So as part of the Cruise one of the ports was Cozumel I picked to go see the Tulum Ruins.... Yes with both ports there was stress just all the getting ready and having to be a certain place at certain time and not knowing how stuff was going to go down .... But I made it through it .... Now the one bad thing about it is it takes a lot of time to get there you take a boat ride that you have to get on that is very very bouncy and got some people sick ... IF I would have bought a Drink I would have Puked to.... I saw things in Mexico that I didn't get pictures of wasn't fast enough like a guy with some kind of little big cat of some kind and other animals .... Then On the way back there was a place to eat and drink but I didn't eat there cause of the boat ride I would be on later and also a bus trip was part of it..... Now at the ruins there was a beach but it was not safe to swim it was closed... And I did learn a lot it was a lot of fun .....

So I do still Have Bandits Season Tickets and Today I am going to a WWE House Show at the Arena... I know the people who work there like at all NHL Arenas and some places have multiple sports like Buffalo do a great job doing a change over.... I have no idea what they do and if they pull up rug and then lay down stuff ... If it is Hockey do they just cover the ice like they use to with those boards ..... Or is that the Job of the WWE and I wonder what time they came in... Not to mention they have to have the ring set up before the event so wrestlers can hit it first and kinda go over what they do ..... It is a 1PM Bell Time and the game ended at close to 10 .... But they always do a great Job .... But I wonder how much pressure is on the crews to get it all set up ......

It was a great Bandits Game last night and the Bandits won.... I forget the New Goalies Name but he did a Victory lap before the rest of the team did that was kinda cool a few pics .....

So I will Admit that I try to Keep up with (e:strip) and fall behind I think part of that is Twitter is good or can be at real time conversation but what it and facebook are not good at is Blogs and I think they teach you in a way to write short or to even leave words out some times ..... But (e:strip) is about writing something and it is odd with how bad I was in English that I have a blog that I don't prof read .... That being said going to try and keep up better then I have been...

In Jamaica the trip I booked (well all the trips are through the cruise line) was to see Dunn's River Falls .... Wow I was out of shape or maybe it is that the water shoes aren't the best for climbing rocks and the falls but it was a fun time with my bad balance .... That I had no pictures of cause they have all these signs about being hands free .... Turns out if you bring a water camera they will take your photo in the water .... But I bought a DVD that I have not watched yet that is supposed to have Pictures on it... You don't have to walk the falls though you can just look at them (My sis did that and has some nice falls pictures) .....

Then it was off to this beach.... I got the one where they bring you food and drinks .... I went in the water a little bit .... You could rent stuff if you wanted to but I wanted to relax.... One could swim I didn't cause I couldn't really watch my stuff not that I thought any one from the group would take it .......

(Photos from Water Camera )














I am Not a Fan of Beer but Had to try to Red Stripe









I added a few from the Big Camera I enjoyed the band and a few shots from the ship of us leaving

So I want to Post some Pictures from the Cruise I went on Got back on Monday but that will be the next post later today ... I went with Sis her Daughter and one of my sis Friends and my mother .... Yes it was fun but not as fun as it should have been... One Port where you Taxi in, had high waves , Weather was to bad and that was going to be a family day everyone at the beach.... Also I could feel the movement of the ship not enough to make me sick but still some .... But the part that is tough about a Cruise is you go down a day early and stay some where (Some people didn't do that from Buffalo and Boston and flights didn't make it ) and then you are on the water with out being any where it is like 3 or 4 of the days (going and coming back ) and when you lose one you are on the ship more then at ports ... now Their are longer cruises this is not true (Go to more places ) ... They had some great entertainment like Improve Comedy , Blue Man Group and that Cirque stuff so it was fun I'm not saying it isn't just that a lot of the activities where not my cup of tea..... Yes they Have Pools on the top deck but for me with the wind I would have felt cold or cool I like to be warm so for me it was out .....

We Left out of Miami but for those that don't fly some leave from NYC .... NCL is the cruise line my Sister booked it was for her 30th Birthday... If you don't like Asians it might not be the company for you I have no problem with them and all the crew was great .... But I wonder what it is like to work on a ship .... It must be tough in some ways but I bet it is a highly sought after job ?

So At this time of year there are all kinds of Holidays and it can be tough even if you have a great Holiday it is easy to think but oh we did that this other way like it was better ... But That isn't really what this post is about it is about just posting some Pictures of the season and yeah some will be TSO but Hopefully Not to many just a few .......

















Now that being said I do like Christmas Lights and the huge Displays but never got to see that show Christmas Light Fights guess it was a competition I also can take no credit for Christmas Cookies .... Now in terms of TSO I like them and the effects they used with that chest is cool but liked past shows better ..... Hoping to keep up with posting on here .....

So This blog or somewhere it might be called a note or something is not like one of those had these goal and made them didn't make these type of things It isn't really specific either really ......

I am Hopeful that 2015 will be better but I doubt it...... Now I do not want to say 2014 was bad but it sure felt like I missed a lot of stuff I wanted to go to like the entire Halloween Weekend .... But I think I am often like that but maybe I just noticed it more this year .... But yeah there have been some rough patches for sure...... Some of that is part of getting older I guess ......

