Windy cities blues!

Take me back to Chicago
Lay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best.
Take me back to Chicago
Where music was all I had
I tried to be good as I could
And sometimes that made me sad.
Take me back to Chicago, to Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago.
I still dream of the Lake of peacefulness
The warm summer breeze
'Cause my life was so much simpler then
Street corners and Tastee Freeze.
Take me back to Chicago
'Cause hustlin's not my style
LA was just a bit too hard
I wish I could be a child
Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago.
Take me back to Chicago
Lay my soul to rest
Where my life was free and easy
Remember me at my best.
Take me back to Chicago
'Cause hustlin's not my style
LA was just a bit too hard
I wish I could be a child.
Livin' back in Chicago, in Chicago
Why don't you take me back
Take me back, take me back
To Chicago.
Take me back, take me back.

Yeah so that was great huh? I was back in the Midwest this past Thursday, it was odd coming back to a place that I had been so many times and considered my second city. I even made it back to Mechanic St in good o’l Berrien Springs. My uncle owns the house I spent my college years in so it was freakin crazy to be there again and not have all my mates there. I stopped by to visit my favorite Fuste’s after I picked up my usual at Baguette France (Veg on sour-dough w/garlic sauce minus blk olives, yum!) they were happily and confused, they kindly showed me their pad, they’re great! Also saw an old face while I was there, Heather and her baby girl. It’s insane to think she’s a mom; she still looks the same from 4 yrs ago. Friday night I hung out with muthatucker, T, Schmidty and we shared some good laughs!!! Its was great seeing them, sorry I don’t have pictures of them but I felt a bit odd saying hey let me take a picture of you two! Finally I made it back to Chicago and we did the Tourist thing, after we got lost in the freaking ghetto! Thanks Tena. I got all confused and went to the Science and Industry Museum instead of the field Museum, plus I forgot to go to Millennium Park! I guess I can’t be expected to remember everything right? I did get to see the J Brown’s and schmidty again! He was stalking me! Haha, I kid, I kid. I realized that no matter how long of time goes by it always feels like the last time when I see JB!! That’s right, that just happened!
Sunday was just a day of walking, I went to the zoo where I heard a Tiger yell, which just made me curious to see who would win a staring contest between me and the tiger. As I got closer I realized he would because his breath stunk like caca! I also saw the king of the jungle, he was chillin on a rock with his legs spread open! Lazy fool.

I ended up by the Zebra’s and I thought how cool it would be to ride a zebra, then I remembered that I didn’t know how to ride a horse how would I know what to do with a Zebra?! Moving on, we made it to Navy Pier…there’s picture that I will post…if anything it was nice to be with my fam.

I suppose if anything, it was great to see my Mom smile, she told me the night before I left, that she smiles the most when she my face! Thanks Mom, I think you’re great too!
