On the way home
I stopped by Myopic this evening because they used to have this chess group that met on Wednesdays. I stumbled across them all one evening, when I was there browsing… and happened across a bunch of tables, and a bunch of people playing. Since that one run-in, I have yet to see them again. But…
The Neighborhood Boys: Update
I ran into the boys again today, on the way home from work. One of them (I still haven’t learned their names) showed me this samurai sword he had and how, if flicked the right way, the blade would shoot forward like a missle leaving the scabbard still in his hand. Pretty cool. They walked…
The Neighborhood Boys: Backstory
A little backstory. Last weekend, I was walking down my street to get some coffee. I passed by a few neighborhood boys (early elementary school age) who were just hanging out on their front steps. They had these pop-guns, the kind that shoot out rubber darts that stick to windows if you lick the ends….

After Work
Walked down Milwaukee, which is a different route than I normally take. Happened to see this taped alongside a newspaper stand. Alright, what’s up with these guys? Is it a dealership somewhere that gives them away? Or is this some larger family of antenna-heads that I’m only just now meeting? I met this guy’s brother…

Blurry Valentine
Last Friday, on my way home from work, I happened to see this guy at the Clark and Lake Blue Line stop. I was situated behind a pillar, and decided to sneak a picture (without explicitly asking his permission). Well, as I was focusing, some guy ends up walking right between me and the person…
Happiness
On my way home, I stopped into the corner store to pick up a soft drink. As I stepped off the curb, my left foot landed in a ginormous puddle of water. I began cursing my luck and got all grumpy with the world. Not 30 feet later, I noticed a car by the side…
This Evening
On the way home, I walked by a woman who was holding a one year old outside a local pizza joint. She was trying to get her daughter to wave goodbye to another one year old, who was waving from inside with her father. I just happened onto the last moments, as they left the…
Ugh
Tonight’s the earliest I’ve been home in a while. Anymore, my apartment feels like a temporary pause between workdays. Everything here is a wreck, and it’s not going to be until the weekend that I can even begin to start cleaning the place up some more. I’ve had a beer, and that’s saving me from…
On The Way Home
Despite some of its inhabitants, I really, really do love this country. I don’t think I say that often enough. You are Beautiful, Version 2.0 I happened to see this on North Avenue on the walk back. Someone nearby is doing this, since I’ve seen a ton of them in the area. Wish I knew…
