Busy Weekend up coming



Assuming we don't get a Blizzard like in the above linked YouTube video of the Blizzard of 77 then I have another busy weekend. On Saturday I'm hoping to go see Cloverfield (looks pretty good and I like that it has that gritty home video look in some parts, hope it is good). That night is The Buffalo Bandits Vs. Titans (new york) lacrosse game at HSBC. At the same time there is the Art Voice Boom Battle of the bands at the tralf. I will get to see the end of it. Hopefully I'll get to see the last two bands and maybe get some pictures also. From what I understand there will be some surprise guest or band after all the competing bands. I'll be meeting some other people there. Should be a good time. Then on Sunday There is some (I assume ) Playoff Football. Friday the Sabres play it would be nice if they could win a game some time soon. I think I'm having dinner with the family.

Taking off..........

First of all I want to say that there is all ways people who you see and think there are parts of them that I wish I had. Sometimes it is confidence or how they are able to sleep around and not care. You only think of the good. Today the person that I wish I had some of her Characteristics is (e:ladycroft)'s ability to move around and make new friends and travel. As I'm walking home from walgreens (this happens every so often) I think. Man I wish I could sell or store or give away or give my stuff to someone to hold and hope on a bus or train and start out fresh in a new city. Maybe some place warm like Carolina (either state) away from the water so no huricanes. It would have to be a city. At first this thought was just another part of town and then grew. Yeah I like Buffalo, but there are some parts of it that are really messed up. Sometimes I just want to start over some place else. Of course if I did I would still be part of estrip.org . I wont do it, it is to much work, to much of a chance, takes to much planning, and I'm to lazy but it does sound like a good idea. Oh yeah the new user picture was taken by (e:ladycroft). I like how I'm looking at her. It kinda looks like I'm kinda anticapating it but with the two shots taken it went so fast that I couldn't think about it.

Update on Sarah Connor

First of all A correction from last post. I said Thompson was the back up we was the guy who got pulled but he and the bandits did wind up winning the next night in Rochester. I'm glad they stopped there long winning streak. Football wise it was a great weekend with a some great games to watch. Maybe the highlight of the weekend was the start of Terminator:The Sarah Connor Chronicals (how ever you spell it fuck). Yes the second part of the premiere is on after Prison Break tonight on Fox. It is only one episode so far but so far I like the action and the story line and acting. I do have to admit that as I'm watching it I'm thinking it is to bad about the writers strike because then 24 would have been able to start (all the episodes weren't written before the strike) and that we might have to wait an entire year to see the next season. That being said Till then I think this series should be pretty good or at least fun to watch. I admit I will burn it on disc and watch RAW but maybe I will catch the second hour of RAW only, not sure yet. I may feel differently after I have seen the next episode tonight. I hope the series stays good and stays on and isn't canceled like how fox likes to do it. How awesome is that there is a terminator show? I never thought I would see it and so far I'm happy that I have.

Bandits Sports weekend

I wish I could have made it to that Hockey thing at the Knox last night but I didn't have time with the bandits game. I did Have a good time at the game and the Buffet before hand. The bandits started out close and then the Knighthawks ran away with the game. The Bandits switched goalies and did come back but couldn't catch up in the end and lost by 3 goals. They might have won if the Backup Thompson had played the entire game but it is hard to know really. Tonight the Sabres are playing at home. I will check in on that game every so often as I watch "The Pats" play. I think that could be a really good game tonight. In terms of Pictures I will put up some random pictures from the game and hopefully they are good.

I guess that is plenty of pictures. The intros are allways dark and fun to watch they changed it up a little bit this year. Pearl st. is a cool looking place to have the Buffet and the place was packed. All in all I had a great time and look forward to there next home game, a week from today. Hope everyones weekend is great.

sports weekend

So this weekend there is a lot of sports. First of all I read in Sunday's paper that at the Allbright Knox they are going to have NHL trophies there on display and there is some first come first serve kind of passes to see the Stanly Cup. I don't think I have time to go I wish I did. That night is The Bandits Home Opener "Lets Go Bandits". Then on both Saturday and Sunday is the NFL playoffs. The teams I like Have lost or didn't make the playoffs. But there are 4 teams that I like to watch. First of all I'm a fan of Brett Farve but no really the packers. Same thing can be said of Dallas I'm not a fan of there's but they are fun to watch with Romo and TO. Then you have Indy who you have to watch cause of how good they are and can be. Then how can you not like watching the Patriots with all there weapons on offense and oh yeah and they have a few good players on defense also. So for me there should be a lot of sports going on to watch.

Valentines Day, Be Mine, HUH?

So I know it is super early to talk about my hate no that is to strong of a word dislike with some aspects of valentines day. But I think In my last post I said I would talk about it in my next one. So then after I do this one then I can talk about how this weekend all four football games have a team a like to watch (different then that I like). I was trying to look back at my post about it and did find that I some how put sports in at least one of them. As I was looking back I also saw some pictures from (e:paul)'s birthday pajama party. There was the bubble machine and the bubbles there was a joke going around that at Midnight it turned into a wear what you sleep in party but that never happened that would have been funny or at least very interesting. Back to the Topic of Valentines day. This year I'm going to try to embrace it not that it will work. I'm not sure what day it is on even other then that two people that I know have birthdays right around it so that is my inspiration well kinda at least. There is this band that Was part of one of the QCRGs events (or maybe they where both at the same event with Art & Body Tattoo) that I didn't go to called "As Summer Dies" who I have never seen in person, I all ways miss there shows. But on myspace they sound pretty good. If what I heard is correct they are having a Valentines day eve show so that might be a good time. So Valentines day by My valentine. For those who don't know my gripe here it is generally: Valentines day is supposed to be this day where you go out and Buy something special (spending money is implied the more the better) or do something super romantic to show how much you love the person you are with because of a day. But it implies that V-day is the only day to do that. Shouldn't you do something special for them because you care about them (any day) not because it is an obligation. That is what V day has been turned into is an obligation and that kinda sucks. That being said I want to change my user picture. That is if it is ok with (e:ladycroft) and (e:theecarey) but I don't know how to do what I want to it. I want to have that same picture inside of a heart of some kind. it could even be one of those broken hearts or something. Or maybe I could go negative again and do the dark rose. Trying to stay "on the positive tip" here as they say in the hip hop world, not sure that it is possible.

