UPDATE: Just wanted to add a few Pictures!!!!!!!!!


On Saturday after I went to see The Prince Of Persia, I went to tops to get food. When I was there I saw that they now sell Mexican Coke in Bottles. I think they where 4 for 5$ but they where indivual bottles not in a case. When I went to the cold section I saw them there also, man it was tempting to buy a few bottles. But there was also a lot of alcohol I wanted to try. Sminorf now makes a lemonade, like mikes that really looked good.
My Mother went shopping on Sunday so I went with her to Tops Niagara and bought more food that was on sale. Hey I get stuff that I like when it is on sale. It is so weird to go shopping two days in a row. Oh yeah (e:Enknot) it was nice to talk to you for a couple minutes. Tops on Niagara had the Coke in Bottles there also but I had so much I didn't pick any up. One of things I did get on saturday was a recomended by (e:Jason) I think. Johnie Ryan cola was very good and so was the orange thanks........

Both earlier in the month and Saturday at tops and then some sunday really got me thinking about how it is really summer now. Well or maybe it is the temp that makes me think that way. The one thing that I don't like about my place it there is no place to really BBQ, even if it is just throwing something like a burger on for a few. That is because I don't have a porch or any thing. For those of you who do have them be thankful and use them. I mean the porch and or a place to grill if you can do both on the porch even better. There is nothing quite like drinking a lemonade (assuming it is as tastry as the companies make it look) or and ice cold coke (I love pepsi but it just isn't the same image) relaxing on a porch with a tasty burger or some other piece of meat. Yum Summer. This reminds me of an old MTV ad. It went along the lines of Pop It open Pop it open MTV, and they had these summer images, it was great. So on one of the following ads MTV had been on a can and some one pops it open and drinks it and spits it out and the line was "Hey we never said you could drink it", it was to funny back then. But there is something About the Summer and cooking on a grill, or even just going someplace for a burger and looking over the water.

For those that think Summer hasn't started yet The Allentown Art Festival starts in about 2 weeks. There are many people who bash it and they make some good points. But there are also local artists who have some cool stuff there, or atlesat local enough that they are also at the Elmwood Festival of the Arts. I assume that The Allentown West Festival is going on as well, and then this weekend is Pride weekend, other then the Parade not sure what that is so That Area of Allen is going to get pretty busy for 2 weekends in a row I'm sure. Oh yeah wait Sat. I'm supposed to be going to see the stripteasers at Nietheches.

Allentown Art Festival:


Back to Allentown. There is something going on with it that is really going to be pretty cool. If I understand this right on June 12th and 13th at Good Carmel Recording Studios on Franklin (Where music is art used to be) they are having as Mark Freland Display. I admit I'm not really a fan of his art but It will be nice to see. What I want to see is on Sunday 3pm. There will be a MIA press conferance. This I can't miss, I want to get there early. I don't know if it will be inside or outside if there will be 30 or 3,000 people But I want to be there. One other reason is that they had this photo contest last year for MIA and I would like to see the winning pictures and find out who won. I admit If I won something it would be amazing but I'm guessing if I did , I would have been told all ready but hey who knows it should be a great time.
MUSIC IS ART:

MIA on Facebook:
Oh this reminds me of something. At Many events we all wind up people watching. I'm no different. Sometimes my mind is on gettiing pictures of the event. This is why often my camera will be inhand and I run into people and don't think to snap there photo quick if you see the camera just ask and I'll shoot one and we can go back to what ever we where talking about.

Working this week will suck, the hot I can deal with but doing the 5 days work in 4 days will be tough. But this weekend will be fun the party at (e:PMT)'s with the Peterazzi in full effect sunday I'm sure I'll check out the Parade and then Friday stripteasers Hello Summer.

Parade Routes:


Main Page:


Well I Think I have said all about that I can say. Hoping everyone is having a great Holiday weekend, and if it wasn't all ready summer is now here, I just hope we all know how to have that peak amount of fun with out overduing it.

OK PICTURES AT Bottom:

Missing Image ;(

Those are the food and drink photos from tops that I added. Not sure why it adds them to the bottom instead of where the curser is but no big deal............................

