NFL
Category: sports
Last night before WWE came on I watched about an Hour of the Steelers Vs. Philadelphia. I don't know who wound up winning. I did check in on it during the breaks in wrestling. I'm really looking forward to regular season starting. I'm usaly a 3 game person depending on who is playing. I watch the two day games and then the game at night. The Bills are not the only team I like. I'm not a Falcons fan but I like to watch there games becuase watching Vick is fun. The same can be said of the Packers sord of. I'm not a packers fan but a like Farve. But what i find interesting is that in California it is 3 hours earlier. Since they are live that might be odd waking up that early to watch football. But at the same time the 8pm game would be on at five and over around 8 or 9 then you could still watch your prime time programing. Or at least this Is how I assume it would work I'm sure twisted could give me more info on watching live TV based on eastcoast times.

Brawl
Yesterday I went to the Ball Park Brawl V. It was a lot of fun and the bisons won wich is cool. Charlie Haas and Jackie formaly of WWE where there and she won her match and Charlie wound up in a great match winning the Natural heavyweight title and then he wound up attacking Harry Smith (son of davy boy smith) to set up a match today after the rochester game. Sabu and the Sandman had a great main event match. Mic Foley did comentary and wound up counting the 3 count. Todd Gordon who was a big part Of ECW was in the sandman's corner. It was a lot of fun and I had great seats in the second row. To bad greenday had to be on the same day. On my way to the wrestling I saw an add for "The Stripteasers" at nietiches but I missed it, it was on friday I was pissed. I did go to the Karibana fest. It was small and some people warn't set up and those that did didn't have anything on the grill. I'm guessing they where figureing they needed to be set up by the end of the parade. Not sure when the music started but there was a stage set up.

Weekend
Category: events
[inlink]metalpeter,401[/inlink] in a previous Journal I mentioned the Karibana festival on saturday and sunday. I found there web site it is www.buffalokaribana.org . They have information about some of theings going on and the parade on saturday. Also on Saturday is the BallParkBrawl. It is the bisons game followed by wrestling matchs. It is a really neat event. I would list the matchs but they will most likely change. The main event is supposed to be The Sandman Vs. Sabu. Plus Mick Foley will be there and a bunch of other wrestlers. That same night at the HSBC Arena Greenday is perfoming and Jimmy Ear World is the opening act. That should be an amazing show. Then there is the canal series I belive it is called for free you can see Everclear and I belive Last Conservative is the opening act, they are a good band. If for no other reason then to watch there lead singer on stage. Plus there is the fair also. I will be going to see the Bus Derby next weekend not sure what events are going on there this weekend. I'm sure there is more stuff going on but these are just the things I know about. I hope the weather is nice since I'm going to be out doors all day watching baseball and wrestling. I don't want to have to worry about what they would do if it rains, it had better not rain.

Always sunny...
Category: tv
On Thursday Nights there are two new comedies on FX. One of them is Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and the other is called straved. I will say that they are both a little out there. I taped the repeats of the first episodes last night and the new episodes are on at 10pm tonight. I'm not sure when they are repeated. I thought the first episone of always sunny was great. I really found it funny. Straved was not funny to me. But comedy shows go episode by episode or at least for me. I also watched the the new episode of Over There, it was a verry good episode I think that is a great show also. All 3 shows have a warning about mature subject matter. But what I don't understand is that movies, TV shows, and music all have warning labels or notifactions on them but why not commericals. For example there is that anti smoking add where they show all that goo that bulit up in an artery that looks like cottage chese that is gross. If I where eating I might puke. How about victoria secert adds. Those are some huge busty and heavly clevaged adds they don't bother me but for some young kid I don't know as they should see that. If people are warned about footage that might offend why not on commericals? I know that they are what is used to make money for the TV stations and TV programing but if the Warnings are to truely protect people then adds that might offend people should be pulled. Like what about Condom ads and parents who teach there kids that sex before marriage is wrong. I think if this trend continues we may start seeing the most sex and violance in ads as opposed to shows. But maybe there are restrictions on ads that I don't know about. I know I saw some anti drug commerical where there was some real dead girl in a morg. I don't want to see that give me a warning first. [bgcolor]#00ff00[/bgcolor]

I totally agree about that smoking ad with the clogged artery. I don;t believ that was all from smoking but it did make me stop for a week once.

Karibana
Category: event
I picked up the new artvoice today (Jason's toliet papper, kidding of course, I thought it was a funny joke anyways). I see that on saturday and sunday downtown there is a Karibana festival. I belive it starts at noon both days. There wasn't a lot of information about it but it sounds interesting. I'm guessing there is more information about it on line somewhere or in the events section of the artvoice.

Artvoice can also be used as a bird cage liner or for lining the tray you put your kitty litter in. Or just wipe your butt with it.
