Shrek The Musical

So I can Admit that my Lame Ass has never been to NYC... Not even to see a Musical .... Hoping th change that this spring or summer and that brings me a question to my NYC (e:peeps) and Visitors of the city I know there are a few but won't say any by name I have a question ok maybe two Questions...

What is the Distance from Grand Central Station to Times Square?
(Blocks or in minutes walking, on a first visit don't want to try and learn the subway and wind up in Red Hook or the South Bronx)

Also What is the Distance from Grand Central Station to Broadway?

I'm thinking of not sure if it will happen to go by train and just explore for a day or go see what I can find.... Flying seems crazy cause that means I have to an airport and do the security thing and the pat down thing and get an x ray and even with the x ray take everything out of pockets then fly to NYC then from there find a way into the city and then after all that repeat that in reverse no thanks..........

Now The reason I mention the NYC thing is that it is important to this musical... I have never seen the Disney ones like The Little Mermaid or The Lion King (by the way Disney borrowed that story for those that don't know) So I don't know if some of things I saw where a mockery of them or just because of my where I was sitting.... Here are the two examples.... There is this Big Dragon and you can see the people in black out fits working it..... Yes there was some smoke but not enough to cover them up.... My first thought was well I bet from far back you can't see them in the lighting I bet in the balcony they are hidden.... Now as you back up the seats go up and from where I was there was this effect where a screen comes down and the people's feet are rats. I could see their legs.... So I wonder are these things that are bashing Disney and big musicals or is that they are made for people in the center to see only really....

What I liked about the Shrek Movies and it holds true here is how they Bash Fairy Tales and they do a great Job here doing it as well yes the lion king gets dissed. To be clear there aren't really any songs in Shrek the movie but the songs in the Musical are great and funny... Now that being said a lot of the Sexual jokes aimed at adults aren't in the Musical but that is ok Not sure if they would fit really... Now that being Said My Favorite part was Donkey he was great and I loved how he sang and talked kinda reminded me of Corey Glover I think from Living Colour singing wise... An it isn't just cause he was black... Then they do this big song at the end of the play after the standing o and Confetti rains down it is great... Is It a bit over the top Sure but all Musicals are.... Hey how can you not like a musical that is a love story and kinda a fairy tale that mocks fairy tales and is funny.... It was a great time now for some pictures (oh pictures of the performance are strictly prohibited so I didn't take any but this is before and after and the Journey)........

Time and a few thoughts

First of all thanks (e:tinypliny) for the invite to the Yoga class.... Hope everyone had a great time.... That pose in your Post I could never do that... That is some extreme body control... With all the Abuse I put my body through Yoga may have been a good idea... But I have no work out clothes then what do I do with all the stuff in my pockets and where to change and all that stuff argh.... Not to mention I have so little time......

I really do need more time with waking up and going to work and coming home it feels like a long day every day.... Not sure if it really is.... What I think this is leading to is that I will go and get my own computer when I get my taxes back. Yeah I over paid a bit at H&R block but the thing is no place does the state for free so If I was going to pay I might as well pay and not do any work then pay and still have to try and figure those things out.. I took all kinds of math in school and doing the state taxes is almost at that level...... See If I have my own computer I can do things like post photos here and download them and upload them as I watch a show... Now an action movie or show that would be out since the action you need to see..... I could even do stuff on breaks....

I don't like to mention work but it has been stressing me out lately maybe that is part of the reason I feel as though I have no time... Or maybe I just need a "Happy Ending Message "... Quickly I hate that I can't spell worth shit that is the wrong word but you all know what I mean (assuming anyone is reading this)... But I don't think it is really the time issue I think well I know I have some anger issues and some dealing with people issues.... But yet for some reason none of you (e:peeps) make me upset maybe it is an amount of time thing.... I think I might have PTSD.............

My thoughts on PTSD have changed a bit lately. At first I thought it is the military's fault for not training people the right way. But as I thought more that isn't true. What I think happens is that when you are in a war zone your body adapts you could even use the word evolves. Some where along the way you learn or maybe it is instinct like an animal that hunts and you learn to watch for things that are warnings or could lead to danger... It could be things like watching your shadow walking home, listening to all the sounds, when you see a person gaging if they are walking towards or away from you (blocks away)... But see I don't think this is a Disorder I think it is a way to survive... In the case of people in the military the problem is that they are no longer in a war zone (unless they live in a bad part of the city) ..... Yes there are other effects like loud noises freak them out again in a war zone that might be ok but a in a city where cars back fire all the time it can be a problem... But again The problem isn't with them it is that the environment doesn't match with them.... I do think that people who have it bad should be helped my the Military so that if they want to go and fight they can or so that they can work a normal job or what ever....