(e:Enknot) wrote a great review of Prince of Persia, he did a much better Job then I could do. I thought the movie was very good. It is nice to see a tiny bit of a love story, with one liners, and a good story and kings and battles and action. I thought it was pretty good.

I have to say one thing about the movies that I saw a preview for, and have seen this same preview numbers of time. The A-Team. I have some mixed feelings about this movie.
1. Yes it is great that they Finaly made an A-Team Movie
2. Here is an idea it should have been Made years ago like maybe a couple years after the show went off the air.
3. This Action movie will be Pretty Good
4. Liam Nesson will be Pretty good

But Here is my problem. What made the A-team so good wasn't the action (ok I was little maybe it was the action) it was the same thing that makes House so good. The Characters. Hanibal I can being redone and he will be close. But BA, Face, and Murdock I'm sorry you can't really re do them.

The counter point to that is, even if you had all the same actors it would still be a bit different anyways. Movies and TV are different Media and so they tell the story differently. This is often true of when a movie spawns a TV show think Terminator and Clone wars.

In any Even I enjoyed Prince of Persia and look forward to The A-Team. Even though I have never seen the Cartoon Avatar:The Last Airbender it looks like it will be a great movie also, lets hope so.

So I can admit that I Don't know if I have blogged about Cola before. I don't know if I can say what I'm trying to get across really. I am not going to get into the Soda Pop debate and talk about Ice Cream Sodas and all of that. Doing that is kinda Point less really.

When I was growing up I had never heard of Fago or what ever that cheap Pop that ICP likes go through a truck load full of at a show. When I was growing up there where 3 Colas. They Each had there own taste and there own thing.

Royal Crown was the 3rd Cola but it was on Par (still good) with the other two. I remember it only came in 2 liter bottles. I have no idea how to say it tasted different then Coke and Pepsi but there where those that thought it was the best tasting. I liked it. But now a days it is thought of as the cheap pop and has been pushed to the side.

I admit that I miss those glass Bottles. If any of my relatives are reading this do you remember what that brand was in Glass bottles, I may have had at your home. At the aunts house at christmas there where was this glass bottle soda that I don't know the name of that was pretty good. The point is that Cola or any thing you drink has a different taste out of plastic, Glass or cans. Yes glass breaks and is a mess, but I think that it made the Cola colder, but not sure about that. I loved the Pepsi and Coke out of those tall Glass Bottles. Yes I bought the Mexican (with american stickers of some kind on it) from wegmans. Those bottles I think are smaller then the size the bottles used to be.

I like Coca-Cola. I remember when they Changed their Recipe and it pissed a lot of people off (not when they took the cocaine out I wasn't alive then). People got so upset that they "if you believe them went back to the old Formula. They then called that Coca-Cola Classic and Just kept the new stuff coke so you could tell what you where buying. I admit not sure what wound up happening to that and what you drink it when you drink it now. I like coke because it reminds you of the old times and it has that international tie in. If you have ever seen those ads with the large glass bottles you know what I mean. But there are events like the olympics that they have sponsored since before Pepsi was around. It is a more old time feel and is more classic. That being said it also seems more fizzy also. I can drink Pepsi every day with no problems. But coke does some bad stuff to me if I drink it to many days in A row.

Pepsi is my Cola of Choice. I like the name and the taste better not sure why but it is what I prefer. That being said to me that is the Young, cool, and Hip cola to drink. Pepsi sounds Asian to me, plus their symbol is a take off of a Ying Yang. Their new symbol I don't like as much as the previous one.
I have tried many types of coke and Pepsi. Pepsi Vanilla
tastes like Cola with Vanilla, where as Vanilla coke tastes like Vanilla mostly, Coke wins that one.

For years Cherry Coke was very tasty. The Pepsi fans wanted Cherry Pepsi and I will admit it is Pretty Good but Coke wins out again I'm sorry to say, The Cherry Pepsi (wild cherry now) Just isn't the same. I tried this new Cherry Vanilla Pepsi a few days ago and it was very good.