Sunday Nights

I have all ways found Sunday nights kinda upsetting TV wise. It seems like there have all ways been show I like that conflict. Tonight you have American Gladiators 9-11. Then you have the return of one of the best shows or at least very gritty and truth full "The Wire" I assume this years season will be great, if you live in a city it is a much watch. But also if you live in the city then you need to watch about the crazy suburbs hence a new "Desperate Housewives" then if you are gay or just like hot Lesbian sex or like love stories or like to see the envelope pushed "The L Word" Returns. At least there is HBO and Showtime in demand and those episodes repeat. But when things really get interesting is next Sunday and Monday when "The Sarah Connor Chorincals " is on fox for Two Hours. The Terminator gets a TV show that is going to be so awesome, I hope. It looks like the girl who played river on firefly will be part of show. I hope FOX keeps it on. I'm not sure if it will lead into prison break or not but I think that would be a great combo. It seems to me like there is either nothing I'm interested in or two things I am all the time now. I'm not saying there is nothing on because there are tons of great things on lots of channels but they just don't interest me. Ok time to go back and watch Football hopefully I didn't miss to much of the game. Oh yeah kids Valentines day stuff is on the shelfs that may be my next post, who knows.

Experiment with last posts

So for those who may not have seen the post below it is about (e:ladycroft)'s Goodbye Dinner. The last time she left she didn't get to have one so it was nice to have one this time. The first thing of pictures are ones that I edited today and hopefully they look a little bit better then they did before; of the dinner.

I am starting to learn how to use my new software to edit pictures. I think it was something either mrmike or ladycroft said at dinner about using software on pictures. So I figure I might as well start how to use mine and make the pictures look better or at least different. I wanted to try it on all the dark one from New Yeas Eve but there where just to many. Hey I gotta have time to watch those two football games I'm a redskins fan and a Steelers fan and hope both teams win but wouldn't be surprised to see them both lose Hope They Both win but we shall see. So here are some Edited Pictures from New Years Eve.

The other reason why i didn't do more pictures was at one point I kinda lost the point of what pictures I had and hadn't edited. Not to mention the fact that I need to go pick up my photos and add them to my photo books at home. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend and I on a side note I can't wait till timika has time to put up all her pictures I know they will be great. That last group one should be pretty cool not to mention other pictures that I wouldn't know about since I wasn't with her.

The Croft Dinner


The pictures of the Ladycroft dinner are kinda in reverse order and still kinda dark. So look at the bottom ones first then scroll up. I did take about 5 pictures out side. On my camera you can tell (not sure in the picture or not) that Pier 1 is no longer there. Then the two other pictures are of the christmasy lights on the the trees. I don't know if my pictures really show this but (e:ladycroft) looked amazing I also really liked that skull and crossbones shirt and how it looks on you (or would that be how you looked in it). I thought the food was good. I wish I could have gone more the pasta route but my insides would not have allowed that with how I was feeling (sometimes us people with high metabolism get it where it moves a little bit to quick if you know what I mean). That is the same reason why I didn't have any alcohol. But I still had a good time and good food and I hope everyone else did. And (e:ladycroft) thanks for the drop of at the house. On a side note to (e:mrmike) it is funny how you where talking about the snake and the handlers and then it was in the Buffalo News today I forget that news paper news moves kinda slow sometimes (I didn't have time to read the entire article). It was nice to see everyone there also. Even though there where some empty chairs it was nice to see most of them get filled. I just wish my pictures where a little bit better (including pictures of the bar) and that I had more to add to the conversation.

I don't really have much else to say other then (e:ladycroft) I hope you enjoyed your time here and got to see everyone you wanted to (not sure when you are leaving so you still may have time). I also want to add that I can't wait to see all your pictures once you get time to post them and I wish you a safe and happy trip home it was great to see you again you really are a pretty awesome chick (bad term I know), but you really are.. It was also fun to see a bunch of you other peeps to.

I didn't do any writing because I wanted to try and get up all the pictures I got most of them I think. I put up a few of the outside ones because I crashed on a couch. I also couldn't think of any thing that I didn't say in part one Except Thanks to (e:pmt) to hosting the party it was a great time so thanks again.
Oh I did take some other pictures on the way home I think those might go into what ever my next post is about. When I got home I got to sleep and then later watched "The Amp Energy Winter Classic". I watched most of it on NBC but watched the end of the game and the PreGame on CBC. All in all it was a great game. I wish the Sabres would have won But I also like the Penguins also. At least we get 1 point. In terms of NBC and the NHL I don't think it could have been better really. There where some big time plays, it was fun to watch, the game went into overtime and one of the new young stars of the league won the game as the last person in the shoot out. Hope everyone has a great 2008.