In my case: At work I'm all ways looking around seeing what is going on. But part of that is that I don't just do one thing. I need to access the situation. If the guy filling the line is running low I need to pick orders if that person has the line full then I need to help box... Once my boxes are backed up I need to send them through.... Sometimes the line orders are less important then the truck orders so I need to look and see what the stack looks like. Every time that door opens it could be someone bringing out more orders if it is what kind of orders are they and what does that mean for what I need to do... So maybe if that is PTSD it is a good thing to have at work or maybe it just seems like some of the same things.... Walking at night is all ways a blast..... But you know what is wild I could walk the streets of Toronto with 7 gangs and I bet I would feel safe something about those streets make you feel that way... But Buffalo you had better be ready to fight or run... Ok even during the day I'm often accessing the situation (not the guy from that Jersey show I've never seen).......... Not to mention in winter I have to look and see if there is ice to walk on .....

The Last two days I've taken the #22 home and that is kinda weird going past the Pilgrim Village... I used to be over that way all the time... It is also weird to see all the new stuff on City Honors and there is some huge building being built behind "The Village" that is kinda odd.....

Yesterday on Facebook I saw that for only $1200 a month there is an apartment above Club Diablo.... Wish I could swing that, it would be perfect.... Granted I think everything is included.... I would love to live downtown I would be right at Diablo and near the arena and the square and not to far from the waterfront it would be awesome but of course moving would blow hard. Why is that we use that as a bad term getting blown is great and often a key part to great sex......

All in all I am happy being single doing what a want to do and not being bitched at and not having to go yoga or some activity and then making someone else go to something they don't want to go to..... That being said I'm not anti Yoga... A cousin of mine was in a class for some time and really liked it.... But on the other hand finding a nice "Pin Up" girl who isn't controlling would be cool.... Again I like being single but after some time I think one starts to lose ones mind a bit...........

I had some other point or something I wanted to get to but it got lost in here someplace......

Warm Spring/winter?


So these last few days have been odd to say it has been warm would be wrong but to say it is warm compared to what we have would be correct... Snow and Ice Is melting and when I have been walking it feels like St. Patrick's Day... Well the truth is there have been many times when it has been like a Frozen Tundra watching that Parade.... Not sure if i Did it right but I copy the address at the bottom of two Posts from last year... Of course I have no idea what will go down this year or what date the parade is but I'm sure many people will enjoy it... It is hard to explain the feeling in the air of St. Patrick's day though.......

V day Vs. BJ Day

So Valentine's Day is quickly cumming I mean coming at us... Ha And it got me thinking not about how I hate it but that around March 14 Steak And Blow Job day is cumming I mean coming as well. That is supposed to be like the Male Valentine's day. But I mean is it really can I walk up to the hot hostess at Applebee's and ask why the Steak and Blowjob Special isn't on the specials board?

Now what I wonder is there a way to connect the holidays.... Don't get me wrong I don't like the idea of Valentine's day that you are obligated to do something the bigger the thing is or more costly then the more you love (or want to do something really dirty and kinky with them) Them. Well does a good Valentines day mean a steak and then a blow job under the table. Then it is the biggest steak in the place so leftovers and a BJ in the car... Then there was ice cream so licking the sauce off the cock later in the night... Since Valentines day doesn't mean very much (to some for a few it is like making the romance to a higher level and I don't mean a Key party) really then you might as well tie it into the other holiday.....

When I wanted to write this I did have a question I mean a real question for the single guy is it worse to be alone on what holiday? -Valentines's there is all the candy but yet you don't need to spend money or use a weeks check on some gold...
-Valentines Day you see all these couples and they are all extra Lovey (Projectile Vomiting) Dovey

[The Above question applies to women as well]

Now of the Made up Holidays Steak and Blow Job Day Is even more made up Then Valentines day.......
-You can't celebrate this holiday in public so it isn't like (well you could but you won't see it) so it isn't like during dinner the women will vanish under the table and then see your said face and offer to share with ya (ha) it isn't like they will come help you out either so.......
- No one really celebrates this do they? I can just see someone bringing this up Hi Hun you remember what tonight is don't you....
- If anyone does could you set her up with me even if it just for that Night ;)
-If we assume this is a real holiday and some people do celebrate it that changes everything from what I said and so what holiday is worse not to do?

Of course if you are one of those few blessed people then you can have your own Steak and Blow Job day all by yourself...

