Homosexuality and why I can't vote for Palidino

I can't vote for Carl Paladino , granted I didn't see the debate last night. It is kinda based on his stand on homosexuality but I'll get to that in a bit. Yes that was the final straw or maybe really the only straw.

Some might ask why would you vote for that hater. Well he is no different than any one else. Now publicly no one can admit there is some group that they can't stand or who they think are evil. If you think this isn't true just think about Faith and how there is some crazy one out there that is a cult, there is your hate.

Now in Terms of the e-mails that was stupid on two accounts. First of all westernnymedia net or what ever they are called seem to think that they are the shit. Well if you guys are so great why did you post all the e-mails on your site (didn't view them myself) . If they are so evil and so bad why would anyone want to view them.... Also if they are so bad why would you share them, that would make you just as bad as him..... See they aren't bad. Everyone who works in an office or has e-mail has gotten mail that is funny and sometimes offensive and they pass it along to others who they think might think it is funny. That doesn't mean you hate women or want to go on lynchings it just means you think you know someone who might like it...

Now in terms of sexuality. I think that it is fluid and sometimes hard to label. As a society we do so anyways.... I personally think that Homosexuality isn't a sin, it is natural and occurs in nature, that there is nothing wrong with it. I also think that gays should have all the same rights. But I also think that people who think they are sinners and sick have the right to think that and say that. I'm not saying they have a right to attack them or to promote that. But everyone has a right to their own opinion and or faith.

That being said this entire legal thing with don't ask don't tell looks like it may never end. Here is my quick take on that. If you are gay you should have the right to fight for your country. You shouldn't be kicked out for being gay. That being said I have never been in a war and don't know how close quarters things are. There are some things like Football and Wrestling and Pro Wrestling that once it is known someone is gay can become sexual. At first that might sound crazy but think about wrestling with a chick vs. a dude. How you make it fair for everyone and keep people safe I don't have the answer for.....

Now back to Carl. I knew I didn't agree with some of, ok a lot of his views but I was going to vote for him because he was going to try and fix albany. He was going to shake up the system. Coumo is in it to gain I higher office. He is in cause his family is. He lists all this stuff he did as Attorney General like that will make him a good governor. News flash that is what Attorney Generals do is go after crooks but Governors don't so one has nothing to do with the other really. But now I have to vote for the status Qoumoe (however you spell it)....

Carl is supposed to be a man of the people as he would say. Well being real you don't have a speech writer. That is where the problem lies in. If you really don't agree with what was said then that means you didn't read what was written until you said it... Who does that, that is pretty bad I even know to do that I hate public speaking that says some bad things about Carl.... Now the other side to that coin is what if you really do believe what you said. Well then you throw the Rabbi under the bus to save your self.... That isn't the guy who you say you are. The other option is that you took back words you really meant, again that isn't what you are running on..... So I have lost respect for Carl. If he would have said "What I was trying to say or explain is" and made it more clear or stood up for what he really believes and backed it up I think I could still vote for him. But somewhere here he isn't honest and if that is the case then I have no reason to like him.... I think what he was trying to do was to say that kids shouldn't go to a Gay Pride Parade in NYC and that it isn't a kids event and maybe there he has a point.....

On a side note I like that he keeps making it onto the Bill Maher's show on HBO. Yes Bill Maher is funny but they also do talk Politics. What gets lost is that what makes his show good is the guests and the things like craziest politician I wonder if he will beat Linda McMahon?

My Sweetest Day 2010

I can admit my Sweetest Day was kinda Lame. Ok Really lame but I knew there was a strong chance of that. I forget how that Holiday got started but it is all over the net something about giving little gifts or something......

It started out with waking up and going to work. They wasn't so bad... Orders need to be done and it wasn't work that was hard so.... Plus the OT will be nice. But orders have to go so......

I almost went to see Jackass 3D but time wise watching that and what I taped and the sabres wouldn't work out..... Didn't know it was an 8:30PM game. Plus I was tired and Full I mean really full. I didn't know if I would enjoy it as much as I should plus what if I get grossed out and laugh to much either way stuff might hurt or come up so it got skipped.....

On the good side though I watched this really interesting Documentary on HBO (yes it does remind me of me in a few places, kinda scary really) called Teenage Paparazzo (not sure on the spelling). It is done by the guy from Entourage. It is really good and really interesting. It was spawned by when Adrian sees a 13 year old kid as part of the Paparazzi . I found it very interesting......

So Next up was the Sabres. They Looked good in those White Sweaters. I thought those where the Home ones only. Maybe it is like football where the hope team picks the color and then the away team goes with the opposite ? I didn't make it through the entire game but from what I saw the sabres looked good.....

What I wanted to do I decided not to do. At Club W they had a Lingerie show by X-senutals or something like that they would have people modeling it and The Stripteasers where going to be there women that wore Lingerie would get in free (no cover). I'm sure it would have been a great time to ogle at everyone there but there where a few things that kept me at home......
1. Sabres
2. Amy Pohler hosting SNL (that would have been great)
3. 11pm start (not that is so late but when tired it is)
4. Sweetest day= Guessing mostly couples, didn't want to be the creepy single guy at the bar type thing and I had a funny feeling that might happen, I could be wrong on this
5. Again Tired (I bust my ass at work like anyone who does a physical job should, if you do a physical job and don't go home tired then you maybe should write them a check cause you aren't doing your job). But also dealing with people and having a long day 5 days a week is draining. That is one thing I miss about the old Wilson Farms days is not working everyday.......
6. No Cash I would have had to go find some
7. Not really sure if I have the money the spend out on the town: Bills, Halloween, pictures to pay for (Hey being "The Peterazzi" isn't all fun and games), need food, and other things as well
8. Plus once I found out it was a no photos event that kinda took my heart out of it (Well at least for the stripteasers) not sure about the models....

