It is not like it used to be.

I usually would wake up arond 6:30 on a school day, but in the summer I would sleep for hours. My phone alarm usually woke me up around 2 P.M. Usually to an Ensiferum song. If it were a Friday I would roll out of bed a little earlier fir Ska practice. As I walk out the door, I notice that my neighborhood is not blossoming with youth as it once was. Everywhere you looked in the 90s, there were kids running through the sprinkler or having a squirtgun fight. I'ts not like that anymore. Walking down Wedgewood Drive, there are no kids outside. My neighborhood has pretty big houses, not nearly as large as some today, but pretty large. Streets are not covered by trees because my neighborhood is relativly new. Sometimes I got in my car and went for a cruiz. Down Modaff to Washington street. Downtown Naperville is a pretty popular place to go, expecially for the youth. I park my car and get out. There are many large chane restaraunts and shops. I really wish the shops were more 'mom and pop" like. Sometimes I go downtown with my friends and make fun of the middle aged, divorced, woman. They are out usually on Friday nights. I love Naperville but there are a lot of jerks taht live here that give it a bad name.
