Posts from September 2011

So I debated if I should write anything on 9/11 with it being 10 years and I decided that I need to... I didn't want to make it political.. Look there are all kinds of things on facebook that have an implied meaning not never forget.... But then I thought it isn't our fault it has been made political by the people running the country at the time....

So the tough part is where to start (wonder if anyone on facebook will even read this). I don't have the same connection to this event as everyone else... Think I knew at the time one person who was in NYC and so the thought of family being in those towers never even crossed my mind... I wasn't in love with the city and the people there so it was like the Oklahoma City bombing by the way and that was the 1st Major Attack on our country... Everyone says 9/11 because of it being a foreign attack and there they have a point .. I was at work at the time and the boss let us know and it was view-able for anyone who wanted to see it...

The question most of these remember Sept 11th posts don't do is ask why... Why did we get attacked... Granted the people in the towers and the firefighters where innocent.... But why did someone fly planes into those buildings are part of a bigger attack? At the time no one wanted to know they just wanted death to those who did it... Who cares if we stick our noses into things that aren't our business who cares if we liberate people, so what if we support dictators and people who torture there own people (Sadam)... Not saying we can keep the entire world happy... But it isn't like we don't do evil things only those scum bag dirty Muslims do... Oh just nuke them all....

But see the other problem is no one asked why do they hate us...The follow up question should have been what will happen for different courses of action... In other words are we going to get more enemies then friends...

I'm not saying that one side holds the rights to remember sept. 11th and never forget what I'm saying is that it does suggest a certain view point politically not that it is true for every person.....

9/11 did change everything... Now they have the right to search you every where you go...What the fuck I just want to see a show why can't I sneak in my candy or what ever it is insane...

How about those united we stand shirts... Oh yeah all those people wearing them are doing such a great job of pulling up the poor and people who look like and act not like them... Great shirt there buddy.....

So don't even get me started on the wars with two countries ... It would be like if the Lakawana 6 blew some place up so England invaded us cause we had Terrorists it is so fucking stupid well that is "W" and his cronies who where all in with Sadam and Bin Laden....

Back to work for a minute remember when those Bin Laden Wanted signs where around... There was the (how can you not love those girls on those trucks) Pine Hill Coffee truck that came to work and it had one of those posters on it... Not saying he is a nice guy but you don't need war to get one guy... Oh yeah Seal Team 6 that was all about testing that stealth Helicopter really.... But after some time she no longer had that poster.... They where made illegal... Not sure why but it makes sense can't have people going to peace full places looking for Bin Laden at the local masque making friends in the us our enemy and shit.....

Now I don't go as far as the people who think we planned 9/11. But we knew it could happen yes there is prof that it was one of many scenarios that we knew about... That being said right at the time it came out that those building where built to stand being hit by a plane... Odd that the 2nd plane hitting is what caused the collapse.... What is odder though is how did they know one plane wasn't enough?

Now the NFL season started on Thursday... But today is like the real start and the Giants are in DC playing the skins...Go Skins... I'm sure all over the country there will be a lot of 9/11 stuff and that is fine... Sure for this game they will have all kinds of stuff and lots of stuff since this would be the perfect place to attack on National TV and in the capitol so... Security will be on high alert...

Now that all being said I have seen one thing on 9/11 other then Rescue Me (great show by the way) about the memorial and it is gorgeous like how they did the names and it looks very nice... My point in all this when you watch and special about this and there are a ton and some really good ones I'm sure. Step back and think? Don't buy the propaganda . Don't get caught up in the Fake Patriotism (altered Pledges , and anthems at sports events and that stuff) You know that I have a big flag so I love my country more then you.... No do this instead... Think of all the heroes that went into that building (real heroes don't think of them selves that way they where doing what they do and you would to if you could) to save the innocents... Then think about all the other innocent people and think about what should be done or shouldn't be done depending on your view for those people...Try and think and remember about those people and not some big political event and what it caused......

So First of all @mrmike nice to run into you last night....

So If you have never seen The Skiffle Minstrels go see them! Not that I dance but good music to dance to... Oh by the way just gotta ad "JYD Junk Yard Dog" then a bunch of barks.... That song was great.... I guess in some time they will have video on Youtube but not sure if it is just them or the opening guy.... It was a lot of fun here are the 30 trillion pictures ok well not that many if this isn't enough you can see them all on face book as well........

So Sunday is 10 years since 9/11 may do a post about it but there is no way of doing so with out making it political... This Sat is the Skiffle's CD release Party that should be fun... I can't believe MIA is a week a way.... Think I need to get a 2nd Camera I really do..... Well here are a few more pictures from the chicken wing Festival......


To Be honest I have no idea how I will post MIA photos there I'm sure will be a ton even for me then the next day is Night Of Champions (WWE)...

Miss Buffalo Contest at Wing Festival

I should explain that at this point it isn't over it is like the ending of current champions reign and yes that is Kitty Lambert with the flowers... After the intro and talent and Bathing suit portions they have evening wear and they also would pick a question at random and answer it... It is supposed to be about how the answer it and back up their ideas not the opinion they have.....

