Ok. Forget about my wanting to save the world rant.  I have somehow managed to spend too much money, and thus, need more.  As if I wasn't a busy woman as it was, I have come to the realization that I need to get another job.  Boo. Three jobs will suck. 

In other Sarah money news, someone has been charging me from fake online companies.  Yay! I've had to go to the bank twice in the past week to fix this.  Could all you greedy computer hackers just go get a real job like I have to? Thanks!

Went to the VenusZine summer issue release party the other day.  It was pretty alright. Free booze, dancing, hanging out at a fancy loft downtown. Working at this women's magazine is shaping up to be a good gig.  

Crossfader King has a party coming up on Saturday at Sonotheque.  This will be the biggest event that I've managed so I am getting excited for it.  Also, we're working with Lollapalooza on this DJ contest they're throwing.  Basically you send in your mix and go through a few rounds, finals are at the Double Door, and then winners get to play at Lolla.  Winners also win money, tickets to the event, dell computers, and a lot more.  Too bad I am not a dj but if you are go here to check it out.  

It feels like summer outside today and I of course am at work.  Thank god for daylight savings.

I've had too many years of upper middle class private education

There are days when I don't think of my future in terms of how much money I will make or people I'll meet or fun adventures I'll have, but by how many people I could help.  I don't want to be a PR jerk who spends their life convincing people that the lies that corporations spin are true. However I also don't want to be an artist who is blind to the world around them.  

I often think, like most people my age do, how I could change the world. How, if I just spent my life volunteering and being selflessly angelic, the world would be a better place.  But alas, good deeds don't pay the bills and that whole good karma thing doesn't make me a better photographer, plus I am no nun.  Thus, how can we really help the world around us while still taking part in the business world?  I've just spent the last 19 years at private episcopal/catholic schools and I really wish they had gone further than the whole volunteer and be a good person bit.  

I guess it's good that I am young and get a little bit of a pass for taking on odd jobs so that I can try to fight the world's problems one volunteer shift at a time, while also going out too late and spending too much money.  Also, I guess it's good that these are my only problems.  I am sure when I am 30 something and married with kids that saving the world won't involve feeding the homeless but rather making sure my kids grow up to carry on my superwoman ideals for me.  Geez, I hope that my poor hypothetical children don't grow up to be Fox and Friends Republicans. Their grandmother would kill them!

Summer has not visited Chicago yet. It's June and it was 40 something the other night. But due to a non stop schedule, I haven't really been able to pay attention to the lame weather. I started my internship at VenusZine, and apparently the last 19 years of education has made my writing really boring (which you probably know from reading this). I write like I am writing an essay which is obviously not what readers want. Thus the internship is a writing revamp.

Aside from the internship bootcamp, I've been riding my new bike and working. I am moving on Sunday and it should be interesting. My whole apartment aside from my clothes has been sitting in a storage unit in Lincoln Park for over a year. I have no idea what is even in there anymore. 

Dan and Kenya.  I had an event at Sonotheque last Saturday and had to run around taking pictures of people for our sponsor.  I never want to be a night life photographer. 

Jeff and Ron hanging at the bar.

Manuel, Christian, and another Italian guy.  These guys are always happy.

Good job Missouri.  Always a winner when it comes to meth.

I want this.  Who wants to buy me a motorcycle car?

There was really weird lighting at Neo so I took this creepy picture of Dan.  

Bike rides.  We took one of Dan's friends visiting from London on a bike tour of Chicago and ended at the observatory.
