First of all I understand that there are certain things you can't show on tv. For example I was fliping one night and there was this show Called Mile High it was on BBC America and there was these two guys and a naked chick in a steam room and they stard or coverd her nipples as an example that I understand. But what I don't like is when content or subject matter is edited out. Appartently that is what "Cartoon Wars" the two South Park Episodes where about. The issue was showing Muhamid as a cartoon chacarter. The Basic story line was that Family guy was going to have Him shown. In the end it turns out that Family Guy episode is aired and that they will show Mumhamid. There is a speach in there by Kyle about how you have to be able to make fun of everything and if you can't thank you shouldn't make fun of anything. As South Park is about to show Mumhamid the Screen goes black and there is a Message that Comedy Central wouldn't let them show it and it is explained right in the episode. I think it is great that they make jokes about how people are out hidding there head in the sand and how people are affrid riots will break out and everyone is going to die. Then they bash there own network for being the same way. I think Comedy Central should be ashemed. It is ok to Bash the Scincetologists but not the Muslums cause there might be a riot or they may get hate mail. I think it is bad enough that the we have less and less freedom in this country every day. But to compound that by not showing certain subject matter on TV shows is horrid. I think it is good for TV shows to have issues of race, politics and all kinds of issues. Yes it is only a TV show. But when people talk about that show with each other then those isssues are mentioned. Don't get me wrong I don't think a show should be all issues. A good Example of that was Ellen. It was a funny show. They Teased her coming out of the Closet on the show for a good long time and that was funny. But once she came out then that became the entire jist of the show and it lost how funny it was. On another note I had a good easter and watched most of the sabres game, great game. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Wow that was a year ago. I bought some peeps a few months ago and lost them. They warn't the new born or first born one and I just bought a package of them a few days ago. I plan on trying to fry them and see what happens. I guess I would just use oil. I read that the guy who invented the deep fried twinkie did snickers and I have heard peeps have been fried before but no recipe so I will try them stright up with out and coating and see what happens.

CrashCategory: movies
I admit that I didn't know what Crash was about and why everyone said it was so good but I watched it Yesterday it was a verry well writen movie and verry powerfull and I really enjoyed it. there was a good amount of good and well known actors in it. I don't want to give away anything for people who havn't seen it. I didn't know race was going to be such a large issue in it, but that is part of what made it so interesting.

bisons I went to the Bisons game and Watched one of the most intense lacrosses games i've seen in some time last night, the bandits won my a goal and where losing by a few goals. I tried putting pics up but my computer is moving so slow on line it isn't going to work maybe my next post will be all pictures. At the game last night they had a couple of the gutars form www.guitarsforhope.com it is a fund raising comunity art project that some of you might be interested in. I read the bisons won by a score of 9 to one when I left it was tied at 1. Bison games can be a lot of fun. Hopefully everyone has a great easter.

Lovely but where to go and whom to meet The weather was so great when I got home. I hope it lasts and we don't get any cold blasts out of nowhare. But I didn't really have any place to go. I wish I had somewhare I felt like checking out on elmwood before dinner. I thought about Maybe Spot but not really into Coffee, I can't stand it but love the smell. Plus it is always so crowded it seems like verry trendy not that anything is wrong with that. I need a go up on elmwood more. I hope it warm on friday also.

Glad it was a good holiday. I had to work at the Adelphia Zone at the arena yesterday and having them win like they did tops off a nice weekend.
