A Hotel???? A Hotel????Category: local
I just don't see the point in having a new hotel on the strip. What a silly idea. I wonder what genius financial minds decided it would be economically feasible to do this. I foresee it being used to capacity probably a couple of times a year.
This is something I've written about in the past - the suburbanization of Elmwood. The strip I moved to in 2001 is nothing like the strip I know in 2006. Holy fucking shit, we do NOT need to transform the strip into some kind of Williamsville-esque plaything for the blue bloods and the wannabes. There IS something wrong with making the strip an upper class place. It would cease to be the unique, varied, fun place I fell in love with. I would be horribly embarrassed to be living in a place associated with the word swank. Do you know what being swanky means? It means classism, it means a homogenous population, it means being exclusionary - these are all things that go directly against our notion of what makes Elmwood great. I don't want any more of those fucking horrible robotic suburbanite princess bitches on my block, trolling for single 30-something guys with cash, unless they are wearing next to nothing so I can enjoy checking out their bodies.
I mean, for fucks sake, they are already infiltrating The Pink! Is nothing sacred anymore?

Hmm. That's not what I was trying to get at by saying swanky, but I see what you're saying...

oh, ok. it's a silly idea.
here's a question or two:
Should taxpayer money be used to prevent this hotel from being built?
Should taxpayer money be used to prevent the houses in question from being torn down as they were in the case of the house next to Pano's?
Or, perhaps, to put it more neutrally what do you suggest be done to prevent the hotel from being built?

I don't know what to say man... sounds like you're in some serious heartbreak. All I can say is: stay away from the booze and that other crap. it doesn't help. it just makes it worse.
I can tell you what works for me: being in nature. being outdoors is the most soothing thing I can do. try it. you'll like it.
Hope you feel better. And get rid of the negative feelings inside; they'll just eat you like acid.
I feel for you man. good luck.

Oh Jason.
You break my heart.
I was going to write some big thing to try to cheer you up.
But instead I'll just say-
(((hugs)))
I know we barely know each other, but my ear/shoulder is always available.
(seriously.)

Pimping LegendCategory: pimping
I want to say that an unnamed friend of mine entered himself into pimping legend by calling the various cameramen in the HSBC Arena (he works with them) and getting himself, along with his female guest, on the Kiss Cam during Saturday's Sabres game..
What is the Kiss Cam, you may ask?
During a break in the game, the cameramen pan around the arena at various couples, and when the couples see themselves on the camera, they kiss each other. By securing himself a smooch with his ladyfriend in such a diabolical fashion, he left a lasting impression amongst his friends.
Cheers!

I knew people that went to Lakehead. No one said good or bad things about it back then. I wonder if it has changed much.
This banning of things for the safety of the students sounds so Canadian to me. They will have to involve some sort of "Ministry of" to find out if a study should be taken so they can send the info to the next "Ministry of" and they can decide if they want to re-Wifi everything. Should be called the Ministry of Silly, if you ask me. Ah, tax dollars at work...
laaaaame. Are they banning cellphones while they're at it? I think I'd transfer out. ;)
