So I went to work on Friday thinking this weekend was going to be super chill. I had the house to myself and I just got my new camera. I was just gonna relax and enjoy that for once. Well by lunch Friday I had plans to go to a movie, then dinner, then the bar for a going away party. Friday would have seemed pretty normal if that is what I actually did. Got home Friday after a hellish week and went to meet up with a friend to go see Lincoln Lawyer and then go grab a pizza from my favorite pizza place in the city, Pequod's. After dinner headed over to Jake's for some drinks cause my friend Patty is moving back to Michigan so it was a sort of going away party. Ran into a few people I have not seen in a while. The last time I saw one of them it was a bit awkward. I think the time has done well and we can see past any awkward issues, which I am happy for cause I think she is really cool and would be lots of fun to hang out with. Our group at Jake's started to thin out which is when I should have left too but well I got talked into going out to Matilda's where we met up with a couple other friends. Matilda's was fun but a little too crowded to dance. When they closed down at 2 I tried to go home but got talked into going to Big City Tap aka Big Shitty where everyone I was with made me their project. They wanted to get me laid. I am not really ok with that. I was dragged through the dance floor and felt like I was being auctioned off like a piece of live stock. Not my style. My friend saved me and I ended up walking her home and then went home and passed out. I pretty much packed an entire weekend into Friday alone so who knew the weekend could get any better.
Friday night a few of us got the idea of hey lets go the Cubs game so Saturday morning I woke up early and went and got ready for the Cubs game. It turned out to be very nice weather for Opening Weekend, 50s and mostly sunny. I love baseball games! I am a Tigers fan but not living in Michigan anymore makes it hard to go to games so I tend to go to Cubs games a bit. I know a lot of people don't like Wrigley and call it old but there really is something about it that is just fun. We picked up some upper level tickets and watched a very quick first 5 innings. That's when the game slowed down. It wasn't looking very good for the Cubs till the 8th inning when they scored 5 runs to take the lead 5-3 over Pittsburgh and ended up winning the game. It was a pretty exciting ending. Somehow at the end of the Cubs game I had enough energy to keep going and went and met up with Kate and some other friends over in Wicker Park to watch the Butler VCU game which Butler won. So I'll be headed back out Monday to watch the championship game with that same group.
By the end of that game I was beat. I just went home but once I got there I realized it was still Saturday and I couldn't very well just sit in on a Saturday so I went and watched a movie with Brit. I love the area of Chicago that I live in. It truly is college with a salary. I can just walk down the street to my friends houses and hang out just like I did in college and I can walk anywhere and run into friends just like college. And best of all when your worn out on a Saturday night there is always someone close by to just have a chill night with and yet still have lots of fun at the same time just like college. Once i made it home Saturday night I had a beer with my neighbor and my roomie on the front stoop and I played with my camera. Some random guy wanted to be in one of the pictures and Nikki wanted to title it "and then there was that guy....."
