Never had one lesson




Flowerpot Men--"Beat City"

Summertime in Chicago is hands down the best city in America. Forget the humidity free, perfect weather for 3 months, but with all of the music, food, and plethora of street side events and activities to take advantage of, there's absolutely no way you can get board. I was able to enjoy a couple summers living in Chicago and it literally is like one big party every day. That being said, it's safe to say Chicagoans are going to lap up every freakin' milisecond they get during summer because during the other 8 months out of the year, the city is a polar icebox. Frozen boogers, ice everywhere, it even gets too cold to snow. I won't even bring up lake effect or wind chill. All things mentioned, if I was in high school and the forecast for one day in the middle of April was supposed to 75/sunny, I'd be fucking skipping school in a heartbeat!!!!

Ferris Bueller's Day Off is probably one of most memorable movies in the 80's that really had absolutely no point. Some kid skips school, drives his best friend's dad's ferrari, and gets chased around by Ed Rooney and sings in a parade. unreal. How the hell did this movie get funded? And on that note, why haven't movies like this one been funded since? It seems like they never make em' like they use to but I guess that's a different topic. Anywho, everyone remembers the scene where Cameron and Ferris pick up Sloan from school and they head downtown? Everyone remember's the "I love it when you, vroom, vroom!!" Yes, that's the link above. Memory lane rocks, enjoy the Flowerpot Men. You didn't think I'd miss out on a post today did you? What country do you think this is?