I can't keep up with all the kinds of Coke and Pepsi there have been to many like Pepsi Blue (that was good) and the clear Pepsi (that didn't always taste the same to me), and the Lemon Pepsi (now only in diet I think) then there was lime or diet coke with lime. I wish I could find the Lemon Pepsi in non diet.

For those of us who are young we think all these flavors are new and great and what a way to make cola taste great, that is true but not really. I found out that back in the old days that this was kinda a standard thing. You could go to a place not sure if they where malt shops, or soda shops or just a place to eat and you could get flavored cola. Now I don't know if the idea was from the people who made the cola or from the shops them selves. I remember being someplace with my family years ago and you could get cola with chocolate added that sounded really good but I wasn't brave enough to try it.

I don't have a point other then to say go out and try some cola someplace, and have a good time.

So Sunday was the Hospice walk I guess I will throw Up some pictues. My Niece Maya was in a stoller and didn't walk in it from what I understand.



































Ok one thing I need to touch on: The Harness: When I first saw them and leashes was in Canada. My first thought was that it was cruel or just wrong. But then once I thought about it, I decided it only looks that way and is really a great idea. The modern form of this is a back pack version. Little kids move pretty fast sometimes and since they are short they are easy to lose, very easy. You try and see someone as high as a pair of knees and and thiner then a pair of normal legs among legs it can be tough. The Back Pack version is even better. I think it is a great idea and wish more parents would do it. That being said it isn't to be used as a leash, like that is far enough from mom come over here so I can emotionaly smother you or a hard tug like you would with a dog. Ok back to the walk.

So Tonight is the Series Finale of 24. Every show must end at some time and now is 24's time. I think that people in the entertainment industry need to come up with some correct terms for when a show ends. I have seen many shows that I really enjoyed Cancelled . When a show is cancelled the Network says no more, we don't want any more episodes, I've also seen shows pulled in mid season when they had more episodes they could show. I don't really get the entire ratings system but that is what causes most cancelations. But then you have other shows Where the story just needs to end. I don't know much about lost, but that is an example. I remember I used to watch a show called Millenium and I thought well once we get into the new Millenium and we all live then what will the show do and it went on. There needs to be a term for when the people who make the show say this is where it ends or they agree with the network that it is time to move on to something else. This is the case of what happened with 24. Keifer acts and produces and he thought this is where the show should end so it will tonight and Cancelled is the wrong word.

24 does have a lot of critics, including people who watch the show. Yes there is a formula they often follow of a mole, and twists and Jack winds up all ways being correct in the end and things like that. But any show has a forumla or a way that it works. I admit I miss the message boards they where a lot of fun aka Forums. Most people where there cause they loved the show. Plus it was fun to guess what would happen, and people would talk about how something didn't make sense, and then others would counter that. But even for those who bashed it some there they where still watching it because they liked it. Yes there where some who did stop watching it but that was the minortiy.

Why I liked it:
1. The Real time thing: Yes there are some little things in it like no travel time, and how do you go for 24 hours with out a bathroom. But it is real TV time, where travel takes how long you say it does and things like that. The time was a bit off becuase of adds. But one thing I really liked about the breaks is when they come back and you get those little pieces of what was going on............

2. Action: There is no way in a blog that I could cover all the action of one season let alone the entire series. The Action scenes are shot great and it isn't just lets blow things up, but that is part of it. It isn't lets just tourture this guy. I don't have a % but many of the scenes also of dialouge. The ones that doen't have talking int hem still move the story along. There have been shot outs and explosions and escapes and all kinds of amazing action scenes.

3. The Story: Lets face it action is great but with out the story it is kinda pointless. With 24 though I think that with a couple exceptions (The Famous Kim cougar story got bashed a lot) the story could hold it own as a series by itself. There are plots and then these people are really supported by these people. Then the people get caught but that is only part one of the plan. My point is that there are twists and turns and the stories are fun.

4. Acting: I can admit that before 24 I wasn't a Sutherland fan. But he does a great Job in 24. I wish I had a huge HD TV so I could see all the facial stuff he does, he really does a lot of it. He goes through all the different emotions pretty well. Yes Jack has cried a couple times and it has always been very convicing even if some don't think it really fit, story wise. He isn't the only one who has done a great Job. There are way to many people to list. Plus that is more of a I like this person and not that person kind of thing also...


