E:poetry
Now that i finally decided to look at the automoatic poetry generator on this site, I am truly amazed. I was always skeptical and never really cared about it but I finally decided and seruisly it is so fun!! And so interesting, and then you can see everyone's journal. Ok it seriously fun, well actually maybe it isn't fun to look at, maybe it is , I don't know , I had the poetry read to me, but that was very fun and interesting. Like it is such an encapsulation of eveyrthing going on in this site, in people's mninds, and all over Buffalo through one line thoughts. In case you don't know what it is , it like goes through all the jourannls and picks liek 10 lines randomly that start with soething in particluar like one is called like Why? and it hs like everything that starts with Becasue from random journals. It is so cool!1 To see it click on the (e:poetry) link in the pink bar on the top of the screen.!

Desk Shopping, Lunch and the Square
Me and (e:maureen) headed to Gabriel's Gate for lunch today. It was very tasty, I had a chicken casear salad. Afterwards Maureen decided she needed a desk for her new Harvard apt and so we went to Neo to look. FIrst we went to eminent design by mistake thinking it was Neo and they had some fun coasters but I ddn't get them because they were $25 and I don't need $25 coasters until I at least have an apartment!! We hit up Hyatt's on Main St. because we were right there and (e:Maureen) was looking for mosaic tiles for a wall she was making, while we didn't find those, we did find some things she was looking for, for a certain package she is making, so while there was some dissapoint (for more reasons than one, right (e:maureen)?), some good came of it. We then hit up Frizb's where i got the Kylie MIngoue cd. It is seruisly so exciting. I couldn't' htink of anything I wanted and then I thought of that and was so happy. It is the perfect dancy, happy music I am looking for for the summer! WE also hit up Calvin's Furniture and Adavantage Furniture on my corner, but no success in finding a desk. ANy suggestions anyone?

I think (e:amanda), me and maybe (e:mk) and others will be hitting up downtown after the square tonight. Unoless we go to the Italian Festival instead but I don't really want to go today, I rather go this weekend. Anyone else heading to the square or after parties? Chadi for now

OH Avril
In the most recent issue of Star magazine I got while grocery shopping wiht the PM portion of the PMT today, it takls about Avril Lavigne's engagement. It talks about how she was seen out at a club in LA freak dancing with her fiancee from SUm41 to the song "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani. I was never a big fan of Avril but I feel like her freak dancing to Hollaback Gril was something she would have been hugely opposed to a few years ago, before she was actually famous! Oh how much i wish i was famous.

If You Don't Have Something Nice To Say
I read a quote the other day that I think anyoen who knows me knows applies to me, "If you can't say anything nice about somebody, come sit next to me". I just found that entertaining. Last night we went to the Elmwood Lounge and Cathode with (e:amanda), (e:terry), (e:matt) , and the people from the front of their house. It was fun except I feel bad because (e:amanda) stayed sooo much longer than she wanted to or should have. But hopefully she doesn't hate me forever and we will still be eating tasty super veggie pitas and pasta salad at the Juicery in like 2 hours!!! I also learned I need to not open up tabs at bars. It makes it so much easier to spend money when you aren't' actually forking over the cash!! But then again, i still live at home basically so what else do I have to spend money on other than booze!!! The people up front seem nice, i had sorta met them before but not really. One is (e:Jill)'s cousin Amanda. Weird to meet Jill's family while Jill is in another coutnyr. Ok not so weird but I miss my (e:Jill) and (e:Beast).

Jesse from up front was talking about how Canadians are nicer than people in Buffalo and he wants to go back to Canada where he is from. Do you guys think that is true? I think people in Buffalo are very nice! I don't know, just wondering what others thought

I'll chime in about Canadians, being one myself. I say that some are nice and some are not. Kinda depends on where in Canada... I've lived on both coasts and in Ontario. I think Torontonians are like everyone else in big cities -- rude, pushy and cold to strangers, which can make it difficult to meet new people there. In Halifax and on the east coast, i thought the people were friendlier but more reserved and guarded around new people. In Newfoundland, everybody is eveybody's Buddy (Buddy is the slang term for "that person"... Newfoundlanders would say,"...and then Buddy got me a beer." On the west coast in Victoria and Vancouver, i found people to be complete snots.. neo weed hippies. Didn't like anyone i met there. Buffalo, on the other hand has SOOO many friendly people i was amazed. Complete strangers on the street say "Good Morning" and "Excuse Me" and all kinds of polite things i have never heard anyone in Toronto ever say!!! I think people in Buffalo are super nice. :O)

My Future According to Paul
So driving my brother home the other day from my nonna's he says "Mike you have to start having relationships, you are going to become that red haired brother of the wife on Everybody Loves Raymond" . For those of you who don't watch, he is a like 40 year old compeltye socially awkward man who runs a comic book store and has no friends, future, life, social skills. Uh, oh, do you think it is possible for me to become that. I still think I don't need relationships, well not that I mind them, just I am not actively looking and I think I am ok with that. Is that crazy man really my future?
