Ortiz brand tuna in a jar
tuna I ever had. (e:hodown) made tuna melt bagels for breakfast yesterday
because all the bagel shops were closed. Seeing as it's $10/ jar I
don't get it very often but it's so worth it.

What Happend To The Fairwest
been pretty much out of commission all week. I finally feel okay today.
Anyways, when I walked by I noticed the fairwest building at the
corner of allen and north pearl is boarded up. That now makes a whole
block that is out of commision. Plus friends across the street. I
wonder what happened to fairwest? I hope they knock it all down and
start over. The last building connected with all the junk in the
window smells so bad in the warm weather. I called the police once
when like 10,000,000 flies were inside. I figures it meant something
was dead inside. Then someone else broke the window.
It looks so freakin ghetto now.

Back to work
With all the fun of the weekend, I managed to lose about 6 pounds. So much for all that work at the gym. Hopefully, I am just super dehydrated and some of it will come back.
In my dream ast night, the guy, who had been trying to kill me in my dreams throughout the weekend drama, made up and he promised not to kill me. So thats good I guess.
Luckily, the playstation had this fun game to occupy my the few hours I was up.
I really like the playstation network, they have so many games you can demo or buy. I beats having to go to the store, escpecially when your car and yourself are both broken.

What I mean is this strange working class elitism reinforced by sports fanaticism. These articles and conversations that make Buffalo out to be little more than a frozen shit hole where you can only get drunk and watch sports exposes the fundamental disconnect between the people who are working to create something, and those who wish to gain some level of "street cred" for having grown up in a rust belt city.
Personally I think the unfriendly experiences this ex-pat writer has in other cities is probably rooted in his air of superiority. He probably tells his friends how much cooler than them he is for having spent time here.
reading that article is like being illiterate in a walk in freezer.
