I admit that this weekend will be so busy that I can't remember when Hockey and LAX are on. I know the Bandits play away on saturday afternoon and the sabres are on tonight and friday but I doubt I will see either game. Tonight I will check in on the sabres but I will be watching the Duke game. I will admit that I'm about the only person who likes both Duke and UNC but that is because I'm not from the Carolinas. Oh yeah that reminds me there is no such place as Carolina anymore. There is south and north or the carolinas but to say I've got carolina on my mind dosn't make any sense. My understanding is that if you are from that area you can only like one of those teams and not both. Ok back to my point. On friday Is st. Mats and i will be there drinking and taking pictures and seeing if any crazyness breaks out, should be a great time. Then on Saturday I'm going to hopefully remember to buy a ticket for Spamalot, I should really rent Search for the holy Grail and watch it also some time soon. I also have to go to that Car show they have at the convention center, it looks like it will be preaty cool. Then there is spring cleaning at my mother house that I'm not sure how I got rangled into. Sunday of course is the parade. When I last checked I was going with my sis and one of her friends but not sure. Not sure if I will but I may go see Jackdaw after the parade at club w on Delaware somewhere near the chip strip. If you go to Brokencans.com you can get their concert dates I think they play sometime and Place on Friday and saturday but don't remember when. I am hopefully going to get to watch some more of the NCAA's over the weekend, if I get to see some of the sabres that would be cool to.

I kinda wanted to talk about perspective and how it really effeacts how we each view things. But I'll just say that it is a big factor when we are to watch documetaries. Out own personal view is going to shape the way we look at the material that is presented. I know a reall documentary is just the presenation of facts and everything that happens is shown and it isn't aimed to leed us anywhare. That being said I think it is good to allways think about well how did they get this camera here and also is this an unbaised view or are they trying to convey something. It is allways good to wonder if they left out certain things to get there point across. That being said i saw a movie that anyone who is a fan of independnt movies, or even big hollywood blockbusters should see. It is called this film is not yet rated. It is about how films get rated and how the MPAA isn't really a good system or maybe even that they sord of censor films. Or at least that is what I get from it. In any event it is preaty interesting. I havn't listened to the comentary yet but I look foreward to it. I guess my favorite part is hearing from Kevin Smith. I admit I'm a big fan of his. Ok off to watch House and 24. I wonder how they come up with the TV rating maybe I should look into that.

Today I went to see "The 300" @paul has a post about it that I commented on today. I decided I would still talk about the movie anyways. In e:pauls journal he has a couple links that do lead to a couple interesting articles about the movie and Politics. I'm for now just going to talk about the movie and try not to give anything away. Firstly as a war movie goes I think the battle scenes where pretty good. I don't know how to explain the look of them but they did have a good look to them the picture was verry visual. I have a few pictures I found on line as an example of that above. I will admit that there where a couple of scenes that where kinda guersome and slow motin violance but that is what you expect when you see this type of movie. I like that there was a story line and not all violance and there was betrayl and it kinda told the story of the spartans and how they where fighting for freedom, and more. All in all I thought it was a great war movie with violance some great nudity and love in there also.

On a side note if i look at my journal stats on my previous one it says #799 so that means this is My 800th , that is a lot of journaling. However on my top stats I only have 796 so this would be my 797th . Not sure why those counts are differant. I don't remember deleting or making any journals private but maybe I'm wrong about that.

Firstly I'm glad that the NLL all star game is being broadcast on TV in Canada and the US. But I wish it was going to be on live then rebroadcast. It is being played On Saturday night out in Portland at 10pm eastern time. That same day they are having a skills contest and the finals are supposed to take place during half time of the All Star game. Vs will be showing the game at 2:30 Pm on sunday so that will be fun to watch. I will admit that I think Lacrose looks slower on TV then in person somehow the speed isn't as clear and the music isn't as loud. However I think Hockey is the oposite it looks faster on TV then when you are watching it at the Arena.

Just Quickly wanted to say that Prison Break and mY favorite show 24 starts in minutes. But there are two great shows on NBC that I burn. One is called Heroes and is just what it sounds like is about people with superhuman powers. The second show is called the Black Donnellys and is about an Irish Family of gangsters, 2nd episode is on tonight. I wish I had more exciting stuff to say. Oh yeah Bandits won on Sunday Yeah and the Sabres are doing great.

