The Bail out and why it shouldn't happen

Yes I get that we are in troubled times economicly. I also know that a lot of people are saying the bailout must happen so the entire system doesn't crash. But why should the Tax payers have to pay for people making mistakes. I think the people shouldn't. Hey if you give out a loan part of the risk is someone won't pay it back, that is part of a free economy. Yes the government should help people but it isn't there job to save people who took a risk. If I go out side and trip and hit my head next time I'll learn to catch myself but if I know mom is right behind me and will catch me when I fall I won't care and I'll keep tripping. I think the same thing is true here. If the government bails out these places then they will do something else that they wouldn't normally do or take that extra chance because they know if there is a crash the government should help. I think as a nation we have to cut back on how we use credit. I know I used to live on money I didn't have and charge Christmas gifts and all kinds of things I couldn't buy. And yes I did get bailed out, and hopefully I'm wise and it doesn't happen again. But see I didn't have a house and car and I wanted to keep up with the other soccer dads. Hey maybe some great deal will get worked out and laws will get changed and great depression won't hit anytime soon. But if we don't go back to the only buy what you will have the money for after the interest is added and all the taxes the country will wind up in trouble yet again and nothing will be fixed. On a side note If I had extra with the way stocks crashed I might buy a bunch of them now. Or maybe I would wait for more panic to set in and have prices fall even more and then I could buy lots of stocks. When I was a kid (could be wrong) Banks where state wide and you couldn't have banks in multiple states, maybe that was a good idea. Hey if Key bank fell it would only Hurt People in this state. I'm not saying I'm an expert I just think that in a free economy where there is risk and rewards that someone who risks and loses everything shouldn't be saved. I'm not some huge Capitalist but if that is the system we are going to use lets stick with that system. Hey Socialism is fine but that isn't our economic system so we shouldn't use it to help the rich. I also fear that no matter what happens some how this is going to wind up making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

So much sunday sometimes nothing....

I'm sure I have said this In a blog before but I find it odd (maybe it just that I have a lot of interests not sure) that there is either nothing on TV I'm into or there is a bunch of stuff. A good example of that is Sunday night. 8-10pm on Fox is Animation Domination (The Simpsons and Family Guy are the best two of all four). Then at 9pm you have Desperate Housewives (I have no idea why I like that show) Also at 9pm (to graphic for me) is Dexter followed by Californacation [awesome show haven't seen the new season yet] then on HBO is Trueblood. That is followed by 3 new shows and then repeats after them it is Entourage (good), Little Britten USA (passed out on) couple minutes I saw was good and some animated show The Life of Tim or something like that. The way these shows line up they over lap with this show on just blanked if it is IFC or Sundance I think IFC called Z rock. It is a funny show about this rock band who because they haven't made it is also a kids band and does kids songs, it is a pretty good show. This is why I'm glad Time Warner has the Indemand stations that way you can try and catch stuff you missed once it get added to the station. What bothers me about Time Warner (maybe this has changed) is they and WIVB can't get along and it looks like they might lose them. I'll be honest I never watch channel 4 except For Football. I hope Time Warner knows that if people lose football games they will turn Cable off, I hope WIVB isn't trying to rip off Time Warner based on this fact. I have no idea who is in the right but they need to work it out so I can watch football. OH yeah and I forgot on Sunday Nights there is football to watch also if it is teams I'm into.

Chris Rock SNL

So not sure if this is going to work, I didn't But that is ok here is some Chris Rock Comedy from Bill Maher that kinda has to do with some of his Comedy Special that was on Last Night.



I thought Chris Rock was pretty Funny. It was kinda interesting since it was taped from 3 or four locations and mid joke he would switch outfits. I still found it funny though. The reason for the switch was that it was the same joke from a different location I found most of it funny, political, dick, race and all kinds of stuff was covered.

What I was trying to post of Video of was Tina Fey (i love you rape me with Polar so I can have your babies, she is hot) As Palin from SNL last night, it wasn't on You Tube yet, oh yeah did I also Mention I love Anna Faris (rape me please and make me your sex slave). It isn't just that she is hot I have seen her in a bunch of those goofy parody movies. Last nights episode was pretty good top to bottom. So here is a link to the page of the video

Lots of stuff going on?

So today on my way down Elmwood I saw a few things:

-Pano's is open and lots of people where there
-A bunch of bikers (bikes not motorcycles) in front of campus wheel works
-scion set up near globe market
-Setting up for Rockn at the Knox (B52 and other perform)

Then today there is a hip hop show on Tonawanda St. not sure where exactly if I new how to get there I might go. My cousin band sometimes performs with another band and they sound pretty good together Dali's Climax .

