Today was a normal work day like any other. I do read some of the paper at work everyday. I think it was in the city and regiion section I read this morning that there was a drug bust around Elmwood and North I think it was. Somebody was selling drugs out of a Cadilac. The story didn't get to deep into details but I thought it was interesting. After work today I took a nice long walk down Elmwood and Stoped into Burger King there where two hotties in there Yum. I got a milkshake and a Icee the where both good. There where a few fine ladies out on the strip. I got a little upset when I got near Rite Aid. I think they ripped me off the other day. I had a coupon for 10 digital prints for a dollar. I wish I had a copy of it so you all could read it. It iplied that multiple sets of 10 would be a dollar and that if you didn't have 10 that those would be regular price. Well the girl behind the counter didn't agree the manager shook his head at me and didn't say a word. I was getting 200 prints so I think they where just pissed about that. Right on the coupon it says only one per order the girl claims that she has to scan it and she needs a coupon for each ten. Personally I think they are full of shit. What I should have said is I'm right and I want the price stated on the coupon it dosn't any limits. Now if you give me that price you are still making money but if I walk out then you won't get any thing. Then if they refused I would say well I tried to be nice but you wanted to be assholes so see ya. Then walked out but I like an idot I just paid and over paid at that. Screw them I'm staying with walgreens. There are places on line where you can get them for cheaper but then they mail them and you have to pay for shipping or get out to a walmart where ever that is. Well back to my boaring story. I go to walgreens and by stuff for my plugged up ear and some drinks that where on special. The girl behind the counter was very cute. Nice lips nose, huge butt nice tits yumie. Then I walked home and really enjoyed the nice weather outside the entire time. This weather is odd in the morning I need a hoodie but afternoon it is verry warm, oh well I still like to be outside.

Drchlorine picked up on an interesting topic and my view is kinda simular I think but also very differant. I know that right now there are a lot of battles in schools about what should be taught. Evolution is currently only a theory. It is not yet scientific fact like most of the science we learn is school. But some of what we learned have allready changed. For example I learned that nerves can't regenerate themselves. That isn't completly true. Some nerves have done it in experiments. My point is as scienctists learn more stuff then what we learn in class will change. As long as it is taught as a thoery I think it is ok. I know some people get upset and say they don't belive it or it goes aganist there religous beliefs. But if that is the case then send you kid to a catholic school if you are upset that much. Or you could just teach your kid your religous beleifs. See they are both really belief systems right now. Right now the facts that support both of them are not vary solid.

I honestly don't see why there is such a big fight. Both Theories could be right. I know you think that sounds crazzy but here goes. Acording to the bible God created the earth then all the animals and then Man. There are a lot of differant animals some of wich don't even exsit and then there are new animals. The seven days is a metahphor it dosn't literly mean 7 days it means over a vast amount of time. Then once all the animals where made then Humans where made. That is one way of explaining evolution. Since things where created before man then no one would really know how long it took. That is why the 7 days is a metaphor. On the 7th day god rested means that he left the earth alone to its own devices and let it control its self. That would also explain why there is evil and why God dosn't fix the bad stuff that people do. I'm not saying I have the answers. But what I am saying is that so many people only listen to there preachers and what they say. I say pick up the book read the entire thing your self and then come up with your own coclusions. Interpert the bible your own way don't let the church control your thoughts and your actions. If the first organsim was say an emba then over time the eviromant changed so it changed and became something else. Then eventully we get to man kind. That is basicly what it says in the bible. The one differance is that science says that it happened on its own. But what if god and on its own is really the same thing but just with a differant name. Both sides are close to what it is but not exactly right. I belive that evolution and creationsim is really the same thing expressed from a slightly differant point of view and that they can both work togather. They are both thoeries and untill there are more facts i think we need to understand they are both theories and not proff that the other one is false.

Couple points of interest. Over time humans are getting taller. Is that evolution, it could be. Cancer has always been killing people doctors know a lot about it but still can't figure out why it comes back or how to stop it with out Chemo. It is vary nasty and it sucks for anyone that has it or anyone who knows anyone who has it. But I heard somewhere that there is a thoery that it is evolution. That somehow the cells growing out of control would explain mutations. It could be that it is mutations not working. I know radation can change DNA but it dosn't do it in a positive way like in comic books. it usaly just messes things up worse. There is a third theory that most people don't look at I cal it naturalism, don't know its real name. Yeah it is kinda in science. It is about how things on earth need to be balaced. It kinda fits in with the food chain. Take HIV for example again a horible, Horible Plague. It kills a lot of people. What if the reason the diease came into exsitance wasn't from lots of kinky sex the eating of mokeys in Africa. What if it is because the world is over populated and needs thinging. HIV dosn't kill you right away that lets you spread it to lots more people. If HIV killed quickly then it wouldn't be as devistating. The same thoery can be said about all the storms. The storms might not be because we are in the end times. They may have some balancing effect. Like to get all the people who damage the coast off of it. I think that you can belive any of the theories you want. But don't attack others because they don't belive the same thing you do. I think that every so often you have to take a look inside and see what you really belive. I'm not saying everyday or when something tramatic happens. Just when you are in church or school and two facts seem like they might be in conflict or something like that. Maybe when you are having a drink and reliase that the guy over there is kinda sexy. Then you remembert you are a stright guy who loves your women. That is a good time to look inward. Thanks for reading this book, anyone who is still here.

