Casino Niagara

We were here to celebrate the end of the semester and graduation for Rachel and Desi. Rachel, Terry, Holly, and I lost money, Desi won $75.

image

I definately thought I could like gambling. It started by dropping $1 in a machine and getting $9.

Next I lost $25. Now I hate it. My advice, don't gamble, however, definately come for free drinks and the earth-unfriendly buffet. There were seriously piles of shrimp, crab legs, organic mesclux mix salad, etc that the waitress told us would all be "thrown out" in 10 minutes, because it was almost closing time.

image

It seems crazy that so much food can go to waste, especially in such a poor place, as Rachel noted in her journal. I mean Niagara Falls is so poor that they decided to turn their convention center into a casino.

Lemonheads Inferior or Cheaper

Lemonheads are still only $.25 after the 20 some odd years since my childhood.

image

Does anyone else think its weird. Well, Holly, my smartest frined just figured out the missing link in this mystery. Remember, as a kid how lemonheads were made out beeswax and it was really weird that you were eating and thinking that bugs made it.

I am sure some of my friends thought about that. At least my brother, right? Anyways, They are now, no longer made of beewax but carnuba wax. Sound like a real price dropper. But what is carnuba wax afterall?


Well the google #1 search return for it is this:

••Carnuba Wax in Automotive Care•• Compare Prices & ...

Car Wash Chemicals: Liquid Carnuba Wax (1 gal)

Here is the actual definition from Soap and More:

The exudate from the leaves of the Brazilian wax palm treet used as a texturizer in foundation makeup, mascara, cream rouge, lipsticks and deadorant sticks.

Here is the official site of Ferrara Pan, the makers of Lemonheads and other tasty cleaning product substitutes.



Notice they changed many of the names of the products. What used to be Johnny Appleseeds are now Appleheads, and Alexander the Grape is now Grapehead. Maybe Michael will know how longs that has been affect, I sense a buyout. He is by the way the specialist on old Candy items and the only owner a an original Milk container gum pack from Fay's ->Eckert.

What does this mean for food? Is it, that for a good price, we will even feed our children cleaning products ingredients! I hope America has not come to this. Maybe we should just start feeding them pertoleum. It would be great for Haliburton.

Visiting UB

Well I am off to Ub for some unfinished business. Then I am going to spend the evening chillaxing (j. Ho 1998) and visiting Maria.

I ending up making a seahorse. I like it cause the tail curls on demand, as a good seahorse tail should.

image

Here is the seahorse Daddy teaching the baby seahorses to smoke cigarettes. This should not be mistaken for a pro-smoking advertsiement for children. It is only intended for seahorses. Which, of course cannot smoke underwater anyways. Unless maybe they are smoking those new eclipse cigarette, because I would bet money they could smoke underwater.

Check out eclipses cigarette, they are really scary.

Working

This is part of what I am working on. I am trying to make avatars for a virtual reality program. In the program the user only has control over the hands and the head. The mask/face rotates are the neck. The hands rotate from the shoulder.

I actually had to scan in my clothes for this one.

journal via steakout

I am at jim's steakout thinking how cool it is that I am in contact with rachel again via the site and that I can contact the site via the sidekick. Its like living with psychic powers. I hope everyone else has as much fun with the site as I do. Here is a pic of Tery at Jim's Steakout, one of our elmwood favorites. Well not really but it was closer than Pano's, truly one of our elmwood favorites. It took the pic with the sidekick Camera, which seems to do really well in bright light, like the circus lighting at Jim's.

image


Maybe we should do an audio based, aerial projected restaurant review page. What do you'l think. I think its time for more people to join. Invite your friends.

Where Am I Again

I am back working on school projects. At least I finished grading everything at this point. Now I only have to finish my own stuff which is due on Thursday. Sounds like a 48 stretch of work. I am honestly sick of it and would rather be working on adding new features to the site. But I will be busy jumping through flaming hoops. If you want to get a hold of me try the Sidekick links under my userPic and IM me or send me an email there.

