I will admit that the wood carvings that have been made for Carving for a cause I haven't seen all of them, in person. The ones of Jim Kelly and Chris Bermen looked very cool on TV. I guess on Friday they had some thing at the waterfront but I got to see the carvings on Thursday. Here are a few pictures in no order.

































I guess the fact that these carvings are a way to reuse trees destroyed from the October surprise It is only fair to go back in time and put up a few pictures from then.











Ok back to the Marina since the last time I've been there things have changed a little bit. By the way I'm I the only one who thinks it could be used all winter long? Granted I'm not sure what for but it shouldn't be closed at least.

So for any of you who are fans you know the sabres lost their first two games, to bad I was hoping they would start out strong like last year, but it is still very early and I would rather them finish strong and be week in the begging then the other way around. Not that I believe me passing out on both games has anything to do with them losing but if I does I'm sorry. First game I saw the Banners dropped and the New Scoreboard (looked the same to me as at the preseason game) and not much else. I have been and am still sick. Man there was a lot of scoring I missed in the 1st game. I did see some of the goals last night but didn't make it through the entire game. Hopefully I can get healthy cause the Bills are on Monday night, then Tuesday I'm going to see Henry Rollins, then if my sickness is over on the next night it is the (e:strip) dinner at Casa and then the 24 but If I'm sick still then I don't want to get anyone else that way, hopefully I'll be better by then.

If the above link works correctly (sometimes I have trouble with it) it will take you to my Sabres pictures on my webshots page. There is no way I'm going to post all of them here. Saturday I had a good time. Plus the sabres won. There was hot blond behind me and a Lady with nice boobs to my right. I wasn't trying to look but when play went to my left it was kinda tough not to see them. Even though the Sabres won I wish the Penguins would have let Crosby play. Friday the season starts and they are having that Party at the plaza before the game, I may go but guessing I'll just watch it on TV.

It seems that around this time of the year things get very busy and there are lots of things to do and lots of Shows returning to TV and then cool new shows to watch. With all the stuff going on I still have 3 more Hockey Games I'm going to. I wouldn't mind taking a road trip to go see a game somewhere but I doubt that is going to happen. But hopefully as I see more games I can give highlights of the pictures I take. Hopefully these ones where good ones to pick sometimes viewing them small it is hard to tell.

So I have been a little, Ok a lot behind keeping up with (e:strip) between being sick, going out, my sis's whiny cat. But I'm finally kinda caught up today and to my welcome surprise there are sex pictures and a boob in another journal. Maybe this is a new trend I'm not sure but it looks like people have been having a lot more fun then I have lately. Tuesday I was all ready to join in the fun and go out for Pizza and go to the 24. That is until I had a slice of Pizza for lunch and it did some bad things to my throat it was burning and I could taste the pizza in my throat it was gross. It looks like everyone had a great time and I'm glad they did. I think was out cold by about 9pm. The other thing that tired me out was seeing henry Rollins the night before here is a quick recap.

I went to see Henry Rollins spoken word at the Town Ballroom and had a great time. It is hard to sum up 3 hours in a blog really but I will try to hit some key talking points. Henry really jumps around in his stories but it still tottally makes sense. He is funny even though I don't know if he allways means it that way.

-there are a couple times that he mentions that he was in a place where he was more into the documenting what was going on then just doing it and it was like he was outside his body watching what was going on (I found that interesting)
-There was something he said about Comi-con and a few people cheered and then he joked about the people and about how they don't have girlfriends and that was a nice little bit.
-Talks about how he does shows here because of how awesome the manager is and how he has bailed him out of deep snow even in Albany
- He talks about how the tour get named and that he thinks it shouldn't have to have one and gets into why it is called Provoked
- He talked about playing with this group he really liked when they had a Benifit for them Called the Ruts we found out that when we came in the music playing was them. During this story someones pnone went off. I thought he would jump of the stage but instead he started acting out the phone call on stage then went right back into story, that was so funny I almost died right there. That was a long story but it was pretty intersting to see how someone can battle through the pain to play a benifit show
-He flew from Bruit to San Fran just to see Nick Cave and it was tottaly worth it
-He bashes people who won't think and just stay in their ideas some of this was based on people who write him
-When he goes to Lebonon he sees a lot of american type places but then finds some cool places to see
-He went to both dubai and Syria. As long as you don't get a stamp from Isreale you can go to syria . and the serian's were surprised he was there and if you come from there you get extra questions But rollins wanted more then they gave him.
-I forget the country but he gets a iraqi cab driver, he allways talks to cabies by the way. The gist is that when America undid the army they made a mistake and the general crazzyness in iraq. Both guys are sorry that america will never leave the country. Rollins goes into a great example of being on fox news to prove that just because you work someplace and have a boss doesn't mean that you like them, like how the army and iraqis didn't like saddam and where glad when they got rid of him
-Talks about how Bush talks and that runs into a great one about how He meet Christopher Walken that was very funny
-He starts a story about how an aligator tried to eat some crack head and then expands that to how it would be cool to have some predators in the city and how it would change things if when you went to your car you might have to outrace a puma.
-He also talks about how the private sector is going to help the vets because the military says some of these guys where allready messed up.
-Tells eveyone to vote and that he doesn't care who you vote for
- He jokes a few times about how long the show will be and maybe it might be even 5 hours and at the end says 3 hrs 1 min.

I know it doesn't really sound funny, but it is one of those things you kinda have to be there for. It was great and the time flew by.

A few nights ago I went to see Megadeth and had a great time at the Town Ballroom it was a very crowded and packed show. I also liked the two opening bands "The Confession" and not sure of the exact name but something along the lines of "in this moment" my one problem was having trouble hearing some of her vocals. I did like that she wore a dress and head banged.

Tonight the sabres are playing the Penguins (right now I'm guessing) and then I'm going to the Saturday night game in Buffalo, that is there final preseason game I think. Yes I'll be yelling for the sabres but I like the penguins to and want to see if their uniforms look really any different. This year all the teams are going to new jerseys but I don't know if they will really effect the look of them or not.
