So I went to Wendy's for lunch today and the drive thru line was really long so I decided to go in. I was standing behind this girl who I guess looked kinda boyish but not even really but maybe a little bit . Anywho the cashier said can I help you sir to the girl in front of me which is always an awkward thing when you do that but what made it all the worse by trying to save herself by after saying "can I help you sir" then realized it was a girl then said "or whatever you are"....wow that was not a good save. the girl looked embarassed, i felt awkward, the whole thing was bad.

So last night was curtain up! , the night when all or most of Buffalo's theater community opens their plays and their is a big gala dinner on Main Street and street performances and outdoor partying and what not. I have never went but I would like to go sometime, a fancy dinner full of dressed up people followed by theater sounds like my cup of my tea but not in my budget but that really is not the point of this story.

Local talk has it that one theater company got kicked out of their theater space a day or two before opening night. There were cops and confusion and it turns out their was some miscommunication and simple mistakes and they didn't have the correct permit. But the real question is, who called the cops to have them check out the permit. I don't believe it is common for Buffalo police who in my past experience have
1. not made it within like an hour to a home invasion at my grandparents house while my mom and dad had sort of citizen arrested the thief and put him in their car but eventually he just left because he realized they really couldn't hold him forever just because they had a flashlight. Had the cops come in any reasonable time they would have been able to arrest him so he could not start robbing other single old ladies but they never made it.
2. did not respond for over an hour after a drunk driver caused a 4 car accident on the elmwood strip , and in this case me , teres and one of the other drivers tried to prevent the drunk driver (who literally had beer cans spill out of the car when she opened her door) from driving away.
So needless to say in my experience they don't really appear when needed so I doubt they are spending lots of time checking theater permits. So I imagine someone must have called the cops to have them checked out?

Was it a rival theater company hoping to shut down a competitor on the most important theater night in Buffalo? We are given this image of a theater community that works together always but is there maybe some backdoor shenanigans and rivalry? Was it a disgruntled member who did not make the cast? Was it God? I guess we will never know but like Fox News , I like to just say totally random opinions, not even opinion, just made up stories with no proof and then just leave it be for the viewer to decide.

Update: they got a temporary permit and were allowed to open

last night we hung out with a guy whose cousins wife's son from a previous marriage played Nathan Horton in days of our lives in like 2009. unfortunately that was the time I wasnt watching that much days! Anywho I think I am now considered a celebrity insider since I have met the cousin of the step father of someone from days of our lives! rising to the top any day now !

So I turned the big 3-0 this past Saturday. I was totally ok with turning thirty until Friday morning in the shower all of a sudden I started to freak out about it a little bit. It was an amazing weekend though with good friends, good fun and inappropriate pictures haha! It started Friday night when we went to Skybar and there was some DJ. It actually was really fun even though it kinda rained a little it was still a really great time! I hadn't been there in a while. We found some people to invite to the party as well. It was too bad (e:libertad) couldn't make it because he had to work the next day. Tanya made this amazing crown thing just like whoa while we were walking. It was really awesome. Here are some pics fromt he first night of bday celebrating





like every good celebration...I passed out

So Saturday I decorated my partyw ith a clearance theme. it was whataver decoratioins were on clearnance in any theme at party city mixed with dollar store items and my home collection of tablet confetti and streamers. Here are a few pics.






Then Saturday was my party. It was really great to see everyone. Unfortunately (e:metalpeter) couldn't make it so there is not much documentation of the night. I took 0 pictures. Actually knowing how some things ended up maybe it is better there isn't photos of everything. All in all it was an awesome night form what I remember, Some crazy freak show was getting a little crazy on the front lawn but there is one of those at every party haha. Once again I passed out in the backyard but someone was nice enough to put me in a sleeping bag. And i woke back up and got back into the party. I think Jello shots were my downfall? I think I did a bazillion, like one with every single person separately!










I got some amazing gifts like a wireless bluetooth JAM speaker box, captain, a handmade memory book card, an elephant puzzle, fancy glass, shot glass and to top off all the amazingness my brother made me this unicorn bicycle. It serioulsy is the most crazy thing I have ever seen I don't' even know how he did it but it really is the most amazing thing. I can't believe he thought of and created. It really rocks my world that he did this for me! I don't think pictures even do it justice. Granted I am a little terrifed to ride it because it is heavy and a little scary but I gotta do it cuz people are gonna be all jealous of my unicorn! it is definitely one of a kind. If I ever doubt I have the best brother in the world all I gotta do is look at this picture and realize that I do!

So I think I ended up writing a pretty great speech for jill's wedding, the right amount of fun and feelings and I think it was entertaining. Then last night (e:jill) tells me one thing she definitely does not want me to mention in the speech, and of course it is my opening and the best part! She seems like she will be really mad if I use it because she thinks it is too risque for conservative members of her family and her inlaws and makes her look bad but really it doesn't. If anything it makes her look better I think. I think if I just read it noone would react or think anything about it and would just think it is funny and she would realize she was wrong but I don't know. I don't want to make her upset at her wedding. But really without that piece it really ruins the whole speech, like i have to rewrite the whole thing because it kinda all works off of that. It's hard because we have lots of funny stories but so many are like inside jokes that noone would understand or they don't come across as funny to anyone but us. Other stories like just make us look like jerks or just are really boring wihtout too much backstory which you don't have time to give lots of backstory to something in a speech plus that makes it boring. So do I just go ahead and say waht i was gonna even though she expressly said she didn't want me to

I have to give a speech at Jill's wedding and I have no idea what to say. Those of you at (e:paul) an (e:terry) wedding know how terrible I did there so I really feel like I have been trying to prepare by reading up on wedding speeches and watching examples but really it has to be each person's own thing. like i have some ideas but I just cannot get it to come together in a speech. Here's hoping i can pull someting at least somewhat entertaing and meaningufl together by Saturday.

my Jilly it's getting married next week so last night we celebrated with Mexican, a personal ghost walk, cupcakes, and penis straws and alcohol. what a night !

Celebrating (e:jill)'s last week of singledom tonight!

I'm you're private dancer, dancer for money, do what you want me to do

So on my way to work today I was listening to Kiss 98.5 and they were saying if you see the ticket fairy somewhere in WNY this morning and you asked him he would give you tickets to Lil Wayne. I have never ever in my life seen the person/car/thing you are supposed to see to win but seriously soon as they were saying it there I was on the corner of Delaware and Delevan and there at the corner was aman in a tutu with a ticket fairy sign. THAT WAS MY CHANCE, noone else seemed to notice or care and I could have got out of my car and got those tickets BUT........ I was running late for work and today was my first day in my new job so I decided I couldn't waste the time and be late for work....it was really hard to drive on past that ticket fairy and then to add insult to energy , once I got to work and was telling the people in my new department they all said they would not have cared and I shouldh ave went for the tickets! Now I feel even more mad that I didn't stop! The moral of the story is ...when you see a fairy ask it to make your dreams come true and forget about the everyday work doldrums!
