[majorposiden]

from chicago with love

[babysenchy123]

i went to chicago once but it was reli boring

[GloomySunset]

CHICAGO PWNS

[berryconnell]

well, that was cool.

The big shiny thing, too. Haven't been up here (Chi) in a long time, but, am so in love with the art institute and its collection!

However, as I'm a mere 135 mile south of there, I'll drive.

Hate planes.

Hate planes almost as much as sharks!

But, sharks REALLY hate planes.

Just read the notes on the right side of screen and this is my response

About being alone this is something most of us need to get used to relationships take a lot of work and people have gotten lazy it's so much easer to just call it quits when things get rough the 2000 census determined that for the first time in US history less than 50% of American adults are married. And we all need positive attention/love which doesn't mean we are going to get it.

Best wishes Olivia to you and all of us.

[ArkBackPacker]

Nice Vid good music

[K80Blog]

It's so nice to see you again. I hope all is well. : )

[daveni2]

do you remember that movie

"Adventures of Babysitting"?

with Elizabeth Shoe. @ 2:58 I remember seeing that building in that movie, the one with the slanted roof behind that big blub of steel

[daveni2]

awesome, some how I missed this, sorry.

watching it now and it's great!

[carlkirby]

that kool i nver been there it look nice

[WallyMcNasty]

This whole video made me sad and happy at the same time. Reading the description I see what you're trying to do. But remember that this whole YouTube community is going to be there, whenever you need to take a break from the "real" world.

Also: When you showed that you saw that Seurat painting in person, I almost cried. You're a huge inspiration to my art whether you know it or not. I really hope you stick around cause you're one person I couldn't imagine YouTube without. Thanks.

[dianesmile8]

weird...i KNOW i commented on this video the other day...hmmmm...where did it go?

anyway, looks like you had a blast. so glad you finally got the video up :)

[DrWinstonBoogie]

So strange that almost all of my subscribtions were all busy at the same time and did make only a few videos like 1 or 2 since early april. Myself i'm more focusing on my job now than be on youtube and thinking of new videos to do and talking to my friends here. Seems that they all forget about me that makes sad a bit. Anyway So glad to hear from you again Olivia :)

[stupid4fame]

cool sounds like so much fun my wife hates traveling and stuff so ill never get off this island.

[oliviapeachcom]

lol, that's why sometimes this single thing ain't so bad, but you know it's allways nice to have someone to come home to

[kwohl]

hey i was wondering where you had been! why would someone on youtube want to hurt your feelings?! :( i mean you never say a mean thing about anyone! ..at least i don't think your the type :)

looks like you had a good trip and i hope you find what your looking for.

[oliviapeachcom]

yeah it wasn't really something someone said, it was somethng they did... long story, but I just don't really like fake people.

[amillionfaces]

Someone hurt your feelings?? ! Just say the word and I'll start busting knees!

It looks like you had a great time despite the flaking and whatnot. Hope it was fun!

[oliviapeachcom]

I had a great time thanks for watching girl, sent you a message via MS :)

Hugs

[NorCalCorsello]

Looks like you had a great time. I have two close friends that moved there several years back. I have been to Chicago four times! I've gone to the Art Institute every time I visit, and it never gets old. Good times. Fun city.

[oliviapeachcom]

Coool, Yeahit was a good museum, but I don't know if anything can beat the met.

[NorCalCorsello]

Have you been to Europe? Even museums not well known were surprisingly amazing! I went to a museum in Prague, that I hadn't even planned to go to, but some Italian skateboarders dragged me there. Besides collections of many artists you might expect to see: Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse (Some of them may have been touring, not really sure) they had an extremely impressive collection of Modern Art. Of course, they consider anything less than 200 years old or so to be modern. Maybe that's standard?

[ouREvilone]

hey chicago looks great! I read your description, Im sorry to hear whats going on.

Id ask but I dont want to pry. I hope things look up asap.

[oliviapeachcom]

YOu are sweet, just alot of stupid stuff with someone who I valued as a friend, and I just finally saw this person for who they really were, not what they portray themselves to be... I'm not a name dropper so I leave it at that. They know who they are and what they did.

[ouREvilone]

Thats definitely classy of you. I admire that.

[PDXvlog]

JP: Hehe, glad you got to see so much cool stuff! Maybe I shoulda come with. =D Haven't been to C-town in YEARS!