Since I like the watermelon look I thought I would write and make it look like the theme of watermelon hopefully it still looks ok. I lke the comments idea and may use it more often then then post it notes. The reason is that the comment is attached to the specfic journal. But the post it's are good for a note that is personal you that dosn't need to be shared. By the way maybe that is one add that (e:strip) could get. There is no current generic term for post it's So I don't think there could be any conflict of interest there. But I also doubt 3M would spend the money but you never know. Just a thought. I like the picture of spot from Jason's window. I have walked by spot to many times to count. I had some other point I wanted to make but I forget what it was so hope everyone enjoys the weekend.

I'm not sure but I think The Guitar Festival is this weekend. I usally check artvoice and see if there are any concerts I want to see over the weekend. However I won't be going any place loud for some time. My right ear has felt congested and is sord of ringing or has the white noise stuff. I don't know where it came from I didn't notice it after MIA 05. I did get a good ECW PPV where I got excited and Yelled a lot. There where some dips in the volume maybe that did it and then I slept on it wrong. Hopefully I can go get some stuff to try and see if I have built up earwax and get it out cause it is very anoying. On another note I like the watermelon theme. I don't like the fruit but I like the theme.

Dancers


Seven Day Faith

The Voo Doo Dollies


The Human Marvels




Those are just a few Pics from Music is Art. I wish I could have posted more here but my computer is moving slow, or maybe it is the interner or both. But if you would like to see more go to here I have a second album of pictures here , hopefully those links work. Some of the pictures could have come out better and I only labeled some of them. But if you think you might like them check them out. The enigma is really amazing some of you may have seen him on TV before.

I went to Allentown and Music is art and Had a great time both days and it was a lot of fun. The sideshow tent had a bunch of shows in it. I didn't see to many of them. They Engima was there they had people hanging from hooks. I went to see the stripteasers a few times. From what I understand they have a show at Roxy's I think on thursdays.

They had all kinds of interesting art. Plus there where dancers and lots of differant bands and styles of music. Plus there where some very sexy ladies there also. I took about 200 pictures and have them on webshots. I can't name every band that was there but bands that I enjoyed was Klear, The Voo Doo Dollies, Anatara, Zilla, The Human Marvels (Enigma does some tricks ass he performs), Cute is what I am for, Anal Pudding, Seven day faith, Cute is what we aim for, Gamalon, Agent me, The Rabies, Sanity and some more.

I also bought two pictures of NY City that looked cool. Allentown allways has a bunch of neat looking art to buy. I hope I did a decent shot of explaining stuff. When I have all the webshots pictures titled then I hope to include the link. Also some of the pictures looked nice on the camara but came out darker when downloaded. If any one knows of a cheap way to get pictures devloped let me know. All in all it was a lot of fun.

First of all I have over 10,000 views, wow. I guess that means people like to read my journal. I admit I don't know how that compares to others on the site but that dosn't matter. I admit I like to write blogs. But they are sitll a little strange. What I mean is you can write it as if no one is going to read it. Then is will mostlikely be verry personal. Or you can write it personal and make it so there is nothing to private. Or you can write stuff that you want to share or give your own view on. Like a political stance. I do a little bit of all of it. In any event I'm glad that people are reading it, if they where not I would feal kinda bad I guess.

I would also like to thank Paul for mentioning Music Is Art in the news journal. I know there are a lot of festivals and events going on in Buffalo. I think MIA is not only a lot of fun. But there is a lot of good variety and it sounds like this year it is really going to be expanded. In addition at Musicisart.org you can find out all kinds of information about it, like who will benifit from it.

I think yesterday I went to the sister site. Sometimes refered to as (e:strip) West. Once I logged in I saw something cool. Under what to write about the last topics on (E:strip) where listed and you could click on them and they would bring you here. I thought that was neat.
if you type that into your browser it will take you there. I just wanted to mention one more thing. I have seen 3 recent shows on Coldplay and they all have been great. MTV's Ask Coldplay and Coldplay Live leak, VH1 Story Tellers Coldplay. I admit I missed the Greenday story tellers and I'm still upset but maybe I will catch it some other time. Yes I like Greenday and Coldplay and they are both coming to town this summer.

