And now the other one

Her "check" was "stolen" so she has like half the money. We didn't have a lease for her until she paid the first month's rent. Now she is saying its not really convenient for her to have a lease. I think its time for her to go which brings us back to no tenants. Serioulsy, that house is making me bankrupt.

The Tenant Calls

So after more than a month of missing in action and being evicted, the tenant calls while I was leaving the botanical gardens today to say she is "so sorry about the inconvenience but her baby was sick and someone stole her phone." Serioulsy, think about it, you disappear and stop payng rent and never contact you landlord for over a month. The last time we heard from her was the beginning of February.

She says she will need a couple week to get the stuff out, something about her SSI stopping and having to switch to welfare. What does it take to get one responsible tenant.

The rental Property Saga Continues

So many things were happenng on friday. The nice part was getting new furniture. The upstairs looks a lot different now. Best of all, the den is comfortable ;)

While we were at the tenants, cleaning up in the attic we discovered just how much exra junk the last couple tenants left. I never thought to check th eback of the basement. I just assumed that no one had gone down there. Then I found they used it to store old broken appliances. Something I really don't get considering both appartment came with appliances that were of good quality, if not new.

So now in the basement I have so many scrap metal appliances. I hate it. I am sure all the metal is worth money but not enough to have to haul all the shit out. I knew about the old furnace, and two hand crank washing machine from another but not there is a broken refrigerator, a broken stove and a broken washing machine, argh. I also found like 4 probably broken small televisions

There is just an overwhelming amount of junk with that. I seriously need another two ton day at the dump. Next time all of our stuff is pretty much out so it will be easy to see if anything is left by tenants.

There was also some sort of garbage dump going on in the backyard, which is especially weird considering there were two empty ultra large size garbage totes.

It was filled with bags of diapers and stuff which cats or rats decided to pull apart. Fun. People are such scumbags.

Next step, now that we won the eviction proceding: we get to go pay the City Of Buffalo $105 to have them officially tell the missing tenant who abandoned the property, that she is out by pinning anotice on her door. Why that costs $105 is a mystery, considering she is no longer there. If we don't pay its not yet official.

After she is offically evicted, we get the pleasure of changing locks and cleaning up her ton of shit.

The best part of the whole thing was my aquisition of baby jesus in a coffin. If animatronic, old school style with a wind up key.

Now it's blockaded with concrete

This building near Allen and Main that I have been writing about just keeps collapsing. The previous posts were (e:paul,40420), (e:paul,40565), (e:paul,47704)

They finally put up a real blockade as people kept walking in front of it, which I am imagine was extremely dangerous.

I wonder if it's going to be rehabbed or demolished. Honestly, at this point I don't care either way so long as it's dealt with. I mean seriously , how long can it stay like this. I mean I live the facade but I think it's ridiculous to let it just collapse into the street.

On another note, my bosses boss announced she is leaving. I hope the
new person is awesome.

Courtside Eviction

So we are at court today to evict one of our tenants who doesn't live
there anymore and hasn't paid rent in months. The thing is she left
lots of stuff in the apartment and you can't just remove it without an
eviction proceding. If she actually shows up i might end up on court
for something else, lol. It's not just inconvenient, it costs money
to evict someone. The thing is if this ever happens again it is no
longer a mystery process and I will jump on it sooner. For example
with our new tenants that have not paid march rent yet - what the fuck!

So our sheet says the court case is at 9am but now that we got here
the courtoom we in in actually says the court opens at 9:30. Thanks
city of buffalo?

The real problem is that at 8:30 we put one dollar in the new style
parking meter. But now, because it's just a printed receipt instead
of a meter, there is no way to add time until later. I find that
super frustrating. You should be able to feed you old receipt in and
add money.

OMFG - DJ Andy C in Toronto 03/29/09

Destiny

is throwing a party at Circa on March 29th. For once all the stars line up. A huge club, my favorite DJ - Andy C

, a night I can go. I bought myself a ticket and one for (e:terry). I am so freakin excited. Also on the lineup Mystical Influence. I freaking can't wait it is going to be so awesome.

On these recordings you cannot hear the massive bass which is the most amazing part. You know those cars that hum with bass, this is like that x 10,000. The bass actualy shakes your body. Its such a great feeling.

My love of TV commercial music

It all started with Ingrid Michaelson's old navy commercial (e:paul,41443)

Then I heard this JC Penny song the other day

The Stony Rebels - Unbelievable

But the real winner was OMG "Oh My God" by Ida Maria that plays for the intro to the Gossip Girl Commercial.

Here is their site:

The wikipedia article:

Last FM:

I searched for so long before finding it. Okay for like 5 minutes but thats a lot for me. These one have seem to have potential. I love bands that have a lot of recordings on youtube. I also love their unpolished sound. It reminds me of my most favorite singer Kimya Dawson.

This is the more polished official video

This video, I live you so much better when you are naked is so inspired by Nina Hagen.

