Question?

I admit I don't ask for advice on here very often. The Previous post remind me of something. I know there are a few (e:peeps) like (e:Chico) and (e:Vincent) who know how to dress pretty nice. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice of a place to get a nice suit? If it is in the city it would be a big help. I wonder is there any place like around elmwood, well I know of one place but don't know if they are any good. I don't know what I'm really looking for. I don't want to look like a business guy. I love some of those Gangster style suits but would it look right on me and would it really work for a wedding. Then you have the other kinda more Casual looking suits you see in like Asian Gangster movies. But then again I don't want it to look like a costume and as much as I like the bright suits with the matching color shoes I don't want to look like a pimp either. It might also help if I knew how much money I was willing to spend. Any advice or any pointers would be a plus.

The men's department salepersons are really great and very accomodating. I know it is not nearby like Elmwood, but I really would recommend it. There is tailor on the premises and she works with the clients and you will have a great suit that will make you look like a million and you only have to spend a couple hundred (depending on your taste and style). They have great prices! I even looked for a picture of my dad from this year's events, but could not find one that would give you the full view of the suit, they were more candid shots with family. Hope that helps! Is this for the wedding?

vincent writes at 12:31:43 08/09/09 - Comment #50680: I usually would buy a suit @ Joseph A Banks. But you want to find a place that will work with you and kind of has something within a budget. Syms is a good place if you can weed through the stuff you don't want, but if you're looking for someplace local I would suggest M Wyle on Elmwood by the Regal and if you can get out there the Riverside Men's Shop no long in Riverside although it was on Niagara St back years ago but now it's on Sheridan Dr.

metalpeter writes at 07:33:14 08/07/09 - Comment #50654: First of all thanks for the Advice. It would help if I knew what I wanted really. I do have some dress clothes I could wear but I'm thinking a suit might be nice and then I could wear it for other things as well. I may have an old suit some where with pieces all over the place but not sure if that even fits. Again if anyone else has any advice or ideas let me know.

tinypliny writes at 10:32:41 08/06/09 - Comment #50634: All my formal dresses are back home. :/ I am somewhat worried. I mean I could definitely even defend wearing stressed out jeans but a wedding... hmmm.

heidi writes at 08:37:20 08/06/09 - Comment #50625: For a good, proper business suit, I'm guessing Syms at Sheridan & Transit is the best option by quality/price, prolly $200. It sounds like that's not what you're looking for...

For something stylish, cool or funky, which I think you can totally get away with at a wedding if you feel comfortable in it, there's a shop on Allen at Pearl by that kinda nasty corner store. They had really sweet linen Cuban pants & shirt sets recently in light blue, white or black with same-color embroidery. That kind of dressy, but not quite a suit, outfit can be a lot cheaper ($50-$100 with accessories) and might be reusable in a way that a suit might not be.

Good luck!

AC/DC

So October looks like it is going to be busy. For some of you, there was a post you may have read about how it was a weird summer and there where things I was looking forward to. Well after that post I found out about AC/DC coming. It is one of those where I think every ticket costs the same type deal. The reason I'm going is that I have never seen them before, and I have no idea when I would get to see them again. I have a pretty good seat. The two odd things is that is a Sunday Show and that the tickets for the seat I got you have to get at Will Call so that might get interesting. I have to get merch and I wonder if they make shirts for 1 year old girls I hope so. Hopefully I'll Have a new Camera by then and they are allowed.

Less then a week

Yes there is still a Month to go, but Football Starts in Less then a week. The Bills Play in the Hall Of Fame Game. It is the first time I remember them playing in it, does anyone know if this is their first one. I still Have to look up the times and see when the game and Inductions are. I'm going to a Bachelor Party on that Saturday so I hope there is no conflict. I also have to ad that I have all ways been a Madden Fan. I don't care that he Hates the bills and Loves Farve. He doesn't really hate the bills but when he did only NFC games he Never saw them. Bret was a great QB and has had great Perseverance playing in Greenbay is what football is about to some. Besides How bad can Madden be he is a former Raider. That is another reason I liked him. Plus his football games are pretty good. What I can say for sure is him leaving broadcasting will shake up who calls what and we shall see how things wind up. I know lots of people can't get into Preseason Games but the one Next week is one to get into. Well at least until Everyone gets pulled. Well maybe since it is The Hall Of Fame Game maybe they keep all the starters in since it is a special game?

Stressed lately

I'm not really sure why but been stressed out lately. I think some of it is that there will be some work changes and I kinda wish we would get to them and then I learn and try to figure things out. But then there is that other being alone factor. Do I like being alone yes, well kinda yes. It just seems that recently people have had kids, getting married and going to get married. Am I happy for them yes. but it also seems like life is passing me by or something. Then there is facebook. Yes I like facebook but it is weird to see people from high school with kids and stuff. I'm not saying I want Kids. Then it is also true that it seems like a lot of people I went to school with have interesting or meaning full jobs , own a club, parents own shops and that kind of thing. I don't know oh yeah then there are camera issues and now I need a new one. Then like thursday I was all pumped to watch X games and passed out on it. Argh not really sure what I need. Well maybe I a Suicide Girl or Kat Von D to have drug ridding sex with. Yeah that might work, I don't know. Maybe I need to blare some heavy music of some kind. I don't know really what is going on. Well maybe some of this writing helped we shall see got some more picture stuff to do.

metalpeter writes at 06:55:19 08/01/09 - Comment #50492: (e:Lauren) That is a really good comment. Kids for me right now, no way I have enough trouble taking care of myself.

(e:Tinypliny) that is a great point also.