All in all it just didn't feel right, plus I don't want the tiredness to creep into Monday.... That being said if anyone really celebrates the holiday hope they had fun and hope they had a blast at that event last night.....

Chicken Wing Eating contest 2010

Everyone knows that I like to take pictures and I'm not the only one on the site. To be honest even the greatest picture as much as it can convey it can't convey the feeling. George Shea the guy in the hat with the glasses is funny and he plays it up with being overly dramatic. When "The black widow" walks through the crowd you even with a picture from the stage or by someone who knows she was going to do that would be great, you can't get that same feeling. Well hope you enjoy this..... Hopefully some one at least yeah with hear and facebook and webshots (wish I had time for myspace cause they used to have the best way to do photos, yes a slide show right on your page).........

Niagara Falls

So back around the time that I went to The fair I went to Niagara falls between those days. The maid of the mist was a lot of fun and so was The Hardrock Cafe, I posted pictures. But what I never posted cause I forgot to upload them to youtube are two videos of the falls.

Let Me In Spoiler

This is going to be a Movie Review with Spoilers (I tell some of what happened) So if you don’t want to Know what Happens in “Let Me In” then stop Reading NOW!!!!!
With it being a day off, I’m In a sort of Different Mood. I also know that I’m going to try and Watch the Sabres as House and Raw are on so maybe that effects my view. I Know that “Let Me In” is about a kid Vampire and someone finding out but other then that I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t get what I expected.
It turns out there is a cop investigating murders. We as the viewer get to see them. Early on Regan is on TV. People in the hospital have those little white hats. There are no cell phones and no computers so it is a throw back movie. It also like some movies doesn’t follow in straight order. It starts out with a mystery of someone in a bed.
Yes there is a love story in here. Yes there is a weird kid in it as well. This movie has a tie in to some recent stuff with the bully stuff. I think from that perspective it could be interesting to see. The Kid tries to stand up to the bullies the best he can and at first it works but in the end they catch up to him. He stands up to them because of the vampire or maybe it is because of love not sure really. As he is being held under water I thought he is coming up and getting stabbed but she destroys them… They show it in an artistic way off course.
In Terms of Vampire stuff there is some cool stuff. This lady gets attacked and when she wakes up in the hospital they show the blood where the Iv is and you know she has been turned and she feeds on her self. So nurse comes in and opens the curtain to see and she goes up in flames the nurse catches on fire as well from her that scene was pretty cool. I won’t go into all the scenes but when she walks into the boys home with out being invited in she starts bleeding and I haven’t seen that aspect before that was pretty cool.

How to rate it I have no idea. I enjoyed the vampire stuff but wish there was more. I did like that the guy who was killing to get blood for the girl and the scenes he was in where good and very creepy…. He also had a voice that sounded like he did Anime voice work.

Miss Buffalo Wing 2010



A little bit over a month ago I went to the National Chicken Wing festival, yes I admit I'm mega behind the link above may lead to the site where The Peterazzi Ran into some trouble. But these are the pictures from that event. Now I do have to admit that other years They did have kids dancing between events but looking back why would you have kids dance at a Beauty Contest, I know it is also a scholarship program and talent show, but that isn't why people are there to watch it. I also think they need to put some chicken wing stuff back into it......

When Mary Alice Demler 1st came out that was when the "Event" was listed to start and then there was all that dancing. That one thing girl you could see her ribs that was disturbing I couldn't even watch. Then Mary Alice comes out again and here is the rest of the contest and some dancing also..........

Part 2 2010 Chicken Wing Festival Buffet Bowl

I don't think that the united states is the only country that has things like Pie eating contests, but if we didn't invent them then we should have. Nothing is more american then being able to eat a lot of food. This is an age old tradition that goes back a long ways or at least seems to......

So the Asian lady is from Virgina and is known as Sonya "The Black Widow" Thomas. I didn't get a picture where you can tell but after this competition she bought a thing of Kettle Corn. This isn't who eats the most based on time it is 1st one done that at some point they go by weight. Joey Chestnut was there but not to compete he was in that him vs. two teams thing earlier in the day. "The Black Widow" comes in 2nd.

Shonen Knife at Mohawk Place DVD realease Show

So last year I went to see Shonen Knife sure I posted pictures. That show was filmed and this was not really a release party but the final stop on their tour. Here are a bunch of pictures.......

But first I think the opening band was called The Thermidors . I thought they where very good.... The Point is some opening bands are great and some are ok, I think they all have talent it is just if you like how they use that talent. Some people don't watch opening bands and that kinda pisses me off. You know that band you came to see well they where the opener at some time in some tiny place that no one except people in that city know of. Yes for some bands that is years and for some it is weeks but that is beside the point. Watch the openers there have been tours where the next year they where the headliners........

now onto Shonen Knife from last night

Well I think those pictures are a good sampling , it was a great time everyone should go out and see bands at bars (you don't have to drink) and if you can support local bands you like, not sure if the opener was local in this case......
