Fourth of July Weekend.

Before I get to the weekend, gotta make mention of the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks. What a great experience seeing the Hawks win the Cup and seeing 2 million people show up to downtown Chicago for the parade. And the White Sox have been on a tear recently, at one point winning 11 straight games. They are currently only 1 game out of first place in the Central.
Now to the weekend. It started off just grand. The parade and fireworks in my hometown are always done the day or two before the 4th. So I was on my way to that from Monee, where I live. I pull up to a stoplight in Monee and I have both windows open. I have my music up a little bit, still not what I would consider loud, when a cop pulls up next to me. He apparently hears my music and decides to pull me over. He is pretty much a complete douchebag. He yells at me for my music, then asks where Im coming from, tell him home, then asks why i didnt report to the secretary of state a change of address. So this asshole writes me a ticket for not reporting a change of address to the secretary of state within 10 days of moving. Cops in Monee have literally nothing better to do than be assholes about stupid shit. So he made me late meeting all my friends to go to the parade.
The parade and fireworks were really fun. The parade was much better than last year, more floats and what not. The governor of Illinois was even in the parade, although I just wanted to throw things at him. Also got to see a lot of people that I hadnt seen in a while and got to hang out with a cool girl. I have known her for a while and actually dated her for a few months sophomore year in college. With the distance it just didnt work out well. We were still friends and got along really well and we got to hang out a few times in the last couple weeks. Shes one of my friends cousins and he and another friend are all for her and I happening already. We got to talk a lot and maybe that will go somewhere soon.
Went to the Taste of Chicago Saturday. There were definitely ups and downs to that. Stuffed myself silly. It was pretty amazing. Had some prime rib tacos that were probably the best tacos that I have ever had in my life. Other than the food, there were definitely way too many fat chicks that do not know how to dress themselves. Boobs saggin down to their knees, tank tops that dont cover their stomachs and all their nasty fat rolling over their pants. That was pretty gross.
Sunday went to church and then went to a party at a friends house. Went swimming and had dinner over there. It was a good time. Then when it got dark we shot off a ton of fireworks. They go all out when it comes to fireworks. Even though Illinois made fireworks illegal, they live in an unincorporated area and the cops cant really do much to stop us from blowing them off there. So that was pretty awesome. This morning I went to work because I thought I had to work. Well it turns out that no one felt the need to tell me we have today off of work, so I showed up at 645 like usual and no one was there. So that was a bit upsetting. But that was my weekend. It was a good time. Hope you all had a great 4th of July!!
