$7000 freakin dollars of paint

My dad just called after meeting with the painter for an estimate on painting the house that (e:matthew), (e:terry) and I own and rent. Looks like it is going to cost $7000 to paint the rental property. You can see a picture of it here (e:paul,3373) I think instead I will just spend the next few weekends paiting it myself accept for the high peak. I figure buying even expensive ladders and tools will be worth it because we will need them for our own house at some point anyways. My father is calling aroudn today to see if we can get a better quote. I think that quote is outrageous seeing as the whole first floor is brick.

(e:terry) hates paint and (e:matthew) doesn't want to do any work on it which leaves me kin dof alone although i bet hey will change their mind when they see it cost $7000. I rememeber my grandmother telling this story about how on the other side of the house, where there is no porch, that my grandfather painted the peak by having my grandmother sit on a plank out the window while he walked out on it. He was much more of a daredevil than me. Three stories up on a small plank over a concrete slab backyard sounds like an easy way to die.

Jimmy Macs and Panos

I wen tto Jimmy Mac's the other day for a hamburger. There hamburgers have always been huge but this one was insane. There hamburgers are so freakin' tasty, I wonder why there is almost never anyone in the restaurant.

image

image

Pano's has lots of rules now. I had their chicken soulvlaki. Whiel I thought the meat was good I would never eat it again as the salad was a disgusting blend of white and brown yucky iceberg lettuce. I didn't think anywhere served that kind of junk lettuce anymore.

Sushi Place

I have been wanting to go to this Sushi place in Williamsville for so long but I could never remember where it was located. Finally, I remembered who I went with lasttime and contacted them (e:rzoo) about the directions. Turns out it is on maple road. They have this really cool wooden furniture when you walk in. The last time I went a squirrel came in from outside and it was all crazy. I find it hard to believe it didn't get on my journal but I think it was around this time paul,3245

Does anyone want to go tomorrow night?

Fuji Grill (MAP TO: 736%20MAPLE%20RD)
736 Maple Rd
Williamsville, NY 14221

My usersound is this cheesy techno song by Scooter, an english DJ that was popular in Germany circa 1996. I love it when he says super muschi and the way he laughs. He kind of reminds me of (e:terry).

Wow soon I will be able to refer to everything as a journal entry in the past.

Here you can see it's ghost rising from it's body.

Happy Earth Day

I went with (e:matthew) and (e:terry) on an (e:matthew,725) photo hunting adventures. I hadn't been to deleware park yet this year and what better a day for explorer city nature than earth day. I have to say, just as (e:libertad,17) had mentioned there were lots of dead fish. In fact I don't think anything can live in that lake anymore. It seriously needs to be dredged. It is so sad that a waterway can be so totally damaged.

image

image

image

image

The river runs though it - Scajacquada Creek
image

At least the surrounding park is beautiful.

image

As everyone is talking about, the businesses seem realy sad about the hotel. You all know how I feel about it. If not just search my journal for hotel.

image

image

image

What is the key to these tree tags?

image

I haven't been on elmwood in a long time apparently, as I did not notice this place before or maybe tehy just didn't have the flasg before?

image

This tulip was so bright that the red sensors on my camera could not deal with it.

image

On another note, I am going to be way hot be beach time.

image

My butt is getting so buff.

Silent Hill Inspiration

Today, I went to go see Silent Hill with my boss and co-worker. It was a pretty lame storyline but got me curious if it was based on any sort of real town. Turns out it is and that town is called Centralia, PA (WIKIPEDIA - Centralia%2C_Pennsylvania) and has been on fire for years.

image

you can see it here on gogle maps

in 1981, 12-year-old Todd Domboski fell into a sinkhole that suddenly opened beneath his feet. He was saved after a relative pulled him out of the hole, which was estimated to be hundreds of feet deep. The incident brought national attention to Centralia, and in 1984, Congress allocated more than $40 million for relocation efforts. Most of the residents accepted the buy-out offers and moved to nearby Mount Carmel and Ashland.

