I will admit I have been thinking about the recent past lately. It isn't that I have been deep thinking or any thing it just that a few events make me remember other events in the past. It is kinda odd that all the events tie back to (e:ladycroft). When I was at the square it dawned on me that I think the last time I saw Jackdaw seems like a long time ago and I think it was a year ago St. Patrick's Day when I ran into (e:ladycroft) and (e:Jenks), I remember it was a good time I'm not positive that my memory is correct but that is what my mind believes anyway. Then as The Dropkick Murphey's are playing and everything is nuts and I'm get squished by people because the pit got huge and I wasn't in it but was still effected by it I thought back to how I tried to avoid them years ago before (e:strip) at warped tour. Last week I heard an Ad for Trans-sibieran Orchestra and thought back to how fun it was last year and how great a concert it was. Then I thought maybe I should go again and remembered that it would make it 3 years in a row thanks to the awesome ticket (e:ladycroft) gave me since she couldn't go. The third thing is that coming up in October I'm going to see Henry Rollins at the Town Ballroom, that brought up the memories of when I went and picked the wrong side of the stage. See I have this thing where I have this area I like and I pick either right or left and I picked left and then picked a spot in a chair on the floor. But if I would have picked right then I would have been in the same Area as (e:Jason), (e:Theecarey), and (e:ladycroft). I still had a good time and everything but that would have been so much cooler. I kid you not I was just outside on the porch with my sisters cat and the thought hit me that I'm going to some hockey games this year and didn't go to any last year but I could have sworn the year before One of the games I went to was the same game (e:ladycroft) went to with "her Kids" that is if memory serves me right. I don't really like to look backwards I think nostegila can be dangerous and if you think about the good things then that can bring up bad things and things you want to forget. But the thing that is odd is these thoughts are just coming to me, like out of no where. I'm not saying that they are bad thoughts, just something that doesn't happen for me. In any even for anyone who reads this sorry for the long paragraph form and any bad grammar is bad spelling, hope everyone has/had a great weekend.

Kid Nation KitchenCategory: tv
I know that a lot of people think that reality TV is garbage. There is some truth to that. I know some people say the camera men effect stuff and might even interfear and that might be true. But tonight at 8pm on CBS Ch. 4 there is a show that looks like it will be pretty cool called kid nation. This is what I know 40 days, 40 kids and no adults. I guess the kids have to start or run a town. If I had even seen the movie "lord of the flies" I'm sure I would really be into this. But I think this show could be very entertaining and insightful if they do it right and just let the science experimant fly and film it.
For those of you who like Kitchen stuff, or Chef that famous guy from Hell's Kitchen has his new show on fox tonight. If I had ever worked in a resturent I would watch it but I'll be watching Last comic standing. I have no idea how the final is going to take 2 hours but it should be interesting. That reminds me for you fans of Heroes it starts back up on Monday I think but not sure.

Gordon Ramsay - he can definitely cook. Gordon Ramsay Chelsea is consistently one of the top British restaurants. He is a perfectionist, but I always like the advice he gives to people - keep it simple, and keep it fresh and made to order.
Of course, he bollocks people constantly, but part of that is TV entertainment, as well as his method of getting the most out of people and pushing them to perform to their limit. I don't know if I could work for a guy who uses this tactic, but it seems to get results.

I admit that I don't know if he can cook either. But I do know that when his first show was on FOX they used some term like famous chef or world renounned. I'm not sure if that was because he was famous or if it was because he was an amazing chef. What looks so interesting about this new show is that he is going to go to real places that sell food and it looks like he is going to rip people a new ass hole for poor kitchen conditions.

Gordon Ramsey rules! I have never seen Hells Kitchen but I want to see this new show. As far as whether he can cook? I'm assuming the Michelin Guide doesn't give out 3 stars to any old schmo in clogs and checks.

I'm looking forward to the Hell's Kitchen guy. He does the same show on the BBC and it is fun to watch. No idea if he can actually cook, but it is a hoot to watch him screech at somebody about gravy texture.

