not much to say but I hope everyone enjoyed Mardi Gras even if it just was by watching American Idol. I like the fact that there are people who belive enoguh to wear ashes on ash wendsday. I saw one person today who did it in the form of a cross that is cool. I can respect that because ashs on your forhead just make you look like you are dirty and it looks kinda silly. I like the fact that someone can wear that on them and they don't have to debate there beliefs.

Fat Tuesday and its implicationsCategory: holiday
I hope that some people on this site got to see Buffalos Mardi Gras Parade and have a fun time out and about at the bar and get to see or expose lots of boobs. But my question is if a girl gives guys beads do they have to pull there pants down or whip it out or at least pull out there balls? It would seem fair, but that would change the holiday so much and would make things really get ugly quick. But back on track for a minute I have seen some good Mardi Gras pictures linked from an article on Buffalo.com The fact that they are still having Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a good sign. Some of the outfits I read about really bash Bush, Fema, and Leeve inspecters so it seems like for they are really imbrassing it. One of the Pictures was of Britney Spears and This Young actor from American Pie (the real senistive one who is also in that movie with Julia stiles).
But that brings up an important question. Is it ok to rebuild New Orleans? The Saints will play there next year. We know they will be hit with another Huricane at some time. Maybe it won't be for another 80 years but what if it is less then 5 years they won't be fixed up by then. They can get flooded from a bad rain storm since they are below sea level from what I understand. I also understand that it was a verry racialy devided city and there are a lot of poor blacks there. That is why blacks where on the news and not whites the whites left town. There is something known as beach erosin where beachs or any land on water breaks down and moves back or shifts. I think people need to relise this and maybe think twice about rebuildning New Orleans. If I give money and that money helps keep people there and then a storm hits next year and kills those people didn't I basicly kill them. I would say I did. In the article I read it said that parts of the ground are still wet. That is insane. I'm not saying lets leave the people who still want to live there. But what happens if we dump all this money into New Orleans then next year a Huricane destroys half of Miami and all of south beach then we have to rebuild it to. I know Humans want to fight mother nature. But is it really the smart thing to do. Maybe there could be a New New Orleans and you keep the french Quarter I don't know the gegrophy well enoguh to know.

that question is near to my heart, since I lived in New Orleans for 4 years. It's a weird place. Totally different from anywhere else. And I have heard people say that the only real reason to rebuild it would be sentimental. And I guess that's true to a point... The city had a bazillion problems even before the hurricane, but I still think it would be a shame to let it go. The culture, food, music, architecture, history... I might post some pix later.

"where not worthy"Category: relationships
Before I get into last night and my topic I wanted to give this link 
It is an article about bog sites in buffalo from the Buffalo News. I think it is good that (e:strip) was mentioned. I belive it was the first time ever in the news.
Over the weekend I was In a chat with (e:ladycroft) that really got my mind going last night. Or maybe it was just that I was tired and missed the first few minutes of The L Word and that and some of the closing ceremonies of the olympics; not sure. Last night I had trouble sleeping for some reason also so recalling my thoughts may come across in a strange way. I think that a lot of us guys are affraid of good girls. Yeah the slutly girls, or the dumb girls, or the ladies who only party and don't do anything with there lives are easy to take. But rad chicks who like sports. Or who are really smart. Or who have travled the world or are super busy. They are verry intimadating because we can feal that we arn't worthy or that why would they be with us. Sometimes we think wow they are so busy when would they have time for us and that can be a problem. I think another thing that hurts our self estem or confidance in our selves is that a lot of people lie or tell half turths and we know this so we don't know if ladies are telling us the truth or lieing to us. When it is some chick who is only a one night who cares. But when it is someone rad and we think that maybe she is saying stuff about how we are cool or good in bed or rad ourselves to not hurt us. Yeah so this soundend a lot better in my head last night. Sometimes a great chick is a lot more pressure for us guys. With how fast my mind was racing last night I knew if I wasn't able to post it then that it wouldn't come out right. Last night was verry strange I was fealling kinda down and not really lonely but sord of but once I started watching TV I mellowed a bit. I saw part of really funny cartoon on Adult swim called Moral Oral it was great maybe that is what put me over the limit or maybe I just wanted some hot chick to talk to, who knows.
For the ladies of (e:strip) I think I may need to start that service. Granted I don't have a cell phone or a car to get to anyone so I doubt the service will go anywhare really. Some people for theropy like to start politcal fights and name call online. But I'll take ladies hitting me if it makes them or myself feal better. I know there is something I'm forgetting. I wish I could write my thoughts the way they came flying out last night, they where driving me insane. If I feal I need to post before I go to bed it may be an addiction. On another note there is the lady I work with who if she gets mad or looks upset I always tell her she can take it out on me, she never does, but thinks it is funny. Oh in case no one can tell I'm a little fucked up in the head.

