What is Irish and stays out all night?







.........Patty O'furniture

So (e:libertad)'s mom was in town for the week and so I saw her a lot which was really nice because she lives in florida and so really i never see her. It was great getting to know her more though I fear I am too shy and then it is awkward when we sit around and I have nothing to say and so she prolly thinks I am boring. I hope not! I also really didn't drink even though everyone else always was having wine, 1 cuz I don't like wine and 2 we all know what happens whne I drink and I was trying to keep it classy. he already told her to google me which brings up some unofrtunate photos ....... anywho oh we did bond over celebrity gossip . She lives near Hulk Hogan , how cool is that? She says they are in the paper every day cuz they are crazy, which they are. She even bought me a celebrity mag which I am thoroughly enjoying! I hope she liked me, its hard cuz she already has so much history with (e:libertad) and his roomate and so sometimes I felt like I oculdn't offer up enough to compete and be fun and entertaining, I hope it went ok and she didn't go home and say" what has my son gotten himself into!"

Haha today I heard a quote by Queen Elizabeth of England (not like I heard her say it while we were having lunch but i heard it in I read it in the paper) that she loves the song Dancing Queen and always dances when she hears it because as she said and I have often said "I'm a queen and i love to dance"

Also this is my favorite weekend of the Buffalo summer as it is the Taste of Buffalo. I go every year with (e:maureen) and eat more food than anyone else and then I always go at least one other time with other people. I really have to save up for it cuz I love to try everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ok not eveything but a lot of stuff. And my favoirtest thing ever they have again this year which is fried cheese stuffed black olives! THEY ARE SO GOOD and they don' tactually have them at the restaurnat that does them cuz I have called and asked they only have them a few times a year. I just love taste of buffalo and i know a lot of people ocmplain about how hot it is an drowded and expenseive but it seriously is what i live for all year. (e:maureen) flew in from Boston just for this basically!!! It is so good! The only tihng I don't like is that they really have too many chain restuarnats , I feel like it should be local restuarnats only!!!

So i just read Dr. Phil actually is not a doctor and does not have a liscense to practice psychology. THAT IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!! I hate him , what a whack job!

So me and (e:jill) decided to be summery and go to the beach today. Of course when we left it was completely cloudy and kinda chilly. We of course decided to stop at Tops for some snacks and magazines... 60 dollars,...4 magazines.....2 subs, 2 huge party bags of chiops, cookies, candy, pasta salad, drinks and other miscelaneous food items later we are off to the beach. Seriuosly it was a little redic how much food we bought but you never know how hungry you are gonna be and we are gluttons! WE forgot forks for the pasta salad though and luckily e"jill stole them from a gas station while we asked for directions.


Oh and by the way we had very loose directions to bennett beach which according to my gps didn't exist. WE got super lost sorta from the direction from yahoo and the erie count parks website and noone at th egas station we stopped at had ever heard of Bennett beach even though I'm pretty sure it is one of only a few beaches really in erie county and it was close to where we were asking poeple. Anywho after driving around for a while wihtout really feeling like we were getting anywhere we just used the GPS to go to the nearest beach to where we were at the moment. This beach had the beautiful sounding name of Buffao Municipal Bathing Center . Oh sounds so luscious and tropical. Anywho we follow the directions and lo and behold it takes us to Bennett beach...... what a crazy turn of events.

Anywho we get there eat mass quantities of food and read our magazines and are really rather chilly and just step into the water. We kinda fall asleep on the blankets and then wake up and go in the water and realize "HOLY CRAP I AM COMPLETELY SUNBURNED" This has happened to me once befroe and while I don't believe it is as bad as that time , it is pretty bad. We didn't even bring any sun tan lotion but it was cloudy so it shouldn't have mattered but I always forget that you can burn super extra in cloudy weather cuz you dno't realize. And booy did I?" Great I hope it is not too painful b/c last tmioe when me and (e:Maureen) got really burnt I was this close to killing myself cuz it was so painful!!

All in all bennet beach was prety nice. I had been there befroe with (e:pmt) and (e:chirs) , i am sure there are pictures in one of paul's old journals. I will post the pics I took today later. So even though I am burned i still love the beach and am glad it is summer!

