Happy Valentine's Day from This Guy and His Pet Rooster!!

My co-worker comes back from her lunch and she tells me that she has a picture to show me. 

She shows me this picture of a homeless guy and his pet Rooster, she said that she could not believe her eyes. The rooster's name is Garfield, and he was walking up and down State Street in Chicago. How random is it to find a guy with a pet rooster out on the street?

His sign does say Happy Valentine's Day, I just thought I would share this picture.

Back Fired!?

Have you tried to help somebody before and things just did not go as planned?

It back-fired and blew up in your face. Then you find yourself wondering why did I even offer assistance or even put myself in that situation. It happens to all of us, we try to do something and it doesn't turn out the way we intended.

So I'm going to stop volunteering my help, and my advice. Just wait until I am asked for help or for  my advice. That seems easier than taking it into your own hands.

What a Year, Goodbye 2013

    

 In 2013 so much has happened but by far the happiest moment for me was the birth of my twin nephews Jet and Jax on the 4th of July. They have brought so many smiles to my family, it is ridiculous. They were a breath of fresh air, and I can't wait for all the time I get to spend with them. I love these little guys.

    I lost one of my dogs this year, he was with me since the beginning of high school. I enjoyed having him here all these years and I know he is a better place now. All around i couldn't really ask for a better pet. He was truly like a member of the family.

My Grandfather turned 80 this year, what a milestone. I couldn't have asked for a better grandparent. Sometimes difficult but still irreplaceable. At 80 he still does everything that he can for his family.

There are so many more things that happened in this year. My cousin revealed that she will be expecting a baby girl sometime in January. I strengthened my friendship with my real friends and cut off the fake people. I am leaving most of the negative behind, but it's the same me going into 2014.

Chicago Weather

      Chicago weather is no joke, like one minute it can feel nice and then all you know is that you have on two coats, a hat, and some gloves. If you plan to visit the "Windy City" I suggest that you buy a coat from here for here. If you're from a place where it doesn't snow often or it's warm year round, then you haven't experienced anything like this before. The winters of Chicago are brutally cold, but its my city and I love it. So pretty much if you like the winter season Chicago is a place to check out, but if you can't handle being cold, just wait until the summer time.

Chicago or Chi-Raq ??

Look violence in Chicago has gotten so out of hand these days its ridiculous. I remember when I was attending CSU (Chicago State University) the weather was just starting to break. So of course people were happy that the weather was starting to get hot, but the first two weeks of hot weather 40 people were shot. People crack jokes all the time about how the heat brings the violence, but to turn on the news everyday and see some one has fallen again due to a shooting is very sad. Like when you need a gun to sit on your own porch you know things are getting critical.  People coming outside with guns tucked away saying " Man I always have to be prepared, you never know what is about to happen." It is crazy how some people come outside and see guns and have no reaction, that is the part that is crazy. People are so used to seeing guns that it doesn't even have an effect on them. Like it is just crazy when I think about it.

One Bad Thing About The iPad

First off I would like to say that, I am an apple fan. I like most of their merchandise, but something that does turn me away from having apple everything is the fact that the iPad neither has a USB port nor does it read as a mass storage drive (the iPhone doesn't either)  when plugged into the computer. (I know the cord gets plugged into a USB port on the computer but that is not what i am talking about. I am talking in the since of plugging a "Flash Drive" into the iPad). When plugged into the computer, why do i have to use iTunes? Why can't I just copy a movies and/or music over that I already have on the computer instead of having to convert it and all this other nonsense?

By the way I have the iPad.
