Great work ethic isn't all ways great

First of all if anyone from work is reading this it isn't personal. I do understand that there is a difference between how people are work wise and personally and try to separate that. I think I do a god job of that but it isn't easy. I wish I could have written this in the morning when I was more pumped up and a wake.

I think that I have a good work ethic. I don't think I'm the only one like that. But sometimes having a strong work ethic can be bad. I'm not saying that it is bad, but if it is to strong then it can cause problems. For example when you want to do a really good job then when things are not how you think they should be or could be or when there are things that bother you they are worse. When you care a lot you can't really just go oh well who cares. The other problem is that if you decide that you are not going to care about that "little Stuff" then that will effect how hard you work. Lately work has been driving me a little crazy. I'm not saying that I don't like where I work or anything but sometimes where you work just gets on your nerves and lately it has been on mine.

That being said I do like to goof around some and still have fun at work. That being said the work still should come first and be the main focus not what is done after the fun and goofing off. But just because you have a good work ethic doesn't mean you do the most work. There are other factors like your abilities and the type of person you are. For example someone who hates to work but who is a stock boy might work super fast and get everything thing filled then go fuck off in the back for a few hours then come back out and check everything out a little bit before they have to leave and then quickly fill anything else they need to. But then you can have someone with a great work ethic but they are an over organiser and planner so they think about how they will save all this time and plan all the shit they have to do out and then wind up doing so much thinking that they don't wind up doing really anything at all.

On a side note I ordered Wrestlemania Last night and it was pretty good. I heard on the radio that some people got hurt from some pyro that went off wrong at the end. I'll have to look that up. I wonder if this will cause WWE to not do pyro anymore. I doubt it since the event last night was outside and there is wind and stuff that might have been a factor.

World of Wheels 2008 updated

So today I went to The World Of Wheels at the convention center. I got there and there was a pretty good crowd but it wasn't too bad you could see all the cars. Some of them where classics and then some where pimped out and then some where motorcycles. I had a good time and really liked the Hamburger I got. I won't post all my pictures but I'll put up a lot of random ones. Here they are:

If you made it to the bottom of these pictures then I would say you like cars and should go to the convention center. It was $12 and I had a coupon that took $3 off that price. It didn't get picked randomly but I also didn't go to the end of my photos either but there is this really cool huge Motorcycle there that with out seeing it is hard to describe. The mustang room is pretty cool to. There is so me amazing paint jobs on some vechiles. The things with pictures is that the show only part of the car you can't really see the interior or all the angles. There was this one pretty sweet looking car with skulls on in black and white. I don't have my pictures up on Webshots yet but hopefully Sunday I will have time to put them up. My computer is moving slow otherwise more pictures would have gone up. I will admit that there where a couple cars I saw last year like that semi but the ones that I did where pretty cool. There was a Bently there and a few really nice classic cars there also.

Hey why not throw in a bonus 6 pictures and see what we get.

Just to clear one thing up the reason that the photos are random is first of all it would take to long to put them all up here. Second of all and more importantly I guess with my old camera the software was different and when you used estrip you knew what the picture (small version) was but now you don't so I just do it randomly. Hope if people read this it didn't bore you or if you did that you went to another journal.

I just wanted to add that I have a lot of my pictures on photo hosting site called webshots. I myself like that site a lot. I think it is a great site to put pictures up on. Back to the car show, I wanted to remind everyone that it is still going on today I think from like 10 to 10 but not sure I'm not sure if this will show up as a link or not but if anyone wants to the can at least copy and paste the link then. My webshots album isn't in order that I took the pictures but nothing is timely so it doesn't really matter.

3rd snow post

So first of all in my last post I mentioned world of wheels that is currently going on, I'll be going on Saturday sometime and hopefully that will be my next post. So I was going to write about the snow and this is currently the 3rd one about it from today. So here are my thoughts about the snow.

First of all since in don't snowboard or ski I'm sick of the snow and winter. One of the reasons why winter seems so long is because it can snow around Halloween and still snow at easter. I have had easter dinner (late in the year) and it has snowed before. But the other reason is the way the year is broken up by winter. The new year starts during the winter and then ends again in the winter so it makes it seem even longer then it is.