Again though this can be looked at from the female perspective... I have heard a rumor of some women who love to give head (wish I knew a bunch of them) So for them being single must ruin that holiday... Well of course (assuming hot or at least decent) they could go to Steak houses and go up to guys and Ask to do know what today is? If the answer is no show them on their phone throw wiki pages and ask for a small piece of steak..... But I think for most women being single this day is a good thing... I wonder how many couples break up for this reason after Valentines Day (HA) and before Steak and Blow Job Day (march 14th)


Well Hope anyone who read this enjoyed it.........

I don't endorse any of the links on the side of page haven't tried them so... But the question does remain for males and females what is worst to be single on?

Fat Bob's

So I admit I have heard of Fat Bob's for a long time and I never had been there, Maybe I had tried the food once at like the taste of Buffalo... The 1st time I went there was that get together for (e:theecarey) ..... It was a great time and the food was great as well. Some how with the crazy Holidays I never posted pictures from my Birthday Dinner..... So better late then Never. What reminded me was that (e:Paul) went and couldn't get pictures so here are a few.........

Spartacus + Hardcore Porn= A little bit gay?

So Just to warn People a Bit yes I will be talking about sex and porno in this post, there won't be any pictures that is to bad oh well or maybe that is a good thing. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't read it..... Does anyone really read it and I do kinda wonder do people who aren't part of the site read it? In any event here goes I wish I could out line might make this better we shall see if this goes where I think it will go.... Yes down the alley with 2 Thai Lady boys now if that was only really the case HA!

Oh yeah also if I offend anyone I'm sorry I don't mean to.. There is nothing wrong with being gay or bi. Yes there are some sterotypes and hopefully I don't use any of them. Again I'm not bashing or attacking anyone here at all... So again if anyone does read this just finish and see if what I wrote makes any sense it may not....

The Place to start is with the Movie 300... I know I few people when it came out (sorry don't have the links to it) wrote reviews of it. Visually it was amazing. That aspect and not the story is what I want to point out. Yes wearing little trunks and having everyone be all cut and looking like body builders with killer abs is pretty macho and pretty bad ass.... But Come on isn't also a bit gay... If you can have a metal shield and sword why not armor why are you showing off the build and the wang when fighting men? But maybe all Gladiator are a bit gay. It would kinda make sense since I have heard some place gay sex as being "Greek Style".. But it also kinda fits with some of those famous lines from the Airplane movies "Ever been to a Turkish Prison" "Ever seen a grown man naked" and "Do you like Gladiator movies"... Or maybe they where pedophile jokes or both not sure...

Starz had this series Called Spartacus blood and sand. This season they are having a 6 episode season of stuff that happened before hand. So far the violence is great. The Sex and nudity is great.. Lucy Lawless doesn't look like Zena but wow she is hot and even better nude along with her friend (if anyone is a true friend on that show with all the betrayers is hard to know)... There is a story line that is good as well.. But back to the sex for a minute. That being said though this year unless I missed it there hasn't been any cock shown. For some that is a good thing. Last season it seemed like they showed a lot. There was this one scene where (I want to say lucreaia not sure if that is right) picks out a guy and she says the one with the horse cock and they show him... Not that I'm on the set measuring guys but It sure looked to me like flaccid he had around 8-9 inches .... I'm impressed wish I was hung like that a guy who could blow him self..... [There once was a man from Nantucket Whose cock was so long he could suck it, as he wiped off his chin he said with a grin "If my ear was a cunt I would Fuck it"]. Now I'm not giving away to much... There are a few (not sure whom) who know what I don't have... There are a few who know or have seen some of what I have.. There might even be a few (e:peeps) that know exactly what I have not really sure on that last one ... For anyone of you in any sense of the word that know what you know that is fine and for people who don't I'm not posting any pictures or getting into it more then I have here.... I also won't be doing any charts or studies or anything else along those lines... Now there maybe some pictures out there someplace that have been seen on other sites but I kinda doubt it........

Ok Back to Spartacus... Last season there was war and fighting and the battle to be a Champion Gladiator.. So the violence was pretty good... But part of what made it so good is that it was driven by story and so many people turning on one another... Oh yeah and honor and wanting to not be a slave and wanting money and power and sex... Oh yeah the sex was really good.. Now so far this season is about How we got the fighters we had and how they got to the arena and again the story, sex and gore is great... I like how they make the blood look as opposed to the real look they have way to much to make it look that way. Yes there is two gay Gladiators but it isn't like they are looked down on and in both seasons there have been women with women or women watching men and women get it on... Again as though it is great or at least not negative...