So there are many things that go on at The National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival.... I like the food and entertainment one of those eating things you kinda gotta see in person... That being said I wonder how the view differs for the pro shooters of it.... I admit there will be a ton of pictures some of them are the entertainment before it starts... Eric "Bad Lands" Booker is the huge Rapper who also eats......


So here is what I need to say:
-Guy with the Hat Is George Shea Yes he is the MC and I think he is funny but he also runs pretty much the entire eating league
-From what I understand each tray is weighed before (it is supposed to be 10 pounds) when you want a new tray you call for it... Any food on the floor goes back into the tray... they weigh them after and that tells them (with math) how many pounds was eaten... person with the highest weight wins....
-Now my pictures would be better but had some battery issues at the end of the contest...
-In front of the stage you have a small stage for the media aka the people who are press or have press passes..So after "Bad lands " got his medal he steps down onto that... So we clear out a space... Now as much as I would love to support half his weight don't know if I could and some one else kinda wider not sure whom did it....

> With the Sonya "The Black widow" Thomas win she comes down and gets on his shoulders and he parades her around it was awesome... If there is video someplace or pictures I must be in them I assume but haven't seen it....

So with all that said back to the pictures.......


Well hope you enjoyed the next post I think will be of the Miss Buffalo contest again a bunch of pictures there as well

So I forget what makes up the entire Buffet bowl it is like around 5 pounds of food I think Chicken Fingers, Pizza, Beef on weck, Rosina Meat balls...... It is first two to finish everything then I think for 3rd on they do what ever is left minus what it was weighed in at the start.....

Yes the guy in the sun glasses is Andre Reed!


Think that pretty much covers Day 1 hope it was enough with out being to much..... and hope it conveys what it was...

So 1st of all for those of you at Drew's & Janelle's hope it is a great time I'm here posting pictures instead.... If I knew where the place was exactly I would have made plans to go... The reason I don't know where it is.... Well If I would have helped them Move (like I should have) then I would know.... Well I assume some e:peeps went.... In any event Posting pictures from the festival is kinda tough to decide how to do it... Do I want to post all the pictures from an event or just do like the overview? I think for Sat. Sept. 3rd 2011 I'm going with the overview... Who knows maybe at some point I'll do a slideshow but those seem to take so long on youtube.....

Oh wait gotta Explain the 2nd Picture... There was the free stress test (sciencetology) and then there is one of those "Protesters" now not sure if they where just in the same area or if he was protesting the other guys?


There was a cake competition I guess the dude in is a Raven's fan and has a band is from a show called Cake boss....

The bobbing for wings was crazy was close but had a bad spot for pictures....


The Winner here moves onto the pros on Sunday......


Now the Next thing right after that will be the Next Post the Buffet Bowl.....

If you where there and like your picture it is yours....

Just thought of the shot I should have tried Cake vodka with the infused whip cream on top oh well....

Saturday had a lot of fun at the zombie walk it is hard to explain there where families there and it was pretty cool... For Zombies I think there were awards and all the money or food you could give I think went to the Food bank.....

Now What I did was I paid so I could get in and get in at the night time show even though I didn't think I would make that... Then after People passed me by I tried to get ahead of them... Down by Allen there was some guy who gave these girls a book.... One of the zombies jumped out in front of a non moving bus and took pictures it was really cool.....

Tried to drop a Video in but AVI format isn't allowed oh well


Hey I know I had a great time looks like the walkers had a good time also....

So On Saturday I went to The Elmwood Festival of the Arts... It was a good time... Then after that it was off to the zombie walk then back to see The Skiffle Minstrels and eat Lloyds... Then Over to Roxy's great time watching Burlesque... On my way home ran into @YesThatCasey and continued with a short debate on "Taco Trucks"... With out starting the entire debate over My issue is this I think Food Trucks should have freedom to pretty much go where they want... But somehow there should be a system not sure what that would be that if there is a trouble causing truck that it can be dealt with quickly cops shouldn't be pulling them over and siting them.... Maybe cops should be able to park the cares and count number of passes and go ok there... That isn't the point though the point was that it was nice to see him... Wish I could have stayed at Roxy's longer but my spine or was it my neck was sore... End of a long day and rocked out pretty good Friday night... One thing is I wish Roxy's shots where like real sized shot glasses but maybe those are double shots... The Light stuff Hypnotic was tasty stuff gotta find out how much that is for a bottle... The other thing is I had no idea how much alcohol it had and even though I wasn't feeling it didn't want to chance it......

Pictures of Zombies later maybe Tuesday for Now Elmwood festival of the arts....And Skiffling.....


Gotta talk about Lyods for a second that Crazy corn was so good it really was.... Yes I ate the seasonings that fell off oh so tasty.... Now I got a Taco and a Burrito one was braised Beef and the other was Chicken... Now I bit into the taco and was shocked by the taste then It dawned on me most places around here when you get a soft taco they don't use Corn shells they use flour and leave it open or what ever they do.. So props to Lloyds on that.....
