Toxic Tourism
Passengers on Toxic Bus Tour
image

This was a true toxic bus tour taken here in Western New York. I wonder how long they were on the tour for at this point? They look kind of pasty and ill, but maybe they were indoors all winter.

To the left you will see one of the many brown fields plaguing the area. Notice the ooze leaking from that barrel over there



image

I'm almost ready for my own tour. Right now i'm in the process of listing toxic sites and mapping them out. After visiting Lewiston's nuclear waste repository/chemical waste treatment facility and feeling quite ill in the process, I don't believe its safe to visit these areas even for just a minute. Still I go....

Ok, lets do it! It definitely would help to have someone that knows the area well with me...I'm still learning. Still need to do more research though. Maybe we can capitalize on this toxic tourism? We will be the toxic tourism capital of the world!
paul - 05/21/06 14:50
Let's go together, maybe we could do an estrip tour de toxicity.
libertad - 05/21/06 14:46
(e:paul), that is crazy that you played in that dirt pile. Very scary! Do you think if you get that geiger counter it will start beeping when you touch it? Hope not. I think I want to go on the toxic tour...I need to find out about that toxic tour guide man.
paul - 05/20/06 22:35
I wrote about it a couple years ago. That whole area freaks me the hell out. North of Kenmore avenue is glowing green toxic. :::link:::

Look its the same bus driver.

The Danza Slap
image

Last night (e:mike) mentioned the Danza Slap...I can't remember why. Maybe it was a threat or something?

Of course I wanted to see a pic of the Danza Slap, but a google search left me empty handed. I did find his classic nude but nothing else. Then I read that he went under the name Tony Nadz, but again, no luck. Here is a link to some celebrity nudes including Tony. My fav I think is Luke Perry. Does anyone know which of these pics are fakes? Can Dillon really be so huge? If you are over 18, please go to the link. If not, pretend you are, and just go in anyways.

The next link gives definitions of the Danza Slap.


  • DISCLAIMER* Libertad does not condone minors viewing Tony Danza or Luke Perry naked.

If anyone has seen footage of a Danza Slap....send me the link!

Hmmm, I wonder?
image

Is this for real? Has he appeared in porn?
image

Who's the Boss?
image


I'm pretty sure I have fantasized about this man when I was younger
image

Yes (e:jason), this is not appealing.

My Understanding is that the arnold one is real and is from a fitness magazine well some magizine not sure wich. One odd thing is that none of the guys are shaved or cut back low. I think they way the girl celeb sites work and maybe the guys is they have some legit photos, mostly from nude scenes in movies or maybe tabloids then have fake ones. That Makes it tough to tell that the fake ones are fake. Oh funny page about the Danza slap.
paul - 05/19/06 18:20
I think most of them are not real.
boxerboi - 05/19/06 18:19
hum. somehow in my fantasies they're bigger. :op
jason - 05/19/06 16:25
Ewwww....Kevin Bacon's "bacon" is in there. =P
paul - 05/19/06 15:54
You can post the pictures on your journal if you want. That way if they take them down from the website, they will still be here in your journal.

Adopt a Pig
There is a lonely guinea pig up for adoption at Elmwood Pet Supplies. Can someone please take him? He breaks my heart everytime I see him. I think his name is Chucky D? Tricolor and unusually friendly. There must be someone somewhere that wants him? I have never seen one crave so much attention.

On a side note, I wish that people would spend more time considering pets before they get them. Like dogs and cats, small animals are often neglected. Once the initial "oh your so cute" wears off they get sick of the constant care they require and get dumped at the local shelter. That is if they are lucky....others just "release" them into an environment they can't live in. I heard one story where this girl didn't want her guinea pig anymore and threw the cage with the pig in it into the trash. Disgusting!

Damn... i thought you meant little kid.

Then that 30 year old needs lessons in empathy and cruelty...
jenks - 05/19/06 14:11
long story short(ish), some friends of mine in college had "extra" mice (snake food) that they got 'sick of', and they knew I'd worked in a lab with mice, so they asked me to kill them humanely since I know how, and I said no way. So they said "fine, we'll put them in the microwave." Nice, huh?
libertad - 05/19/06 13:38
leetee,

I use the term "girl" loosely, often I am speaking of adult women. She is almost 30 actually, but mentally she really is a child.
leetee - 05/19/06 12:11
I agree. Throwing a living creature into a trash bin is disgusting. That child needs lessons in empathy and cruelty....

