Hi, Craig, things were this pretty good week.
May 12: On Tuesday, before our game, I went to two of my classes. While in school, I only saw a couple incidents of goofing off. In other news, we played a baseball game against Walter Payton High School. We lost that game. Score was 4 (us) to 8 (Walter Payton).
May 13: Wednesday was a regular day. Anyway, I saw people just goofing around. The usual. In other news, a few of my classmates and I went to the Devon market to look for some items.
May 14: On Thursday, my class and I went on a field trip to Lincoln Park Zoo. It was a good trip.
May 15: Friday was also a regular day. Anyhow, there was an assembly today which featured a singer from South Africa. He was important enough to get three TV cameras at our school. I'm told one of the cameras was from WLS-TV 7. Also, there was only just some people goofing off and stuff. Whatever. In other news, my class and I threw a party for a student of ours who is graduating from the school and the program. It was a little emotional, to me anyway.
May 18: On Monday, things were ok. Other than kids in my English class talking about gangs and fighting, and really goofing off, things were the usual. In other news, we've got another baseball game. This time, we're playing a group home (I think that's what it is).
- Thanks,
Avondale/Logan Square Crime Blotter

Seems there was a lot of "goofing off" this week, Timmy.
Wow, a whole week and no free-for-all brawls in school? Sound like things have quieted at least for now.
Oh, and Billyjoe, thanks for not disappoting. Your consistency in awaiting Timmy's posts and being the first to respond is... it's... well, it's something...
Man On The Street: Your snarky responses to my Timmy responses are pretty consistent as well.
Or are you also just "goofing off?"
billyjoe,
e-mail me...ckreutz@luc.edu
Billyjoe, if "goofing off" isn't the word for the "incidents" that happen here at Sullivan, then what is?
Man On The Street, things have calmed down, for now. Though with the warm weather coming in, who knows.
rogerspark60645: No thanks to your invitation. I suspect a stern lecture awaiting me should I email you.
I agree Timmy, probably with the warm weather coming in, things will start to pickup... with crime that is. It always seems that the thugs come out to play when it gets nice out.
billyjoe,
Oh, but not at all...
Hmmm going to the zoo, the market and playing baseball the whole week sounds like goofing off.
Timmy are there any plans to take a class trip to the Riverboat in Elgin?
p, we didn't do those things the WHOLE week. If you'd read, you'd see that on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we were in school. Besides, we're allowed to have some fun. The market trip was so we can learn how to shop. As usual, people don't take time to read what I write. I'm just falling on deaf ears.
Timmy: Dont listen to them. The ones that actually read what you post value what you put down.
keep up the good work!
What kind of items were you looking for at the Devon Market? Did they have any specials on anything the neighborhood should be aware of? For instance a gallon of milk for a buck fifty or tube steak for a buck a pound.
Timmy I love reading what you write! Your class goes on many of the trips I used to take my class trips back in the 70's! I was working on the west side and my class was the best! We went to Special Olympics and when we came back with so many medals the principal recognized us at an assembly! The entire school gave my class a stand up applause and my students were so proud!
Keep up the great work!
Billy Joe is not my lover hes just a guy but kid is not my son.
Is Okey a little Drunkey?
Sounds (or reads) like it.
Confidential to MadeInRogersPark: The fragmented sentences throughout your 10:27 pm post confirm that you are (or have been) a CHS teacher. Either that or you and Okey were both drunk when posting your comments.
Billyjoe, YOU'RE the drunk. Plain and simple. It seems to me that you're at the bar when you type up your stupid comments. Hopefully you'll fall of a stool so you can't type. That goes for the rest of the haters as well.
Okey, we were looking for friuts, vegetables and stuff like that.
MadeInRogersPark, you taught a Special Education class? If you did, that's great, because you got to see how we, as disabled kids, are. I'm glad that your class won so many medals as well.
Thanks for your words of kindness, everyone. It feels good that at least a couple of people care about what I write.
Hmmmmm Timmy: You may not like what I write, but I've never wished for something physically bad to happen to you.
You need to consider what makes you hope for terible things to happen to people who don't always agree with your views or what you write.
All good writers learn to accept criticisms of their work.
I went to Thomas Jefferson boarding school briefly. I'm very proud, its hard to win any kind of record at a place like that, but I had the record for the quickest expulsion, it'd be hard to top. They like to hold on to students to compete. It's good that something which made me laugh for days back then still makes me laugh now. I was friends with the cook. It still makes me happy thinking about our friendship. My mother was a terrible cook, so I never had good food, I would never even think to like food till I had good cooking. That cook made some cold soul spaghetti sauce from home grown garden ingredients that blew my mind. She taught me how to make it. I latched on to her. She had alot of work. I helped her. Then I got the idea to hide every single dish and pot and pan in the night. All I did was work quietly through the night, but nobody could believe all the dishes disappeared. She didn't have to cook or clean until they found them. I had to go and brag to a couple of people that I was the mastermind and somebody turned me in. Anyway, I was doomed, it was too interesting of a place to stay out of trouble.
The most interesting thing was my room mate. Nobody would room with her, so of course, I wanted to. She was one of those autistic savants. She could recite an entire lesson word for word, even every number and paragraph indent if it was written or every cough if it was lectured, but she couldn't keep her hair combed and gunk out of her teeth. Once she started menstrating, I had to reconsider, I had to get out of there. I'm not going to explain that to anybody, I'm not going to remember the worst parts very closely.
They didn't have lessons for things like shopping. The first thing that interested me when I left school and went to work was shopping and cooking. It's good they teach young people about that. It's a lifetime of habits that form. I stayed healthy my whole life from shopping for and cooking fresh food. It's not trivial and it's not about getting buck fifty milk that probably has pus in it. You have to get the best stuff. It's an easy habit, cheaper than processed food and you eat like a rich person without having to hire a cook.
Well, billyjoe, what is it with that you don't agree with when I write? All I see from you in every post of mine that Craig puts up here is hate. If it's not me using a good word, it's something defending the bad kids. Besides, these are just OBSERVATIONS, not a QUESTION, so therefore, in my opinion, you can't really agree/disagree. If you really hate my posts so much, do yourself a favor and stop reading them. I'm going to be around for at least 4 more weeks before school lets out.
I don't feel as if I wished anything terrible on you. All I said was to fall off a bar stool. I wasn't wishing that you hurt yourself. I was just hoping you couldn't type your hate towards me.
billyjoe, I'm fine with CONSTRUCTIVE critcism, but the critcism you give crosses the line. Hell, I don't even feel that's critcism. I feel like you're hating.
Well, not to worry, I won't be returning with these observations after October (unless something really bad happens). It's not that I'm sick of these critcisms I get. I have more to do next school year so I really won't have time for these observations anymore.
Timmy posts at 10:23 a.m. Would that be from school? I'm not judging because I'm at work...just saying...
Yeah, rogerspark60645, I was in school. I was in computer class and the comment was said after I finshed my school work for that class.
This comment is also at school. I'm in the school library. It's a free period (just for today).
"I don't feel as if I wished anything terrible on you. All I said was to fall off a bar stool. I wasn't wishing that you hurt yourself. I was just hoping you couldn't type your hate towards me."
Timmy: Only thing worse than a hater is a hater in denial that he's a hater.
Late response...
BJ you're an adult (well, in some ways I guess), you're supposed to be able to take it. Timmy's a high school kid. Somehow, consistently picking on a kid is a punk move.
What's the matter, making up for all the times you had your lunch money stolen in first period?
...And then you wonder why I hate on you, billyjoe. Oh, and I'm not a hater. Not unless if I'm hated on first.
Holy shit I am still processing what paradise just posted. Spaghetti sauce and menstration all in one post. Oh my.
Makes me want to head over to Leonas for some grub.
The Truth About Timmy: His posts are b-o-r-i-n-g.
yes. And so are billyjoe's.
Can't say my posts are boring in the least. They rile plenty of people, especially Timmy.
M BIG: In the future, try to write something original, unlike your boring attempt at insulting me.
And here's the truth about you, billyjoe: You have no life. Get one.
Timmy: You meant, "Stop goofing off."
No, I didn't, billyjoe. Sorry.

