Drug Companies

[inlink]thesimeon,44[/inlink] I don't think the adds are to make us feal sad for them. I think there aim is to educate us the viewer as to how much money they spend on coming up with the drugs. That way people will fund reserch on ways to stop diesses. Lets face it we people give to The American Cancer society and other organsations that try to find cures. But some of that money goes to drug companies so they can reserch it. I do agree that drug companies do overcharge for medication. But If you have good health insurance it does cover a big portion of it. The drug companies only charge what they know they can get. If everyone said that is to much and didn't pay it they would have to lower there costs. However what they don't say is that they still make tons of money. They also make it sound like that is how much they spend pure drug. But a lot of those costs are costs of running the place and would be the same if they made 10 or 50 drugs. So they only show us one side of it. I think it is a good ad. I think the ad with lance armstong is a more truthfull and stright forward ad.

3rd Blog Robery

Today work was very stressfull. Lastnight I had fun watching Wrestling. But after I went to bed My sis called. Her house was rebed. The TV, VCR/DVD, Toaster, Microwave and her VHS tapes and DVD's. Her door was locked and she opened it and the stuff was gone. So that hints to the landlord, the people downstairs or the old tenant, maybe the locks where never changed. Yes it is possible someone picked the lock but does that really happen? You would think the downstairs neighboor would have noticed something. Like someone going up and down the stairs. It would have taken a few trips. I don't know what really happended. I think some one might have been casing or watching the house and that bothers me. So I had that stress plus being extra tired from being woken up by the phone and then the extra stressfull day. I was sick of work and didn't care about all the little bullshit things that go on there It was a rough day. I need a new job maybe one where a lot of cool chicks work (personality wise not that they are considerd cool).

It is a great song my Linkin Park. I remember school it sucked. I liked some parts of it like all the fine ladies, swimteam and a few friends. I didn't know her But I went to school with Jodi I forget her last name she does the news on chanel 2. She is so much better looking in person, she is naturaly gorgeous.

Bulid up not out

[inlink]drchlorine,22[/inlink]. I think it would be great if people road bikes and walked look at china. Yes they do ride lots of bikes. It would never work if they had cars. If everyone road bikes or even had motorised bikes or even motorcycles the road would be so less crowded. Plus with bikes or rollar blades or scoters or skateboards there is no pollution and no dependancy on gas. I understand that with sprawl in this country that lots of people would never think of not driving somewhere. When it comes to carrying heavy stuff like food and aplinaces I understand. But the problem is we build out in stead of up. You can build suburn houses on top of eachother into a big buliding and still have lots of room. Just because the building is an aprtment buliding dosn't mean the place has to be small. They also don't have to be expesive lofts there can be a middle ground but that is just my opinion.

Handball

Handball, waterpolo, Hockey, lacrosse, and basketball all are kinda simalur. yes I know they are very differant but I enjoy watching all of them. But some some ways they are very much the same. Granted handball is not on very often but I hope it will be on more since the olympics exposure of it. I have played all of those sports once. I'm not saying I was any good at them but they are all fun. I think Lacrosse(indoor) is the best live. But Handball is cool to. I wonder if there is a prohandball league that is televised anywhere.

Closing the games

I watched the closing ceremonies of the opympics on CBC and some of the american coverage as well. I Liked it but thought the olympic opening was better. But I did like all the athletes togather as a celebration.

Elmwood Arts

I just went to the elmwood arts festival thing. It is nice. There are things that I like there. Like the ladies at JP Bullfeathers, wow. I like where this one lady had her cell phone, I think it would have ben funny to see her answer it. The thing is that the art that I liked I couldn't see in my house. The pictures where a little expensive then I would still have to get them framed and they where odd sizes. The multiple angles all put togather do look very cool, I will think about it and maybe buy one. I may go back later today I'm unsure. If not I will go again on sunday.

Ideas to grow this site

I know that paul on one of his blogs said he would like to get more people to join here. When ever sometihing grows it also does change some. I don't know what the aim is so some of these ideas might be a bit off. I know the chalk idea got me to check out the site so here goes.

In front of a bar or mutlple bars as a sign or on side walk:
"Did You Meet Any (E:Peeps) tonight go to www.elmwoodstrip.com to find out"

In front of the Verizon store:
"Need more people to talk to try www.elmwoodstrip.com"

At Canisius, UB and or Buffstate as a sign:
"New to Buffalo Learn more about it at www.elmwoodstrip. com"
[Buffstate it would read new to elmwood instead of Buffalo]

A sign anywhere:
"angry or upset and you need a place to vent then go to www.elmwooodstrip.com"

Those are a few ideas that I thought of. They might work or they might not. They might not bring in the crowd that Paul is looking for. They could bring in lots of people if they worked, plus it is a cheap way to advertise. Just a thought.

[Jet Li's] Hero

I just saw Hero it was very good. But I'm a fan of His type of movie. I don't like period pieces to much but it was still very good. I'm not sure how Terentino has to do with it but he gets some kind of credit for it.
