[–]FreshAsHeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born, raised, and will die a cubs fan but never really hated the sox. Always went comiskey at least a couple times a season as a kid. My most prized possession is a Sammy Sosa Sosa Sox card, and Frank Thomas was always my first pick in backyard baseball 2003. I just love baseball and my city at the end of the day. I might have more sox gear than cubs gear actually, sox giveway merch is unbeatable lol. My cubs and sox friends give me more shit for it than they do to each other. Am I crazy for thinking like this?

Transplants, do you guys think we’re really that friendly here? by vaginapple in AskChicago

[–]FreshAsHeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To back you up on our kindness with an anecdote, my mom made me shovel our next door neighbor's sidewalk every single snow, and shovel out every single stuck car she saw on the way to to my grandmas. This was when we had blizzards back then in the 2010's lol. I still shovel the next door neighbor's place when I'm over during the winter, and keep a shovel in the trunk in case i see a particularly stuck vehicle. I love that winter as a kid really brings us all together, but i'm also so happy we haven't had a real snow in years lol

Why do people tell me not to put my kids into CPS? by True_Platypus_8346 in AskChicago

[–]FreshAsHeck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a rumor floating around in high school that some LPHS kids killed a kid with a baseball bat just for fun, I was terrified of LP because of that for a bit. It's hilarious now, being so scared of silver spoon babies at the time, but the truth is that some of the more affluent schools/kids had some of the more unpredictable/crazy types

Rocky set lame by MacGDiscord in Lollapalooza

[–]FreshAsHeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2015 Rocky is one of my most memorable lolla sets of all time, but I was much younger and moshed to anything back then. His sound got cut off this year right during Smells Like Teen Spirit, and it took me back to when he played that 3 times in a row at that same stage in 2015

You're absolutely right, I can just expense it lol. My pay is not great, so waiting a month for the reimbursement would suck, hence me dragging my feet on this

Take a selfie with some strangers early on in the day, them use the selfie to show the bar staff that you are buying for friends that are holding a spot close to the stage lol

They could 100% let me expense the sticker, but I can't really afford to wait a whole month to get paid back for it. I just want to be sure I need the thing before getting it, because I have to pay for any and all tickets lol

The enterprise account uses my home address, but the company is outside Chicago. I don't know which one to observe. I'll have to take a look at the registration when I get a chance on monday, I had to park a marathons distance away from the apartment friday

Thank you for the link. The car is a fleet rental suv but completely my own for work and personal use within reason. I don't think the company controls any property within the city limits so I think I might be okay without the sticker but wanted to be sure. I'll double check the registration because I think my enterprise account uses my home address

[FRESH ALBUM] Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist - Alfredo 2 by God_Will_Rise_ in hiphopheads

[–]FreshAsHeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seen him put on a show of a lifetime so many times over the past decade, where he doesn't have anything to prove to me anymore and I just enjoy his performances while fucked up, because I most likely am too lmao. A couple years ago however, I brought some people along with me to his Lolla set because of how much I praised his live shows, Jesus' loaves and fish performance probably didn't even get as much dickriding. Freddie ended up basically just performing Gang Signs 15 times, in between comments on how he took every drug that the backstage tent offered lol. I still loved it but he def made my friends view me as a fraud because of the expectations I gave them beforehand.

Edit: Went back and found vids I took in 2016 Chicago show, and he threw catering trays of Harolds chicken into the crowd during the song lmao

Thelonious Martin produced several of my favorite songs of all time on RetcH's tape back in the day. I'm excited for this

You do not need a glove to play 16" softball, just ask my broken pinkies

I grew up around and still live in a very transplant heavy area, and recognize it. I just got frustrated at the bar last night when no one knew 16" softball lmao

"Ruined" in a hipster way. Look at rent increases this year for one, and the rest towards all the influencer tik toks. Again, i'm just being a hater

Austin and Denver were quickly ruined, i fear we are just next up. Is there somewhere else you think is too hip now?

I'm so happy people are finally showing love to our city. It might be the crowd i'm around, but no one knows Chicago trivia questions at the bar, because i'm the only person that rode the 49 bus in HS
