White SOX parade FRIDAY.....bring your bouncies and meet at 11:45am

Thats right I've got class til 10:20 tomorrow and then its a little Friday after class or as the kids from IOWA call it FAC.

A little decoding before the celebration:

Bouncys-goofy looking plastic miller light bottles you can buy for parades that you can take a sip out of, drop, bounce, and then take another sip.

They're going to be marching bands, sox staff and players, and most importantly fireworks at the river.

The parade of champions as it is called starts at US Cellular at 11:15 and motorcades through southside neighborhoods but the real parade starts at Jackson and Lasalle at noon and finishes at a sweet stage at Lasalle and Wacker. I'm planning on meeting people at Washington and Lasalle at 11:45 and all are invited to meet up for this fan da fucking monium. Da SOX. We're talking Guillen vs God. And Guillen's riding the bus.

Take off work, call in sick, sneak out the sidedoor, say your going to the bathroom and its not number one, don't shower so your boss sends you home to clean yourself, come with dog poop all over your shirt and ask if you can go home to get another, make a cardboardcut out of yourself tonight and place it at your seat and then get low to the ground and crableg it out of the room, but whatever you do make it there and your first bouncy's on me. I'll be there with whitesox from head to toe. I meant that literally. Saweeeeet.

Lets go WHITESOX!

Buerhlieve it or not this is one pitch away from a konerko grandslammer. I once thought that the best baseball game I've ever been to was when I was 11 and rocking robin hit a grandslam to win the game for my birthday. This one however takes the cake, it takes the plates, and oh yeah it takes the bride and groom candies on top as well. After the game I jumped around on 35th st for a while and got on CBS with my "I Buerhlieve!" sign flailing. On the other side I wrote, "On Contreres we won game 1. I'm not getting Crede but I Buerhlieve we will win again tonight!" Yeah that may have been a little too long and illegible for the world to take right now. All I have is Opera Lee in my head with his suit and cape bellowing, "LEEEEETS Go WHITESOX!"  

Its me and JG and the cell on sunday

So I was at Kellys three sheets to the wind last night and JG comes up and says, "hey what are you doing on Sunday." I told him I would be studying and probably kicking around a can on the ground after droping my icecream cone. Then out of a spaceship from the windowsill he slow motion states, "wooould you like too gooo to the game on sundaaaaay, lowwweeer box reeeeeserve." Now I had already had a heart attack from the first part but then my heart turned into a caged coed on sparks with the second. I quickly retracted the studying thing and accepted his very very generous offer. After the that the jury was out and I was all of a sudden Jack Nicholson from Batman(wipe that smirk off your face). Its permanent now.

sidenote-JG is not jeff grand but an old friend from my childhood

A Whitesox winner

Let's go WHITESOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man Thats a damn good feeling. You can put it on the board yes!  

the end. this one is for kit and natalie.

I was not even close. The noodles were completely hard. I look around as if the whole world has heard my head hit the high life sign. It makes me feel like there is hope. We may have to operate on this one

A little too happy for this one. Am I walking through a trail. Why have I knowenth nothing. I may be in the barracks right now

I dare you 

oh thats what we were looking for 

this is the last one. Kubush and Ania had this turned towards the wall. It is from their landlord who had horses all over there apartment. Very strange, A little help would be great on this one. Can anyone make sense of this?

Yeah I think I got it going. 

Its easy you see. His name is Roy. He comes from Alaska last I heard. He is a true friend. One I'd bend over backward for. His Cousin is very nice as I know his whole family must be. We'll make it to the rock city I promise 

how do you get in here 

this explains the leaves looking like hallmark 

I dare anyone to beat that picture of the fire 

math making sense and drinking a beer and a pitcher at the same time. Oh Nokia things were simpler back then 

Dan and robbie think the fire is alright 

I'm thinking here alright 

you don't say this is definitely the future 

kaw 

oh sejuro what does this mean? Brad is in! Nick is thinking what do I have to lose. We're still in the past tense here.  

Call me Scrambies damn it!

I woke up at 8am this morning and had to scramble(not in the good way with cheese)...
8:05-walk around/stretch like austin powers(lots of cleverly placed plants
tea pots)
8:07-carefully measure out needed coffee-2 table spoons and 4 cups water
8:09-brush teeth,put contacts in, shave, and jump in shower
8:13-get out of shower,make poptart and oraaaange juuuuice, look at prepared
lunch in fridge
8:15-dress and look frantically for whitesox hat that was just in my pile of
clothes a second ago
8:17-getting past point of no return so I jet.
8:20-at stop light realize I forgot lunch, raise fist at killy.
8:30-stuck in traffic looking at construction workers and wonder if they were
taught somewhere to do what they do or if it is all on the fly.
8:50-park my car at school and walk through same park I walk through ever day
containing rival geese gangs in four quadrants of park. I run at them,
they hiss, the usual. I'm sort of getting into their wing raising
mannerisms.
8:58-walk into class room only to sit around for 15 min cause the teach is
stuck in traffic.

The whitesox were tragic last night but I've got faith. Oh contrare you say, I burleave we'll be fine tonight. Hummingbiird's playing at the empty bottle tonight as well so if you want to do a gameshow combo package give me a ring.


On to the most important news in Darling history to date...

THE NEW DARLING CD IS AVAILABLE OFF OUR WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Look under news and the new cd could be in your hands in as little as a couple days.

This is the one I'm going to leave you guys with. You can make your own funny caption in the comments section. There's a confidant innocence here. Will's right eye is beginning to open because he's noticing robbie copping a feel. 

This is Kubush and Me in a salt mine in poland. Behind us you ask.. why thats the salt mine band of course.  

It was a cold day in Madrid but an excellent day for poses. Jason knows he's in the picture. And yes Kelly is hiding a marble rye in her lap. 

I don't really know why Kelly was taking a knife out of Will's mouth but I do remember dancing around in circles in a couple of minutes saying, "take off your shoes, take off your shoes, take off your shoes, why don't you just take off your shoes." 

Pip you buckler SINNNNNNNNNNNER. Thats what I should have been yelling in this picture