So I had heard that there was a snow fall warning or what ever they call it. As it rained last night I didn't think it would turn to snow but it sure did. I wish when I woke up this morning I took my camera out side. The snow was so pretty. It was the way it just kinda sat on the trees and it really looked very nice. So it was odd that it looked pretty and yet you could be tired of it at the same time. That being said I wouldn't be shocked to see it snow one more time during this early spring season. But that is Buffalo it is better then floods and Huricaines so I guess the snow isn't so bad in comparison.

World OF Wheels this weekend



This weekend is the world of wheels custom car show. Last year was pretty cool. I assume that the cars won't be the same this year. I thought I would put up a few pictures from last years show.

The Thing I liked is that there was a good variety of cars. You had a mustang club room that was all mustangs. Then there was a custom room. That had things that I would call pimped like a golf cart with tv's and a truck with flip up doors and the entire back area speakers. Then of course you have the classic style cars. then there are the classic with the new fancy flames. Then there are muscle cars. There where even trucks and Motorcycles. I really liked the painted semi truck. I thought it was a lot of fun last year and there site mentions there main car will be a big surprise and I wonder what it will be this year.

I didn't really read any old blogs from last year. But when I was looking up the pictures they were in the same album of St.Mats. A quick recap shows (e:lilho), (e:ingrid),(e:jenks), (e:theecarey), bubbles and a bunch of other (e:peeps). That doesn't seem like it was over a year ago but I guess it was.

Bandits Easter

So I hope everyone is having or had a nice Easter, and for those of you who are Polish Dyngus Day on Monday. Mine has been pretty good so far. Last Night was the Toronto Rock Vs. Bandits game and the Bandits did wind up losing. Since I don't have that many pictures going up to explain what happened (buff news has a story in the sports section). The bandits where out played and looked like they where playing wildly. They had to change goalies near the end the one guy had faced 50 some shots. It is to bad Buffalo couldn't have played better, I still had a good time, but a win or at least a better game would have been good. Buffalo got out to a quick lead and then Toronto changed goalies and got much better after that. Even though Here are a few Random pictures.

The Weird thing is that when the bandits don't win putting up the pictures really isn't that fun. For those of you who know about my webshots page last weekend when I went to see the monster trucks I put up pictures on it, if any of you care about that. Next weekend is going to be another very heavy weekend of picture taking I planning of going to the World Of Wheels at the convention center it was a lot of fun last year and they had a lot of amazing rides (cars and stuff).

St. Pats Jackdaw 2008

So if anyone read my previous very long picture Blog before this I said I would get into Jackdaw this time. I will admit I did have a good time at Club W. I was not expecting the Cover to be $10 that seems like a lot not that it is to see the band I wanted to see. Maybe it was just the green but man oh man where there a bunch of hoties there oh yeah and there where some sexy bartenders also. When I went to bet my first drink it was tough to get one. First of all there where lots of distractions like to sexy ladies to my right and left (ones to the left took the place of the guys they where with you weren't getting attention from the bar maids). There where really a lot of people at the bar and I felt this cute yeah I could tell she was sexy with out seeing her trying to get to the bar so I slide over and she wound up getting me a drink, well it was really the guys who wouldn't take money from her and then she wouldn't take money from me so that was cool, so thanks a lot that was really cool cause she saw I was really at the bar a long time. So Again thank you. Later when I went up it had thinned out some and wasn't as bad. Music wise I thought Jackdaw was pretty good, I only know some of there stuff. I will admit that these pictures may be dark not sure how they will look until after this is posted. But here they are:

It just dawned on me that with not knowing how they will look on here that I now have plenty of pictures up. I also saw two girls dancing with each other and that was kinda hot. They where all about dancing with each other. I also saw some guys do the same thing but it wasn't even the same. They do the hold each other around the neck and dance all over the place kinda crazy style where as the girls are more in there own little area. I had a great time and hope everyone had a great holiday.

I haven't gone in yet but I did see that this store is now open.

St Pats Parade 2008

First of all I wanted to say sorry again to Tony , I all ways forget to break out the camera when I run into people I could have gotten a cool picture of you with the horn and Megan to. I was kinda surprised by some of the hot ladies there who didn't have a lot of clothing on not sure how they stayed warm. Not sure how many pictures I will put up of the Parade but I'm guessing a ton here they are:

I do have to admit that a couple times I got distracted from the parade for a few reason. First of all you have people who are not in the thing walking in the street. Then you have people who where walking the opposite way. Then there are bunches of ladies walking the side walk so it is easy to get distracted.

