the taste of chicago!

our camera was acting up the day we went to the taste, the 4th of july (our first mistake) so this is the only picture we have and it pretty much sums the whole experience up! i thought it would be on the grass under the pavillion with nice little tents along the edge...so when it was really thousands of middle-american people (if you have not heard me speak about going to a walmart in gary, indiana you may not know how i feel about the general middle-american population, just use your imagination) sweating, eating ribs and yelling at their children down a dirty street, i was less then excited! Besides my crowd rage, reminiscent of my mothers crowd rage when we accidentally went to disney world the day animal kingdom opened, we did have a few decent tastes and saw a 14 yr old chica-baby-mama get arrested! and we decided that the taste of chicago can be a metaphor for life; you have tickets, (time, money, energy) and you walk along the street (life) seeing things that look good but you don't want to use your tickets because there maybe something even better coming up but then you get to the end and you just end up hot, disappointed and hungry with a handful of now use-less tickets! so use your life tickets friends!! and next year do not ask me to go to the taste with a straight face!
