First of all I admit I like my TV. Well not really the TV but lots of different stories. There are all sorts of different marathons that stations will put on sometime. I should have posted this yesterday but I forgot. Heroes is on sci-fi starting at 9am on Saturday and they are showing all 21 episodes. So if anyone has missed any or needs to get caught up it is a good time to do so. I can't imagine sitting down for that long and watching all of that. Off course if you trust it you could DVR or TIVO it and then fast forward out the adds. But I thought you all might like to know about it. I'm currently caught up on the show. for more info you can check out Sci-fi''s website.

Hopefully on Saturday I will make it to the 24 to see if there is anything I need or could use at the Garage Sale. The only thing is anything that I could use is heavy so then I would have to haul it somehow so I doubt there is anything I would want but still going to try and swing by. A cousin of mine is graduating and there will most likely be some post graduation get to gather but no idea when or what.

I noticed that I had over 200,000 views that seems like a lot to me but I have no idea where that compares to others on here. A few other stats as of my current writing of this. There have been 473 comments on my journals. I've posted 1,705 comments on journals. I have 833 journals. 2,439 images on my journals. 245,089 words I've written and I have not uploaded any videos.

Today I messed around with my camera and tired out the video. I should have shot something out side as a test first to see how things come out. But I shot two of my sis's cat they are both really bad. They are dark and I sound like an idiot talking to it and there are shadows. That being said I'm going to try to upload one and see if it works. It is in quicktime and I'm not sure if that will agree with (e:strip) or not but I will try it as a test. If it works then I may have to get more practice and shot other videos and see how they do here. I do have one other idea if it works but we will hold off on that. I know there are two settings maybe if i used the higher res one it would be better but here goes nothing.

Ok I went to try to upload them and they didn't show up that must mean that quicktime format doesn't work with (e:strip) I guess I have to figure out how to convert one if I want to post one, oh well. Have a great weekend and don't forget the sabres on Saturday unless you are watching heroes also at 2pm.

First things first I didn't go to the bisons game last night, I just wasn't up for it for some reason. I may go to the plaza thing for the sabres but I think I will watch the game at home.

I was searching online for pictures of Buffalo. In the process I saw some post cards of Buffalo and buildings that are no longer standing and how Buffalo used to look. I don't think I will go there very often but I did join Buffalo Rising. They had comments about the New Tower that is supposed to go up at where the park lane is. There is also a dicusion going on here about it also. Those two caused me to have an idea that I think would help the presvation moviement and also help progress and new buildings be built. It might even help fight of the NIMBY movement. When ever a building is torn down or emploded and however it is gotten rid of. Then there must be pictures and video of it and a history writen for it before it can be demolished. This would also be true of and Victorian Houses as well. This history would then me made into a presentation at the new site. That way when someone goes to a parking lot they can get the history of what was there before. Once a building is built then that history site is built right in on the first floor. For the history part you could also have old photos and maybe even articles about things that happenend there. I think it would be a good idea to expand that to buildings that have been put up allready. Why not even have history tours where people could tour buildings and get the history of what Buffalo used to look like. I think that this would help both the people who want anything that isn't being used torn down and a new all glass building in there and those who don't want anything torn down. It would be a good way to help persevrve the history of Buffalo.

One of the things that caused me to have this idea is the current compromise at the building at 120 delaware. I read an article in the Buffalo News about how they where going to tear down this old theatre but before they did an agreement was reached to remove the historical stuff from the building. I thought that was a great compromise. So if you can delay constrution for a month why not just pass a law and make it part of all demolishion plans. I think it is a lot better then everytime someone tries to bring in a new hotel or anyonther plan there is a law suit. I know there would still be some. I know buildings should try to be saved if they can be used but this would be a back up if they can't be saved.

It was nice to have a day off from work today, it really was. I went to the Bisons game with my Sis. The bisons wound up losing but I still had a good time. I think I may go again on Friday for the 1st Bash of the year from what the ad said today. I think it might be taking the place of one of the colded/winded/Snowed out opening day game. I havn't made up my mind yet. About 20 minutes to the sabres game. Well it is back to work on friday again.

First of all to any of you mothers out there Happy Mothers day. I also extend this to any of you who are mothers to pets also. Granted they most of the time aren't as much work as kids but that isn't all ways true.

Now on to some pictures. In a previous Journal I mentioned that When I was walking down Bryant I noticed a place that used to be boarded up with out the boards so here are two pictures of that and some flower pictures from that same street.







Down at Buff State they are building a new building, I can't remember what it is exactly but I think it has something to do with a gallery or rockwell hall. I do remember that people where upset because the builders never spoke with the community to get there input. But here a few few pictures of that.







Here are some flower pictures that I have taken as I have walked around my neck of the woods. I will openly admit that Matt takes much better flower pictures then I do. I was just trying to see what I could get and as an overview picture I think they are ok. Some of these pictures are of other things also.
























The Kitten there is on Allen as we where getting a mothers day gift at the gallery there. All those hamburgers was on mothers day at Missippi muds. That reminds me has anyone tried Sample yet? I know I have not but I mean to.

The pictures of the action from the bisons game I went to are kinda boaring so I figured maybe put up some of buster and my lunch and that might be kinda fun.

Yesterday I forgot to post about the walk that I took that I wasn't planning on. I was on the #2 bus heading for work and I Missed my stop by a long way. I wound up I little bit past Transit and french. I work maybe about 3 blocks from union so my walk was about the length of from Transit to union. But it was relaxing and it was nice to be out in the fresh air. That area is kinda strange. I was on one side of Transit and there was a sign that said Elma. I look across the street and it says lancaster. So then I get to a sign and I'm in Chektowaga (or however you spell it). That being said that Burger King on the corner has a Depew address, that i still don't understand. So as I walk down French rd. There is another sign for Chektowaga But I'm confussed because that where I thought I was I wonder if there is a town and village status around there, I'm not really sure. But as I'm walking the sun is kinda behind me and to the right benind my shoulder. But as I walk sord of to my left and is front of me is the moon. It allways seems kinda strange when you can fully see the moon and most of the sun at the same time. It is kinda like why are they both out or something like that. I wish I could explain it better. But the funny part is I think the day before I said something about How I have to get more exercise or something like that So it wound up being a nice time that I didn't plan on. Of course I was late to work and would have rather ben on time but atleast I enjoyed the long walk. Walks that you don't plan on are allways so much longer. I don't want to jinx the wheather but I'm going to the bisons game on thursday. With my luck it will snow and a bunch of games will get cancelled like when I tried to go to the home opener. If the wheater stays nice I might go to the party at the Plaza for the sabres game, not sure about that yet: that is very wheather depedent.
