The more things change, the more they stay the same. The bitties of the barn. October 12, 2012. Waiting in line at Itty Bitty Burger Barn is a given. And with the cramped space, you can’t help but overhear what other patrons are gabbing about. Seeing that this is Texas, there’s also that auto-invite to chime in, make friendly with other locals, and leave a locale with new best friends for life. Yes, so terrible. Saw that on the news last night. I think it was right where the road curves over there. And t...

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Newer posts →. June 17, 2010. New Year’s Eve is hands-down my favorite day of the year. There’s something magical about the calendar clicking over, and immediately starting anew. It’s like a cosmic birthday that everyone celebrates, anticipates, and absolutely revels in. Not only do you get to wipe away the muck from the previous 365 days, you set the tenor for how you want your year to go. Breaking a bad habit? My already-tiny frame has seen ten pound...

https://chicagojo.net/category/me-being-a-softie
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Category Archives: Me Being a Softie. September 13, 2011. This story begins like several others from my early 20s:. A year ago last night, I was hanging from a light post in front of Wrigley Field. Alas, instead of a Bud Light-induced fit of euphoria where I exclaimed my love for late-night bars that serve taquitos, or a similarly-caused clinging to make the world stop spinning, I gripped the post while grabbing my neck and screaming. I again got anoth...

The more things change, the more they stay the same. And then I’m gone. August 25, 2010. As soon as I put in an offer on a house in my current city, I immediately got buyer’s remorse. Read a few psych books and draw your own conclusions, but it was immediately suffocating to think that I was staying in this city. I took this opportunity to back out of the contract, eat the dollars I spent on the inspection, and come up with a new game plan. Suddenly my panicked wheezing stopped. The plan after that?

The more things change, the more they stay the same. And then I’m gone. Why Groupon is awesome →. The alarm goes off soon. December 30, 2010. When I moved to Chicago in 2003, I was repeatedly asked why I was heading there. I merely replied, I’m going to rollerblade and play beach volleyball. I couldn’t really come up with a better explanation to why I’d leave my comfortable life for something completely unknown, so that two-item checklist had to suffice as an answer. Now that the holidays have wrapped up...
