I cancelled my reservation. Sometime in November I am going to do my Allen st. bar hop. Most likely for someone Else's B-Day, but the same amount of fun will still be there. Some of the descriptions of Richmond and Ashland this morning that I read pretty much scared me and then I spoke with a guy from Buffalo that was in my class this morning and that pretty much sealed it. SO, I'm a lightweight. After having power, water, green grass and falling leaves all around me I guess jumping into a mess isn't something that I want to sign msyelf up for. Most of you most likely have power in the Allentown/Elmwood area, but I just don't want to feel like a disaster tourist, hop in for a night and go back home to my warm house with all of the amenities. I'm just going to stay in my immediate area where it just seems like nothing ever happened.

So my new plan is go just have my friend Bill drive me over to Canada tonight. I want to hit St. Catherine's and stop by a couple of places on St. Paul St. then the Niagara Falls and most likely the Casino.

The show last night was amazing. Although at the last minute by circumstance I ended up going with my Mom. It was just surreal to be in the V.I.P Suite with my Mom @ an Alice Cooper show. What am I 16?

That could be another post all of its self...

Anyone that wants to tag along is welcome, but you have to get to the Falls yourself...

Hummm... after reading ((e:dragonlady7)) post about where she comes up in a serach I was going to brag about mine. For the past 6 months or so I had been been the first profile to pop up on myspace when one would "Search MySpace" for Seneca Niagara Casino. Now I'm #3 beaten out by Boyz ll Men and Abraxas.


So we may get snow tomorrow. Well it's October and I am finally going to get the chance to wear all of the stuff I bought at J. Crew for winter so I am actually not all that negative about it. Summer is nice but for some reason I have always liked wearing winter clothes, although I'm not a big fan of the snow.

As long it does not snow on Saturday Night I'm fine with everthing. After Alice Cooper and the fun that I am planning on having on Saturday I did get Mon and Tue off of work.

This is why I love ((e:strip)) I don't post for a short while and see that despite that I have had a bunch more views then I would ever dream of on my "other" blog. Hell, I get more views than my myspace page. Then again being a guy does not help in getting views or stalkers.

So lately I have just been juggling my classes and work. I'm a total lightweight compared to everyone else. Although this time of year it is a struggle to for me to stay on the up and up. I'm wondering if I have S.A.D. or something along those lines.

City and Colour (Dallas Green) has just has taken over my head lately. Any song I that I have listened to from him has just taken me to a special place.

So much so that It makes me want to stop by St. Catherines on Friday after the Alice Cooper show that I'm attending with my old allentown flame (Yea, I'm a slut) It is just that St. Catherines has so many great memories for me. All the time I spend in the early to mid 90's at Gord's Place, an alternative music bar that is no longer with us any longer. Hanging with my Cousin's Cousin Matt. Chasing down the serial Rapist/Schoolgirl Killer Paul Bernardo and his wife Karla Homolka. The closest I ever got was having a waitress @ Denny's in St Kits that was followed home and stalked by Paul Bernardo and running into Karla's sister Lori at the Red Hot Chili Pepper on St. Paul St. To think that this monster also owned a video store in Youngstown back in the day.

So Dallas Green thanks for writing good music, getting me all emofied, melodramatic and nostolgic.

Hopefully I'll snap out of this funk. I think getting my studying and projects done will go further in making me feel better about myself than the crazy time I'm going to have this weekend in turning a year older.

If anyone is interested I'll be hitting up Allen St. on Saturday with hopefully a small group.

Ok time get back to Reading.

It actually is a pretty slow morning here at work. So coming in at 7:30 just seemed like a waste until I witnessed the beautiful sunrise this morning after I was woken up by the thunder and lightning. I snapped a few pics of the "Red Sky in the Morning, it was breathtaking and one of those moments I felt good to be alive. Then on my way from my "secret parking spot" to work about a 2 block walk I pretty much was drenched by the downpour. I guess you have to take the good with the bad.

On another note I guess I'm another (e:strip)er with a B-day in October. Although by subconscious plan or circumstance it ends up as a low key event. This year I'm getting a room @ the Best Western and plan on hitting every bar from Prespa to Hardware on Allen. At least that is the game plan so far, I could always get that quick gambling junket to Foxwoods or Vegas that my parents haven't told me about yet.

Early A.M. and I just didn't want to get up this morning. Woke up @ 6:30am and given my commute time that made me 15 minutes late. It was just so nice to get that really deep sleep but hey I have to come in and feed peoples poker addiction.

I should have not watched that VH1 Behind the Music episode about Pantera last night. WOW is all I can say. I remember them about 13 years ago now when they opened up for White Zombie @ the CT St. Armory. A part of me sometimes wishes that I could go back to the early 90's and really savor the music live at the time. Actually if I remember correctly White Zombie did outsell them in T-Shirts.

It just reminded me that there really isn't anything all that strikes such a chord with me musically. I would hate to be a kid today given the state of corporate music. If I was young and angstful again what would I listen to? Things are just so micro specialized. Y

If I was a teenager, depressed, full of volitile emotion; What would I listen to? That kid of music @ the time Pantera, Alice in Chains, Helmet and heavy industrial music was the soundtrack to me and my friends walking up and down elmwood drinking out 40oz's underage and other stuff while we were going to those shows.

Would Simple Plan provide the same effect??? I doubt it.


Oh, and I shouldn't have talked with M* so late on the phone as well.

OK, back to work. Nothing like throwing out random thoughts...
