I had a great weekend. On Saturday I headed to the Irish American Heritage festival (no , I'm not Irish but my boyfriend is) We chatted with friends and enjoyed some great music. We then headed to Chief O'neils on Elston (still trying to keep the Irish thing going) We left a bit after 2 in order to avoid the L.A.T.E Ride bikers.
I dropped his butt at home he wanted me to stay over but I kinda wanted to see the biker pass by my house so I left. It was almost an eternity to get to my house early Sunday morning. Foster was blocked off and the cops were not allowing anyone cross on Kedzie, I mean come on I was 2 blocks from my house. So I had to get creative I took some side streets and went the wrong way down a street(Hey it was 4 in the morning no one is out)Finally making to Kedzie and sat for about 5 minutes waiting for a pockect of no riders to cross Kedzie and finally made through. As I sat there I was a bit envious of those rider I wanted to do the L.A.T.E. ride. I did the ride 2 summer ago and had a great time once we were able to pass the congestion downtown, maybe next year.
Sunday BJ and I rode to the lake to see our all time favorite band (J/K) General Patton and his privates. They were playing for the Peace fest/Weed fest had a good time. As we sat enjoying the show 2 chicks came up to use to ask if we would take a survey and it paid, no it wasn't a sex survey but and actual study. The chicks said they were from the U of I campus focusing on Latinos, exercise and the lakefront.
In order to get paid we have to wear some sort of monitor that records your activity and calories burn for 7 days send it in and collect a check, that's it.
BJ's friend Smooth D came by and convinced me to jump in the lake with the clothes I was biking in at first I declined but as I saw how much fun BJ and smooth D were having I jumped in and enjoyed it. I loved it, yes it was a bit crazy , crazy for my standards but it was FUN. At the lake while waiting a bit to dry off we had some elotes con todo including chile. Yum Yum !
After we rode to the Old town school of Folk Festival on Lincoln Ave and Montrose.
BJ and I had a dilemma It was 5 bucks to get in and we were down to our last 5 bucks so we scanned the area to see were the weak points of the festival were aka we wanted to sneak in, and found NOTHING. We sat near the festival entrance debating if we should pay our last 5 bucks or get something to eat and there a weak spot in the fortress the guy who monitored the exit stepped away for like 3 minutes and BJ and I looked at each other and decided to break in and we made it. BJ then had another dilema buy a beautiful necklace with a school or eat she made the right choice eat , she had something creek and I had a pina colada for $4. I still have a buck in my pocket. Well we went to Wells park to see OZOMATLI the greatest band ever and thats no joke. They played an awesome set and BJ and I had a great time. Once over we headed home on our bikes and went mimi aka sleep.

Drama for your Mama
I had a great time this weekend surrounded by family and friends. There was one incident or shall I say DRAMA that happened and guess who was in it? YES ME!
I attended Aunt Mae's July 3rd party and there was an obnoxious guy, Gilbert. I would describe Gilbert as an OBNOXIOUS FAT DRUNK FUCK. I maybe said 2 words to him Hi and bye the entire day, Anyway I had gone out to the car to get my swimsuit when out of nowhere Gilbert flicks me with water and mumbles something. I in turn tell him "Your ass needs to calm down" as I pour my miller lite on his face. Well you would think this obnoxious FAT DRUNK F. Gilbert would get the picture right? He didn't he proceeded to rub himself and lick the beer from his face in a nasty way.
I under stood he was drunk and it wasn't a big deal to me. He just touched a nerve when he flicked water, listensing to this man talk for 8 hours about everything he didn't know, I guess ballooned to me pouring beer on him.
We have all been obnoxiously drunk at one point, I know I have and many buddies have forgiven me for stupid shit that came out of my ass but this guy is the KING OF Obnoxious fat drunk fuck's.
Back to Gilbert, he came into the house where Aunt Mae was and started to whine about what happened and called me a bitch. I wasn't in the room , so I wasn't aware of this till the end of the night. Aunt Mae decided to kick his ASS, just kidding! She spoke, he argued and there was going to be a FIGHT, A FIGHT ,but the kiddies got in it and he was asked to leave.
The funny thing is that I never said anything to anyone about this , Gilbert dug his own hole because he is an OBNOXIOUS FAT DRUNK FUCK!

Sadness
I feel blue today and I don't know why. It's a beautiful day and haven't had any issues today. I'm guessing that the pain in my leg is getting to me. I'm in pain, the pain that effects your well being. I guess I just found my cause.

VALIDATION
Today at lunch as I made a quick buy at CVS in Evanston, the girls at the counter where talking about the Dunkin Donuts located at the Davis St. L stop.
She asked her coworker if she had seen the new shop?
Girl 2 said no and didn't know what she was talking about. So at that point I joined the conversation with Girl 1
I told her that I found it nasty and I couldn't put the two things together.
Girl 1 said I can see them putting a convenience store or a little pop and candy store but Dunkin Donuts?
I said I know and left it at that.
proof that I'm not the only one that sees something wrong with that.

El Tren
So I have been riding the "L" this week and boy has it changed. I will say the last time I rode the train for more than a week period had to have been at least 8-10 years ago.
Did you know they have a Dunkin Donuts at the Davis Street station? It's kind of disgusting actually. All I could think of was smelly urine, sorry the smell of fresh brewed coffee had not hit my big nose that morning. I mean the Dunkin Donuts could be a great place to catch something on the go, but at the L? I cant seem to add the two together. It's only logical that they would go together but they cant sell to this baby. Ok, maybe if I was really really hungry and I was in a hurry.
On the Brown line on Kedzie there is a guy who gives you the Red eye for free. Yes I know they are free to begin with but he actually stands there and gives them to you. You don't have to open a newspaper box and get it yourself. I like that.
When I decided to take the train to work for a week I thought I was going to be able to finish my book Playing with Boys but nooooo I have been to distracted by everything new along the Brown line, Red line and Purple line.
I have come to the conclusion that I should take the train more often to change the routine a little. I should sacrifice (is sacrifice the right word?) my personal space (my car) for a day or two a week for a crowded CTA train.
Sorry I'm not used to this. I have also found that I get motion sickness on the train. I swear I grew up in the city have lived here all my life. I not a whinnying suburbanite, but I might just act like one on this post.

Playing with Boys
I'm currently reading "Playing with Boys" by Alisa Valdes Rodriguez and found the following paragraph to ring true, atleast for me.
A character in he book was asked if she was married. She answered No, but was really thinking.....
"I'm heading on thirty and still can't find a man who can stand me. I'll never have children unless it is through surgical intervention. I am thinking the best remedy for all of this is to adopt three hundred cats, one for each pound I plan to weigh soon because I cant seem to stop spooning cookie ice cream into my gaping maw thanks to my increasingly realistic fear of being single forever, Amen.
couldn't have said it better myself. Check her out at http://www.alisavaldesrodriguez.com/

And now..
I spent my birthday just like I wished for, con amistades. We had Tapas and Sangria for dinner at Tapas Barcelona, after we headed to Tommy Nevins. Had a couple of Martinis and hung out with the drunks of downtown Evanston.
People did ask about A. My answer to this burning question was "He isn't here, draw your own conclusion" One of my best friends "Annie Oakley" spent much of the night telling me how beautiful I am and assuring me I will find someone else, because who wouldn't want to date me. Don't answer that! She also at one point told her hubby to repeat all these nice ego busting comments to me, he refused and told her he was now a married man and he cant say things like that about me and or any other female but his mujer. Awwww what a sweet and smart man.
