Fair Bus Derby 06

So I went to the fair again. With the rain I took things inside and did walk through the rain. I never did get a fried dough but I did get to see some animals and take pictures that you can see down below. I did put up a lot of pictures but these aren't the only ones I took. I think I would have just stayed home If I wasn't going to the derby. One thing that was to bad about the rain was that the parade was Cancelled that meant I didn't get to see all the Clydesdales but I did get pictures of some of them and the Donkey from the Bud adds. I also saw other horses also. You may notice the Elvis Hot Sauce that was to good not to take a picture. The place setting where in the creative arts building. The carved out tree was preaty cool to, not sure if the pictures do it justice or not. hope you all enjoy the pictures.

That is a praying mantis on the seat at the bus Derby. It did wind up crawling up me. The odd thing is you or at least I couldn't feal it. Not sure really how many and what pictures to put up once the derby starts hopefull I put up enough to give a general sense of it with out them being to many and boaring. I don't think the carnage and damage really shows up in pictures and of course there is no crashing sound. Yes granted maybe I should have put this up a few pictures earlier but now is good enough. I saw the Fix the Logo bus from a far and thought thats awesome. I think my favorite was the #16 Sabres Bus, yeah it dosn't really say his name on it nor did he drive it but it is great looking.

On thing I maybe should have explained is that the buses goes in heats. The last two buses running in each heat advance to the finals. There is a last chance heat for all the buses who didn't make it but can still move. All in all it is preaty fun to watch.
#23 won in the end, they also had a best in show at the begining that the fans voted on but not sure who won that I think it was the #16 bus.

Paris Hilton

I will admit I did hear what ever her song is on the radio. This is going to sound weird but it wasn't that bad. It might have been on Wild 101 or maybe Kiss 98.5 not sure. I will admit it isn't my type of music but it soundend like you typical KISS pop song not really any better or worse. Then I was fliping chanels and saw a little bit on her I would say on mtv and belive it or not she wrote her own songs, I almost shit my self no body in pop music writes there own songs anymore, well she at least wrote one of them not sure if she wrote all of them. I guess there is another Simple Life reality show on some station also. I opened up playboy and saw Her, no wait it isn't really her it is the "fake" Paris Hilton who looks just like her. Yeah I admit I have a copy of her DVD a night in paris. It is ok but not graffic enoungh it is kinda hard to get those graffic shots as you film your self. Why am I writing about Paris when I think Nicole Ritchie is hotter I have no idea, plus she seems more down to earth. Maybe it has something to do with someone saying something saying people are using dogs as an accesory.

Frantic

I Admit I havn't had really anything journal worthy to say. I did change my Journal Music to Frantic By Metallica. There are a few concerts I do want to go to but I forget when they are. Hope it is nice Saturday for the Bus Derby at the fair. There will most likely be some pics of it going up sometime on sunday. It is odd that I have more to say in comments than in actually journals. On TV thing I belive on Monday Prision Break starts up again.

The Fair pictures

Below are a bunch (not all of the pictures I took) of pictures from the fair. I had a good time there is a lot to see, it all depends on what you are interested in. They have this new little santas village that was kinda interesting. As I was walking along I heard this little kid going nuts. He couldn't understand how Santa was here and how far ahead or behind he was. The kid was thinking about it so rationaly and really getting up set. That brings me to my next point as I was walking later on Santa went by on his sled being pulled by raindear wish I could have snaped a picture of that it would have been cool then on the other side of me someone was walking a cow I'm verry glad I didn't get smooched. My next thought as I was walking is what happens if your cow decides not to walk. What if it just decides to be stuborn you can't drag it along like you can with a dog.

I really enjoyed the Peeking Acrobats, they always give a great show. I also enjoyed all the kings horses. The pictures really don't do it justice. Some of the horses walk back wards, in circles, backwards and to the side and can bow. I liked it but a lot of people didn't stay for the entire show. You can't tell it the picture of the minuture but some of the rides move. There where a lot of pieces laid out on other tables that is one of those things you have to see in person. They had some cool things being sold by vendors also. I bought this cool dolphin picture where the dolphin is raised. I'm not really a ride person but they seem to have a lot of them.

going to fair updated

Well the plan for sat. Is to go down to tops and get my money back from the Seether Concert that got canceled. Then get a ticket for the fair head downtown and find catch that bus out there. I also want to get a ticket for the Bus Demoliton Derby event it was fun last year. If i see the muchcin from Oz maybe I can buy something and have him sign it. My only real plan is to try and have fun. I'm tempted to bring a back pack if I can find one so if I want I can buy stuff. I do know I want to see the Peeking acrobats they are preaty entertaining to watch.