And this was just on this one topic.
Can you imagine the number of hours Billy boy lurks viewing back blog comments on other topics?
Hey, Billy Joe. Really, you need to get out of the basement once-an-awhile. Go do some goofing off. It's fun.
"Hey, Billy Joe. Really, you need to get out of the basement once-an-awhile. Go do some goofing off. It's fun."
Ha. Look who's talking. Another case of the pot calling the kettle "black." And please don't discount the many hits and new readers my commentary brings to your site.
Certainly my comments are way more interesting and provocative than Timmy's columns about "goofing off."
Don't know about "interesting" but "provoctative." A guy sh*tting on himself on a train is "provocative" in that it gets people talking, so yeah, I guess you could say you're provocative.
But interesting....?
Craig's right, billyjoe. Goofing off is fun, at least in some cases.
And you're right, look who's talking. You say I'M in denial, but I think YOU'RE the one in it. Hell, you think your comments are interesting?! Puleeeease! If I really wanted a laugh, I'd go watch a comedy show on TV, or hang out with my friends.
MOTS, I can't agree with you more. You're right.
For the record, I'm going out dirt-bike racing (goofing off) with my nephew this weekend in West Virginia.
You certainly are a character, billyjoe.

Lil' Timmy . . . every time you respond to one of my posts is confirmation that Im obviously more interesting than you hanging with your friends or watching a comedy show.
