Matt
My brother and I on Super Bowl XX, January 26, 1986. Brian was only ten days old when the Bears won. All I need to say today is… GO BEARS!

ba ha ha. awesome. somewhere, there is a picture of toddler me in a little bears cheerleader uniform. i would find it, b/c it’s probably cute, but i also constantly make fun of cheerleaders (3 cheerleader sisters), so that might work against me.

Thankx Matt. I had NO IDEA about ANY of that!
I went to a different bank today, and this one didn’t run a credit check; it ran a “check systems” (or something to that effect). Basically what this bank did was check whether I had had negative experiences (as in financially negative, as in if I owed money) with other bankx. I had COMPLETELY forgotten about TCF, which supposedly was in collections. I’m… GUESSING… that’s what yesterday’s bank picked up, because the bank I went to today told me that EVERY BANK would turn me down until I got it taken care of (this bank was really really nice, and I was in a better mood). So… (and this is why I want the last few hours back of my life) I walkd. All the freakin way to TCF (in Palos Heights, to the Jewel on 127th). They bulshited me and said I owed them money that I KNOW I’d paid 2-3 years ago. But I paid it anyway. I’m finding that it seems inevitable to have to pay money to make money *grumble…slightly* Long story short, if TCF doesn’t bulshite me again, I WILL be able to open an account at that bank in a week. Thing is, I needed something to prove that it was all taken care of, but I’m 90% sure I left that proof at the f-ing TCF bank! I’m over it now, more or less, but it was pretty dang frustrating for a good while and a half there (a lot of time that seemed to be wasted, you know?)
Again, thankx for the information. Talk to you later. Actually, wait–so you just ask for a free credit report? You can just send in your name and that’s it? They check for SSN and all that other information? (I didn’t want to send out a letter with just my name and get nothing back or else a letter explaining that I need this.. and this… and that… before I get anything)

I don’t even care anymore. They shouldn’t be making up charges like that for no reason. They could have just TOLD ME, the FIRST FREAKING TIME, that I owed $141.49, instead of bulshiting me out of my money like that and tacking on charges like they did. Fuking thieves!

IM is NOT WORKING on this computer for some reason!
I don’t know what’s going on. A couple weeks ago the ‘net just started getting really slow and now I can’t ever sign on.

Hey Matt! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I’m doing great, got a full time job at Sertoma Centre in Alsip and am loving it!

Yeah, it finally felt like the right time to update. Thanks for checking up on me. So, how are you doing? I haven’t really talk to you in what feels like about a year. Is that right? Has it really been year? Well, I hope your doing ok. How is the whole wedding thing coming? Is Amanda freaking out about stuff yet or is it all already taken care of?
