Miller Sabres Turkey trot

First of all for you skiers out there I thought I would remind you that at sheas they are having a showing of Warren Miller's newest movie, it was a lot of fun going to see one last year. I think it is Nov 29th.

The night before Thanksgiving I'm going to the Sabres game. It should be a good time, I would love to see them Beat Ottawa. I'm not sure if they are good enough to but it will still be a good time. I'm thinking after the game I might go check out Club Diablo they are having some kind of Party for Art And Body it is a Tattoo shop. Then early Thanksgiving I have to wake up and take pictures of the sis since she will run in the turkey trot. She wants me to but there is no way I can I'm not in good enough shape to.

Then on the 25th I'm going to TSO that will be a good time, they allways are. Then A week after the Ottawa Sabres game I'm going to see them play the St. Louis Blues that is the day before the Snowboarding movie.

I hope everyone has a nice long weekend and enjoys thanksgiving mine will be watching Football and relaxing after I wake up early.

Is Global Warming good for the earth?

Most of the time in movies they use this one type of monkey I think in Baseball they call it a rally monkey and it is cute and adorable so it gets away with doing bad deads. The most recent movie I saw this in was National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2. They are on a cruise and as in most of those movies there was a bunch of hot young things in the nude. But that wasn't what I was writing about. I thought monkey's stealing stuff was bullshit well untill I saw this article on Yahoo's new page today.


Thieving monkeys 'out of control' in northeast India
--> BEGIN STORY BODY -->

Sat Nov 17, 3:08 AM ET
--> end storyhdr -->

GUWAHATI, India (AFP) - Troupes of monkeys are out of control in India's northeast, stealing mobile phones and breaking into homes to steal soft drinks from refrigerators, lawmakers in the region have complained.

"Monkeys are wreaking havoc in my constituency by taking away mobile phones, toothpastes, sipping coke after opening the refrigerators," Hiren Das told Assam state's assembly.

He said the primates were "even slapping women who try to chase them".

"It is a cause of serious concern in my area, with more than 1,000 such simians turning aggressive by the day," fumed Goneswar Das, another legislator representing Raha in eastern Assam.

Assam's wildlife minister, Rockybul Hussain, said the state government has formed a panel to study the problem.

Because of shrinking forest cover, monkeys have increasingly moved into cities elsewhere in India as well.

Last week, around two dozen people were hurt after monkeys rampaged through a New Delhi neighbourhood.

Last month, the deputy mayor of Delhi died when he fell from his balcony after being attacked by monkeys.

Efforts to drive out the animals is complicated by the fact that devout Hindus view them as an incarnation of Hanuman, the monkey god who symbolises strength.



If you go to yahoos page above maybe they have more information.

Well above is where the journal stopped on myspace but then I thought some more. I didn't mean to think this was just going to be a piece of news. But then I remembered about another thing in India about how the Elephants would find that wine and get drunk and go on a rampage. Not because they are mean but because they get drunk. I wonder if they really like just the taste or if they prefer the getting drunk part, maybe someone could do a study on that for one of those nature channels.

The reason for these troubles and others like deer in Amherst , or mountain lions or bears eating people is that Habitats for animals are getting smaller. If you believe in creation or evolution it doesn't matter they where hear before we where so we are moving into their space not the other way around. Some would argue that we are better then they are so it is there lose, not a bad point really. But what those people forget about is that there is a balance in nature. Mankind has been throwing things out of balance for a long time. Making the air and water dirty over all is the biggest one. But as more trees and rain forests get cut down then we don't even have the things that in nature can get rid of the carbon monoxside (sp? whats new). I won't get into the fact that most of us eat more then we need to and have done things like shot Buffalo for sport and not even use the meat or skin for anything. There are places (yes I want to visit them) like China and Japan that are very overcrowded. Humans are slowly killing the earth. Some people might say we are not causing global warming. They have a right to that thought. Even if we aren't that doesn't make my point any less.

Global warming is good for the earth. It just isn't good for humans. I will admit that I don't have the science background to know what will happen in theory. I don't think the science people really do. We know that if the ice caps melt then they will turn into water in some form. No one really knows how much the water will rise. First of all when water expands when it frezes. secondly how much of that ice will evaporate and turn into rain and where will it rain. How will the changing water temps effect the weather. You can make all kinds of gueses and use science but that is all they are. But what we can assume is that water levels will rise and some land will be lost my Cali maybe it will be greenland, Japan or Texas. But what I assume is that there will be a loss of life and land that is very high. Maps will have to be re drawn. Who knows maybe the change in climate will cause the us to be a lot smaller and it will rain regularly in places known as deserts. But what I'm pretty sure about is that the earth will at some point will re balance the equation. I just hope that the people who live through it and smart enough to record everything and learn from man kinds mistakes. Hey but maybe global warming is just a way for people to make us fear and then control us economicly, wouldn't be the first time.