This year instead of being down by North I wanted to get closer to Downtown. I decide that the church would make a cool looking backdrop. It would have been fun I think to be by one of the bars. I noticed that some bar Areas had the Baricades up as a way to kinda keep everyone together and maybe out of the street, is that new this year or was I just never down there before.

All in all I had a good time at the parade and even though it was cold it didn't feel as cold as it was. After the parade I went down to Club W to see Jackdaw and had a great time but that will be my next post. I warn that those pictures maybe very dark But we shall see what happens. Hope everyone had a great time and I hope to see some more pictures from the parade.

Happy Steak & Blow Job Day

So I was on Myspace and saw a bulletin from an (e:peep) and thought there was something I should comment on. Maybe it is that I'm single so I forget about this holiday but today is Steak and BJ Day.

You know the drill. Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for a significant other by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic. Every Valentines day you rack your brains for that one special, unique gift that will show your wife or girlfriend that you really do care for them more than any other. Now ladies, I'll let you in on a little secret; guys really don't enjoy this that much. Sure seeing that smile on your face when we get it right is priceless, but that smile is the result of weeks of blood, sweat and consideration. Another secret; guys feel left out. That's right, there's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or too embarrassed to admit it.

Which is why a new holiday has been created.

March 14th is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day". Simple, effective and self explanatory, this holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man how much you care for him.

No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town; the name of the holiday explains it all, just a steak and a BJ. Thats it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere try THAT much harder in February to ensure a memorable March 14th!

The word is already beginning to spread, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world. And, of course, steak and BJ's.




You can look up the holiday for your self but here is one link about it

Not sure how much the site has other then what I have listed up there. I hope everyone has a good holiday. I can't celebrate it by myself since I can't blow myself but if I could I guess I could do that holiday. But if I could then this would be a completely different post with pictures and video, of course I would need someone to take the pictures and if that was the case then why do my self. All kidding around I think this is a holiday that everyone should have a great time with. I wish I would have remembered so I could have gone to Fridays and asked a waitress and see if they kick me out. I seem to allways forget though.

I also want to wish everyone has a great weekend and do something nice for St. Pats even if it is just going to see A free movie at Sheas or getting drunk and naked in the middle of Delaware.

This Weekend SouthParkBlack

So I'm hoping that I can stay awake tonight since there is supposed to be a new South Park on tonight (yeah to the end of the writers strike). I'm guessing that South Park will address it in there crazy way in one of the new episode. That is followed By Lewis Black who also has a new show (Hi guests 27 currently). I'm not sure if it is stand up or if he has guests but I know he is funny and that should carry it.

So this weekend is St. Patrick's day. I go to the parade on Delaware and try not to die from the cold. With being sick I'm not sure that is a good idea. Well I feel good but still have a cough and feel sick at home. Then Jackdaw (man it has been a long time since I've seen them I keep missing them) is playing at club W. That would be fun, but I can't imagine how crowded it will be in there. Granted I have never been there but I'm guessing moving will be impossible. Maybe I'll go we shall see how I feel.

Saturday is going to be a lot of fun (in the words of Henry Rollins the best part is the anticapation and that may be better then the show). I'm going to see the monster truck show. They have some freestyle motorcross riders also. Not sure if watching them or seeing the trucks up close in the pit will be more fun. They have a 2nd show on sunday also.

On a side note I feel like I have less to say lately but maybe that is just me. I mean post wise or thoughts wise and not really comment wise. Or maybe it is just that I feel I don't have much meaningfull things to say.

BanditsSwarmStorm + Movies

So we set our clocks ahead and spring is supposed to be coming and we get all this snow it did really look pretty nice last night as I walked home (not all the way from downtown) it was allmost picturesque like I was in a painting. Getting good pictures of the snow at night is tough. If you use a flash it hits the snow and bounces back and if not then the pictures can look dark some other setting focus on the light source. Here are some of my winter adventure pictures.

The Bandits did win and it was a great game with a couple of fights. But it was weird that I couldn't yell really. I knew that if I did I could just get my self real sick again. See before my boss gave me time off I started to get sick and I could feel it in my throat first and then it spreed or at least I could feel it other places I'm still not 100% and know that but I'm a lot better. Before the game I had time to watch 2 completely different movies. One was kinda funny called Crank it was pretty good and was shot kinda weird but I liked it and the other was Babel there is really no good way to explain it other then these families are struck by tradgedy and they are all kinda interconnected with out giving any thing away but I thought it was pretty good.


I guess here are some random Bandits Vs. Swarm Photos.