Well, I don't know if this is it, but on some level, most of us think pain=punishment. So if you feel you deserve punishment - or feel you want to be recognized for deserving punishment - that could be something you crave. Or, if you're taking that pain on someone else's behalf, you could welcome it. it could mean a lot - or it could just mean you just don't mind a certain type of pain. anyway - thanks for sharing. I don't know if we'll ever get to the bottom of it, but it's interesting!

The thing that is weird is that I like some pain but hate other types of pain. maybe it is just a sexual thing who knows. The scapring or scathing kind of pain or joint pain drives me insane. But other kinds of pain still hurt but up to a certain point also feal good, I wish I could describe it better.

That is not as fucked up as it might sound or seem. Mothers sacrifice themselves for their children all the time. It's a very nurturing instinct to want to take the pain on behalf of someone else. It's just harder to understand if there's no relationship there. But if you feel the relationship - or feel strong enough to take it on behalf of someone who can't - that's a noble thing.

Suicide EatersCategory: movies
Recently I have seen two good Documentaries that I taped. One of them is really a TV series and the other not sure if it would be considered a documentary by film makers but I really enjoyed both of them.
The first one was called "Sucide Girls the first Tour". That was interesting there were some really hot ladies in that. There was one quick shot of Niagara Falls in it. There was some good perfomances and great nudity. But there was also footage of the girls on tour. It was about the girls who toured and it did get into the site a little bit but it is tough to cover the site when there are so many ladies on that site.
[inlink]emily,66[/inlink] (past post on it). Not that there are any sites that I currently pay for other then webshots if I was going to join an adult site that is the one I would join . I don't go there verry often at all because there are so many girls it is overwhelming. In any event I know there have been a few posts about them I wanted to talk more about the show about the tour. They came to ICON last summer I think I don't know why I didn't go I really should have.
The Second one was part of MTV News Documentary series called True Life. This one Followed 3 Competative eaters. I found it interesting how some of them trained . Some with weights some with eating things to stretch there somach. One of the guys was the Japanase guy who holds the record for eating the most hotdogs.

Self PromotionCategory: advertising
Today I had to work. I didn't want to be there is a lot of work. On wendsday I may get to meet Dave Mira. If it works out that would be awesome. He is supposed to be at the company I work at. He does Adds for Oxy not sure if they are one of his sponers but I do know they Had some adds at the X games. Today on break I was Reading the Paper and found this article in the business section about Cliff Claven aka John Ratzenberger. Hopefully it will increase sales and profits and how much work we have. Hopefully I will have some issues or more interesting things to post about. Maybe I will have a crazzy dream or something.
In the first ad, John Ratzenberger offers advice on Mentholatum's WellPatch to a "canoe guy' with sore muscles.
John Ratzenberger used a WellPatch on his leg after mountain bike riding.
Mentholatum hires 'Cliff Claven'
'Cheers' actor will wear firm's WellPatch in TV commercials
By MICHELLE KEARNS
News Business Reporter
2/25/2006
A national ad that begins airing on TV stations today features the actor who played postman Cliff Claven in the 1980s sitcom Cheers, a canoeist with a sore arm, medicine made by the local Mentholatum Co. and the creative work of a small Orchard Park firm.
"They let me make up my own lines and they let me have fun, so it was a pleasant experience," said actor John Ratzenberger, whose latest work includes voices for Pixar animated movies and hosting the Travel Channel's "Made in America" show.
In the new commercial, developed by Campbell Associates, Ratzenberger appears driving an RV as he does in the Made in America shows, which are about U.S. made products - including Westfield's Welch's grape juice and Olean's Cutco knives.
In the first ad to debut for Mentholatum's WellPatch - medicine patches that work like nicotine patches - Ratzenberger pulls up to a lake somewhere in the Pacific Northwest. He sees a canoeist rubbing his shoulder and calls out to the "canoe guy," a reference Ratzenberger ad-libbed into the script. "Hey canoe guy, try a little WellPatch relief on those sore muscles," the actor says in the spot.
The script for the ad was written by Bob Campbell, president of Campbell Associates, a four-member ad firm that counts Mentholatum as its chief client. Another Orchard Park firm, Media Pros, arranged for scheduling the commercials.
"They are the largest national ad spenders in Western New York," said Ken Dobmeier, president of Media Pros.
WellPatches come in formulations for muscle aches, arthritis, migraine headaches and coughs and colds. They first came out four years ago. Ratzenberger said he had friends and family try them before he agreed to be spokesman. "They all reported back that this stuff actually works and so I said, "Yes,' " recalled Ratzenberger, who tried one on his leg after a strain from mountain bike riding.
Campbell said the actor was a creative pleasure to work with, improving the commercials with his suggestions. "Every time he added something, he added something that was a keeper," Campbell said.

actually when the priest puts the ashes on your forehead it is the sign of the cross...sometimes its gets smudged. i also respect the fact that people take a lot of time to reflect on their own spirituality instead of throwing their arms up and say its not for me.
i've had so much catholic education its scary but what they taught me wasn't how people characterize catholic education. they taught me a foundation for living and acting as a conscious member of society and i really listened to what they were saying, eventually to find my own niche as a christian-buddist.