Tila..Love meCategory: sex
For those of you who like those Love shows like Flavor of love, or Bret Michaels there is a new one starting on MTV that really looks interesting. I think it starts October 9th. Tila Tequila (don't know what her real last name is) is bisexual and claims the show is kinda her coming out. She invited 16 strate guys and 16 lesbians. But the kicker is that neither the guys nor girls knew about each other. I think that there should be a way to watch the stuff that is to hot for TV but that is just me.
There is this new show on HBO about couples called "Tell me you love Me". Yes it is really about relationships. The first week there was a lot of sex lets see tits, ass, balls, a hand job from a distance. I watched the 2nd episode and there wasn't as much sex in it. I think that with HBO in demand you can watch episodes a week early cause it listed another episode I haven't seen yet. Hopefully this next one will have heavy sex in it again. Even the one that wasn't that graphic had a nice heavy warning before it, and it should cause the show is still about sex and relationships. So far all the couples seem like there own story lines I don't know if their stories will overlap or if any of the people will be connected. I don't remember when but I did see an add for HBO Real sex , those are all ways very interesting.
This post is really more about sex then TV so that is why I went with the sex topic instead of TV. That reminds me Californication is really a great show to and is good because I like it I guess. Yeah it does have some great sex in it, but it is more then that, there is a story about love and family. Oh Yeah and Hank is great to he "Blogs" and in one episode bashed LOL and BRB and how it dumbs us down. Plus there is a hot Suicide Girl the episodes.
I guess what the point I'm saying is that these are all shows that look like they are hot and have to do with sex but that on like a porn or a late night max movie (or stars) you don't watch it to get off and getting off is the goal and maybe if you are still horny you go back and try to get off again. You watch the show and enjoy the sexual aspects of it and if you or you and your partner do decide to get it on when that is over you go back and get back into the story. Well this is where I shut up.

That Sounds like a good idea, but should I include pictures ?HA, seriously that would be gross. The only problem is who would want to hear about 20 minutes or is that seconds of a movie, at a time, HA!!
Seriously though Before the "Janet Jackson Thing" and the Radio crackdown that it caused Shredd & Regan used to have a porn review once a week that was interesting. I don't remember who brought them videos in but they would talk to the person and then pick next weeks video. They couldn't get to graphic but you could still get a very good sense of the movie. That being said it would give me a legit reason to go out and buy movies and watch them. I wonder what would happen if I walked into a store and said I was starting to review porn and if the guy could suggest any good ones.
If I do ever decide to it I promise I won't just steal the ones from Fox, I'll do my own. On a side note fox is such a dirty magazine and is very graphic in a good way. Just thought Of one other thing my crazy out of control myspace page has some porn stars as friends on it maybe there is some way to order movies through them. None of them are in my top friends that is only for people I know and local stuff and two bands I really like.

Shoot Em UpCategory: movies
So today I saw Shoot Em Up starting Clive Owen. I thought it was very good. Yes it was funny, not sure if it was meant to be or not. Oh yeah plus there was some boobs in it not a lot but a little bit. It is a movie with lots of shooting guns in it and a couple of the scenes where really amazing but I don't want to give anything away.
Ok I'm going to give away to amazing scenes so If you haven't seen it yet don't read this part.
He is having sex with the girl he is protecting and then "the bad guys" storm in and they get into a great shoot out as he spins with her it really is good. I think that ends with A great scene of him going down a rope and taking out a bunch of guys. Then there is a scene in where they jump out of a plane and have a shoot out that was really cool and a lot of fun and the movie moved quickly.

