This Boring Life Ep.9: Oak Lawn Illinois. My Life Before California

Hey kids! This week we have a little something different. An All New Episode of.. This Boring Life, where every episode we will explore The Secret Origin Of IseeRobots. One Topic At A Time. The topic for this episode? My early days as a young sprat in the great state of Illinois.

On this episode we take a look at my elementary school, Harnew, stores we used to shop at, things I used to do and all sorts of stuff like that.

This was really fun for me to record once I started the memories really started to flow. I don't think about Illinois that much but once I did, MAN! The thoughts started coming. I didn't realize how much those early days turned me into the person I am today until I started looking back.
