Taped and Pinned In

I am gonna have to be duck taped and safety pinned into my very shotty craftmanship of a costume and it comes across as more creepy than fun but I like it! Procrastination worked again!

Costume time?

What the heck am I gonna be for halloween? I always procrastinate and then come up with something pretty awesome but this is really cutting it close, considering i work everyday til halloween. Well not friday. Me and (e:jill) had a few ideas whlie out shopping the other day but nothing concrete! What can I be? Oh by the by on the side, my boss at work her daughter who is a freshman in high school and her firends are being the people from Candy Land. I am so freakin jealous. That is waht I always wanted to be but noone would go along with it! Can't wait to see everyone dressed up!!!!!!!!!! i love halloween hardcore. Not the scary part but the fun sparkly short shorts part!

Is American Eagle monitoring my thought?

So this was so random. Me and (e:libertad) were at the mall yesterday and we were in American Eagle and I was thinking I don't really buy that much there anymore , i should prolly just cancel my credit card. I used to shop there all the time and I do get stuff every once in a whlie but not that much so it prolly isn't worth having the card anymore. This morning i was really debating about it cuz they say like good and bad things about canceling credit cards. It only has like a 500 dollar limit and i thought maybe i should just keep it cuz then you get a few extra deals but really i almost shop there never. So after debating this, I sign onto AOL and have an e-mail from American Eagle entitled Are YOu Breaking Up with Us? And it was like an e-mail ad about how they haven't had me purchase sutff in a whlie and gave me coupons to use and they want me back. How radnom? They must be stalking my thoughts!

Grow Old With You

I love this song that Adam Sandler sings in the Wedding Singer
Here's looking at ya (e:libertad)...

I wanna make you smile
whenever you are sad
carry you around when your arthritis is bad
all i wanna do is grow old with you

i'll give you medicine when your tummy aches
build you a fire if the furnace breaks
oh it could be so nice growing old with you

i'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when yo uare cold
need you, feed you, even let you hold the remote cnotrol

so let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
put you to bed when you've had too much to drink
oh i'll be the man who grows old with you
i wanna grow old with you

The Secret of the Neon Tango

First of all that would make a good movie title. Second of all , my entire life has been spent pondering the neon tango dancers above the Sahara Grill, that were about Uncle JOes, that were above Just Pizza and prolly the 900 other businesses that have been in that location on elmwood and bidwell. I was always in awe of their neon dancing glory but noone ever knew how thye got there, who paid for them, who pays for them now? were they a piece of art, were they once an ad for a dance school? Who pays the elctric? Who put them up? No one ever knows

AND THEN tonight on channel 2 news they say coming up next the secret of those neon tango dancer on elmwood and I liteerally screamed and jumped for joy!!!!!!!!! I peed my pants while i waited for the commercial break to end and the secrets to all be revealed!!! So the story starts and THEY SAY NOTHING, al,l they say is that part of it was borken and the elmwood society fiexed it! That ansers nothing! that is not secrets revealed. I loathe you channel 2 but alas i don't have the choice of watching channel 4 right now! It was like i though i was about to have all the answers and now I'm left with just more questions!!!!!!!

mk writes at 05:25:14 10/16/08 - Comment #40361: The neon tango dancers are a staple of my youth. I mean I don't know how often I actually was down there when I was little, but I can't remember them not being there. Now they always make me think of (e:jill) because she loves them. I HOPE YOUR VACATION IS SUPER AWESOME, well a little bit not because I have to go to Eckerd and you won't be there :(

In the early 1980s, a community economic revitilization project was undertaken to jazz up the Elmwood Strip section of Buffalo. The Strip was, and still is, home to several unique shops, nightclubs, bars, and restaurants. In 1982, the neon tango dancers were put up at the south end of the Elmwood Strip, welcoming those to the area. It was designed by Laura Rankin along with Dan Sack and Andy Ferullo, and contains a couple dancing the tango, with the neon depicting them in three different positions.

Unfortunately over the years, the tango dancers and it's companion neon moonrise, fell into disrepair and was neglected. For years it was never lit until the Buffalo Argentine Tango Society, along with a Buffalo councilman, raised some funds to get the neon lit up again. It doesn't quite function as it used to, but the fact that it's working again is a promising sign. The first pose is only half lit, and is on all the time. The other two poses seem to work pretty well for the most part. Hopefully some more money can be found to make it 100% again.
