Well I got the survey from (e:ladycroft)'s Journal [inlink]ladycroft,154[/inlink] (look below for answers). On a quick side note in today's paper in the first sunday section there articles about dating that I didn't get to read. I did find a very interesting article about some one I know and went to School with named Aaron Bartley. The term for Aaron I guess would be a community activist.

Go somewhare I have never been just to take pictures there


I think I may go through pictures as I watch the Bills game and get my mind ready for the sabres game. Sometimes looking through pictures can change your perspective on the year and if it changes any of my answers I may repost but who knows.

I went to see Trans-Siberian Ochestra on wensday night. They where amazing. The music was good plus they put on a great show. Sitting in section 200 I thought I wonder what a Hockey Game would look like from here. Those club level seats are to much for the Sabres. They where the only seat available when I went on line for tickets for tonights game they where around $70. Back to my point. I thought the show was awesome. If they come back next year in support of there new CD I would go again I also met Ladycroft's friends, they seem very nice. I also went to see smackdown last night. I had a lot of fun and there were some really good matchs. I was thinking about going to see Jeff Martin formaly of The Tea Party tonight. But I don't know any of his solo stuff. Plus I want to watch the sabres and wrestling. I really need two TV's in the same room so I can watch both at the same time. I know 3 people from work who are going to the game tonight seperatly one of them won tickets in the 200 club level (not sure what section). But any one in the club level can go to the resturant there and watch the game from there. I have heard they have great food, or atleast differant stuff then at the stands. I still can't decide what I want to do for the ball drop. I would kinda like to see it live it is more fun. But then again when by yourself then you feal more alone. But on TV you can watch all the differant specials and performances. But then again sometimes that can be depressing. A friend of mine that I work with is going to NYC to see the ball drop he left today that should be a blast. He was telling me that some hotel has a Suite that is $2,500 a night and you have a perfect view of the ball drop (he isn't doing that). I don't want to do anything to tiring (well I can think of a couple things I would like to do over and over again that are exhausting, if ya know what I mean) since I have a Sabres game on Sunday to go to. Hope everyone has a great Holiday.

First of all Carey thanks for your comments on the previous post. Secondly I don't know why as soon as I got home I felt this like emptyness or sadness kinda mixed togather. I don't know it is a weird fealing. I know I will have to great nights coming up then on the weekend go to a sabres game, so maybe it is an emotional let down. Maybe it is Holiday stress. Maybe it is needing Some Hatebreed and Rammstein blairing in my ears. maybe there is a dark presance in my apartment. "Hey dragons you are there to protect me, expell it please if that is the case, tigers help the dragons ok. It could also be that I often feal as if I don't have enough time in a day. Who knows maybe I just "need a dirty women, I need a dirty girl" i forget what song that is from but it is a great song. If i don't post again before The New year I hope everyone has a great New Years eve. I may check out Townballroom they are having something hosted by 92.9 Jack'd FM but who knows may stay in.

One thing you do hear about around this time of Year is taxes. I know it is still a little bit to early to think about it. If you keep all your recipts you can deduct how much you give to charity off your taxes. I belive it has to be at least a total of $500 and you can't get anything from it. For example if you give to Public TV and they send you some gift for pledging that would not be tax deductable. Some people who do give and are close to there amount will give during the holidays (before the new year starts) and then beable to take it off there taxes. I don't know exactly how it works. I don't know for example if you give to a Charity that is helping rebukld homes for the Tsunami if that counts or if they have to be US based. But for those that have the extra money giving is an Idea. I also don't know what legally makes someplace a chairty.

I had a bunch of thoughts I wanted to get down but some of them passed on my walk up to walgreens to get my pictures printed. But one that remained is about fealings. Oh I can't belive I just wrote that; I am about to write more about them. Am I only one who has met someone and thought they where really cool, and a great person, plus thought they are hot, but there just isn't that spark? I know it sounds kinda weird. It like you wish there was that excelerated heart beat or atleast something and there just isn't. But the fact that there isn't kinda bothers ya. Maybe I'm just really messed up and just don't know it.

Hope everyone had a fun christmas. I still have no idea what I'm doing for New Years eve. New Years day I have a Sabres game to go to. In any event (I know it is a little early) I hope everyone has a great time on New Years Eve and has a great 2006.



Below are some random Pictures from the holidays.

I had a nice Christmas. I was able to sleep in. Last night I watched Phantom Of the Opera (on hbo) and A christmas story and plus I got to see the Bills win and went to Dave and Busters for about an Hour played some games including skiball then went to Wendy's. After the family openend gifts we went to our friends house and had lots of food there. I will try and catch the end of the Football game and I think there might be a night game on also. In terms of gifts I got stuff I wanted and needed. I may be going to Media Play on monday since they are going out of business might be a good time to get movies or DVD/VCR depending on what they have left. If not a may go to the movies. I know there is Sabres game on I think at 7pm from home. This week I get to see Smackdown and Trans-Siberian Ochestra (Thanks to ladycroft, I will rock out for you the best I can). I may go to another concert on friday we shall see. Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday

Here are a couple pictures Hopefully I wil put up more of them I could tell that not all 5 are going to show up but enjoy the ones that do.
