddamn Post?
Fuck. I really wanted Vernon to hit a walk-off in the ninth, so I could title this post "Crisis A-Vernoned". Other than that, I'm continuing to have a really hard time giving a fuck about the Blue Jays at the moment. They've really picked an awful time, for my sake (and oddly, therefore, the sakes…

Chgo Sun-Times: Now Greely Says It's Racist Not to Vote Obama
Apparently, the Chicago media have decided that the meme for the 2008 general election is going to be that anyone who doesn't vote for Barack Obama is a racist because this is the second editorial (that I've seen, anyway) in Chicago stating such a theory. Last week the Daily Herald voiced the…
