My master plan for getting some extra cash is having a bit of a down side. For the uninitiated, I usher at the Bills games down by some of the players suites where things are fairly tame.

The colder weather has its downsides when you have to stand around for six hours in it. I'll post some pics at some point. On one hand, it's kind of cool to place yourself iin something bigger. On the other hand, I'm looking at the security guys with a little suspicion after some drunken fucksticks allegedly beat up some New England fan at the last game. Most of the guys are pretty good and on the ball inside the stadium, but the forces aren't very numerous outside the stadium where the needs are just as great.

I'm not suppose to get security, just checking tickets and giving directions, but I had to break up a couple of knuckleheads yesterday. I got it done, but took a stumble into a railing so I've got a nice thigh bruise courtesy a couple of losers. The signed Bills helmet did little to make it hurt less.

The drive home was the cherry on the cake for me. I thought I was smart (smrt!) by scooting down milestrip rd and going to route 5 and basicially getting to our turf via the skyway. Now, everybody is fucking doing it. So, no matter how fast the Bills finish embarassing themselves, it's a hour wait till all the thruway guys get their entrance. Nothing like being a little stiff from standing, bruised from whathave ya and tired to really hate the fact that your great little car is a standard. That was pain. By the time I got home, I was walking like I was in an old western and not in a good way.

Nothing a hot shower and 3 pints of Guinness couldn't assist with.

I took the kids to "Flushed Away" on Saturday night as a precursor and it was so worth it. Lots of unabashed silly. Just the tonic. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, me or the kids. It was a reward for number one son. He had another Tae Kwon Do Tourney and medalled in forms. I got to help him get over his fear of sparing before he can make the next great leap.

On other fronts, Bill Maher on his last show proposed banning campaign commericals and I sort of think he has a point. Nothing has been gained from the tremendous waste of money in this area. Nobody has said anything of substance in their ads other than their approving of their messages. Nothing has been learned. No candidate be it democrat or republican has come out and said why we should select them. Reynolds and Davis are so busy taking shots at one another, there really isn't anyway to know what they stand for. The same holds true for most of the races out there.

Sad, really. That said, vote, peeps, vote