This was in the Buffalo news but it was to big to scan all of it so I tried taking a picture of it. I don't know if it will be readable or not. It is information about Music Is Art. They are having a festival on Sat and Sun. Yes that is the same days as Allen Town. Yes you can do both they are both free and both in the same area. Last year it was a lot of fun. It sounds like they are expanding it and even including Jazz and Country. From what I've seen it looks like Sunday is the better night to go. But that makes sense since you want to end it off big. For more information You can go to musicisart.org . I'm guessing there maybe more info on it in Artvoice and or Gusto but not sure. Both festivals are a great way to spend all weekend. Oh and don't forget to wear songblock if you are someone who might need it. I forgot once at one of those outdoor festivals and after that I never forgot again.

First of all I'm glad The Pride weekend was a suscess. I my self didn't go to see the parade or any of the acivities. But I also didn't go to any of the activities when I was in Toronto during Pride week. It was either last year or a couple years ago, I was going up there for something else and it just happended to be Pride week. That being said I still think that it is good that more people attentended.

But Pride itself is an interesting topic. I think if you are gay, black, white, Jewish, Korean, Budhist or what ever you are you should be proud. I don't know if this is ever true with Gay Pride. But often with Pride people overdue it. They are so proud of what they are they look down on others. Often Pride is another way of packaging hate. In stead of saying we hate blacks and hispancs and asains or what ever group(S) that person hates. They say We are proud to be white or what ever group they are in. But just be cause you say the same thing dosn't mean you share their same views. It dosn't matter if you are in a minority group or a majority group. When I was growing up I thought that some people where prejudiced and most people where not. But as I have grown up and learned a lot more. I have come to belive that most people are prejudiced aganist some body. Weather it be nationality, skin color, gender, religion, sexual orintation. You could even add political assocations but I don't know if that would really count. But what I think matters the most is how you treat some one. That is do you let your bias or prejudice influnace how you treat people. I think as long as you don't prejudice effect how you treat others then it is ok. Somestero types are really true. For example Irish Dancers dance from the waist down only. Yes that was part of a joke from I think chris rock but I'm not sure. I'm irish I thought it was funny. But there is a real reason for it, something along the lines of that the english made dancing illegal. From where the troops watched if you danced from the waist down they couldn't see it. So now it is carried on a tradition and a true sterotype.

I think that one of the goals of Pride Fest is to help everyone get along. I think it is ok for people who think homesexuality is sin to think that but to still except homosexuals as regular people. I think it is fine for them to be excepted into church as well. I don't know if Homosexuality is really anymore acpeted but it at least is loosing some of the stigma and is out more in public. I think it is good that there is a "gay community" (what ever that is) and that there are places where gays can be excepted and gay clubs and bars (never been to one). However it is still important to remember that there are lots of people in this country who are filled with hate and there are still lots of places like the millitary and Major sports where if you come out you would be ruined. But Pride being successfull is a step in the right dirrection and I hope things get better for not only gays but exceptance of everyone who is differant than you. For any one still reading this sorry for the book.

Even though I have to work on friday. I will start off on thursday. I think thursday at the square is one of the many great Buffalo events. There are always lots of hot ladies there. Thursday was no except ion, some of the ladies there where amazing. But that wasn't why I went. They are a nice distraction though. The first band was Breaking Point. I thought they where good. I bought a CD for the second band they did a metallica song wich suprised me "for whom the bell tolls" the girl selling Sumberged stuff was amazing also. Then the main act or headliners Theory of a Deadman. They really rocked, I had a great time. Plus the weather was great, perfect for a free out door show. They also annoced that on July 7 & 8 The Tea Party will be playing at Sphere. After words I watched the end of wrestling and watched MTV true Life: I'm dead broke. It was interesting. For anyone who thinks they are poor it would be a good show to watch and see how you compare to the people mtv featured.

I didn't do very much yesterday I started watching entourage on HBO in demand it is a good show and chated with an internet friend of mine. I admit that chating through IM's can be very nice. I'm not really a phone person but IM"s are cool I had two big pieces of Pie that where verry good. The Pie kinda was my dinner.

Today I went to see Lords of Dogtown. I thought it was very good. I have also seen Dogtown and Z boyz wich is a documentary. This is a more hollywood view of it. I have to admit it was verry good. On theback from an enjoyabel movie I stoped At Burger king for a nice lunch on the go. But I went to Starbucks for the first time. I went there to buy a CD. I know i don't know how to spell it right but i'll give it my best shot intiagony rising. I saw them I think last year downtown they are a girl band and where very good. Tonight I'm tapeing Hero, it is a jet li movie. I still have no idea what the Dyke March is. But I may go up on elmwood and see. I had such a nice walk today out in the lovely weather that I may not feal like heading back up there. Then there is some parade tommarow they are supposed to have floats and stuff who knows maybe I will head up that way. My mother also graduates again from Epire so I'm going to that but the two pridebuffalo things I don't know. I'm not gay so i don't see the point but I do like parades. On another note wow there sure have been a lot of vistors. And what is the pLabs link about and what happened to the estrip west link Just kinda wondering?
