WTF???
Category: going out
I finally have some free time to myself and I decide to head out with my friend Billy Bob last night. He usually drives but tonight since I have decided to be a vegetarian and abstain from drinking for the month of June I drove.

We ended up at the Pink and for a night with me only drinking 2 Red Bulls I just couldn't believe how the night turned out for the weird. Bill was observing some drunk dude constantly hitting on some chick and her friend being a good friend "Cock Blocking." Well drunk dude just didn't get it and kept on hitting on her even after her friend was ultra direct and kept on yelling at him to go away.

Last call comes around and good friend's boyfriend & brother come around and things get pretty heated. I did find the whole episode quite amusing since reading the last (e:vycious) post about women. Watching this dude just persistently fire away at this chick was really an interesting demonstration on fortitude I suppose. It almost seems that sometimes if you just focus on playing the game to win, you make you own luck and you do score. For as much as we think societal rules apply there are women out there that are just of weak will and low self esteem that will fall for some guy that just keeps coming at them. I guess it fulfills some fantasy on "Wanting a guy that is willing to Fight for Them."

Needles to say drunk guy, Good Friend BF and drunk ass bro all blow up at once. Somehow Billy Bob gets shit from someone and all I'm thinking is, "I'm more than sober and in a minute I'm going to be throwing punches @ all places The Pink for something that I was not involved with and with people of whom I don't know!" In the end end GF BF exonerates us by telling his drunk ass brother that, "they're good people and just buddies." Billy Bob just laughs it off and says that drunk guy is just like his brother Dave when he drinks. The type that just get pissed and and look for a fight at any drop of a hat.

Situation averted; YEAH!

1st post using a Mac and Safari

Finally figured out how to change over my Road Runner connection from a UBS plug in to a Ethernet :-/ Only from calling the AppleCare guys this morning I was informed of the BAD conseqnences of trying to connect using a UBS connection.

Other than that WOW life is much more fun of this side of the Hardware universe. All except for I still dislike the standard Apple mouse and will immediately look for a replacement.

14 buttons??!! I can barely handle 2. It's the scroll ball that I've come to not be able to live without.

I use a standard 14 button USB mouse with my iMac. I don't know how people use the Apple mouse. Even the mighty mouse is a little strange to use.
jenks - 06/19/07 10:42
yeah they're probably better, but i hate the look of the big ergonomic black monster mice- I like Apple's Mighty Mouse, actually. not everyone does. but it's cool.

Celebrity Fit Club M v. W
Thanksfully the season is almost over but I think I woulld have been hooked just by Screech. I am a bit embarassed to say I can totally relate to the guy. The wanting to do his own thing, the being intelligent but coming off as a smart alec smartass, the elusive communication, the "finding peace" thing and last but not least popping Zantrex 3 to lose 5 pounds.

I also have to say that Maureen McCormick (Marsha Brady) is still pretty Damn Hot. If I didn't know better I would have though she was at the most in her early 30's.

haha that is the first thing i thought of when seeing this entry... dirty sanchez!

The first time I had seen Dustin Diamond since Saved By the Bell was on the cover of a chess magazine. It was sad and funny at the same time.

The next time I heard from the man was about a year ago when an adult video was circulating in the internet tubes in which he gave a girl a dirty sanchez.

Fort Erie Racetrack

So I finally had a day off and since it was a nice day and I wanted to enjoy it. I wanted to gamble a bit but at the same time having a desire to be outside I settled on going to the track.

Here are a bunch of pics that I took when I wasn't studying the Daily Racing Form to find a winner or two.

Now I have to throw in a Food Pic. This is a favourite Canadian pastime of mine, Cut Fries with Malt Vinnegar.

Then there is the racing aspect of which if there wasn't this to begin with the whole point of being here would just about be moot for the vast majority of people.

Where the money goes. I had the #5 horse and wish I had listened to my gut instinct and boxed the 5 and 6 together for the Exacta (a bet picking the 1st and 2nd horses in order) The 6 horse was owned and trained by an excellent trainer. Andre Cappicetti.

Look at what the Superfecta paid for a $1 wager. The superfecta is picking the first 4 horses in correct order, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. You could have even had 1/5 on a $0.20 cent bet!!!

I was happy to make some money on the 5 horse

SO afterwards I ended up heading back home and at the last minute went to the Domed Theater and checked out The Deftones. (e:metalpeter) I wish I had your #. If you wanted to go I would have been able to pick you in the Blo after I crossed the Peace Bridge.

Needless to say it was a kick ass show. They played for a little more than 90 minutes and the stage show was pretty impressive. They had the light board going behind them a la NIN style.

The only weird aspet of the show was this woman that I work with was a bartender there tonight. Most of the time I really can't stand her. She's just one of those people that loves to hear themselves talk, and thinks that just because she's skinny she's hot. While in actuality I think she looks like a freaking Muppet! But I digress I did have a good time and picked up a T-shirt. So with the $23 I won @ the track I ended up spending it on getting in and a bit more on an enjoyable concert.

Huh???
Category: tv
I sure hope there is a movie in the works or something. I was rocking out to Journey's "Don't Stop Beieving" and then .....Black Screen???!!!???


WTF???


Like I said I sure hope there's a movie coming out soon or something.

Not that I was the biggest Sopranos fan. I think i was more enamoured with the theme song in the begining, but I grew to like Christopher and recently A.J.

Plus, it does help to pretend to be related to a main character's actor (Frank Vincent) :-( R.I.P. Which makes it even worse for this final episode.




Now why couldn't they have come close to the finale of 6 feet under??? That was THE BEST ENDING EVER OF ANY TV SERIES EVER.

metalpeter - 06/11/07 17:48
I admit that I never saw a single episode of six feet under so I have no idea about the ending. If I understand the way the story was written on the Sprano's was that it was from there perspective as if they where real and not a TV show. In other words there is more story that we don't get to see. I have to admit that this episode had two of the best shot scenes I have seen in the series that I can remember. When Phil was hit and then the showed the car rolling away with the kids in it that was increadible. Then the car rolls over his neck and a witness pukes that was awesome. The final scene had lots of forshadowing in it and was also writen and shot so well the scene set us fans up to that someone was going to get shot and maybe even meadow would get envovled somehow. I think having Tony get hit would have been a great TV Moment but he is the star of the show and story wise it would have been a bad ending. Not only that but then if they did that then sil would have to die also then "uncle" June also. So with a little bit of reflection I think they did the right thing. Not to mention Tony getting hit wouldn't make sense since they got Phil and he was the Boss of the crew and one of his hit guys sided with Tony. It is good from a $$$ stand point to leave things open you never know there could be a spinoff or a movie or what I think would be Cool is if they came out with a Movie called cleaver. In hollywood you never know what will happen.
