If thursday in the square
gets yanked I will flip out. Every single person I know who has lived in Buffalo and decided to leave leaves for the same reason. It really is a great place to live (minus the winter tundra that happens for 8 months out of the year) except the city planning at EVERY step goes wrong. Not just wrong but almost comically so. People sit on the monument everyday during the summer and eat lunch- so this is ok, but the crazy concert goers are not ok? Keep in mind these are the same people sitting eating lunch and going to see Thursday in the square. Buffalo is a great place but things like this remind me why I left. If i could live in Buffalo and make a decent living (Im talking 30k) and they cleaned up/revived the city a bit Id live there in a second. It just seems like another victim of old school politics doomed to follow in the same path of cities like Detroit. Poor Buffalo in my heart I still love you!!

In a nut shell...
Ugh I just had this long post about CL and why it rocks. Basically its all about the housing market. It allows poor suckas like myself to actually find a place w/o paying a scum sucking broker my entire paycheck for the next 4 months so I can live in a rat infested hovel. It by passes the middle man! Plus it is great for passing the time away at work. There are a lot of amusing posts by wackos. So in a nut shell there it is!

Out of the Loop
ok so here I am again posting about Buffalos fave landlord Peter Singer. I just saw ajay's posting about his EBAY business. I can't believe the extent of this. Years ago I was shocked about the extent of his rental crimes but now online too? I wish I would have been so much more vocal at the time. It may have prevented more people from getting scammed. There is an article about him in the Buffalo News and the DA is investigating him? Are you kidding me?! And he thinks he is in the right. Forgive me but usualy you have to do something sketchy to have the DA open an investigation against you. I just can't get over this. Seriously EPeeps we should unite and do something. Even though I am in NYC now I am so in to help out. I even have a buffalo based attorney that would do some pro-bono if need be.

Rain Rain Rain
So it poured in NYC yesterday leading me to have a 3 hour commute to no where. Included in this commute was a journey through Jersey City Street water up to my knees. Ew. When I envisoned moving here I thought I would be more Sex in the City than Swamp in the City. Needless to say I never made it into work.

So whats up with Peter "I am a theif who steals from young poor kids" Singer? He has been sued a million times in the Buffalo Court system. Its public record. When I called to file suit against him w my old roommate the woman on the phone had a whole discussion with me about him and how basically he never paid but she could see he had been sued for the same thing a million times. Same thing when I filed against him w the BBB. I was one of many who filed for a mediation- which again he never responded to. So he calls people trash? Hmm, not showing up for a court date and lying seems pretty trashy to me. And thems is just the facts.

All I can say is the more you get the word out the less he will get away with this.

My mother is nuts (lilho, Paul, Terry, Matt, Mike and pretty much anyone else who knows Momma ho can verify this). When she heard about the rain she freaked and suggested I move to AZ. Hmmm, I am going to have to say no to that. She just kept going on and on.

Anyone looking for some new good music should check out Rilo Kyle. She was the female voice in Postal Service (for those of you who don't know Postal Service rocks!!).