Here now watching the bills surfing on the time warner booth for a few minutes. Having fun saw some really cool stuff. hopefully pictures on sunday.

weird computer

I wan't going to post today, but my computer is acting strange. I like using Yahoo Mesanger, but there are still a lot of things I need to learn and remember how to do. Since I downloaded it I get this strange message about a problem IE if you chose to send and error report it closes the window you are working in and if you don't send one you can keep working, verry odd. So I reset my computer hoping that might help things, it dosn't happen as often but it still happens. But then I log on here with firefox and now the banners are back, that is interesting. The last time they came back it was only for a day. Hopefully I'll keep being able to see them. I did have a nice chat with (e:thecarrey) last night on IM just wanted to say thanks with the help. I still feal as if I'm forgetting something, oh well.

Buffalo should be and some ideas

Today I was reading a story in the Buffalo News about the new downtown Casino and one of the reasons that it is bad is because Buffalo isn't a tourist town. And I started think well it should be. We Have a NHL Hockey team, NFL Football, Niagara Falls, and sord of a six flags. I think all we need to really do is to get a great waterfront and we maybe on our way. But Buliding on the waterfront should have expandend further then it has years ago. Hopefully Bass Pro and all these plans come to gather to make a greater Buffalo and one that people from other cities would like to Visit. Sheas always has a great broadway series and for some people who don't want to go all the way to New York maybe that can draw some more people in. But that got me thinking about both Toronto and Cleveland and they both have things to draw people there Like the CN Tower and Hockey Hall of fame or the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. But one other thing they have in common is there street signs let you know what district or part of the city you are in. That has started in Buffalo a littel bit with those A's on the allentown signs. I think it would be really nice to do something like that in all of Buffalo. I know we do get some tourism hear but not as much as we could.

Fair

The Fair starts this week I think on thurdsday not sure. I hope the weather is nice on Saturday cause I will be there. They really do have a lot of interesting shows. It is also a great place to shop belive it or not with all those venders. I think my concert got cancelled though wich sucks. I have to find out if it did if there is anyway to get a refund on it. This post was going to be a joke post for Carrey or a great post for her cats I was going to put up Kitty Porn pics. But then I realised that would mean I would have to save them to my computer and I really don't want them on a computer that isn't really mine. I also had a nice short walk down elmwood after work to the bank, the weather out was amazing out it really was. Ok that is the end of my boring post.

Trolly

I admit they are not the best pictures but I think the pictures I took on the trolly are ok. It drives like a bus and has a place you pay like a bus and a handicap or wheelchair entrance/exit. It dosn't have a bell. But it is made up inside of wooden benchs and looks old fashioned hope you enjoyed the pics up above.

NFL and various thoughts

First of all there are a few (e:peeps) that when they are on line I usaly feal like there is something I want to ask them or say but can't think of what it is, sorry, I don't want yall to think I'm rude.

I have been enjoying watching the X Games (lots of differant events this weekend)).

I see Time Warner has been forced into keeping the NFL network on for at least 30 days. Apparntly they didn't warn customers that it was going off the air with the switch over. I hope they work out a deal cause it is good network. Today I saw some of John Maddens induction to the Hall of fame, he is an interesting guy. That reminds me NFL network not sure when is showing some presason games and scrimiges I couldn't really care about the scrimages. However Sunday night is the Hall Of Fame game I belive it is the Raiders Vs. The Eagles it will be Maddens first game on Chanel 2 NBC, should be interesting to see some of it.

I saw Talegdaga Nights with Will Farell today. I thought it was good. It is preaty much what the preview shows you. I don't want to say anymore cause I might give something away, but I enjoyed it. On the way home catching the bus I got the trolly bus. It is small but preaty cool wood seats and and wood ceiling it was preaty interesting.

Yahoo News. You can wind up spending a lot of time on there news site. After each news story you can discuss the article. It is a message board. You could really spend a lot of time there if you wanted or you can just post your view and leave it at that. The one thing that I think they should add is that anyone who is logged in would get a message in there in box when someone replys to your message. On some topics there are so many posts that someone could reply and you would never know.