But some times when I did miss stuff and some stuff there is just no way to go to it and get back there really isn't but I mean stuff where I said ok going to go to that..... At least most of the time I tried to make the best out of it at home .... I missed so much cool Infringement festival stuff this year but also ran into some I didn't know about so.... But there is still many things I planned to do or where like a strong maybe I missed or that is how it felt at least .....

Our bad sports often fun to still watch doesn't help with the mood.... But that brings up kinda a point... I think that say something good happens it Yeah this is awesome and fun and wow and it is great .... But then something (and not in a fun way ha sorry had to) leaves a bad taste in your mouth or is Negative and it Hurts more then that good feeling and lasts longer ......

Some things I have enjoyed where TV moments now this sounds odd but sometimes over on Twitter one can have a lot of fun ... I sometimes wake up tired or don't feel well and I missed something pretty cool so watched the 2 Sharknandos and talking about it live with everyone was a blast... And last year started out talking about the parade and whom ever was in the Winter Classic that was a fun day.... It isn't the same as talking about it and yelling with a bunch of people but it kinda feels sorta the same way sometimes ... If it is a talk and not just a comment .....

I can admit that there is something still kinda odd about all forms of Social Media ..... So Sometimes it is tough to know how much to share and you know this person from this one thing and this person from that other thing.... So sometimes the political stuff can get way over heated and can drain one .... And there has been some bad stuff we all have seen this year and we all have different views on it..... But debating can be fun but it can wear you out also...... Hoping to be civil hope I was last year... But it is tough cause words have two meanings and codes so you can say one thing and people think it means something else.... Hoping to be more clear next year if I wasn't this year .....

Sorta lost my train of thought I just hope the new year is better then 2014 we shall see........

So Been Meaning to write a Sports Blog for ages and it never felt right to do really but now that The Bills are done with their season is a good time I guess .....

I didn't read the Article but it was 50 years ago that the Bills won the AFL Championship... This was before they had a SuperBowl But some how this doesn't count as a Championship even though back then it was.....

Bills Made it to 4 superbowls in a row and Where AFC Champions 4 years in a Row I know they count that as the same thing but you are still your leagues champion think they also won the AFC East in those same years ... But that was part of the time when the NFC would win the SuperBowl so ....

Now The Bandits Have 4 Championships but People don't count that but then they cry about the Sabres not Winning the Cup hey go look at the Bandits Banners ..... And I admit they have had the chance to win more of them and if played up to their talent might have a couple more (yeah that sounds like the Bills HA )

Sabres Fans make fun of MapleLeaf fans since no Stanley Cup in ages but at least they have one guys ... The Most famous Sabres The French Connection Didn't win the cup granted before my time.... Yes the world famous line don't have a cup kinda odd.....

The Buffalo Bisons Have won Championships Back to Back by the way and maybe even 3 at one point... Now that isn't the Major Leagues but still Professional baseball......

So Yes Buffalo Sports is worse then we are good no matter how you count it not that I am .... But you know what we are where we really should be.... Of course we want to win and get some championships in Major Sports (But I think Buffalo Sports fans like to be miserable some times and if Destroyers would have been good enough to win Arena Bowl wouldn't count that but they where bad) ... But we are not Chicago , Toronto , NYC or one of these big cities.. Yes some small markets like Green Bay are good but they don't have Hockey.... That is like the State Team and community owns them....

Buffalo Got The Bills cause they where a great City then..... We get other sports from the Bills ... If all the leagues formed now Buffalo wouldn't get anything ..... We Had an NBA team that packed up and left , I was not watching sports then but our Arena Team left also (That is a Great sport watched it before we got a team) ..... We got teams at the Arena because of the Sabres now you can expand that to Rochester and The Knighthawks who get a team since they had The Americans .... I'm pretty sure .....

Yes I do think that Not being a NFL Playoff team in I think 15 seasons is depressing and our teams often seem to not play as well as they should... But we are a small City ..... Yes the way NFL shares money helps counter this a lot .... But take Jim Kelly as an example who is like Mr Buffalo when he came here he didn't really want to .... And that is something that hurts us in sports If you do not know Buffalo most people want the Big City or the warm weather .... So it should be shocking we have good seasons at all......

I am Hoping that Pegula can change this.... I mean the Pegulas but I don't know running one team is tough enough unless Kim Runs one Team and Terry Runs the other..... My guess is he is the emotional one... And not to be to racist she is The Dragon Lady cutting off heads with her sword and breathing fire with a smile on her face and very calculated but just a guess .....

And yes I Have seen some Sabres teams that looked like they where good enough to win the cup.... and Yes I was scared Buffalo would Burn to the ground like in that movie... You had a sold out Building and then they invited everyone with that Party at the Plaza... Granted Bandits Fans are more Hardcore but when they won back in MILL Tittle people where pounding on cars like the lets go Bandits if Sabres win Harbor center might burn down or get trashed people wouldn't be able to handle it ?????

Sunday is Pretty Much my Christmas

-I have wanted to write some blogs recently but with so much Political Stuff going on doing it on Facebook or commenting on articles takes a lot out of it and plus I don't think most people get it
--This is true of Holiday Shopping and people working and not only all the ferguson stuff and now the Sony stuff

I know Many people do not like Christmas Music but I do mostly Not all day everyday and not on Thanksgiving maybe after the day or if the day is over and you put up Christmas stuff

What I Don't like is that one song The Christmas Shoes oh that is sad and depressing they need to have a warning on that song and maybe put like a hot line number on after it.... And that brings up another Point warning Can we please get them on any gross out ads or that deadly smoking lady ...I don't eat during gory shows for a reason I should be able to change channel or not look if I wish .....

What I also sometimes don't like but mostly like is a lot of it has a Romantic Feel but some of it isn't Christmas music like Let it Snow and Baby it is cold out side :) but they have that romantic tone

The Thing that I like about Christmas Music is that where else can you hear Big Band Music any more or that old style singing and then there is like a new pop artistic take on it and I have heard a couple that are really good and so you get this great different styles of music on the Radio ....

One Bad thing though is I love TSO they are amazing but when you learn their music first by going to see them if you see them enough you picture like the pyro and them above the crowd when their music plays but if you are someone who doesn't really like that thing but you went then you still see it in your Head ? :)

But the one thing that can also be tough about Christmas Music is that it can sometimes remind you of "The Good Times " or say "The Good Ole Days" what I mean you remember when things where good (Kinda like how in a Christmas Story it is a look back at a better time sort of) but the good feeling can be like argh it isn't that way now ... So yeah you can get a little bit down......

But all in All Christmas Music does make me smile and it is fun to pretend you are singing like that in your head ... That is another thing I like about it... It almost all ways has great vocals .....

On Monday I went to Monday Night Raw and not going to post pictures from that to many I wouldn't know where to start but I did take a few around the arena area .....

First of all the Tim Horton Statue has a chain link fence around it but you can't tell with the shots I took.... I do want to try 716 and didn't make it to the Special Tim Horton's yet ... The odd thing though is how big Harbor Centre looks it didn't seem that big last Lacrosse season ........

I honestly don't know how to start this post or if it will make any sense I do not even get it my self really ...... (I would not call it a panic attack but think anxiety took me out like before I went to parties)

So Back when on Facebook a saw a Halloween Party I was like awesome ... And With it being on a Friday places don't do anything on Thursday and Sat is Nov. I decided that The e-Strip party was where I wanted to be.... I got a costume one day ... Liquor another and drinks another ........

I had everything planned I was going to come home get ready and watch Wrestling till 10 and then leave at 10 and set up the DVR for all this other stuff ...... By The end of the week gets me pretty worn out sometimes it feels so long to me often... So I figured I might not be able to stay to late.........

However (not that persons fault) I knew someone was going who it would be cool to meet and that it would be great to see a bunch of people I have not seen in a long time (sometimes my mind races about things) .... Maybe I have seen some in passing somewhere .... I get home and my cable is out again .... That threw everything off had to call them and get ready and my heart was racing I did not think I felt that bad but watched something on DVR as part of the getting ready... it was really pounding post shower it really was but got together put on costume sat down thought about how I need to shave a bit and then find Camera and batteries

I am not sure how I went out when I sat down I tried to get up but my body would not let me it was still before the time I would have left if cable was working ..... That has happened before (once recently that I can remember hard to explain)

I think Anxiety is what took me out like back before I made it to parties argh I was looking forward to it and let people down........

Oh it gets worse I guess

I have been behind on (e:strip) for some time and I was looking forward to taking pictures and starting here with pictures and trying to keep up (computer is in room where I watch and live tweet not where I watch DVR is one big reason and the mobile site is nice but don't use it enough I like the pictures big I guess ?)

Saturday was going to be a great event at Nietches with Burlesque I was really looking forward to that as well ... Was sitting around first so maybe landlord so I can pay rent and watching some stuff on line and called cable still out .... I did not feel right not allergies not sick really but cough and hard to explain when you feel you are not all there almost zombie like so figured best to not go get anyone sick(crowded bar ) or like fall over and had to go get an antenna so did that got it home set it up and was out in about an hour of watching stuff on line .... Yeah out cold .......

I didn't even get to watch a Halloween movie .......Oh but I did see a special or two like 3 weeks ago I think ...... and have had some candy here and there ................

I am working on Monday and going from there right to Wrestling and I wonder if (cause this has happened in past) when I have a series of events if my body like shuts me down and it is like... Nope we are knocking you out so you will be fresh for this ..... but not sure .....

on a side note I have wanted to post about like MIA festival and Chicken Wing Festival but so many pictures I did not know where to start .....

So need to do a better job keeping up with everyone .....

It could also be that I was debating that stupid online video to much and got into like a little war over it.... That could have lead to extra stress argh

Not sure but sure did get a lot of unwanted sleep this weekend and I'm off Tues and Wends cause I need to take time off from work and day after RAW that will be a long day... I do wonder if my body knowing that picked that event and shut me down on others .... I'm guessing the Anxiety (and way over thinking things letting my mind go where it shouldn't have in days prior ) ARGH
