			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i&#8217;ve decided that the homeless population in downtown chicago is really quite creative.  much more creative than the heartsiders of grand rapids, anyway.  naturally, there are the ne&#8217;re-do-wells who shout expletives at you for not giving up a square (i&#8217;m trying to bring that word back &#8211; is it working?), but there are some who go above and beyond.  some who strive for glory.  some who deserve my &#8220;last&#8221; cigarette <em>and</em> the mcdonald&#8217;s gift card i was holding on to for a future hang over. </p>
<p>my favorite?  the bum at the corner of clark and lake who shakes his change cup like a maraca to the radio station in his head.  w-can-i-get-a-quarter&#8217;s hot jam for today:  eye of the tiger. </p>
<p>badass, man.  bad.  ass. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>it&#8217;s come to my attention that i haven&#8217;t written more than a to-do list since i graduated from college. that makes this whole blogging thing&#8230; well, really frakkin&#8217; hard.  thankfully (i use this word very loosely), my friend mirela convinced me to complete this &#8220;25 things about me&#8221; hokey-pokey that&#8217;s been swirling around the internets recently (read:  forever).  the redeeming factor in all of this:  it&#8217;s just another list.</p>
<p>1. i&#8217;m obsessed with all things relating to the 80s cartoon Jem. two days ago &#8211; at work - i made this: </p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-36" title="truly-outrageous3" src="http://shoesbucket.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/truly-outrageous3.jpg?w=460" alt="truly-outrageous3"   /> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>2. when i was 7, my cousin and i got in trouble for flashing our nether regions to the neighbor boy (we had bathing suits on!).  it was in fit of rage and meant to be incendiary.  clearly, as 7 year olds, we had no idea what actions equaled rage.</p>
<p>3. chicago deep dish pizza is terrible. i&#8217;d rather have a mama cosi&#8217;s pizza from aldi. srsly.</p>
<p>4. even though i&#8217;ve been on two bahamian cruises with my family, i still tell poeple that i&#8217;ve never been on a vacation.  if i can&#8217;t do what i want when i want, it&#8217;s not a vacation.  &#8217;cause &#8220;i do what i waaant!&#8221;</p>
<p>5. i still have 20 more of these things to go?</p>
<p>6. in grade school, i &#8220;dated&#8221; a guy who&#8217;s head was shaped like a football.  literally.  raise your right hand and pretend your gripping the pigskin (yeah, i said it).  now imagine an oblong head with a little, wiggling 4th grade body attached.  that was jeff ralverson (name changed to protect the innocent).</p>
<p>7. i&#8217;m deathly afraid of a deathly death. the government should just give everyone those little suicide pills, just in case.</p>
<p>8. i once wracked up around $600 in parking tickets in grand rapids.  a general parking ticket there is $15.</p>
<p>9.  even though i&#8217;ve repeatedly told my father that my bf&#8217;s name is darrin, he still calls him &#8220;allen&#8221;. </p>
<p>10.  wow, only at #10&#8230;</p>
<p>11. sometimes, i listen to britney spears&#8217; <em>gimme more</em> to get &#8220;pumped-up&#8221; for work, and am now wondering why i just decided to make that public.</p>
<p>12. i&#8217;m constantly trying to invent something &#8211; generally, of a collapsible nature.  i have ideas for a shovel, ketchup containers, and several other products that i&#8217;ve come to realize are already on the market.  i swear i thought of the snuggie when i was like 4.</p>
<p>13.  i take an online i.q. test nearly every other day.  i never finish them.  maybe i should be taking some sort of an a.d.d. test instead.</p>
<p>14. self-diagnosing is the name of my game.  watch me take that a.d.d. test and get on some black market ritalin within the week.  i already have an inhaler for my &#8220;asthma&#8221; and dulcolax for my &#8220;ibs.&#8221;  i&#8217;m kidding&#8230; sort of.</p>
<p>15. first off, i&#8217;m 27&#8230; and on saturday mornings i watch That&#8217;s So Raven and Hannah Montana reruns<em>.  </em>my friends say i should give up on miley for her recent racist-against-asians photo-op.  what they should be telling me is to give up on raven for those white boots she wore on The Family Feud.  did anyone else see that???</p>
<p>16. oh yeah, i&#8217;m obsessed with clothes.  not fashion &#8211; i could give a shit about designers and labels.  clothes, my friends.</p>
<p>17. i eat instant noodle for lunch everyday.  then i take my actual lunch hour and have chicken mcnuggets for desert.  hot mustard ftw!</p>
<p>18. i have a lady-crush on my hair stylist.  period.</p>
<p>19. i once saw this on my way to a meal:</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-37" title="brown-bag2" src="http://shoesbucket.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/brown-bag2.jpg?w=460" alt="brown-bag2"   /></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>appetite fail.</p>
<p>20. i quit a lot of things before i finish them.  i&#8217;m only going to post <strong>20</strong> things about me.</p>