Sabres and CrimeCategory: buffalo
Today I bought 1 Sabres Tickets to 4 games yes one of them is a preseasson game but I want to see the penguins. I have been to some open practices but I don't think I've ever been to a pre-season game. I will admit that one of my tickets is only a few rows above the players bench so it might be tough to see but it will be interesting to have that view also. I got them because I'm a Sabres insider. They go on sale to the public on Saturday. I admit buying them this early makes me nervous cause what if a great concert comes to the Town Ballroom the same night but that is ok. I figured I should get a few games early before they all sell out. I'm going to see "The Blues", "Blackhawks" and "Senators". I saw in the news today an article about the Aud and that they may try to sell some of the stuff that is in there before they trash it. I will say this if I had home it would be so cool to have turnstyles as people walked in. I think it would be cool to have Rows of chairs in front of my huge TV, that would be awesome. But my place is small so there is no chance of that for me. If bass pro uses that site I wish they would keep the front entrance way as an enterance way to the store then have a little Area with the history of the AUD I think that would really be cool but doubt we will ever see that.
Here is what I wanted to talk about yesterday but didn't have time. I read this in the Buffalo News and will give my thoughts after this about crime in the city.
[box] Habitat for Humanity crew is robbed at gunpoint
Masked men confront workers on Peach St.
By Stephen T. Watson - News Staff Reporter
Updated: 09/13/07 8:27 AM
A group of volunteers renovating a home in Buffalo's Fruit Belt neighborhood through Habitat for Humanity was robbed at gunpoint Wednesday while taking a lunch break.
The two robbers surprised the volunteer workers and demanded their money as the group sat outside a house that's being rehabbed in the 200 block of Peach Street.
This is the first such crime in the 22-year history of Habitat Buffalo, officials said, and members said they hope news of the robbery doesn't hurt the work of the organization.
"Our volunteers are so passionate that they're not going to let this stop them," Margaret Talboys, publicity director for the group, told The Buffalo News late Wednesday. "We will do all we can to ensure the safety of our volunteers."
Habitat Buffalo, part of the national Habitat for Humanity organization, has helped build or rehab 170 homes over 22 years for city residents who can't afford to buy a new home at market price, Talboys said.
In that time, no volunteers have been personally victimized, and the only crimes of any kind have been rare, overnight burglaries targeting the work sites, she said.
Volunteers have been working at the Peach Street site for about two months, said Ron Talboys, president of Habitat Buffalo and Margaret's husband, who is on the Peach Street work crew. Each home project typically takes six to eight months.
The crew was sitting in plastic chairs on the house's front lawn eating lunch at about 12:30 p.m. when two men dressed in black burst upon the group, Ron Talboys and another volunteer said.
The two robbers, wearing hoodies and bandannas to obscure their faces, began pushing the volunteers around and demanding money.
"My initial thought was this was a prank," said Ron Talboys. That notion was dashed when he saw one of the robbers brandishing a handgun.
Many of the volunteers are retirees.
"I just started," said an 84-year-old Clarence resident. "It was my first day."
He said the robber with the gun stood 2 feet away from him, pointing the gun at him, when he demanded his wallet, which contained a credit card and $60.
Another Clarence man was robbed of his wallet and $40, while a third Clarence resident was robbed of $45.
A fourth victim, a Getzville resident, was hurt in his left shoulder when he was pushed off his chair. He gave $60 to the robbers.
After the robbers ran off, several volunteers called 911 on their cell phones to report the crime. A half-dozen Buffalo police patrol cars responded, Ron Talboys said.
Some workers left the site after the robbery, while others continued to work.
"I guess most of the people were more scared afterwards. . . . It happened so quickly," Ron Talboys said.
The Talboyses stressed that they are taking every precaution possible to ensure the safety of their volunteers. They plan to consult Buffalo Housing Court Judge Henry Nowak and Buffalo police have promised to beef up patrols in the area.
Both Ron Talboys and the 84-year-old Clarence man said they plan to return to the Peach Street site.
"We want to continue. This is our mission," Margaret Talboys said.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Central District police at 851-4403.

The first thing I will say it is to bad that all the guys where on brake. It would have been nice if one of them wasn't and came behind these thugs with a rivet or nail gun and taken them out. Normaly I'm not one of those people who think eye for an eye and rapists should be raped in jail. But this case is different. You have people who come into a place to help that place and help the people who live there and then some thugs rob them. Yeah I understand that there are stick up kids and people who need money for what ever reason. But if you are going to rob someone at least have the moral code to rob other thugs, gangstas or drug dealers. Don't rob the people who are trying to improve the fruit belt. I admit I've been in the fruit belt or at least the out skirts of it for sports events. I have been to a few events at the stadium that replaced "The Rock Pile" and I used to go to Bison games there. I guess the point I was trying to get to is that most of the people there are good (I assume) and want to have nice things but then you have a few bad apples and I hope they don't take it back to how it used to be a long time ago.

When I first read the story I was very upset and very angry. The thing that I find is that sometimes when people do things like this we may call them animals. But in all truth that is an insult to animals. Most animals kill or hurt other animals for 3 reasons They are attacked by another animal or are think they may be. Two ties right into the other one in that they need to eat. Or they will attack to protect there mate or cubs. So in someways animals are more humane then humans a lot of the time. Since I don't live or work in the fruit belt I can't say what it is like to live there so I can't compare it to how it used to be. I just hope this is a one time thing and that others don't decide to do this again.
Onto hockey for a second after I ordered my tickets I remembered there is a concert I want to go to the same night as one of them, so I'm thinking looking into were the place is in Toronto and take a Mini Vacation up there. But not sure yet.

TSO is doing the double show thing and I'm going to the 3:00pm should be a good time, Wish I had a video camera and that I could sneak it in and record the entire show for ya. Spoken word is to me a new and kinda strange thing when I first went didn't know what to expect and hopefully this time will be just as good as if not better then the last time he was here. I doubt I will get to meet him but if I do I will mention it.
awwwwww! i know you wrote that for you peter, but that was a sweet trip down memory lane :) i'm jealous you get to see rollins again! -and tso -and hockey! write a nice review for me. and if you run into henry tell him to get his ass to qatar- it's still waiting to be conquered by his wonderfully dark humor!