[oliviapeachcom]

Hey man sorry I have been MIA, trying to figure out July and see if I can make it to the gathering for a day :)

[philipsmovies]

"Lucky Girl" to get to visit Chicago,hope you had a great time.Excellent camera work.Try and forget about that nasty person who hurt your feelings and react in a positive way.

[positronicpathways]

That's one of my favorite songs

[britishsazzy]

I think the music was a good choice for the video, very nice.

[gotokenya]

I went to school right in the middle of downtown where you were, so watching your video was so nostalgic. I kept saying "I know that street! I know that one too!" I don't think a single day went by where I didn't go out and explore the town. I'm glad you had fun and stayed safe. I have a funny story about The Bean (mirror sculpture) that I'm gonna mail you cuz it's too long to post.

[oliviapeachcom]

HA I know I am going to be that way someday about NY< if i ever leave that is, and I'll be LIke I worked there! I ate there! fun to relive memories sometimes

[Larrymcphereson]

This was great! I'm going next month myself for a weekend! I know what you mean about You Tube too! This past week was one of the worst I've seen in terms of seriously bad energy and intent in some of the postings here. Of course the good thing about You Tube is the off beat friendships you can make here! LOL!

[oliviapeachcom]

Awe you should, if you need recommendations of places to go cheap eats let me know, I kinda just discovered stuff as I went along, it was cool just being alone, talking to strangers, checking out art.

[isatori]

Love the blog. Sounds like you had a blast.

[oliviapeachcom]

Hey Rob thank you for all the photo comments :) You're a real sweety. I did, It's weird I was actually really ok being by myself for once, it felt good, alot of clarity for me

[nolpi]

Traveling my one's self is plain awesome. That's how I did Ireland. Sure, you can't really party solo, but it's very meditative.

[oliviapeachcom]

i am considering LA next, I have some time in September, and might split up my vacation, cause I want to see my folks in ATL too. I had some aquaintances with this gallery so I did go out on Friday.

[oliviapeachcom]

Hey you, I called the other day :) I'll try again soon. Thanks for the props, yeah just needing some time I think.

[Arielrosemusic]

Yay! You made lemonade out of those lemons ;)

I unsubscribed from the lame dude who punked out on you...bleh!

Nice to see this video up...I like the way it starts and ends with the plane :)

[oliviapeachcom]

Awe, shucks, well you know I probably will too... I guess my mission through the tube is make real connections with people, and I am happy that I have done that, so one ain't nothing but a number to me anymore... I had a really great time, so it worked out for the best, and I learned once again the only one I can truly depend on in this life, is myself, don;t you know it? Big Hugs. Love you.

[OHTXAZ]

That Was So Very Cool. This Is What I Would Like To Do On A Vacation Someday. It Would Be Sooooo What My Huband Would Enjoy Doing. ;0)

Roberta

[oliviapeachcom]

Yeah I only did a weekender less expensive, and a good break from the daily grind :)

[thenudeartist]

awesome video

makes me wanna take a trip

[oliviapeachcom]

Trips are wonderful for the creative soul!

[FuturesPassed]

Around 2:10 there was a train thing up in the air... The scene from the first Spider-Man movie was shot in Chicago. Where you were walking may have been one of the locations!

Awesome pictures! The flight above the clouds footage was really cool! I hope your trip was safe!

[oliviapeachcom]

Really? Cool :) I'll have to rewatch that movie

[gstockton]

Sorry to hear you were ill. You are a survivor Olivia, you followed through on your plan and it turned out great! Way to go girlie. Between us yes. Looking forward to your next, but by all means, live that life.

[oliviapeachcom]

Thanks G, you are completely one of the people on here I will never regret knowing :)You are the eye of the storm. A voice of reason, thank you.

[xxjnk27xx]

yay, olivia, so glad to see a new video! it looks like you did a lot of good site-seeing! that big mirror sculpture thing was cool! hope you're doing well =)

~Jessica

ps- what is that song called?? I really liked it!

[oliviapeachcom]

Lucky Man, by Verve! I love it too, I think it just kinda captured this time in my life :)

[OHTXAZ]

I Think Anyone Who Gets To See Beyond Their "Neighborhood" Is A Very Lucky Person. ;0)

Roberta

[eshninerforest]

Dont let folks on youtube hurt your feelings. Your a bad ass remember that. :)

[oliviapeachcom]
