[inlink]michmoon,3[/inlink] First of all that is to bad. Thank you for sharing that story. I know that differant countries and differant cultures have differant practices. It is to bad that there is a stigma on shrinks. It is to bad that no one could help her. I admit that in this country it is common place and often very excepted. However there is still somewhat of a stigma attached to it for some people and it some fields. Calling them shrinks is a testament to that. There are still a lot of people in this country who take their own lives and who never seek help for their problems. Some of it could be because they think of shrinks as wacko's I really don't know. But people who do get professonal help still do wind up killing themselves. [bgcolor]#00c08d[/bgcolor]

This Weekend I saw a great concert tonight at ICON Downtown. It is Soulfly, Stemm and 2 other bands I don't remember. However I became sick and got tired so I'm not going. On monday I almost bought Tickets, If I would have then I would be there tonight having a lot of fun. But then I might never get any better. I hope the people who are there have a blast and have lots of fun for me. I belive on Saturday Hoobastank and Velvet Revovler Tickets go On sale. That should be an amazing show. They Should be Guns N' Roses and Not Axel. However that brings me up to an interesting point. I don't understand that if you write a song how you can't have the rights to it. For Example The Beatles Should have the rights to anysongs that any of them wrote. The writes shouldn't be owned by a record company who can then sell them to the highest bidder then some other artist (like Micheal Jackson) gets all the royalties, that is insane. I also Heard Motley Crue is coming to Darrian Lake. I bet that will be an amazing show. I saw Vince last summer at Thursday In the square and he was amazing. I wish I could go see the entire band that would be awesome.[bgcolor]#00fd00[/bgcolor]

[inlink]ajay,279[/inlink]First of all I like that picture it is nice and sexy but dosn't really show anything so it isn't grafic. I admit I don't understand what people are saying about Craft and Art. To me it dosn't make sense. I think City Hall looks amazing I think it looks cool. Now if I understand this right since it functions as a building it is not art it is a craft. Maybe that is a bad example. What if You mould a bowl would that be a craft and how you paint it be art? But what about the fact that how that building was made hade choices. There all sorts of animals and things that I have no idea what they are bulit into the outside of the building. Who ever made that building didn't have to put that in. Maybe I just don't get it.

What about Buildings in General. I know that buldings do serve a function and that is primary. But there is also an athestic quality to them. If there wasn't then no one would care that Pano wants to destroy the house next to his resturant. I have seen some amazing looking buildings In Buffalo, Cleveland, and Toronto and some on the web.

Someone mentioned that they don't think that violance is art. I have to disagree on that one. Some of the coolest looking art that I have seen has been in comic books and Animee. Is all of that violant no but that dosn't mean that something being violant disqualifies something as art. But just because something is vilant dosn't make it art either. I think is is a lot of great vilant art in Kill Bil, but that is just me.

I admit I wish I had the talent to draw well. I would love to be able to paint dragons, make city scapes, be a tatoo artist or even maniuplate photos and other stuff also. But I admit it is a talent I don't have. But I try not to judge what is art and what isn't. If I see something that looks like art to me then it is. I have had a couple of friends who are very good at art. You see a picture they drew and you think it is good. And they say no and they point out where they messed up or how it isn't just right and i find that amazing. My main point is that there is a lot of art that I don't understand or get. What I try to do is not judge it as not being art. I just say I don't get it or I don't like it.

[inlink]aswierat,7[/inlink] I think that the Parks should stay open and things should be funded. But raising the tax is not the answer. The problem is that Giamabra is a criminal who hires all his buddies and they do nothing. Some Jobs can be cut. But our taxes shouldn't go to support Giambra and his friends. Let the city run the parks. Regionalism is a great idea but the way they want to do it is wrong. What should happen is that Buffalo, Cheektowoga, Kenmore, Tonawanda and some of the area behind UB all become One City. You would still need all the police and Firefighters and other services but you could get rid of allot of over laping jobs that are basicly supervisors. Merging the city of Buffalo into part of the county dosn't make a lot of sense. Yes you would cut some jobs but then the city wouldn't really exsit anymore. Giambra and his croonies need to go. Reginalism does work but they need to come up with a better plan then they have now.

I admit it I watched the Oscars. But I was unable to stay awake for the entire show. I liked What I saw of Chris Rock. I thought it was funny that he made fun of himself and Jude Law. I think Jude Law is a Superstar. He was supposdly done doing movies a few years ago. But then he came back to do some special movie and now is in a bunch of differant movies I did see this amazing add but I don't know if it was last night or not. It is for Afflect and this duck is doing all sorts of stuff for this guy who is injuried like paying the bills and Then the Chinese food comes and Duck is mentioned and the money gets droped. Oh that reminds me of that Pizza hut Commerical Why is miss piggy being a canabial and eating Peporoni, that is just wrong. But back to my point I liked the whole why didn't this movie work thing about the stars. But I thought the interviews at the Magic Johnson Theatre where great. There are a lot of entertaining movies that Never get Nominated for awards. But then again with movies Like Lemony Shinckts, The Increadables and Shrek 2 you can see why. I think the oscars need to expand some and add more awards. I think Team America World Police was great. I think they should have awards for Each Genre of Movie It would be more fair that way. You could have a great horror Movie and it would never be nominatd for best picture. I had something else I wanted to rant about. OH yeah the Tim Robbins moment that was perfect. I saw robins on Bill Maher and he looked completly lost the entire time.
