Derek Brooks's Microblog

You'd think I'd be a bit better at handling life-stress after that last job of mine.

Lana Del Ray has a track about being in love with diet mountain dew. OMG. *slams another dewsk*

Lana Del Ray is damn good... and totally my mood right now.

Chillin outside with Garth Brooks, a cigar, some dark chocolate, and a splash of henney while the house cools down. Yes.

Home! Our herbs look great, the tomato plants are bearing fruit, the hop bines are going bonkers, my lawn is 6" too long, and I'm a douche!

@clint these small towns I keep passing through remind me of our Wi-Fi... and that quote.

"You know how when you leave the city, visit a small town and things just move a little slower? Well, that's what our wifi's like." - @clint

It's a beautiful day for a drive across highway 20 and through galena. Windows down. Music on blast.

For the record, peanut butter and chocolate covered cheez-its are delicious.

Where can I watch NHL hockey tonight in Chicago that's not a bar or restaurant?

Holy shit! This dude just swooped in outta nowhere and made @clint's day flickr.com/phot...oox/9070424980/

So 47 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend. WTF.

I've walked 19593 steps today! fitbit.com/user/225TR6 #Fitstats

Hangin out and eating pizza on a patio in the old hood with wifey. Today has been beautiful.

Happy Father's day to my rad dad! derek.broox.com...s+craig-brooks/

Running around last night with Kari, Drea, Tag, James, and friends was awesome... and now guess who "needs a deli sandwich" this morning

I love when the L goes from 0 to 150mph and back to 0 in the span of a third mile.