Beowulf

So today I went to the first showing of Beowulf. Lets get to the important stuff first the nudity. Both Beowulf and just blanked on Aglenia Jolie's role. The good and the bad news for some and the other way for others is that: Beowulf is naked but there are no dick shots. They do like how they did in Austin Powers (but not in jest) where they had someone head or elbow blocking the shot. The fighting scenes move to fast for you to see anything as he flips but I'm guessing it was shot so that when it comes out on dvd you wouldn't be able to see anything either. Now Angelina on the other hand wow her boobs look good they are really amazing. I'm not used to seeing that ones that good unless I'm watching a movie at home by myself. Yes some of them where kinda covered in gold but they are amazing and they did have front shots. Now to the rest of the movie not that I can concentrate on it anymore. I like that there was a lot of action and still a very good story. I don't know how they do the art of it. I know that the actors at least act all the stuff out and do the motions. I don't know if they film them and then put the art over them or draw them out. However they do it it look very realistic and there is a lot of depth in all the scenes. I can't imagine how cool it would look in 3D or on and IMAX screen. The other thing I'm not sure of is if things where filmed the same for both versions or if things are added to the 3D film version or if it was filmed so with glasses the film is enhanced. In any event I really enjoyed it and had a great time.


I Just wanted to ad that the above link or line of text for anyone who is interested should lead to my webshots page I put up most of my city hall and downtown pictures and put up the Halloween pictures up and they should be in order as well.

City Hall Medical Campus

So when I saw this picture on the art voice I picked Up it reminded me of (e:ladycroft) and then it also reminded me of a couple (e:strip) parties very quickly. For some of you newer peeps you might not really have an idea why but there will be things for some of you a little further down in this post.


image

So today I went to the DMV to renew my non drivers ID and after that I went to city hall and Froze. The reason I froze was that I went up to the observation deck and I think my hand went numb. These are not all the pictures I took. I"m not sure how they will look on here and how much detail the small building will have but here goes.

So as I'm on my way to "the medical Campus" area I got to have a fun time about 20 feet from Hyatt's. Out of no where someone calls to me. They ask me "If I'm all right" i say "i'm good" if you don't know the lingo he was asking if I want drugs. But then is where I lost the guy on lingo. He said something about him being a "Pill Popper" I don't remember what I said exactly but then he followed that up with "I'm not a pill popper either". Again very strange. Well here are some pictures from around that area (again not in exact order)

Afterwards I thought about going to the Anchor bar but didn't feel like it. One of these pictures is to show a church and a certain house some of you should know. I didn't know that stuff that grows on houses turned color I thought it was allways green I guess I was wrong.

Hopefully everyone has a great weekend. With the holidays and lots of things coming up this might be the last crazy weekend so everyone should enjoy it. Hopefully I will see Baowolf on sat. I do have a question in High School we read a story of the same name. All I remember is that it was written in really old and really hard to understand old english and only our teacher understood what was going on, is there any connection between that story and this movie? oh yeah and the graphics look amazing also.

Best TV shows kinda

I'm not saying that I watch to much TV or not enough. I'm not saying that there is written in stone. I'm not saying there are really 10 top shows. I'm not including sports or sports related shows. I the writers strike might effect when these shows are on, oh yeah I'm also not counting "Adult Swim"

Best 10 TV shows:
1. 24
2. Heroes
3. House
4. Pushing Daises
5. Miami ink , LA ink, Tattoo wars and looking forward to London Ink
6. A shot at love with Tila Tequila
7. Bones
8. South Park
9. Prison Break
10. Journeyman
11. The Simpsons and Family Guy
12. Weed and Californication
13. Reel Sex and any other sex series on HBO
14. Boston Legal (yeah it and 6 should maybe be flipped but oh well)

I am also looking forward to see the new Terminator TV show. Not sure what it will be about other then it is called the Sarah Connor chronicals so I think it might be more of a spin-off on the movies.

Weekend Movies Potpurri Sabres

This weekend I saw 3 good movies 2 of them had some strange sexual dynamics in them. I had all ready seen "Curse of the Golden Flower" at the movies but I watched in on starz in demand yesterday. It was still just as good. But I do have to admit with the bright colors and all the high action you do lose a lot of that to the TV. Maybe if I had a huge HD or plasma then maybe you wouldn't lose of the dramatic look. I like that there is a lot of fighting and not that Disney ending. I also watched "The Dreamers" . Yes it does take some time for the sex to get into the movie but the sex is a little bit out there but it kinda eludes to something that isn't there. It takes place in France in the late 60's and (stuff I have never heard about) some place and the movies being shut down all in all a good Indiie Movie. I know I'm way behind but I just saw the Departed on HBO this weekend. I thought it was very good.

Sabres wise they have made more "Winter Classic" Seats available. You can also buy "official" merchandise now. I could spend about $500. (e:drew) may agree or disagree with me on this since I'm not sure if you are a Hockey Fan or not but I want that Blue Crosby Jersey and I think $200 is a lot but it isn't as much as I thought it would be. I haven't seen the tie up Sabres Jersey's yet all they have is Vanek and if I get a sabres one it has to be Miller.

