My collection is complete

Thanks (e:mike). The only glass that I started with was Theodore so Mike found a set on ebay that had all of them except Theodore. When he gave it to me I found out that my Theodore glass had been broken so then I had every cup except Theodore. Now finally I have them ALL...hahahahah *evil laugh*


Check out the difference in the ducks at Hoyt Lake over a period of 20 days. They are getting so big so quickly!

I saw this beautiful bird that had a big red stripe down his tail
feather. Anyone know what it is?

What is this crazy bug? It was so hard to shoot because it was so fast.

I love turtles. This was right before I spooked him and he jumped off.

I love those glasses!!
jenks - 06/23/07 13:43
bahaha -> lib! that comment is so bitchy and unlike you! I love it!
mike - 06/23/07 11:53
yeeeah~! You have all the glasses now~

I never liked the Chipettes. They are all ugly and therefore can all be grouped into one glass. I don't even think they had an appearance on the xmas album.
james - 06/23/07 00:06
So each of the chipmunks get their own glass but the chipettes are herded together onto one? Ah yes, the 80's: a kinder, gently, more sexist decade.

Take that Dora the explorer!

I love the Chipmunks! "Alvin!@?#"

Back to the beaches you peaches!
image

As I mentioned on (e:metalpeter)'s journal "Bonus Pictures" the gulls are taking over the city. His pictures of the art festival clearly show their dominating presence.

Today I was disturbed to know that they are also taking over Hoyt Lake. I have never seen them there in previous years. Not only are they there, but it almost seems like they are starving. Over and over they would splash the lake with their feet. Looking for food? I don't know. Check out the videos I put up on the boobtube.






So it seems like yeah I'm just crazy and talking out of my ass about Seagulls, but I did some research. Gulls have become a huge problem in Britain. One person was given emergency treatment for a deep beak wound to the neck and a 80 year old woman had a heart attack after they swooped down at her. Check out these articles by the BBC and National Geographic regarding the growing problem in Britain.





One of the articles mention that after they take to a city they stay. That would be pretty sad to always have these nasty dirty birds around all the time where they shouldn't be naturally.

Back to the beaches you peaches!!!!




metalpeter - 06/17/07 15:26
I watched both videos and read both articles I think the second link is better. It has some ideas about why they may move inland. I wonder if those reasons hold true for Buffalo. One thoery I have about Buffalo is that the only place you used to see them was at Ted's and when that closed and then reopened and then closed again the population that was there moved on. There wasn't enough food around the Hatch so they had to find some place else. They sort of touched on that they don't have predators close and when they bring them in they aren't good enough since there are so many of them. If you want to take a big leap and jump to conculsions maybe they are moving inland because as the ice caps melt the water level is getting higher and they are able to adapt and move to where the water level will be some day.
jenks - 06/17/07 09:51
yuck i hate seagulls. Growing up there were always tons at the beach, and they'd gotten so used to people that they were really bold, and would come steal your sandwich right out of your hands. little peaches.

Logic
I love my last post...it cracks me up. It makes me sound like a nut case, but the sky really was falling and therefore I am hardly crazy. Does anyone know how to get a weather forecast record online for free?

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Clarifiication
I just want to clarify again that my last post has nothing to do with anyone on this site. I tried to do this before, but it was hard considering I couldn't give details. As far as I know nobody is gossiping about me on here. The situation i was referring to has nothing to do with anything I have ever talked about before or anything about my relationship with someone on this site. Now I'll try and go back on my sabbatical and put this behind me because I got a lot to do homework wise and despite being on spring break I haven't gotten any of it done.

Its just that I don't think I'll be around to defend myself and that is why i posted what I did. Hopefully nobody will ever find out what I had to do, but just in case you did, I wanted you to understand that I had to do it rather than it was something I did on a whim or without really being sure that what I did was the right thing.

Thanks for all your support everyone, including (e:leetee) who behind the scenes has given me lots of kind words of encouragement. imk it was definitely good seeing you. I'll pass it on that you think my friend is cute. She certainly is! thanks jason and metalpeter. you guys are all so nice and caring people which makes all of the ugliness I have seen in people lately (again not referring to the (e:peeps)) not so sad.
metalpeter - 04/05/07 17:33
First of all you are welcome. From what I have seen of you on the site and at parties you seem like a pretty nice and level headed guy. I also wanted to add that I think what (e:jason) said about he being the nasty person before is probably true of everyone at least once. So I wish you luck in dealing with what you are dealing with. I hope you enjoy the rest of your spring break and I look forward to reading your posts again when you return.

keep your eye on the prize chamaco
jason - 04/04/07 13:23
Libertad, hell man I've been that nasty, ugly, hateful person before. All of us have to an extent. One of the things I learned in, ahem, treatment is that we can see and recognize things in other people that remind us of ourselves at some point. It makes it easier for us to forgive, and to take it easy on someone who's having a rough time (instead of piling on).

Not knowing your situation, all I can say basically is that I hope things get easier to deal with on your end. My ex girlfriend said she had to break up with me. She didn't want to, she had to. I had (and have, to an extent) a very difficult time swallowing that. Regardless, I know that people sometimes have to do things they don't want to do, that don't feel good, but are for the best.

Anyhow, I'm in my usual form (long winded). Take care of yourself, and hopefully see you around here sooner than later.
mrmike - 04/04/07 13:22
Sorry for whatever has brought all this angst on you. Anything I can do, let me know. You got friends here