Dream about elmwood ave design

Last night before I went to sleep (e:matthew) told me about how elmwood enacted a design standard. I totally think thats great and support it. However, somehow in my dream it turned into some really grotesque, ultra modern, turqouise and blue, chunky plastic disaster. The bright blue was to represent the old blue neon lights on the tops of some of the buildings along the strip and the brown plastic was supposed to represent brick I think. It looked kind of like Room brown and blue meets 60s plastic future on the moon and had the same sheen as if it was made out of legos.

None of the parking lots were up front though.

I wish I had time to model what I am talking about.

Not Clean Shaven and Boobs

Don't try and outshine my blog with your empty promises of clean shaven (e:hodown,47934)

I swear I am buffer than the pics look, I am finally starting to really have a six pack but the fur makes it hard to see, lol. My back is also strong for the first time ever and I am actually within the healthy weight range for my height for once. I just wish my body was not an iphone advertisment. I really need a less conspicous camera.

After reviewing my photo album I decided that (e:hodown)'s boobs would boost the ratings even more and help make the journal have a little bit for everyone.

An the upclose version

Kiss my ratings butt - bisnatch, lol.

tinypliny writes at 06:05:07 03/15/09 - Comment #46498: Haha - actions speak louder than words?

joshua writes at 07:16:46 03/04/09 - Comment #46148: (e:paul) - nice work fella... do you think if you put on another 10 lbs. of muscle you'd be too beefcake?

(e:hodown) - what's so wrong about these? Now I wouldn't defend Paul for provoking you, but they are nice pictures. You have a really pretty smile in the first picture. Chesty girls have nowhere to hide!

mrdt writes at 06:59:36 03/04/09 - Comment #46145: Congratulations on your physical achievements, the both of you... It's taken me alomst 6 months to add 2 natural pounds of muscle. Your post has almost tempted me to come out of retirement with some shots in the buff but alas its winter and I'm heavy til May comes.

Also it must be nice to eat whatever - whenever and not worry about body fat...

You can always wait til summer and buzz the hair off with a beard trimmer.

metalpeter writes at 06:40:52 03/04/09 - Comment #46140: I forgot to mention Nice picture in the mirror. I don't know what the lighting is like but with a camera that has a flash you have to turn it off and be very still or figure out how to get the flash to light everything with out hitting the mirror, good job, or maybe you just used the natural lighting and that was enough.

metalpeter writes at 06:39:10 03/04/09 - Comment #46139: I agree with (e:Jenks) your right hand our left looks like you are jerking off and that like the cock was removed and then the leaf was put in. There isn't a way to do it on (e:strip) but what would really be funny is if Jessica's picture was next to Paul's so it looked like she was looking at him in the mirror. Of course there are ways to put pictures together so it looks like that. I'm not sure if I have any flab and I don't think I will try to compete with either of you 2 anyways, I think I have all ready shown more skin then I want to on this site, hope you two have fun with this little battle. That being said what Am I missing how do you know how many people saw each journal?

jenks writes at 05:07:01 03/04/09 - Comment #46127: lol I guess you're flexing in that first pic? that was not what I thought the left hand was doing at first.

hodown writes at 04:59:02 03/04/09 - Comment #46126: Paul my competition is NOT with you. However now that you've started this- game on sucka. Ok not really cause I don't plan on posting naked shots of me or my boobs. Just know that we are so not BFF right now and I know that hurts you.

theecarey writes at 04:04:49 03/04/09 - Comment #46121: Yes, Paul wins. If only for the fact that the leaf doesn't quite cover it all. Nice job!

libertad writes at 01:50:22 03/04/09 - Comment #46118: P.S. You are falling out of your leaf.

libertad writes at 01:49:30 03/04/09 - Comment #46117: I'm jealous but I will use my jealousy to get rid of my flab.

lilho writes at 11:59:13 03/04/09 - Comment #46113: i am so ok with (e:paul) and (e:jessica) creating scandal.... good job guys. and (e:paul), what a post!

paul writes at 10:11:32 03/04/09 - Comment #46112: That was before you started the competition.

hodown writes at 10:01:53 03/04/09 - Comment #46110: Wait Jerkface you said you wouldnt post those. You are so on FP (friend probation) & BP (Boob Probation).

matthew writes at 09:50:27 03/04/09 - Comment #46106: Yes, I am jealous of jessica's boobs.

businesscheese writes at 09:25:18 03/04/09 - Comment #46104: Paul wins, Jessica. Paul wins.

paul writes at 09:12:59 03/04/09 - Comment #46100: I think you are wrong you just refuse to look becaus eyou are jealous, lol.

matthew writes at 09:09:46 03/04/09 - Comment #46099: I hate to break it to you but these pics of you make you look WAY bigger than you do in real life, must be the tilt of the mirror. And jessica's boobs actually look smaller than they do in person!