Robot or Dateline

So (e:hodown) was visiting and as everyday for the last week I recevie an IM from this random internet user which I think is a robot because they once mentioned smarterchild

I asked them what their favorite person in American Idol was and they said Kelly Pickler, then they said they wanted to have sex with me. I signed off figuring it was just some internet stalker. It's hard being a celebrity.

So anyways then today I was sitting here with (e:hodown) and the person Imed me again. I have blocked them multiuple tiems but they just chaneg screen names. This was (e:hodown) and tehir conversation today. Is it a robot? Is it dateline trying to entrap us in some child internet sex conversation? What the fuck is it?

Streets of bread

What the deal with the streets being full of bread. (e:mike) said it's a jewish thing, I can't understand why anyone would throw perfectly good food in the street. It's all over downtown.

Paul on the go

Don't step on lawn at Canisius High school the scumbags sprayed it but only have two little yellow flags that I didn't see till after I went through it.

I hope whoever made that choice dies of cancer.
image

Does anyone know more info about this?

image

This journal is about a lot of things. I kept meaning to post but I have been so freakin' busy and now I have a bunch of picture on my phone that need to go somewhere and I' in the car doin nothing so here it goes.

(e:terry) and I went to get the oil changed on Niagara Falls Blvd and had to waste an hour and a half. We decided to go shooping at the mall in order to buy some pants. I really only go there about once a year and let me tell you it changes a lot over time when you only see small time snippets of it each year. When I grew up it was mostly only white people with some black people at the mll. Today the mall has a huge cross section o all kinds of cultures. There were prob as many people from india and asia as there were black and whites. For a minute it seemed like a mall in toronto. I wonder if the population of these northern suburbs reflect that. I haven't lived or hung out around here since high school. When I went to high school I think there were one black person, one mulatto and maybe an asian person and a family of asianattos (irish and asian) and that was (e:hodown) and (e:lilho)'s family.

If the population has changed that much, I would say that the suburbs are more ethnically diverse than the city where it seems mostly black or white to me with the exception of the hispanic west side.

I know I am getting old now when all my clothing shopping needs can be met at Sears.

Who buys all these pre ripped in exact pattern jeans. It is sucha great idea for the company as they almost immediately require replacement.

I bought cyborg implant bluetooth headset at the wall so I don't have to touch my phone to my head.

Polish Water Ice - I wrote about it before never tried it till today. What we got was a cup filled italian lemon ice.

image

Frankly, I think the polish people that named this water-ice must have never tried lemon ice and thought they invented something new. Also, what the hell is up with that stupid name. Is ice not considered water in Poland?

Here is my theory. Polish people desperately wanted lemon ice but couldn't afford flavor so they told there kids it was a new yummy treat caled water ice.

image

Once in america they added flavoring agents and opened the stand in the mall. Here is their story:

image

Who are the people that make these animatronic setups. If it didn't seem so empty and meanginless I think I could enjoy that kind of job.

image

What is so weird is the televesion ont he side showing the event in real time. The even tyou are seeing in real time in full siz.e It makes no sense. According to (e:hodown) Kristina Kling's family goes to see this display every year. Those people can make some mean parmasean chicken wings and clams casino.

Bad Day

The car is broken at some engine level. I am praying for a timing belt level problem, unfortunately, the coolant light is on too. So it is probably something more sinsiter. One time driving around the country (e:terry) and I lost a car when it overheated. The fan belt ripped off the car at 90mph and by the time we slowed down on the highway, everything was on fire and smoking. No one got hurt but we lost our car and got stuck in an Amish resort town for two weeks and the car never moved again. They would go their to get cured at some natural healer guys hotel where we also stayed. I probably wrote about this before. We had to hitchhike out.

Anyways, so no car. I also have to deal with the paint at my tenants house or they are going to revoke the insurance, at least so the letter says. I did the stupidest thing. Last fall I scraped the paint on the front-top of the house but then it got to cold to paint so it looked like crap on the section I scraped. Yes, it was so dumb, I know but I am still learning about the whole land owning thing. That need to be dealt with today as well.

Then there is the thesis that is due in two weeks and still is not edited. Maybe I will work on it. Maybe. (e:shawnr) finished his. Good for him.

Honestly, I would rather just be at work programming right now.

Yesterday we at at fat bobs. Yummy fried cat fish.
