Shrek The Musical
What is the Distance from Grand Central Station to Times Square?
(Blocks or in minutes walking, on a first visit don't want to try and learn the subway and wind up in Red Hook or the South Bronx)
Also What is the Distance from Grand Central Station to Broadway?
I'm thinking of not sure if it will happen to go by train and just explore for a day or go see what I can find.... Flying seems crazy cause that means I have to an airport and do the security thing and the pat down thing and get an x ray and even with the x ray take everything out of pockets then fly to NYC then from there find a way into the city and then after all that repeat that in reverse no thanks..........
Now The reason I mention the NYC thing is that it is important to this musical... I have never seen the Disney ones like The Little Mermaid or The Lion King (by the way Disney borrowed that story for those that don't know) So I don't know if some of things I saw where a mockery of them or just because of my where I was sitting.... Here are the two examples.... There is this Big Dragon and you can see the people in black out fits working it..... Yes there was some smoke but not enough to cover them up.... My first thought was well I bet from far back you can't see them in the lighting I bet in the balcony they are hidden.... Now as you back up the seats go up and from where I was there was this effect where a screen comes down and the people's feet are rats. I could see their legs.... So I wonder are these things that are bashing Disney and big musicals or is that they are made for people in the center to see only really....
What I liked about the Shrek Movies and it holds true here is how they Bash Fairy Tales and they do a great Job here doing it as well yes the lion king gets dissed. To be clear there aren't really any songs in Shrek the movie but the songs in the Musical are great and funny... Now that being said a lot of the Sexual jokes aimed at adults aren't in the Musical but that is ok Not sure if they would fit really... Now that being Said My Favorite part was Donkey he was great and I loved how he sang and talked kinda reminded me of Corey Glover I think from Living Colour singing wise... An it isn't just cause he was black... Then they do this big song at the end of the play after the standing o and Confetti rains down it is great... Is It a bit over the top Sure but all Musicals are.... Hey how can you not like a musical that is a love story and kinda a fairy tale that mocks fairy tales and is funny.... It was a great time now for some pictures (oh pictures of the performance are strictly prohibited so I didn't take any but this is before and after and the Journey)........

Time and a few thoughts
I really do need more time with waking up and going to work and coming home it feels like a long day every day.... Not sure if it really is.... What I think this is leading to is that I will go and get my own computer when I get my taxes back. Yeah I over paid a bit at H&R block but the thing is no place does the state for free so If I was going to pay I might as well pay and not do any work then pay and still have to try and figure those things out.. I took all kinds of math in school and doing the state taxes is almost at that level...... See If I have my own computer I can do things like post photos here and download them and upload them as I watch a show... Now an action movie or show that would be out since the action you need to see..... I could even do stuff on breaks....
I don't like to mention work but it has been stressing me out lately maybe that is part of the reason I feel as though I have no time... Or maybe I just need a "Happy Ending Message "... Quickly I hate that I can't spell worth shit that is the wrong word but you all know what I mean (assuming anyone is reading this)... But I don't think it is really the time issue I think well I know I have some anger issues and some dealing with people issues.... But yet for some reason none of you (e:peeps) make me upset maybe it is an amount of time thing.... I think I might have PTSD.............
My thoughts on PTSD have changed a bit lately. At first I thought it is the military's fault for not training people the right way. But as I thought more that isn't true. What I think happens is that when you are in a war zone your body adapts you could even use the word evolves. Some where along the way you learn or maybe it is instinct like an animal that hunts and you learn to watch for things that are warnings or could lead to danger... It could be things like watching your shadow walking home, listening to all the sounds, when you see a person gaging if they are walking towards or away from you (blocks away)... But see I don't think this is a Disorder I think it is a way to survive... In the case of people in the military the problem is that they are no longer in a war zone (unless they live in a bad part of the city) ..... Yes there are other effects like loud noises freak them out again in a war zone that might be ok but a in a city where cars back fire all the time it can be a problem... But again The problem isn't with them it is that the environment doesn't match with them.... I do think that people who have it bad should be helped my the Military so that if they want to go and fight they can or so that they can work a normal job or what ever....
In my case: At work I'm all ways looking around seeing what is going on. But part of that is that I don't just do one thing. I need to access the situation. If the guy filling the line is running low I need to pick orders if that person has the line full then I need to help box... Once my boxes are backed up I need to send them through.... Sometimes the line orders are less important then the truck orders so I need to look and see what the stack looks like. Every time that door opens it could be someone bringing out more orders if it is what kind of orders are they and what does that mean for what I need to do... So maybe if that is PTSD it is a good thing to have at work or maybe it just seems like some of the same things.... Walking at night is all ways a blast..... But you know what is wild I could walk the streets of Toronto with 7 gangs and I bet I would feel safe something about those streets make you feel that way... But Buffalo you had better be ready to fight or run... Ok even during the day I'm often accessing the situation (not the guy from that Jersey show I've never seen).......... Not to mention in winter I have to look and see if there is ice to walk on .....
The Last two days I've taken the #22 home and that is kinda weird going past the Pilgrim Village... I used to be over that way all the time... It is also weird to see all the new stuff on City Honors and there is some huge building being built behind "The Village" that is kinda odd.....
Yesterday on Facebook I saw that for only $1200 a month there is an apartment above Club Diablo.... Wish I could swing that, it would be perfect.... Granted I think everything is included.... I would love to live downtown I would be right at Diablo and near the arena and the square and not to far from the waterfront it would be awesome but of course moving would blow hard. Why is that we use that as a bad term getting blown is great and often a key part to great sex......
All in all I am happy being single doing what a want to do and not being bitched at and not having to go yoga or some activity and then making someone else go to something they don't want to go to..... That being said I'm not anti Yoga... A cousin of mine was in a class for some time and really liked it.... But on the other hand finding a nice "Pin Up" girl who isn't controlling would be cool.... Again I like being single but after some time I think one starts to lose ones mind a bit...........
I had some other point or something I wanted to get to but it got lost in here someplace......

Warm Spring/winter?
So these last few days have been odd to say it has been warm would be wrong but to say it is warm compared to what we have would be correct... Snow and Ice Is melting and when I have been walking it feels like St. Patrick's Day... Well the truth is there have been many times when it has been like a Frozen Tundra watching that Parade.... Not sure if i Did it right but I copy the address at the bottom of two Posts from last year... Of course I have no idea what will go down this year or what date the parade is but I'm sure many people will enjoy it... It is hard to explain the feeling in the air of St. Patrick's day though.......

V day Vs. BJ Day
Now what I wonder is there a way to connect the holidays.... Don't get me wrong I don't like the idea of Valentine's day that you are obligated to do something the bigger the thing is or more costly then the more you love (or want to do something really dirty and kinky with them) Them. Well does a good Valentines day mean a steak and then a blow job under the table. Then it is the biggest steak in the place so leftovers and a BJ in the car... Then there was ice cream so licking the sauce off the cock later in the night... Since Valentines day doesn't mean very much (to some for a few it is like making the romance to a higher level and I don't mean a Key party) really then you might as well tie it into the other holiday.....
When I wanted to write this I did have a question I mean a real question for the single guy is it worse to be alone on what holiday? -Valentines's there is all the candy but yet you don't need to spend money or use a weeks check on some gold...
-Valentines Day you see all these couples and they are all extra Lovey (Projectile Vomiting) Dovey
[The Above question applies to women as well]
Now of the Made up Holidays Steak and Blow Job Day Is even more made up Then Valentines day.......
-You can't celebrate this holiday in public so it isn't like (well you could but you won't see it) so it isn't like during dinner the women will vanish under the table and then see your said face and offer to share with ya (ha) it isn't like they will come help you out either so.......
- No one really celebrates this do they? I can just see someone bringing this up Hi Hun you remember what tonight is don't you....
- If anyone does could you set her up with me even if it just for that Night ;)
-If we assume this is a real holiday and some people do celebrate it that changes everything from what I said and so what holiday is worse not to do?
Of course if you are one of those few blessed people then you can have your own Steak and Blow Job day all by yourself...
Again though this can be looked at from the female perspective... I have heard a rumor of some women who love to give head (wish I knew a bunch of them) So for them being single must ruin that holiday... Well of course (assuming hot or at least decent) they could go to Steak houses and go up to guys and Ask to do know what today is? If the answer is no show them on their phone throw wiki pages and ask for a small piece of steak..... But I think for most women being single this day is a good thing... I wonder how many couples break up for this reason after Valentines Day (HA) and before Steak and Blow Job Day (march 14th)
Well Hope anyone who read this enjoyed it.........
I don't endorse any of the links on the side of page haven't tried them so... But the question does remain for males and females what is worst to be single on?

The plane is obviously the most comfortable and the easiest. Also, in my personal opinion, it is VERY easy to get from the airport to anywhere in Manhattan - though it does take about 40 minutes (JFK airport is near Queens). I also think that the security is not intrusive regardless of what people say. If you have seen the movie "Up in the air", pretty much EVERYTHING that George Clooney says in the airport scene is true. To summarise, wear shoes that you can remove and put on easily, don't wear belts, make sure you have no liquids and semi-solids in your carry-on baggage, empty your trouser pockets before you get in the line, you can put everything in your coat pockets and put the coat in the checking tray. So, if you are ready you just walk right through the scanner. I have gone through the buffalo airport (and JFK) uncountable number of times and have NEVER been held up for more than 15 min and I am usually the one who gets extra checking because of my name. I definitely don't think any of it is intrusive. I don't think it's fair to pull down the TSA or the homeland security on the basis of random reports out there with experiences of cancer patients, people with prosthetic limbs or intestinal catheters. These are special cases and does not apply to 99.99% of the people who walk through security scanners on a DAILY basis. So yes, if you every see a $49/$39 special on JetBlue, pounce on it by all means.
If you don't spot these $49/$39 each way deals then airtravel is really more expensive than any of the other options. Train travel is AS CHEAP as megabus or greyhound, takes the same amount of time, and is infinitely more comfortable. Travel is around $44 each way (you can put in the I-LOVE-NYC code V557 found in the magazine in the seat pocket and knock 20% off your rail fare). Also take a look at this page: :::link:::
My third choice would be Megabus. The buses are WAAY more comfortable than greyhound and if you have a laptop, you can surf the net for 8 hours nonstop. :^) They are are not that crowded and the passengers are mostly students and business people. If you can sit on the top rung of the double-decker in the front seat, the views are spectacular. If you can catch up on sleep for 8 hours, its probably a good alternative. The bus is actually just $5 - $10 more than the train or waaay more expensive than the train - depending on how close you are to the traveling date. I recommend booking any of these (plane/train/bus) as soon as you possibly can as the price keeps going up till the last day - when they skyrocket to the maximum rates - wayy more than airfare.
My last ditch-attempt choice would be greyhound. I would avoid it as much as I possibly can. They are irresponsible, don't stick with schedules around holidays and may have somewhat sketchy smelly people travelling in their buses. Most of all, I really hate it when they waste my time and overbook people and then delay for as much as 2 hours. Avoid greyhound as much as you can.
If you know where you are going and what you want to do, I can sit down with you and give you a run down of all subway routes and pretty much anything I can help you with. I also know of the cheapest hotel in NYC (Red Roof, Brooklyn - that is not really as bad as the reviews say it is) Let me know! Meanwhile, this is an excellent website to check out: :::link:::
Broadway is one of the streets that make up Times Square.
I've taken the megabus from Buffalo to NYC - it was long and kinda painful but cheap. The train & plane are the same cost (much more than bus). Train takes almost as long as the bus but is way more comfortable. Plane is quick but has two major problems: all the intrusive security, and getting from the airport to somewhere useful. The train & bus get you to relatively convenient places on Manhattan.
