    Have you caught it yet?

    No, not the flu. The paranoia! I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes. Slowly and surely the fear of this new virus is chipping away at my normally cool and ruggedly handsome exterior. It’s already starting to affect my every day life, I mean, I’ve already washed my hands like 10 times! In the past week! wait that’s not a lot? interesting…

    I’ve read that there’s this new tech tool that can track the chatter on social websites like twitter to determine swine flu outbreaks. This is GREAT! Gotta stay informed! Gotta stay on your toes! Nothing is as reliable as twitter, power to the people!

    hang on. my computer is lagging cause it can’t catch up to the rate that I’m hitting refresh on the cdc website. ugh. hurry up…gotta stay informed. GOTTA STAY INFORMED!!! oh! another forward from my family with ways to prevent swine flu! yes! can’t read the same thing TOO many times!

    Anyways, you can’t be TOO careful. Do it for the children. Won’t somebody please think of the children!!

    p.s. In all seriousness, I found a great site that evaluates your symptoms and tells you if you have Swine flu. Check it out: http://doihaveswineflu.org/

    p.p.s. In all real seriousness I hope no one I know gets swine flu and makes me regret writing this.

    Tags: Naperville, , stinks,

    In years past HandsomeHwang and I would make the 45 minute drive out to Naperville to visit in promise of “naperthrills.” Well, each of those visits have always resulted in us either getting lost somewhere, or being clearly misled with the degree of “thrills” that were promised. The thrill-to-distance-traveled ratio was severely skewed. Funny thing is that we kept going back thinking, maybe this time would be better, only to result in us driving back to the glorious north suburbs at top speed yelling “NAPERVILLE STINKS!!” out the window.

    And now, it has been confirmed.

    Naperville Stinks; Officials Don’t Know Why
    Naperville and portions of Aurora, Glen Ellyn and Oswego as well as towns as far east as Evergreen Park and Oak Lawn — stink, and no one seems able to figure out why.

    I’ll tell you why, it’s cause North Suburbs>Naperville.
    Just jokes folks. Naperville isn’t that bad.
    But seriously, you guys. Take a shower or something.

      alrite.. what about that chicken wing place that we went on thursday? tuesdays? with 1/2 off?
      u gotta admit that place is pretty good…
      the one with the lobster machine that no one wins at except for that one lady..

      yea yea ok those wings were pretty good…and jerrys send off was pretty good too…but id like to think that it was north suburbs that get credit for the sardines in meijers idea…. either way wings were good but im not sure if they are worth the drive. maybe if we won a lobster it would make for a totally different experience. i mean…lobster for 2 bucks!? but as far as im concerned at the moment…u guys need to figure out that stench before i come back

      I concur. Two thumbs way up! Even though I am reading this years later, that’s how you know it’s true – when it still applies long after the fact.

  • 808s and Heartbreak

    Word’s out that the new Kanye album, “808s and Heartbreak” should be coming out earlier then expected. The original anticipated release was in December but Kanye has just recently bumped it up to November because he, “felt like it.”

    It’s been said that this coming album should mark a different tone and slightly different style then what most people have come to expect based on his previous albums. I, for one, am thrilled. It’s nice to see someone that’s in the mainstream hiphop industry and not be afraid to try something that isn’t the same previous recipe for success.

    Of course, this would come down to what Kanye’s definition of “different” is, but I am still intrigued nonetheless. Maybe its all a huge marketing gimmick. In any case, if you haven’t heard it yet, I’ve attached the single from his new album. Give it a listen and see for yourself. Click the little box by the song to download. Turn the bass up and enjoy!

    Unnecessary FYI: 808s refers to the Roland TR-808 drum kit.
