Crackheads

So my friend's car got broken into this morning. They broke the window to grab a $20 portable CD player. The car was parked right on Elmwood between Allen and Virginia.

In a way I feel it was my fault. I should have been more persist ant for her to come down here and spend the night as I was casually mentioning to when she called after I got off of work last night.

My buddy Jeff was right. In my neighborhood it is like a nice "Easter Basket" nothing bad happens and it's that warm and fuzzy feeling :-/

This is just evident that I have to be sliding by on something when it comes to women. It sure isn't my Don Juan suave that is doing the job that is for sure.

I'll think I'll change this journal name to Mr. Passive or something along those lines.

I'm catholic and italian, not to mention the most open minded person that I know. I spent lots of time growing up in kenmore, buffalo, amherst and niagara falls while attending various schools and working. I don't think I'm an exception to the rule either. My neighbor, who also happens to be catholic, is one of the most brilliant painters/artists I've ever met.

Long story short - there's diversity every where, it's just more concentrated and prevelant where the population is denser. and the same goes for open/closed minded individuals and you proved it with that belief on the topic.

I still like it here though, there's pros and cons everywhere. in Allentown, you can't keep anything in your car over night, but you can walk anywhere you need to go, and the trip is always scenic.

matthew writes at 04:12:47 04/26/06 - Comment #7043: i should have been more clear, i meant open-minded as in "everyone doesn't look/act the same". Haha. I'm talking about diversity! And it's living in and around diversity that creates open-mindedness (i belive). I wasn't talking so much from a political point of view. How many non-WASP's live in east aurora or williamsville? not many. why? because of close-minded people.

I think there's sections of the 'burbs with every bit as mich personality as Allentown. (i.e. East Aurora... very quaint and charming) An open-minded view would see that there's good and bad in both places. I think elmwood/allen is rather closed minded when it comes to conservatives. If the area is so open-minded, walk around in a "George Bush Rules!" t-shirt for a day. (The idea's laughable, isn't it?)I'm not conservative and I'm not liberal, and I seem to think noplace is terribly open-minded in Buffalo, quite frankly.

matthew writes at 03:38:06 04/26/06 - Comment #7040: where is your neighborhood? Allen & Elmwood can be pretty sketchy at times. But most of the people in the area would agree that things are getting a lot better. It just takes people with positive attitudes who want to see things change in their community.

At least it has personality and an open-minded community. These are somethings the suburbs will probably never have.

Last week I left a portible boom box, a case of wegman's bottled water and my rollerblades on my porch. the next day I woke up and everything was still there. am I lucky, maybe; do I live in a great nieghborhood; maybe, did I beat the shit out of a few punks that stole stuff right out of my house years ago, yes; did they finally move, yes.
plus I never lock my trucks with valuables in the glove box. (gotta stop doing that) but it goes to show you it's not so bad in the burbs