Kristanna Loken As you may or may not know her plays the Female Terminator in T3. I will admit I thought she was verry hot. But the latest Role I have seen her in she is even hotter in. She is one of the New Characters in this season of The L Word. I figured she is a named actress and famous for her role so she wouldn't be a main character or at least wouldn't be nude the last two episodes proved me wrong big time. I will admit I don't get into verry many dramas but it is preaty good, and not just because of naked chicks but it dosn't hurt so here are a couple pictures of her I found on line.



Oh yeah over the weekend I also saw two Movies. I finaly saw Donnie Darco, it was good but verry strange and dark. Then I saw Final Destination 3 and that was good but they kinda took it in a differant way or at least to me. It seemed like she wound up causing the deaths instead of preventing them but that is just my take.

Here are a few pictures from Before the game of Buffalo.



The Bandits wound up winning by one goal. I think it was the most exciting Game I have been to this year. Buffalo was up for a little bit and then where down near the end of the game and came back tied it and won and didn't lose it in the end or have to go to sunden death overtime, I had a great time.

The intro to the games is pretty bad ass I think.

Almost at the end of the game was a fight. I got it the best I could but it was tough with players in front and the fight being away from me.

They Lovely ladies dancing

Some more of the dance team/Cheerleaders

Some Game shots finaly


One funny thing there was this hot chick with what looked like great boobs sitting by me with her man(I assume) and she was yelling and all mad at The bandits Goalie she was saying fuck and that he sucks and the guy was all silent then later they where joined by friends and the other girl wasn't as loud. But I find it funny and kinda cool that they where all into it, even though I disagree with her, and the guys wheren't even cheering.

Well first of all I'm currently listening to the New Weird Al cd, it is not that loud so I will have to really listen to it and hear all the lyrics some of it is preaty good.

Lately I havn't had much of a voice so I wanted to share two things about tonight The sabres are on in about 10 minutes going to listen and then watch some of the game. At 9pm on fox is the Final Episode of The O.C. I will admit I thought it would stay on longer then it has. Not sure if it is going off because of ratings or if they don't know where to go with the series. It has been a good run maybe it is better that it wasn't on for like 7 years and you have stories that only take place during summer or Follow the kids in College or what ever.

Saturday Night the Bandits Play at home and I will be there pounding on the glass cheering them on Hopeing they can beat Philly.

I was only going to Keep the new user pic up for Valentines day. But Now I kinda like it and I think I'll keep it up for a little longer.

I did vote for (e:strip) as the best website from Buffalo and I don't know if it will count but I picked one of my favorite writers on here as the best buffalo blog and then added that they where at estrip not sure if that is the right way or not. I also thought estrip could be mentioned on one of the extra credit questions. I know I have to go back and see if I can answer a few more questions also, qucik update game in two minutes about.

So I had this plan of watching all these movies today. However when I woke up all congested this morning I took sinus stuff, granted I feal better but it kicked the shit out of me. At least I got to watch somestuff Like The o.c., The L word and airplane, before it knocked me out. Tonight Prison Break and 24 are on so that should be a good time. That being said I'm glad I have the day off. It is nice kinda to not do anything really. I'm not sure if I'm remebering correctly but I think when I was a kid we got school off for both Lincoln and Washington's birthdays as opposed to the one combined holiday. That reminds me the US mint is retrying the Dollar Coin. From what I have read Every few months they will realase a new president. From what I read it will be only dead ones. I havn't looked into the entire list to see how recent they will or what the order is. I'm not sure if the us is ready for the Dollar coin. The last few times it didn't work so well. But I think one of the problems was not enough circulation of the coins. When first minted they where supposed to replace papper dollars because coins last longer. It will be interesting to see what happens with this. I wish I had more exciting stuff to talk about, but that is about it today.

Today I went to see the movie Ghost Rider. I have to admit that I do like comic books, but havn't read any in long time. I will also admit that I have never read Ghost Rider, it didn't seem like my thing. But that being said I wanted to see it cause it looks preaty good and stars Nicholas Cage, who I like, as Ghost Rider. I thought it was preaty good and looked preaty cool. If it follows the storyline of the comics I have no clue. One of the previews I saw was for the new Fantastic Four movie that looks like it will be great. Again I have to admit I didn't see the first one, I really should. The new one is called something along the lines of "Rise of the Silver Surfer". I will admit that I never read either of these comics. That being said Silver Surfer did Have a preaty cool cartoon show years and years ago. The other preview is for the 3rd Spiderman movie. Yes I have seen the preview a few times but I think the 3rd one will be the best cause we get to see spidy fight his own demons with that black suit I hope they go really heavy on that part we shall see. Below are a few pictures I taken this winter the snow banks one I took today. The ice crystals in the snow really look cool but I can't really see them in the picture.