I just wanted to add that I don't know if everything is stress alone. Some of it is like a heavyness feeling that I have no idea how to explain. Then there is that kinda down feeling. But not like I don't want to do anything or maybe it is some kind of emotional tiredness I don't know how to explain it.

I feel better right now but I wasn't do so good at price rite. I went to get food and I'm looking at these frozen pizza bite things and am thinking that I need to get these so I'll have something for lunch and then start to remember how getting them just right in the microwave is tough. But I can't spend money on going out to lunch everyday, ARGGGG. But Got home and watched some X games and felt better.

Not sure what I'm going through really but I'm guessing after this weekend I'll be stressed again. I think part of it has to do the fact that I was kinda crushing on someone or how ever you say that but then those feelings what ever they are went away (well mostly they are gone).

It also doesn't help (had a good time) that I went to a weeding reception for someone who is having a kid and there where all kinds of couples there.

It also doesn't help that I'm fucked up. I do need to mention that there is a weeding that I'm really looking forward to going to and I wish those two people all the best, and I don't think that factors into how stressed or what ever I've been going through lately . Then next weekend I'm going to a bachelor Party for a weeding I'm not invited to and that should be fun (don't think I can stay for all of).

Did I mention I don't know what to do about my camera. Maybe I'll make up my mind this weekend. I'm hoping the stressed out ness doesn't come back but I'm guessing the being down or what ever it is will, but let hope not.

tinypliny writes at 03:24:54 08/01/09 - Comment #50488: Don't worry. I think the alone stress is a lot more manageable that having relationship stress - which is worse because you are constantly afraid of treading on people's toes etc. If you are out today shout out a hi and I will holler back! :D

lauren writes at 03:16:04 08/01/09 - Comment #50487: I have that feeling too...a large majority of the people i knew from highschool are married or have kids or both and im like..uh, did i miss the boat? course, the thought of having kids right now scares the bejesus out of me...so i secretly hope that when they see my facebook they are going... damn, maybe i should have waited.. :)

More Garden Walk

I'm having some issue with posting the pictures to webshots if these aren't enough for anyone I'll mention when I do have them posted there. Well here are some more of the garden walk.

Well that should be plenty for now. With all these multiple sites I thought I should mention one thing. With Facebook I started at the end of the photo album and picked randomly where here I started at the beginning so there shouldn't be any of the same pictures.

Few Garden Walk shots

I have so many pictures from the Garden Walk that I don't know where to start. But because of time I will post some for now and maybe this will be a few everyday thing? It was a great time it really was even with the flood that killed my camera (well it still takes pictures).

Well that is plenty for now. Oh these aren't up on my webshots page yet. For some reason it and firefox didn't get along so I'll try on Tuesday maybe with Safari and see what happens.

The Great Flood that almost Killed him

Yes He was out and about at The Garden Walk when the blowing rain came out of no where. So he thought he was safe until today when he was taking pictures and out of no ware his screen went dead. So he was shooting blind. Hopefully where he got it will fix it for free that may be a Monday or Tuesday task. Well here are a few photos from "The Flood" . It was also a weird weekend since he was propositioned for drugs then the same guys wanted to know if he could help them out, what, you sell drugs help your self out. Then on the way home was told a black lady who he thought was asking to talk to someone behind him that she wanted to know if he wanted his dick sucked and that she swallows. That is something you can't really get on the street unprepared for. He of course said no and ran into a buddy of his it was strange.

So Two Pictures before the flood but during the rain where added

Prom Night In Mississippi

Last Night On HBO I watched Prom Night In Mississippi . I thought it was pretty interesting. Going into it I was thinking about how strange it is that some place Has White Prom and a Black Prom. Then I thought but in some ways it does make sense. What about the white people who don't like R&B and the blacks that don't like Hard Rock. Their are other culture things that might clash also. But then I thought but wait the school is mixed so some friendships will cross racial lines. The Movie does give the history of this town and how the school got integrated and that was interesting. The town is where Morgan Freeman was born, and he had this idea to try and intergrate the prom Years ago but was turned down. This time they excepted. It seemed like most of the kids wanted the prom it was parents who didn't, Hey Morgan paid for it so why not try it. It turns out that some parents still made a white prom but it wasn't school sanctioned and they wouldn't let anyone film there. I found the movie pretty interesting, I still wonder if the Cameras effected what people said. I also watched an interesting follow up that is like 20 minutes from a year after the prom. Race relations sure seem complex down there, ok everywhere really.

Viewing Parties

So Mike came over to watch the UFC pay per view maybe about a week ago. It was a good time. Other then like my landlord I couldn't tell you the last time I had some at my place. The thing is In the past I used to all the time. Some times people from work, not where I currently work. I used to get WWE, WCW, ECW events at one point it might have been like once a month. Some how now I have all this stuff and no place to put it, so that is kinda out of the question. But it would be fun again sometime to get another PPV of some kind and like plan it and have people over, but we shall see.

Last night I was thinking about this again as I was Watching True Blood (again a great show, never read any of the books). There is this scene where they are in a Vampire Hotel and there is what looks like this huge Flat Screen TV. My first thought was wow that would be nice to have. My second thought was hey that would be great to watch this show on with like a group of people. There are people who do this with other shows not sure if that is the same thing as viewings or not. Then that got me to thinking I would love to have a nice sofa, or what ever that thing is called that looks like one but turns and some of them have foot rests.

I do know of a couple who would like to watch True Blood but who don't have HBO and did think of inviting them over but, not in the shape my place is in they might never talk to me again. But who knows maybe it will be nice enough by the time 24 starts up or maybe even by the time the 3rd season of true blood starts. Hey but then again who knows.

Other then for the Superbowl and PPV's I don't think I have ever been to some Else's home for a viewing, well except for one of Drew's movie nights that was a good time.