So on Saturday it was the pharmacist at work Rachel's wedding. The reception was at Kloks in West Seneca which was pretty nice. I had never been there before. The food was really good! Anywho, only four people from work were there, one being Rachelle and then the two pharmacists patty and nancy. You guys might have met Rachelle (don' tconfuse her with the bride Rachel) at a party at the 24. We kinda happen to get a little crazy...anywho....you know how at weddings they close the bar during dinner well we were done with dinner and saw there was another wedding outside next door (rachel's wedding was indoor/outdoor) so we decided to just go there and pretend we were at that wedding to get some drinks while we waited for people to finish dinner. Well we walk over and order and our downfall I think was ordering a Michelob cuz the bartended was like "um that is what they are serving at the other wedding, are you from the other wedding?" and were like no of course not, michelob is our favorite so we always ask for it. So thye made our four drinks but gave us really mean looks and so then we deicded we needed to pretend we belonged so we like sat down and went up to the dance floor BUT LOOKMED AROUND AND REALIZED there were only like 40 guests at this wedding so we definitely stuck out! So then we tried to make a run for it through the parking lot and around back to our wedding. Thinking phew we were so smooth and made it out we go to go back into Rachel's wedding and the manager comes out and starts screaming at us "YOU LIARS, SHE ASKED YOU SPECIFICALLY WHAT WEDDING YOU WERE FROM, NEVER DO THAT AGAIN...blah,blah,blah". Now this would have been only slightly embarassing had rachel's weddin gnot been indoor/outdoor so tons of peopole from her wedding were outside watching as we got reamed out. SO EMBARASSING! Luckily rachel found it funny and not terrible as we imagined. We had to text patty an dhave her come out and save us and now the lady who yelled at us was the bartender at Rachel's wedding so we had to be slick and make sure we got the other bartender or send people to get our drinks.

WE were at a table with some of rachel's dad's cousins who were older and I guess our drunken dancing cuz quite a few commetns, like they were saying "they are gonna regret that on monday" (ha! Our work parties are 10 times less classy than anything we did at the wedding including being yelled at) and stuff like "i hope they sell condoms at rite aid , they are gonna need them". Oh we always keep it classy!

P.S. They had a baloon artist who was like 5 and awesome and made baloon hats. I will post pictures later.

...a Canisius College yearbook for the year 2001. For some reason (well the reason is I am an out of control pack rat who just collects anything he comes in contact with) while going through my school papers that I have saved I found the Canisius yearbook from 2001 and was flipping through it and then realized I didn't even go there that year, so why do i a.) have the yearbook and b) have kept it for like 7 years. It prolly involved seeing it somewhere in the school and being like i watn those memories even if they aren't mine. Who knows what good they will be in the future. Well anyway I want to get rid of it but feel weird throwing it out? ANyone want it?

...If i saw my coworker on the side of the road on fire, and i was walking by with a fire extinguished, I wouldn't put them out....I didn't say it to their face but i wanted to. I am so sick of people being so lazy and like just standing around and eating and having to tell them eveyr freakinn two seconds "TO REMEMBE RYOU ARE WORKING< HOW ABOUT YOU DO SOMETHING AND SNACK AND STAND AROUND WHEN YOU GET HOME" THAT I REALLY COULDN'T HANDLE IT ANYMORE!!!1 ugh new job is necessary, i say that a lot, i need to do something about it

You would be suprised how much goes down on the corner of Tremont and Wilber outside my computer room window. Seriusly there is always either some crazy little kids playing crazy games that involve lots of screming on my front lawn. BUt more than anything else there is a lot of relationshiop drama that always goes down there. I seriously have seen hundreds ok maybe tens of couples break up or get in major fights on this corner. Since we got the central air and the windows aren't open as much it isn't as exciting cuz I don't get to hear the argument , just ee it. Sometimes it is better because I tihnk I can make up better stories. For instance this couple that are fighting outside my window now, I am pretty sure that he cheated on her with a one-legged dwarf centaur and so she is udnerstandably angry because she just found out she was pregnant. So she just ripped the stop sign out of th ground and started beating her own stomach while he screams "stop killing my babY" and she says "listen yo, this baby aint yos no mo". Thats what I see. IN real life they are fighting about something and she did just spit on him twice walk away and came back and spit on him again. It is quite entertaing. It won't be over til the police come or my crazy dad wakes up and chases them down.

Let's all join this bunny in giving Dave a standing ovation for his 28th birthday!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! YOU'RE AMAZING! THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR ME AND FOR BEING YOU!