One thing that I was thinking about trying for fun sometime just to see if it would work is (might not for me but sure it would for many ha, Well unless you are that persons lover then fail! HA) assuming I could find the time and the gallons of fluid to drink is: Watch the first season on Demand (13 episodes) that is a feat in its own.... But then to try and get off during the sex scenes... My Theory is that as hot as they are that it wouldn't work. My guess is that they are shot so that they are short so that they can have story and gore be the main thing.... If that is the reason you are watching then maybe you should be watching a porno instead and I think the show is trying to get away from that and show how great (from some perspectives) things where back then.......

Ok hope someone is still reading this not that they will ever talk to me again now Ha! Lets face it Porn is a huge business and there are very different kinds. Everyone who is of a certain age has seen some kind for some it might be walking in on the roommate and watching or animal planet or looking through a bedroom window, or playboy. If you don't believe me there is even an etrade ad where one baby hits the back button and it is wildebeests going at it and he wants the link sent to him .... It is funny if you have never seen it..

My Point that I was trying to get to is you have different levels of porn... Some there isn't any Nudity or not much bondage and Leather stuff (from what I have heard) some times it is just the outfits or those kinky boots... Then you have the porn like playboy and some other sites and things that are just boobs... boobs are great and for some they work. But for some they need to see that nice pussy or at least a hint at it....

Girl on Girl Porn is the best it really is.. I have heard of guys just sitting around and watching it for hours.. Yes Girls gone wild is one form of it.. Chicks (again from what I have heard never seen it myself somehow ) who are all ways hot show their tits and sometimes make out with a chick but that is about as far as it goes.. For some guys (and ladies also) that is perfect they get to see some hot girls who look like that girl they know or that girl they see in class but don't really know and then sometimes they really do know her or see her around town or campus or work or where ever... This level of porn is great cause there are no guys who wants to see a gross guy and that really does make sense....

The next level we shall call skinomax yes the skin movies on cinemax or other cable shows.. I wonder if anyone watches for the story or if these are really aimed at couples.. Se they have story between the scenes and there is making out.. I call this the next level cause yeah sometimes it is girl on girl or boy girl or even some combo of people... This stuff is good cause it shows sex and in some you might see some muff but not a lot. but you won't see any dick (unless this has Changed). At the same time though the sex is pretty hot (this is mostly the level of Spartacus I think)...

Now I can admit I have no idea what makes something X or XXX. But the next level is my Favorite and that is Hardcore porn. Now if you enjoy hardcore porn sorry but You (me included ) are a little bit gay. That is unless of course you just watch girl on girl with toys. In hardcore you see penetration and flaccid and hard cocks. There are all sorts of other things as well. Granted just cause you like to see a girl suck the dick and see the dick or see the balls on her ass or watch the jizz hit her face Doesn't make you gay.. But to be honest you are enjoying see both people naked so you are at least a little bit bi... Now I'm not saying that being a little bit bi in watching a porno makes you like guys or makes you gay or makes you want to look for cock on the internet... But it is a bit gay to watch a guy jerk himself off (why don't the girls do this more often) onto a women. I myself like to watch all kinds of things but nothing to far out there... As gross as cum is they sure make it look cool in these movies girls kissing and exchanging fluids sure looks hot.... I have heard some of this is faked not sure I know it looks hot though... I won't even touch on the cum shots videos or the ones where like a bunch of guys line up a spill their seed on one girl.... That is very gay but there is nothing wrong with that.... I include my self in this if you are a boy and enjoy Hardcore Porn you are a little tiny bit gay... Again you are enjoying looking at dick the hot chick is the reason but you are still enjoying it so.........

Well that is about all I've got hope it kinda makes sense didn't prof read it or anything........

  1. I'm not sure how to add video that isn't on you tube so I didn't try but I videoed some of the entry stuff
  2. trying to see if I'm doing the number thing the right way
  3. The Bandettes dance before the game then between the first and second Quarter at half time and then also between the 3rd and 4th... Yes they are hot but it also for viewing pictures shows where you are in the game kinda
  4. The Bandits started out hot and Toronto Kept coming back and took the game to Over Time where the Bandits won and had a big celebration
  5. After the game when we left outside it was snowing at it is hard to really explain what that was like Snow pictures are kinda tough flash hits the snow no flash then kinda dark home anyone who made it to the end enjoyed them
  6. Lacrosse will now be on Versus some games live some not I think that will help get more people into the game... That being said on TV it is different then in person just like with hockey and that entire thing can't really translate on TV....
  7. I know this should have been posted last week but I was trying to get caught up and I wanted to post about the NFL for weeks so.......