The Thing is though that a show can have qualtiy writers and actors and story and all those things that make it a good show, and you still may not like it. A good example of this for me is ER and Dexter. I used to watch ER all the time, I really liked it. The problem was the operation scenes I just couldn't watch so I gave up after some years of watching. The Same thing happened with Dexter. I loved it what a great idea. He is a detective who goes around killing Serial Killers, what a great idea. I loved how he would go into flashbacks about how he learned to kill. One day during season one the gore was just to much so I had to stop watching. That is why I call Dexter the best show on TV I don't watch. I think that 24 is the best show on TV I do watch and one could argue that it is, the best show on TV currently. But after tonight that will be no more.

There is good TV and Great TV. I think the difference is that Good TV you like to watch great TV you watch and can't wait a week to see the next show. It could also be maybe just that each show is connected , that is one of the things that I really like about Heros. That may take over my best spot for shows on TV. Yes I also really like True Blood, but on Cable they can get away with a lot more so I don't know as compairing them is fair.

To Sum up:
Thank you to all the writers and actors!
Thank you Fox for not cutting them down after season 1
Thank you to whom ever came up with the Idea
Thank you to anyone who isn't covered by the 3 above

It is to bad 24 couldn't last more days (seasons) then 8, but it has been an amazing 8 years. If this was another network or another show at the end everyone who worked on the show would come out and bow but it isn't a comedy filmed in front of a crowd. 24 you will be missed Monday won't be the same with out you.

So It dawned on me that I never really talk about wrestling on here. Yes sometimes I may post some pictures but I never really talk about it.

So Yes I'm now officaly old since I think wrestling was better in the old days, yes that makes me old. But that isn't really what I think but there are some things I miss about the old days of wrestling.

When I was growing up you had 3 Major Promoitons AWA, NWA and WWE. You could see all of them on TV if you had Cable. The fact that you had 3 of them was pretty important for a multiple reasons. I guess the biggest is that the product was different. I don't know enough about it to say how exactly but it was different. You would see guys move from AWA on then on up to the big leagues or what ever.

After what ever happened to the AWA things started to change. I'm still not sure when NWA world Championship Wrestling turned into WCW. Yes there where some goofy things in WCW, but I won't get into that. But they also came up with lots of cool crazzy matches that I neve saw. Things like cages on cages and all sorts of stuff. But WCW used to have that if you throw someone over the top rope you are disqualifeid and that changed. But there is a point in time when that was wrestling aimed at the family. I found it funny that the Promotion of the South had the 1st Black Heavy Weight Champion and not WWF.

My Favorite Promotoin was ECW. I loved ECW. I will admit I didn't see it at the very beging but watched it on cable. One Cool thing was the production value was kinda bad, yes that made it cooler. The ECW style was great. It was run by the wrestlers not suits who gave them a story line that didn't fit them. Some people think that ECW was all blood and gore, but far from it. Yes I have seen some bad matches and chanted with Fans You fucked Up You Fucked up. I wish I had, had the means to go to Philly or NYC and be there when people handed objects to the wreslters when they fought in the crowd, that was amazing it truely was. But ECW was also about great wrestlers wrestling. When you saw two or more wrestlers enter for a match you knew what kind of match it was going to be and that was great. Yes I sadly miss ECW and going to the events at ECC.

I can't say that ECW didn't take Ideas from other promotions, cause I'm guessing they did. But WCW and WWF took a lot of what they saw in ECW (TABLES ANYONE, how about when New Jack jumped off a balcony and you see his feet hit the floor before his body hits the table, yeah he fucked up and then goes through the table yes he fucked up his muscles also) and to their viewers many who never saw ECW thought this was WCW's and WWF's Ideas. I remember when WCW wanted to use the tables and the way they made them legal was said they where an extenstion of the Ring, that was two funny.

Well that lead to the Monday Night wars and Yes at the time I think it was great for wrestling. But it also changed things. WWE had tha attitude area and Kids sure couldn't watch WWE anymore. At one time It was like ECW on Friday nights, Smackdown on Tuesday Monday Night Raw and Nirto on mondays and then WCW had Thunder that was on like thursdays. It is hard to remember. Some of my wrestling fans friends make a comment please and help me out here. It was tough for me being a wrestling fan cause Nitro you couldn't tape cause sometimes it would go over by 5 minutes and sometimes 35 minutes it was a a crazzy time. I can remember I would watch one show and tape the other show but then I would have to watch the one I taped before the next episode of it aired, man it was crazy back then.

The Point that I getting to is that I think those wars in the long run really hurt Wrestling. Yes you had Loyal WCW people who hated WWE and vice versa. But what I think it did was that wrestling changed and the two brands got more like each other and that cut down on varitey. In the end it lead to WCW being bought out by WWF. I don't think I will ever forget that night. I was watching Raw and I forget the exact story line something with shane McMahon and they show him on WCW and that was the night that made wrestling much tougher on wrestlers. WWE owned WCW and ECW by then I think in the end they wound up owning the rights to ECW so you might as well say they owned them. So there was only one big Company on TV.

If you didn't like WWF Well that was to bad. Yeah you could see your WCW guys for sometime but it wasn't the same. But what also happened some where along the way was that story line became such a big part of wreslting that it was a soap opera. Yes I do like the story line part of it, it is what brings you back to watch more of it. But this was not the wrestling of old. Yes many things where the same like if you get DQ'd you don't lose the tittle and yes there where a lot of new kinds of matchs. But there was no Variety at all.

I'm a wrestling fan so I'll watch what is on and enjoy the parts that are good, and sigh at the bad shit. Not sure how many years ago I saw my first TNA PPV. I liked it and thought some of it was goofy. I would watch TNA every so often. But it is tough to get into when you don't know the wreslters. I've gotten back into it now Since they Went Live On some Mondays and You got the Old WCW crew Hall, Nash, HOGAN, Flair , Biscoff not all wrestling of course. It is different then WWE and that is why I like it. They had all kinds of things like a 6 sided ring and a six sided cage. They have some pretty good wreslters. My Favorite Wrestler joined RVD. I have all ways loved the wrestling and like how he speaks on the mic where ever I've seen him wrestle.

I know that there is a lot more wrestling then TNA and WWE. There is an entire independent scene that I know nothing about. I think there might even be a lengends league (used to be) where you go to see the old guys wrestle and then they have people wrestle who are young and who you may never even heard of. The Point I'm trying to get to is when will a 3rd Promotion make the National TV scene? I think there needs to be one more. Yes WWE has cut back a lot of the graphic stuff and there are wrestlers like Mysterio and Cena who a lot of kids like. But it would be nice if there was another choice out there. Not only for the fans but for the wrestlers as well. Yes Cutting a good interview (Hot Rod) is important but that shouldn't be what gets you a main event. I just wish there was another wrestling choice so that people would have more of a choice of what to watch.

I know there is stuff that I'm missing and I didn't proff read this so I have no idea if this makes any sense. But if you want to leave comments go ahead..............

This blog is mainly for me but feel free to read it and comment if ya want. Just gotta get this shit off my chest:

What the fuck is wrong with me seriously.

Often Times I just feel like I want to be left alone, I don't want to deal with anyone (This Isn't true of you (e:peeps)). Now I know some of it is just being tired. Plus I have a lot of shit to deal with People wise at work, oh god I don't even want to get into that. I do like people at work, but argh some times the bullshit and lazyness and I can't really explain it. But there is a lot of shit that drives me crazy. LIke today this one person had to leave early and this other person is all nosing into what happened to this person, and the nosy person doesn't even like the other person, arghh..............

I was a single child for a lot of my life so I get the flying solo thing. But still the wanting to just be left alone there is something really wrong with that.

I'm 37 why does my mother, and sis (Neice doesn't really count) want me on a family vacation on a beach. Yeah it will be fun maybe if it happens. But you know what would be more fun, not dealing with them and being alone away from their what ever.

