I had said I would be there at noon. I saw Mike and Heather holding card board signs that read "Free Listening" and I thought to myself, "oh boy", it's going to be one of those days. I was already confronted.

I went to the Andersonville Midsomarfest this past weekend with my amazing friends, Mike and Royce. Andersonville is one of my favorite neighborhoods in Chicago. It was traditionally a Swedish neighborhood, and now it has transformed into an urban hub with lots of great shops, bars and restaurants, but it hasn't lost it's quaint neighborhood feelingRonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16989542621583387180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3243076.post-6849668786118682302009-06-01T21:51:00.001-05:002009-06-01T21:51:38.425-05:00I love the new Lady GaGa Video!Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16989542621583387180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3243076.post-53575690642688756592009-05-29T22:43:00.004-05:002009-05-29T22:51:52.248-05:00The view from my windowThis is the view from my window.

This week is my last week in the office, and I will be off on my own again, working for myself at home as a freelancer. It's exciting and scary at the same time. I like being my own boss. What I am creating for myself out of this opportunity as a freelancer is the possibility of being risky and passionate. Just saying those words gives me the goose bumps.

I have lots to tell you. In January, I was invited to go to R. Kelly's birthday party with my good friends, Soraya and Leticia. It was quite an experience. I felt like such an R&B groupie! We had to ride out to Chicago Heights, where we were picked up by a bus that drove us to his residence - yep, that's right! We went to R.

It has been an amazing and challenging year for me. Earlier this year, I got out of an eight and a half year relationship, lost my job, moved out of my place, and faced the garbage in my life - and it has all been such an amazing experience. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I wouldn't be where I stand today had I not gone through what I experienced.

Brad and Bryn live in Oregon, Wisconsin, which is right outside of Madison. Brad and Bryn live in a beautiful secluded area on Oregon. They got me hooked on the new HBO series "True Blood". We watched 5 episodes through On Demand. Brad took us to the local dive bar where we played pool and met some of his friends.

He passed away in his sleep a few days ago after spending the evening with his wife and children who were visiting from out of town. He was 58 years old. It was completely unexpected. My mother sang the Ave Marie during the service in church. I was lost in my mother's voice. I was so moved.

I did the Landmark Forum in July of 2006, and my life has never been the same since then. It has really opened up my world of communication, and my relationships with the people in my life, and people in general. It is a three and a half day inquiry about your life - how exciting is that?