I am so excited about Rachels aerial photo find. This is seriously going to be sweet.

typetastical moments

So thanks to the sidekick I am rwachable almsot 24/7 via sidekick. At first I thought I'd hate it but now it's began to extend my like in a very cyborgian way. I also always lets me acess the web so when my mind is failing, I can remind myself who I am and what time of day/weather situation I am supposed to be having in the real world.

Its is the third day of hearing about the lord of thr rings. I decided I don't want to see the mvie because I will be to busy celebrating the capture of sadam insane. I mean who wouldn't.

For some reason I don't feel the same kind of exhileration that I think my grandparents felt after V-day.

No Social Resposnibility

In my Intro to Digital Media Arts class, I assigned a blog to each student. While I did not regulate the content, they were supposed to use it as a way to publish their thoughts to the web in a forum where other students in the class and myself would read them. It was by no means a personal place and was readily available on the web.

It was a sort of a hold over until they learned to program web pages for themselves later in the semester. While most students were able to complete this sucessfully, some did not. I decided to include an excerpt here so that you can see what I am talking about. This entry is written by what I consider to be a spoiled-rich white kid.

This is what he wrote:

Life Sucks but the ML is sweet. It's about the only thing in my life that is consistantly sweet and never sucks. Even other things that are cool suck sometimes. Like Hockey's cool till you get hurt and sex is cool till you get shit on. (Haha, no I never got shit on but that would seriouslly suck) But the ML is forever the shit! That's why I'm an ML Gangsta for life! High till I Dizie!

Seriouslly though the ML is the coolest fucking thing ever. I can't wait for snowboarding this year. Fuck Yeah! 3 6 with Luke and sweet vids with the N's. And if we go on a snowboarding trip, we're doing the collegiate package to Killington which equals parties, snowboarding, and package. I'd rather go someplace warm but oh well this should still be sweet. We went there four years ago and it was tits money, especially the 10.25 mile run. That laster forever and I seriouslly almost blew a load like 10 times becuase I couldn't get over the astounding length of the run. After sking 10 second runs your whole life, 30 minutes blew my mind, and my load.

This weekend I have no plans. I'm gonna show Zac my car, hopefully he'll buy it, but that's it. Next weekend I'm making a skateboard rack with my dad but he can't do it this weekend becuase his eyes aren't ready after his surgery. What a homo, I'm just kidding my Dad's the shit.

So if anyone wants to party or play hockey IM me, NutBustenWildMan. Haha, amazing name. Anyways, I'll probably hang with the ML Crew. Maybe I'll go to Fredonia. I think it's awesome when we all hang out but lately that's been tough. So whenever it happens it's totally kick ass sweet.

Things with the X suck. It sucks becuase I still care about her. Even though it was my decision to break up it still sucks. And she met some dude that she talked to for awhile and sat next to in a movie that they were seeing with mutual friends. And it just sucks. In my fantasy world I would like to place a bomb under his car that would only take out a tire on the thrughway so he could have some horrible fear before he dead from an anonymous sniper when he got out of his car relieaved and unharmed.

As far as where I should go from here, I don't know. I have things in my life that I need to do like school and work. But other then that I don't know how to carry myself. I'm confused as far as what I want or what will make me happy. I guess nothing, so fuck it, I don't need anythiing to be happy I'll just do it. I still have my friends and they're the shit. They've always been there. Besides, I still have my nuts and a cock, and that's all I need.

Meadow Lakes,
Fourth Man

Today's Quote

This is so freakin' sick. I seriously cannot believe this is the CNN quote of the day. She gets it way to easy just cause she is black and a woman. At least in my opinion. I really think if she was a man people would be more critical of her but feel bad because she is the token minority in the royal court. This woman is as messed up as King George himself. How can she not be messed up, she had an oil tanker named after her.

Tonight's quote
"There's nothing I am worse at than long-term planning. I have never run my life that way. I believe that serendipity or fate or divine intervention has led me to a series of wholly implausible steps in my life. And I've been open to those twists and turns because I didn't have a long-term plan."
-National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice
