So I know it may seem kinda silly to write about ways to improve Facebook, and it kinda is, but this is what I feel like writting about.

1. There needs to be a dislike option. I get that with like and dislike you would need a term to take the like off of something but that could be unlike and for dislike it could be nuetral. I get that they maybe don't want there to be bashings but the fact is that, political stuff and news stories have really taken over and it isn't right that you can't go I disagree or dislike something cause it is bad news, like a break up or something......

2. Facebook is really great at friends. They have this matrix where you can see what is the most popular and the posts are all over the place time wise. What they need is like some other sites is a way that shows who has looked at your wall posts, pictures indivual, and albums. This would include friends and non friends. Here is a perfect example of why. I went to an event at club diablo and friend requested one of the ladies in one of the bands (polly punkneck). So when I go on her page I saw a few pictures of her that where tagged so I checked out the album. There where a lot of great pictures of club diablo. Well if you aren't friends you can't say anything about anyones pictures, but they also don't know if anyone has looked at them. This would be true of the zombie walk pictures I have. I have no idea if anyone looked at them. Often times you might like someones pictures but that isn't enough to be friends over one event picture set.................

3. Facebook needs to use pop ups as new pages. This would make it so much easier to keep caught up. Say you are scrolling through what people have posted then you see a note or pictures you want to see, well when you click on it it takes you off that page and then when you are done you have to scroll back. Hey if you have hit older posts for the 2nd or 3rd time do you really want to scroll through all that stuff again....

4. More langauges. Yes Pirate is fun but they need more. How about Yoda. You could even have accents from all over the country........

Well those are the ones that come to my mind quickly

So today at work I started to read this story about the HSBC Tower. I had to stop this entire thing is so stupid and so crazy and makes no sense.

1. The Tower they are in is fine and works, you don't need to move anywhere.
2. The signs on that building are so high up everyone in downtown Buffalo sees it, once you know that it says HSBC it is the worlds largest add. You can see that Building on the over passes out by the Boulvard Mall. That is a signature building that you can see way down elmwood (never tested to see how far), that is great advertising and has a value you can't really price.
3. Why build a new building when you have empty space in downtown, Um Hello the Statler Towers anyone???????????????????????

Don't even get me started on the fact that people want to do all kinds of land transfer stuff, when HSBC hasn't even made up their mind. ARGH

This really was a fun event with all kinds of fun music and side show stuff.....

The Holy Roller Sideshow

I loved the Guitar Playing but had trouble hearing the lyrics, I don't think it was them I think it was me........


Ok Back to the sideshow stuff


ThE strIpteasers:


So it dawned on me that I missed like the laying on glass part and some stuff but for now this is good enough I still have more to post, this saturday is coming up soon, I'm going back to Blink and 464 to buy stuff and see more art............... so hoping to post all the pictures by then but who knows I still have to try that virus stuff suggested last post.

So at hoping to get back to the garden walk but after I posted some and the web crashed I'm sick of posting them. So I thought I would post some Photos from The Coney Island Cockabilly Side show (or what ever it's offical name is). It was a great time to see bands that are rockabilly and to see the sideshow stuff.


The 1st performer was Hickory Hawkins


So as an example of how this show kinda went down is an act would preform then as the change over was going on they would do the side show stuff, like the big rat trap, or mouse trap or the guy getting out of the stright Jacket:

Next Up Jason and The Punknecks I really like the chick she is really hot and had a great voice and sounds so sweet of stage, oh yeah the hair is awesome also, plus the music was pretty good to, sorry I don't know enough about it to describe it....



Well time wise that is it for now, I really need like my own computer that is by the TV so that I can do Photo stuff like download and upload with out missing any thing, by the way speaking of that does anyone know of (yes have norton) a legit free place that scans your computer for virus. The way the internet just slows to a crawl sometimes makes me wonder......

I was working on garden walk part 3 and Safari crashed so by by Journal for now.............. I was hoping the newest pictures would be in My Gallery but since I couldn't hit publish they are not, ah oh welll..........

The Internet and This computer are so frustracting. It seems I all ways have time and then for some reason something all ways decides to move super slow out of no where or pictures don't upload or work or something all ways go wacky. Well here are more pictures from The Garden Walk



Well that is my time. I'm glad I got up Grandma's garden, that is tough to describe had food and Chees and and kinds of things, that one with the bowling balls was pretty cool also......

So I first of all have to say that it was nice to go to some places I haven't seen before, then stumble onto Gardens I didn't even plan on going to. I thought it was great and funny some guys on Richmond where selling Beer for a Buck and set up a Kissing Booth. Then in Grandma's Garden she had food she wanted you to eat, wish I was brave enough to eat the Vegan Chilli, with her she wanted to show people what they used the garden for, I saw a lot of great places and had a good time, even with getting soaked. We shall see how many pictures go up with the small amount of time......


I don't know if it is clear how high up the bird house is in that tree. In that same place is where the have the church and grave yard and all that stuff on the side of the house well there is a sampling. If I'm lucky maybe i'll get all of this weekends stuff up by next weekend oh yeah I haven't posted the Zombie walk to webshots yet so who knows. I really need my own computer or maybe two to do photo and internet stuff. Hope everyone had a great weekend, argh work is to soon......

So I'm really liking summer so far. I didn't think that their would be outside multi media stuff at 464, I would have liked to stay for it, but had some what of a headache and figured it was time to go. I think the Headache was caused by those two color 3D glasses. What is supposed to happen is your brain is supposed to take the two images of your eyes and over lay them, yes it makes a blind spot. But with me I see the blue on one side and the red on the other. But this makes me think back to when I took some eye test years ago and you look through this thing with light on each side and back then my mind had trouble yes I often saw the stuff on the right as on the right and the stuff on the left as on the left and they didn't integrate . Maybe this has something to do with why I like the old style 3D movies better and why often in these new ones nothing comes at me, I can feel the movie but sometimes have a headache. That being said there was some great art and it was a great time. I also wonder if this has something to do with that I seem to get that so many times in life People want to take simple things and make the complex actions, and often times Things that are complex and have many layers people make simple in their views....

In any event here are some pictures:


Again I have to say there was some amazing art work, there some of that I'm looking into buying maybe on tuesday.......

So Just wanted to throw this out, garden walk just started and I will be there in some form should be interesting today and sunday. I love that all these people descend into my hood, maybe I'll see some of you out there

Last night 464 and the 3D stuff was fun. I think the 3D gave me the headache. Turns out that with the two color glasses I looked up a light and saw a rainbow well ok color specturm felt like being dramatic. but I see blue out of the right eye (wasn't it green though) and red out of the left. Ones brain is supposed to combine them and yes the 3D effects looked different kinda from each eye. Maybe this explains the 3D movie thing....... Oh yeah it was great to see you @heidi (I think I might have talked also, HA).

Tonight planning on go to Diablo, that should be a good time. I admit I only listened to like one song from one of the bands. Hoping my pictrues come out good. Wish I could drink at the bar and take pictures but then you get the mirrors on the stage and I wish I would good enough to take pictures that way but no way am I......

Sweet the Photos work here are some pictures from the Italian Festival


Glad the photos upload works now I think you get the point, I wish I would have seen the precession but oh well...........
