QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 03:51 PM) Despite all the evidence, I really can't believe the sox are THIS bad. I know I should root for the worst season ever but in practice, ugh, how could this be? Last year was a fluke. There isn't any other way to describe it.

f*** it. I'm moving to Japan.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 11:13 AM) People who've been married for over 5 years understand and accept that there will be times where they feel like strangling their spouse. That's just surreal to me but I've never been married let alone been a relationship of over five years. That's some pretty scary s***. I would hope I never feel that way but I imagine that being together with someone for a long time will eventually lead to some animosity.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 1, 2013 -> 11:09 AM) I'm having one of those "I'm 100% right, but for the sake of peace I need to be quiet" moments. Just because I love my spouse doesn't mean I like her all the time or can even stand her ass at certain moments. Awww s*** man. Sometimes you just got to be the bigger man.

Which opening was everyone's favorite? The Wire that is.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 09:11 AM) Season 3 of the Wire is really good. Just finished it myself. I can't believe I missed this quality show back in the day.

Duke and his bulls*** again. No one cares about Zimmerman and his gun yo.

Let this chica go man. Find an older one.

Did you atleast get it in?

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:10 PM) Yea I'm in a smaller 2br as well, probably 850-900sqft, but its in a great area (Damen and Greenleaf). Super quiet over here, just a bit far from the L though. Damn dude. You live like a few blocks from me. I'm at Damen and Rogers. LMAO

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) Damn that's cheap, the only ones I could find that were that cheap weren't rehabbed and were in bad shape. It's a relatively small 2BR, like 800 Sq. ft but it's not in the greatest area of Rogers Park. I haven't had any problems though.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 08:43 PM) Awesome Rock! I grew up there, definitely a good place to raise a family. One benefit to living in Rogers Park is the insanely cheap rent, our 2br got 'raised' to $1185 a month (from 1150). Most of my friends in River North-ish area pay close to that per person. I live in Rogers Park too. I pay $900 for a 2BR condo.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) Wow, I wish we could get that much, but the rent we were able to get on our condos went up $150-$200 this year. There are rules as to what you can charge for rent?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) 2 bedrooms are starting to go for 3k over here. Proximity to the beset restaurants in chicago, public trans and the highways are big pulls. Our building historically has been full of doctors doing their residency at Rush. 3K... wow just wow. I guess if people are willing to pay that much, go for broke.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:10 AM) LOL. I've had to sue a previous landlord back in the day for my security deposit back since he used it on upgrades due to "damage". Bulls*** artists, all of them. Side note: listed my place for rent yesterday for 2700 to see if anyone wanted to overpay, 4 people already called me. Crazy how high rent has gotten. No offense but why in the world do people pay those prices to live somewhere?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 30, 2013 -> 11:38 AM) As a landlord in Chicago, I would just like to add that the landlord/tenant laws are a huge pile of horse manure. Elaborate? Rule of thumb. If they speaka no engrish, stay far far far away.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2013 -> 01:36 PM) You're right. It's a standardized test, it's manageable. But also remember...the more you pretend to be intimidated going in, the more you're going to prepare. Even if you shouldn't be intimidated, if you really want a top level grad school or money from the school, whatever...you want to be overprepared. Of course preparation is the key for any test. I'm not saying to walk in there cold turkey, plop down, and expect to ace it. I just will put forth a adequate amount of time studying for it. I'm not pulling an all nighter like it's a final exam.

I am taking the GRE this fall. I like this thread. My gut tells me I should be intimidated but it's a standardized test, how hard could it be.

The hell out of America. You need this option.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 07:24 PM) should have charged him with manslaughter and convicted him. Rather than 2nd degree murder trying to prove he had "hate in his heart" and he was a racist. you going to prove beyond a reasonable doubt he killed with intention due to racism? that is where you guys f***ed up. What do you mean you guys? You mean the Florida prosecutors?

Man I would love to see a poll of which states that GZ would be convicted or acquitted with the evidence that was presented.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 11:50 AM) I didn't see anything about the lawyers doing that, but who knows if Zimmerman told them to do that. More likely it's the attorneys trying to keep their names in the press. I actually agree that the lawyers said, "Hey GZ this is a perfect opportunity to boost your status!" GZ probably wants to be disappear for the time being until things cool down.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 11:41 AM) See what you started Balta? 9/11 was an inside job too. Jenks I was talking about how is lawyer wanted the people he saved to give a statement to the media. That in itself is a publicity stunt. If he just saved them and went about his way, that would have been a better response. The sheer fact that he's just trying to get positive publicity is sad considering it will do no good. That's all I was trying to say.

Steve, LMAO!

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:44 AM) Which is just f***ing sad. The dude was found not guilty. There is more love in this country for the boston bomber than George Zimmerman. LMAO.... what? I mean Zimmerman dug his own grave so now he'll have to lie in it. I guess my thing is, why is he trying these publicity stunts? He should be staying out of the public eye so it'll blow over at some point. No one will really change their opinion of him even if he saved 20 babies out of a burning building.