Vamos a cruzar la niagara...
In Cuba they actually have a saying that says "Vamos a cruzar la niagara por una bicicleta" (We are going to cross the niagara with a bicycle). It signifies that you are about to partake in a seemingly impossible task. I always think of this whenever I see the river that connects Lake Erie with Lake Ontario.

As I took a drive down Niagara Street the last day of March I had this saying in my head. I drove all the way to North Tonawanda thinking of the environmental devastation that has occurred along the river. I think about what it must have looked like before, before it became an industrial waste toilet. I thought about how the native people must have admired it's awesome power. I wonder if any of them ever got sucked over the falls while they were in a canoe, or ever used it to kill themselves? Could they even use a canoe on the Niagara?

My pictures are incomplete. Since I was driving by myself, I wasn't able to take many photos. Along the Niagara you can find the GM Powertrain plant, landfills, and numerous other monstrosities with the occasional glimpse of beauty, especially in Lewiston.

Most of the industry is long gone. The question is though, what have they left behind?

I parked my car here on Niagara and Albany. There was a path that leads to some train tracks...

Check out this satelite image of the bridge

This mural on the side of an abandoned Agway building says it all

image

This is one of the most economically devastated areas in the country...but we all know that.
image

Porn along the way
image

These next two buildings are cool
image

image

At this point things got real ugly. I need to take the trip again with someone else to get more of the nastier pics.
image

My voyage ended here at the River Walk in N. Tonawanda. There were lots of people out that day. The air was incredibly nasty, and I wondered why people go there for fun. In Western New York, like many areas of the world, we do not have the right to breath clean air.

uncutsaniflush,

I hope that you or anyone else for that matter do not take my pictures and words as an attack on the area in which we live. It is good to remember like you do the individual lives that were behind the industry. Those people made Buffalo one of the top cities of the U.S. Unfortunately, I often dwell upon the individual lives that have been touched by cancer and disease in the area due to the processing of toxic metals and uranium ore. I get kind of angry at the owners of industry which refused to take precautions with workers health and who shamefully dumped toxic and often radioactive materials into our environment. Many of those shameful people have abandoned these buildings as the cost of properly cleaning them up is too much. These people, along with their money are gone...leaving behind contaminants that are here to stay.

I'm sure there probably is much you can show me...got a bike?
uncutsaniflush - 05/16/06 19:56
There is a solemn beauty in decaying industrial areas. I look at them and think of the hopes and dreams of the people who built the buildings and of the people who worked in them trying to build a life for themselves and their families and friends.

we live two blocks from Niagara on Birds so we are fairly familiar with the area.

Good photos. I think b/w suits such scenes.

Some of us (me included) have lots of time on our hands. Enjoy the link. Just make sure you aren't playing music and you got the volume on.

Went to Rochester Saturday to spend the night with my friend Julie. Each drank a bottle of wine, watched Sex and the City and fucked around with her cat, Slick Rick. I have a video depicting what our friendship is about, but its way too grande, and it won't fit on gather. I even zipped it all up into a bundled winzip file. Oh well. It's great to have at least one real true friend. Somebody that is always there no matter how many years go by. I'm lucky to have many good friends. Julie definitely passes the test of time.

Sunday my Dad and I drove to Deposit NY for dinner at my Aunties and Uncles house. Grandma and Grandpa came as well as another Uncle and my little cousin....what a cutie! Had some ham, spinach salad (So f'n good) and sweet taters. For dessert, homemade ice cream cake with oreos, cherry garcia, coolwhip and chocolate ice cream. Spent many hours in the car with Daddy. (haha, I don't call him Daddy!) Originally, I told him I didn't want to go, because I didn't want to be in the car for 6..7..8...9 hours. I'm glad we went. Dad and I talked for most of the trip there. Communication between us has always been difficult, but times, they are a changin. I can talk about worldly issues with him and even though he doesn't always agree with me he listens and is respectful of my opinion. We have come a long way. Got home late last night and now am being lazy...tomorrow I will look for a job. So just get off my freakin back OK! hehe. Oh, I did good in my five classes this semester...yes! Not all A's like I had wanted, but not bad.

The rest of this post is a rant about computer frustrations, read on if you are so inclined.

Anyways, I don't like Quicktime its being a pain in the ass. Plus I have a printer that came straight from hell. HP DeskJet 1315 all in one. From the moment I got it there has been problems with the software. Now every time I load anything in the CD drives or the USB port the software goes through this configuring process. Someone said to download a new driver....so I guess I will do that again. Sometimes I wonder....are we really better off with computers?