I thought I would share a few pictures from my trips on Elmwood. First of all yes it is the holiday season all ready even if you don't want it to be.

I'm not sure if you can tell in the pictures but by Globe Market there is a black guy playing guitar and I guess you can give him money. If that is who I think it is again he has a rebel jacket on. I wish I where brave cause that could be a very interesting conversation.

I hope the Sabres can start wining some games. I want that Winter classic to be a great game.

Halloween and various stuff

On Sunday the Simpsons had the ofical end of Halloween with their tree house of horror show. They did a take of On e.t. with an evil alien from the show, Mr. and Mrs. Smith (very cool), and Hell House. I have never seen Hell House they called it Heck House hey Flanders can't swear so here are some shots I got from the episode.

I admit that I do like cats but they are very strange animals in some ways. For example they don't like water and running water they hate but yet they will go in tubs, sinks, or bassins but the water comes on and they take off. That being said please don't ever kiss a cat you don't know where they have been. As an example not only dogs do this.

My mother and sister are at the mall I can't get into Christmas shopping yet so here are some pictures that kinda show the fall.

I guess my final thought is that I'm glad Miami Ink is back on starting to night and in the line up they also have an episode of LA ink worked in. But why is that that it seems that on TV there is either nothing I want to watch or a bunch of shows in conflict Tuesday is good for that, thankfully they repeat some of them.

Gangster Flowers Tattoos



THE PICTURES BELOW ARE NOT MINE I Found them ONLINE

I was trying to find pictures from LA INK on TLC. I liked it but not as much as Miami INK. That being Said Kat Von D is amazing and I love her work also. Miami ink restarts on Tuesday night and it should be pretty cool. But there is this other show that is even better to me but that I don't think to many people know about called Tattoo Wars it is on Thursdays at 8pm on TLC. The basics is that at Tattoo conventions two people do a tattoo and see who the people likes better. I know it sounds like it could never take an hour up but that is not correct. They tell about the artists and show other work they have done and how they prepare. Last week was pretty cool these guys both did a sleve on the same guy then finished up on the inner arms at the same time.

The new user picture I have been meaning to do for some time. I mainly think that it is cool that a flower grows up through cement like that. Yeah grass does and so do weeds but how often does a flower. It says something about perserverance (how ever you spell it) and strength and determination so I'll leave it up for now.

I saw two movies yesterday with Common (aka common sense but some other person had that name so he had to change it to common). Smokin Aces was pretty cool action movie and very short also. American Gangster was better though, yes kinda long. I admit that there was a lot more story then I thought there was going to be. Yes there was some good shotting and fighting. Oh yeah and in the nudity part there where lovely Black, Asian, and I think even white boobs in a scene. I thought it was very good.

Club Owner drug bust?

This article was in today's Buffalo News. It is about the owner of Club Diablo and how he was busted for weed. The thing that is odd is that I would think that when it first happened I would have heard about it. In any event it is kinda interesting.



The Buffalo News : City & Region

Thursday, November 1, 2007




Jesse S. Zuefle, owner of Club Diablo on Washington Street, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a reduced felony charge in connection with last spring's seizure of 42 pounds of marijuana in the attic of the rental property he owned next door to his Richmond Avenue home.

In return for the plea, prosecutors ordered Zuefle, 36, to turn over cash seized in the raid to the federal and state authorities, along with a vehicle used in his marijuana business and the three-story building where the drugs were found.

Zuefle has been free on bail since the May 10 raid by the Erie County district attorney's office, the State Police and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He pleaded guilty before State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia to first-degree attempted criminal possession of marijuana.

Zuefle is free on $10,000 bail pending his Jan. 4 sentencing.

Initially charged with first-degree criminal possession of marijuana - which carries a possible state prison term of up to 5z years - Zuefle now faces a sentence ranging from probation to 2z years in prison.

After the plea proceedings, narcotics prosecutor Glenn Pincus of the district attorney's office said authorities seized $150,000 in cash plus the marijuana and drug scales.

Under the plea deal, the cash, the property that was "the basis of his marijuana operation" and a Chevrolet TrailBlazer he used in the marijuana business will be turned over to and shared by the state and federal governments, Pincus said.

The raid was the result of a yearlong investigation by the three agencies, Pincus said.

Zuefle was allowed to plead guilty to a lesser felony charge because of his agreement on the confiscation of the cash and property, which have a combined value of about $250,000, and his previously clean record, Pincus said. His ownership of Club Diablo was not a part of the case.

U.S. Attorney Terrance P. Flynn said the seizure of Zuefle's property "should send a strong message to those individuals who believe that trafficking in marijuana is not a serious problem."

"Not only will this forfeiture action remove the money Zuefle made from his illegal business, but it also addresses the concern of his Richmond Avenue neighbors that should not have to be forced to live near an apartment building that was used as an illegal distribution center," Flynn said.

Flynn said a federal forfeiture complaint is now before U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.