I don't know maybe I just need to find an opeium bar and play Mahjong by my self, argh I don't fucking know. Maybe I just need some Linkin Park or something.

I don't know how to express things in words, so hopefully some comedy will help. I know somethings have to change (less photos for one, not to stop but to cut down on the numbers) but what else not sure, but something needs to.................

So The last time I saw a Robin Hood Movie was most likely the one with Kevin Costner, bye the way what ever happened to him. That was so long ago I can't compare the two. Other then to say if you have seen the ads you may know that this movie is about how Robin Hood becomes Robin Hood. Yes Russell crowe does remind me of this south park episode where he goes from town to town beating everyone one up. Over all I think it was a pretty good movie. They stayed true to it, like they didn't over do the gore or do the artistic blood or anything like that. The only thing that I found odd was and maybe this was just me. The Music and the battle sounds where louder then the talking. It did seem like a battle movie to me, and I liked it.

On Cable I tried to watch The Grilfriend Experance . It stars Sasha Grey, yes the porn star. I can't rate it cause I was to tired to stay awake for it all. It took the form of a narative or kinda a documentary with out being one.

On Pay Per View I ordered Daybreakers. It is a Vampire Movie where Humans are the blood source and they are running out. I thought it was good but thought it would be more something some how, but still enjoyed it.

When I first saw the Hangover I thought it was funny. But I didn't get why everyone thought it was so funny. This changed when I watched it on HBO. Yes the 2nd time I thought it was much funnier.

Amusement Parks have never really been my thing. Don't get me wrong there are somethings I do like about them like Bumper Boats, water slides and that one water ride that you get soaked on. But for the most part I don't like rides.

Part of it is I'm down to earth and like to keep my feet on the floor. But also there is that trust thing. Like does some kid who is doing this for a little spending money during the summer really going to notice if something is wrong with the ride, but that isn't what I'm supposed to be writing about.

I wish I could enjoy the spinning rides. Some of them look so fun. I thin so I get tossed pretty good. My stomach just can't take it. That is the same problem or at least pretty close with flume rides and roller coasters. Do they look fun, yeah of course but for other people. Some of the old ones look so shaky. I wish that I could go on the ones where you hang on by you arms and you go backwards and upside down and your feet dangle over water and all the different kinds they make, but it just isn't me.

Those same kind of feelings go onto other things as well. Is it parasailing where they pull you behind a boat? Looks fun but no way am I doing that. Bungee Jumping in all sorts looks so much fun. But I can't even handle going off the High Diving board, man that huge one at shirkston looked like a blast when I was little, but no fucking way you gotta be insane. I know it can be very dangerous but cliff jumping looks fun to, but not for me. flying through the air looks like so much fun and I wish I could do it but I just can't. Oh yeah how about the Luchadore style in wrestling that looks fun to climb up on something and do a flip and land on someone. But once i go upside down I can't find where my feet are so that is out, wish I could do skiing freestyle but I can't.

Well I guess that is all I can say about that.

So there are many different ways to shop for food. Some people get meat packages from meat places. Some people shop at multiple places in the same day to get their food. I do the getting what is on sale thing. I hardly ever use coupons. 1st you have to get them. 2nd with the savings often times the knock offs are still cheaper.

Price Rite:
It is great for when I'm out of food. It is also great when I buy certain things I like there like frozen pies and such. Well not to mention that they are close. But often times they lack selection. What I mean is that they have a brand of food but don't have all the different verities with in that food.

Tops:
Yes I admit I like them. I go there when stuff I like is on sale. I also like the lay out of the store. I also like the layout of the ads. It also helps that they sell my bus passes. I used to pay bills there. Plus they sell tickets there.

Wegmans:

I do admit that their layout is kinda goofy. What is all that stuff in the middle of the store. But what I like is that to get to the frozen section you don't have to go down isles you just go to that end of the store. I love the beer wall they have in the back that is so nice and I don't like beer. They are over all so much nicer then tops and that is nothing bad about tops.

They also have stuff tops doesn't.





















Thought you might enjoy some pictures. It isn't like I did an entire study or anything just my take on the places quickly.