Around 5 today they are having this red carpet event for the Sabres to Play The Maple Leafs, that sounds pretty interesting. I didn't see the game listed on TV any where I have to maybe check out the buffalo news and see if they have any info about that.

Last night I tried to be all Political and watch the Debate then go right to Bill Maher. Sorry I couldn't stay awake for it, but at least I saw Maher this morning. One of his Guests (not a panel guest though) was Chris Rock, he is pretty funny. Rock has an HBO Special on at 9pm tonight. I hope it is really good and really funny. Not sure if it is live or taped. The reason I say Hope is because some of his stuff is funny and some of it isn't. That isn't just true of him but of everyone I have seen do comedy.

I'm sure there is other stuff that Is going on that I don't know about hope everyone has a great rest of there weekend.

Sabres Puck drop

So On Saturday with about 2 hours of sleep I went to get Hockey Tickets at the Sabres Puck drop and watched the Scrimmage. It was a pretty good time. I hope they have a great season and Hope they win or at least play very good at the 4 games I'm going to. On a side note before I put pictures up I hope those who looked at my previous post liked it. If for some reason you didn't see enough pictures they can all be seen on my webshots page.

Diablo Purgatory

So I don't know really how to describe it other then to say that There where these leather type crop things that looked kinda like pomp pomps that the girls would hit guys on stage with and the other way around. Through the entire show there where DJ's spinning (and I liked the music) then they had a few what they called acts mixed in between other stage stuff. This guy brings this girl out with a dog chain and a ball gag in her mouth and a bitch shirt. So he throwers her around and whips her and stuff and then she turns the tables on him and gets to whip him. There was a nurse and a surgeon the surgoen puts the nurse in the chair and binds her there and puts tape on her mouth then cuts he leg with a small blade and licks the blood. She also rips her top off her nipples are taped and she pulls the tape off her mouth and puts this metal thing in her mouth to keep it open and gets this huge Surenge (NO Needle) and pumps what looks like blood in her mouth closes her mouth and swooshes it around later she spits it out all over her self. I have to admit that was kinda hot. Between acts they also used this plug in thing that had an attachment that looked like a hook and another one that looked like a rake of some kind, not sure if they were hot or virbrated or gave off shocks All I could tell is they glowed in color. The final act Looked pretty painful. this chick put these long needles in this guys skin some of the pictures you will be able to tell. Some of the stuff was pretty cool but some of it wasn't my thing.

I think I need to mention the lady factor. The ladies on stage looked pretty hot. The bartenders where pretty hot also. Jen Parker is amazing she really is. She had on Chaps and sort of like a thong on so you could see this giant tattoo. then she wore not shirt and had her nipples covered in some kind of paint it looked like. There where a lot of hot ladies there also of all kids one girl looked just like Tina Fey then there where some with the small kinda fetishy clothes. And that brings me to something interesting that happened. I think this one girl came with a guy (yeah I checked her out that is how I noticed) and there was this other girl who was really into the show. Some people in the crowd where dancing and having fun with each and smacking asses. So I didn't know it at the time but all the acts where over and the DJ was spinning and I look over and this one hot chick has her shinny top pulled off her shoulders and the other girl is eating her it was so nice to see, I have heard of that but never seen it in a bar before then they kissed oh yeah that was hot (now somewhere in this process I'm not sure where I heard whats your name) Then the girl in black with the pretty like brown boobs kinda lifted up the other girl (school girl) up on the bar and went down on her. It was hot but kinda surprising so I wasn't even able to get my camera. But see when you see two people who are just having fun and into it it isn't the same as Porn.

Do to the time factor of me having so much to do and so little time a few pictures. It is tough when I have so many places to go on line like (e:strip), myspace, fubar, Webshots (picture site), e-mail to read and then other stuff to. Next post hockey Pictures

Oh yeah my trip home was interesting I got to see some dude get thrown to the ground in front of Jim's Steak out for stealing the tips. The weird part was they didn't yell to the cops he just kinda walked away.

Prof that I'm out of my mind......