State of the NFL?

First of all Last Night on Bill Maher during new rules he did a great job of comparing baseball to the NFL it was about how the NFL is Socialist in how it divides up the money among all the teams and it was very good.

Second of all I have been meaning to write something about the NFL since the playoffs started a bit late I admit.......

So this weekend is the pro bowl and I have a few issues with it.. Yes being voted in is an honor. Once selected they call you a 2 time or how many ever times all pro. But that being said the game its self seems to be have been more about the trip to Hawaii. Now the current commissioner has tried to change that and make the game the week prior to the Super Bowl. Since it is a week before the Super Bowl no one on either team is going to play they have rest and practice and won't take the chance of injury... But that brings up something else if you are in the playoffs you don't want to play in the probowl cause that means your team lost... So it is kinda like for anyone in the playoffs like a slap in the face or at least a reminder that you didn't get to where you want to be... Of course for teams not in the playoffs it is a different story.... My other issue is that the voting starts way to early.... If you miss the first 4 games you won't get any votes but can go on to have a great season... The reverse is also true you can have a great half season get lots of votes then tank.... I say no votes untill week 12.

Will there be a pro bowl next year who knows there might not even be a season... College kids stay in school what happens if next season is scabs or there isn't one don't take that chance...

Logic would tell you that the owners and players will work something out... I hope that is what will happen... Maybe they will learn from baseball how much no season or from that other strike year how much that hurts both sides... People will stop watching.... But what would hurt more is the perception that people aren't watching ....

I can Admit that I don't know or understand all the money issues. But what I do get is that every so often the net works bid on the rights to the NFL ... That is why Monday night football is now on Cable and NBC gets Sunday Night Football. It used to be that when you took all the TV money each team got 1 million dollars more then the Salary cap. Now the reason that the net works pay that money is because people are watching the games. The amount of people who watch the games determines how much they can charge form advertisers. So if you lose viewers companies will pay less so the net works pay less so the NFL makes less and that is just TV. Not to mention things like who makes the shoes and the Jerseys and ads in the stadium. So loss of viewers hurts everyone pretty hard....

Now what may back fire on the NFL and when I say NFL I don't only mean the league I also mean the players and owners in this case is the international viewers. If there is no season you may lose them or if the play isn't at the level it should be you may lose them as well.

Before the NFL went international they had The World League Of American Football. That was a great league they would try things before the NFL would like helmet cams and things like that. Yes teams did have players that belonged to NFL teams but not sure if the NFL had any ownership or not but it did get interest over seas.... What was cool was that they had American teams as well. I can't imagine what traveling to Europe to play a game and vice versa would have been like.. Later on they took a year off and it became NFL Europe. At that point it became all about spreading the game over there and getting more fans for football and the NFL.

What I don't know is if the NFL figures hey if we out source we can get the same quality players at a cheaper cost... Hey the more players the less value each player has.....

Recently the NFL has continued this push with having every team play an international game. The plus side to this is you get more fans for the sport. But the downside is if those fans get into the game and then there is no season then you risk losing those fans to other sports and they will never come back and they will tell all their friends hey this Greedy American Shit doesn't happen in Soccer or Rugby....

I think that the NFL is trying to expand into other parts of the world and may add teams. I don't know what the best way to do this is though. Say they add a London Team is it fair to travel all the way to London for a game and the other way around.

The other issue I have is all the divisions are currently even so how do you add teams maybe an international team to each Division. Maybe add one each year till all have 5 teams instead of 4? Then maybe add one more Wild Card Team? If London won the Division would Americans Watch?

Or maybe the thing you do is ad another Division to both the NFC and AFC. The fact is that the NFL wants to make more Regular season games and less preseason games so since you play more games it makes sense that you would have more teams...

I have no idea what is going to happen to be honest. I think Toronto wants a team, They want their own team not the Buffalo Bills. There needs to be an LA team for sure. But if you go international who should get teams. I say go look at the CFL and where they have good crowds go there. I would say Toronto, Montreal , London England not Ontario, Not sure where else in Canada but How about a couple Teams from Mexico.

I admit that sometime the NFL is the No Fun League. I like when players get pumped and do dances but they need to do it for them selves not to put it in the other guys face. I wish they did the helmet cam thing for all the players. I know that would make it to hard to do replays but maybe put the helmet cams with a stream on line so people who want to watch the game that way can on featured games at least.......

I hope that the greedy owners, greedy league and Greedy players come up with what is best for the game and players in the future so that they don't destroy the game I like to watch every Sunday we shall see...........
