Location

so i got a problem with the location i am living in right now. well it's only a small problem.

currently i am on the south-side of chicago. it's not that south, but south enough where if i mention bridgeport, folks thinks it's far, though its not. if you compare hipsterville (aka bucktown, logan square, wicker park)to bridgeport to the distance of madison and state, which is chicago's 0,0 location, it's about the same. if anything bridgeport is just a hair further.

now for the problem. friend(s) that i tend to hang out with a lot has a problem coming down to the south-side. i would say, i head up north 4 to 5 times a week to just hang out. they come down once every 3 months, if even. does that sound fair? not really. i understand there maybe more places to hang up north, but we always go to the same bars, and they are shitty with shitty people or expensive. see now, down here on the south-side we got bernice's tavern, which has fairly cheap beer (2 bucks pbr), good live music, and good people. now these friends of mine never got a chance to experience all three of those together because they rarely come down.

i guess i am just frustrated, boys tend to not want to take an extra leap for a girl unless they want to f*ck her.

anywho, because i was stubborn last night and choose not to go out to the green mill or bernice's, i watched the temptations the movie. i am a sucker for movies based on the history of music.



last time i watched it was when it came out in '98, i think. 11 years later, movie is just as good, if not better, just because i appreciate music a lot more. and watching the movie got me thinking about my recent visits to detroit, oh how i miss my kristine and the quiet big city of detroit!
