Recently photos have kinda been a theme and it is kinda odd in a way. A couple posts back I mentioned that I keep pictures in photo albulms and that it took a long time to put them away. Well tonight I have about 120 to do that with but it shouldn't take to long I hope. But where things get interesting is that last night Photos the theme in the Simpsons there was an entire thing about the Paperazzi . But what started it all was that they got a fire safe and put the photoalbulm in it and a fire starts in the safe and destroys all the pictures. Then then get the idea to re-stage all the pictures. Yes they did say re-stage meaning that the pictures where staged in the first place. I found that funny cause it implies that they posed for the pictures and that the pictures where what they wanted to see or to remember and not what actually was. This was also a small point in one of the stories on Desperate Housewives weeks ago where they showed people smiling. But it brings up the point that if pictures are only of the happy moments and not of the fist fight that breaks out after the picture or the tantrums and doors slamming that then that stuff doesn't get represented. I understand that you may not want a picture of a kid crying but all the pictures taken of the family or what ever you take shouldn't be just happy stuff and only the gorgeous buildings you see in a city. I'm not saying that you should go to every funeral and wake and take pictures but we often have trouble taking pictures of the tough times. Sometimes it is out of respect or that you know there might be people who don't want there picture taken or don't want that distraction. But As I have learned you often regret not taking those pictures, when you look back on it. Ok I guess my little rant, not that it is really a rant is over.

For those of you who read My last journal or "blog" what ever term you prefer here are two pictures that are not the best but that kinda convey what I was talking about. Oh before I forget I don't want everyone to think I'm a huge Maple Leaf fan that flag I got at a Game I went to years ago when in toronto.





The Bandits did wind up winning the game last night and I had a good time and I shall put up some pictures from the game in random order but first here are the pictures of Downtown Buffalo I took before the game (also on my webshots page). Two of the pictures are of the new R2-D2 mailboxes .











I will admit that it would have been nice if the sabres and bandits would have won But I know that is unrealistic sometimes. But I had a good time here are some shots of the game and some of the Bandettes also.

















Well I got a few error messages so Not sure what that is about but hopefully these pictures are a good asortment

First of all before I forget the Bandits Have a home Game on Saturday night Vs. The Colorado mammoth. It should be a good game and it is a vary important game since the Bandits are in second place in there devision. Colorado is in first place in the other devision and I think only has one lose so far.

Last weekend I had a busy and fun weekend with the Car Show, Mat's Birthday and the parade and I took lots of pictures. But one little draw back is how long it took to put all those pictures into a picture album. Yes I use picture albums. I also download the pictures onto a computer and then back them up on CD or maybe the computer is the back up. One cool thing is if you have pictures on a CD is that you can look at them on a DVD player assuming it is one of the ones that is JPEG compliant . I will admit that I don't do it that often but it is still a pretty cool idea. But what my problem is now is that I have to go out and get shelving or some type of bookcase that is big enough for all my albums. I have some small ones and some large ones so finding one that is the right size is tough, but I'm currently looking into it. Maybe I'll find one this weekend I hope.

Oh yeah that is the other thing I wanted to mention On the 28th I'm going to see Black Label Society, that should be a fun time for sure. I forgot the other thing I wanted to mention. So I hope everyone has a great weekend.

We shall try again 93rd time I think)the above link or web address should lead to the pictures I took on Saturday at the world of wheels. Here are a few samples of those pictures.










Here are a few pictures that didn't get posted from St. Mat's










I will admit Sunday didn't go as I hoped. I got to the parade late and missed some of Div. 1 but it wasn't really my fault. I also didn't wind up going to see Jackdaw but maybe I should have since I caught the end of the Sabres game and they lost. But I was thinking that it would be way to crowded then I was warm and comfy at home a slept way to early in the day. Here is my view of the parade.















































Just wanted to add that those are not all of my parade pictures but a good amount of them. OH yeah I also decided to try firefox 2 and I see it underlines words that it thinks are misspelled and the funny thing is that firefox both times now is underlined. I noticed that now when you click on a link instead of opening another page it opens it as a tab instead that is kinda cool.

First of all the way I upload the pics it dosn't put them in numerical order when you do multiple pics but from looking at the pictures you get the general idea. Also sorry if there is red eye. That is one thing I don't like about my camera even with the red eye setting you still will get some of it. If you don't like how you look in the picture sorry. The thing with the Pictures I take is that there is usaly a few people in them and sometimes people in the background. I know there is one picture of (e:Lilho) that I put up my mistake I was suposed to turn it the other way so when you see that one do it in your mind. I had a good time and as one of the other (e:peeps) said it was a mellow or maybe calm party but still fun. It was nice to see some new faces there, or at least people who I hadn't met before.. I will admit I could have and should have been more social but oh well. I decided to post these today and download what ever pictures I take at the parade on sunday or monday. I think it is awesome that some peeps are getting togather to go to the parade. I think I won't be in those numbers that I'm just going to go with my sister but we shall see. I'm guessiing I may skip Jackdaw as well, but I'll find out later. Ok Here are the pictures.
