Middle age and Mark Zuckerberg has taken everyone, I guess. <br />

Despite all my mistakes I made in Buffalo I am glad to have participated in this online community.<br />

Do I lose all my Buffalo cool points for moving out of Buffalo, or do I get some honorable mention for moving to Youngstown Ohio and staying in the rust belt?<br />
<br />
I should probably write more about this later.<br />

I had to ditch North Buffalo, as much as I loved it, because the house I was living in was sold and I got a new Landlord who:<br />
<br />
- Sang/played Rock Band loundly (and badly) till 3AM every night.<br />
- Had friends who&#039;d try to plant cigarette bushes in my son&#039;s sandbox from their balcony<br />
- Decided that he wouldn&#039;t renew our lease. Probably so his cigarette-planting friends could move in.<br />
<br />
Not that we weren&#039;t already considering moving. I was faced with the reality that as much as I liked living in Buffalo, I had to move closer to my job in the Southtowns because almost two hours of my life every day was robbed from me during my commute.<br />
<br />
In a compromise between having to live in Orchard Park ($$$ and boring and closer) and Buffalo (cheap and interesting and far), I&#039;ve settled on South Buffalo (cheap and boring and close). I&#039;m trying to give it a chance, but right now there&#039;s not a lot I can say about South Buffalo other than the rents are cheap and it&#039;s closer to work. If you made half of the stores on Hertel vacant, and populated the other half with an alternating series of Pizza shops and Irish pubs, you&#039;d have Seneca St. Vacant store, Pizza &amp; wing shop, Irish pub, rinse, recycle, repeat.<br />
<br />
Crap, I should really go to bed. I guess I could catch a Guinness before last call.<br />

When I spot this string of characters appended to the end of a web address (URL for geeks), it&#039;s usually a four letter harbinger of &quot;this site&#039;s usability and functionality is gonna be sucktastic&quot;. If they appear on a site which is used for paying my bills online, it usually means I shouldn&#039;t even bother trying to pay my bills online, &#039;cause it ain&#039;t gonna work.<br />

I&#039;m looking for a tasteful gift for a housewarming party. Anyone know where in the Buffalo metropolitan area one can find a classic pink flamingo <a class="blank"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Plastic_flamingo&amp;go=Go"  title="click to search wikipedia for Plastic_flamingo" >(WIKIPEDIA - Plastic_flamingo)</a>,<br />
