(Warning: This post is not for everyone..you’ll figure out who you are pretty fast.)

A most glorious weekend...

Since I’ve been cavorting in the grand city of London and just returned from Nirvana or Barcelona as its known to others, (momento de silenco por favor) I have noticed a shift in my attitude.

London is not for the faint of hand...

Unlucky...or just unlucky in London???

London is not for the faint of heart. Or for the faint of hand.

The War of American Independence..(I don't think so)

The iconic phone booth we really do love.

I come to you with my head hung low. 150 Fridays implies that I should be blogging at least once a week, but perhaps a more befitting name might now be "33 every third Fridays." (somehow that doesn't have the same ring to it does it…) Please refrain from recalculating my new
age.

Alas, I am sure it's been a tough few months without my proper guidance on how to spend a Friday evening. How have you managed?

A monumental love, maybe.

Harold and Kumar go to...the White House?

I am sure you’ve seen the AP photo of President Bush standing on a chair next to a very, very, very tall guy in a tux. Well, that guy happens to be my really good friend Dave, and yes, he really is that tall. Six foot seven to be exact.

MySpace…MyGod NO

As I sat deciding what I was going to do one Friday night, my mind started to wander back to my mid-20s…ahhh, seems like eons ago. Do you remember the first time you went on MySpace?

Well, maybe some of you don’t. But before Facebook, there was another social networking site…and it was called MySpace. Do people even go on that site anymore? I decided to find out for myself.

Happy Daze: The cure to all of life's problems

I was walking down Rush street the other day past Le Colonial. As I passed, I saw a waiter staring out the window serenely, clearly taking in the great weather. He and I made eye-contact and his expression changed. As he stared at me, I saw a look in his eyes that resembled the first time I realized I only had 150 Fridays until I was 30.

Journey to the Center of the Earth….

I know this blog is about places to visit before you turn 30..however, due to an embarrassingly frequent occurrence, I am compelled to talk about a place that you never, ever, want to visit.

The caverns of Lower Wacker…otherwise known as “the scary place you go to get your car when it[s been towed”.

Think outside the hood…

So I was walking in Bucktown the other afternoon and I swear I saw Moby…..47 times. But then I realized the implausibility of that and remembered no…I was just in Bucktown.

On that same note, I went to dinner in the Gold Coast and had full-fledged conversations with David Hasselhoff…nine different times. It would have been 10, had the Hasselhoff look-alike’s girlfriend not angrily intervened. Then again, it’s hard to convey anger when your forehead doesn’t move…
