snow ninja!

yeah, i ride the bus.
our buses are'nt too bad. generally on time and reliable.
saturday's snow storm did not prevet the buses from running. they were just a little backed up is all.
my stop in depew to head back home is on the corner of walden and transit, with no shelter. saturdays at 6 when i leave everybody is closed so there is no where to wait indoors to catch the bus. of course, if i'm not at the stop it blows by w/ out even hesitating due to the continously high volume of traffic at this, one of western new yorks most dangerous of intersections.
thus, i had no choice but to become a ninja!

6:15pm 2/3/07. still inside


image
6:30is 2/3/07 after 15mins on the corner


image
7pm 2/3/07 bus is now 30mins late. it came @ 10 after 7.

full blown snow ninja!

i hate winter.

yes yes, here we go!

well ok, i've heard about this place and been checking it out over the last few days. vycious got me started, then when i saw threadbare was on here it was all over. i just want to be cool like drow!
and, like it or not, i'm a blogger. i've been blogging more lately on my myspace page, but it does seem to make more sense to do it on a page designed for it. there certianly seem to be a lot of bells and whistles on here.
plus another reason to take pictures of myself!
so here goes indeed:

hi!
phew, well that was relatively out going of me.
i'm christopher. most people call me knife though. really the only people who call me christopher anymore are my parents and my customers. technically i do not live in the elmwood village, which in my mind is not a village at all but a classy city area stuck between some nasty outlying areas. i live in allentown, which i wish upon your worst enemies and exlovers only. i hate allentown very much. i rarely even drink there although i do exercise the convienence of towne resturant frequently.
let's see, what else.....
my post high school education has been prodominantly independent. i'm huge gigantic history nerd and i read all the time so i do consider myself smarter than the average bear. did a small stitch of time in the air force. my longest relationship was actually an affair with a taken then engaged then married girl who was really really evil and made me almost completely destroy myself. luckily, i like to think i have learned from that mistake and in turn was forgiven not only by (most) my friends but also by her now ex husband mr. us army langer, whom some of you may know.
i am an area rug salesman by day, blending in with yuppies and their cronies in the burbs. mostly i am wasting my life by being here (like today is saturday, it's 2:03 pm, my only coworker is family to the boss so she left for the day already, we have no customers because buffalonians are cheap ass bastards and i am trapped here until 6:30, no sales = no $$$)
well shit, what else.......
presently single and quite frankly not on the prowl so BACK OFF LADIES! my last few relationship attempts were disasters in one form or another and i'm sick to death of the game so if something happens it happens, if not, well, the dude abides.
as far as other stuff, well, more in due time i suppose. i like stuff as well as things and am looking forward to what ever the hell this does or however it works and some such nonsense.
how the hell do you work the spell checker?