Here is what I'm trying to do. Shortly I'm heading downtown to go to Club Diablo. They are having some Fetish Performers who hit the stage around 10 there might even be Multiple stages but don't think Diablo is big enough for that. Then I want to go down to HSBC Arena for the open Practice that starts at 10am and Sabres tickets go on sale at 9am. If the arena was open tonight I would just wear a Hoodie and sleep there, but it isn't. I will be amazed if this works. I wish I had enough money to go to 5 games I think I have enough to get tickets to 3 of them: The Penguins on December 22nd, the Ducks in Late Feb. and in Nov. the Columbus blue Jackets I would also like to see the kings game and there is another team that I saw that I won't get tickets for. I guess they are having a Hockey Games out side and then inside they will Reveal the 3rd Jersey and will be taking pre orders. Not sure If I'll be able to get that but I'll think about if it looks pretty cool. I wish I could stay at Diablo till 4am and then find something to do from 4 till 9 but I have no idea what I could do down there, wish there was something than after the practice I could sleep but it looks like I'll head home and turn on the alarm and get my bank stuff together so I can figure out a way to deposit my check to, it is already a crazy weekend.

MIA Part 2

The stuff that looks streaky is fire dancing. There are different kinds of it this one looked like baton shaped things with fire on the end of it. If you want to see the fire you can't use a flash so you get the movement as streaks. I also enjoyed Amungus but getting pictures is tough with it being dark and blue lighting then there are effects on the screen and then you had the dancers and they have different light on them. It is also trying to learn what settings work or look the best. Sometimes the ones where the people come out brighter they also wind up blurry so it was kinda nerve racking.

When I first posted I mentioned that I didn't have time to post more pictures and that is true. It seems that it is tough or at least for me who has a lot of interests (sports, internet, tv shows, porn [need to get some new ones], music, concerts) to transition from summer to fall. All at once you have stories you like and Football on Sunday and soon Hockey. Plus there is that wake up early for work thing also so it feels like I have no time. On Monday as an example there will be a football game and wrestling on (not sure what game) and at the same time Prison Break and Terminator are on But Heroes starts up again and I'm really into that, we shall see how this season goes. But see during the summer with a few exceptions there are not to many sports and all the shows are repeats well most at least. The jump isn't a subtable one either. Hope everyone had an Ok Humph day or is that Hump Day and has a good rest of the week and weekend.

MIA 2008

I did enjoy myself at MIA yesterday and I did buy some art. There where all kinds of art there on display and some where you could watch the art over time. There was some dancing I didn't see because I wasn't quick enough to the stage. You have to give the dancers a lot of credit. Some of them where all over that wet nasty grass. I still think that it was Better when it was in allentown but I get that is not a reality anymore. So the Albright Knox was a pretty good spot. I admit the rain really started getting to me. Oh yeah (e:jim) and (e:james) it was nice to see you two there I think I saw another (e:peep) but I wasn't sure if it was them but the person looked like someone but I wasn't sure.

One really cool part was When a couple member of Klear played a song with Ryan Miller and Drew Stafford on drums. I wish they had more then one song to Play with Roby but that is ok it was still pretty interesting.

9/11 and freedom

I thought with today being 9/11 I would get into some of my thoughts about it and have no idea where this post/rant is going to go.
-9/11 wasn't the first Terrorist attack on America they tried to blow those buildings up once before oh yeah and there was the Oklahoma City bombing. But it was the most dramatic.
-I think it is sad that all those people died. But what has happened since has been even sadder. We used it as an excuse to go into Iraq. Every plane in America was downed but yet we flew the Bin Laden family around. The part that sucks so much about the war is that we have lost more people in the war then in the attack. So I think that the terrorists got what they wanted. Not to mention all the deaths of people in Iraq. Then the groups that where somewhat forced by Saddam to get now kill each other. If you really think about it and let it sink in it really is pretty sad.
-Terrorism and 9/11 has been the excuse used to take away some of our freedoms with things like wire taping and other things. I think those first one where a test to see if they work and then see what else can be taken from us.
-I'm not just bashing Bush here. It is our Middle East policy that most likely got us attacked. Anyone remember that Iraq used to be our buddy and then once they went into Queit they became evil and we went to war with them Desert Shield then became desert storm.
-I was going to search on line and find all those nice pictures of firefighters with angels and all that stuff. But the problem is those are often used in the Remember September 11th movement. That is often used as a way like put the attack in the wrong light and say that going into Iraq and giving up our rights so we can feel free is a good thing. I don't think it is. I think when we remember Sept. 11th we should understand that it happened because there are people in the world who hate us, and then try to figure out why they hate us. Then if we can figure that out see if they might have a good point. I suspect that between us being friends with "the jews" and sticking our noses into places that we aren't wanted that could be enough to piss anyone off.

-Hey if we stop making enemies then we won't have to worry about being attacked and there won't be another 9/11. I guess my main point is that as sad as what happened is what has happened post 9/11 is worse. I know if I hated America For there freedom I would be so happy to see us lose our freedoms and Liberties like how we are. I hope I'm wrong but I have a feeling that it is only going to get worse and then McCain Or Barack won't really make anything better.
