E:strip Halloween part 1
Category: photos

First of all I had a good time. Secondly there where some very lovely, hot, sexy or what ever word you want to use for the ladies there and yes I will admit that (e:jill) and (e:imk2) where two of them. If you read my last party post I admitted something in that I think that may become a trend. I don't think these pictures will be in exact order or anything but they might be close. Sorry it took so long to get them up, Sunday I watched football all day and yesterday I didn't have much time and partook in internet chat about the NLL.

Some preparty Pictures

Oh yeah there will be some nice shots of boobs none really exposed but if that offends you may want to shy away from some of the pictures (yeah so I don't need a warning but adding one is fun)

So I thought that fire fighter suit was kinda hot and sexy. Then after the party I thought to my self it is to bad I didn't think of doing a male version of that I an idea hit me, to bad I didn't think of it then.

Oh before I forget to say anything I have two things to say. There where a couple or a few people who I was hoping to make it but didn't or couldn't. But I was happily surprised to see TK, who I have only known as TK. The strange part is he told me to go in the house and that is was open but at first with the make up and how he was just sitting there I didn't know who it was. Ok back to more pictures.

It is all ways tough to no ware you should cut off the pictures and where to start a part 2. Really how many pictures will someone look at. I hope I didn't put up to many. I was thinking about giving out awards for costumes but that doesn't really work so here are some honnerable mentions. The duct tape dress was awesome, the dark skinned girl with the great rack and dark hair, (e:imk2) witch costume, The hottest picture I think will also have her in it in the next or maybe even in a part 3 we shall see. I had a great time and thanks to (e:pmt) having it. There where some great costumes I just can't mention them all.

there are never too many pictures! I love that you always get so many good pictures. It helps me remember all the parts I forgot from one too many jello shots!

Drew was a creation scientist. Janelle was the girl without a costume.

metalpeter - 10/30/07 19:32
Yeah you are right that they aern't scandalus enough. It would be great if something would have happened in the cage or maybe it did and I missed it.

In terms of costume you are pretty close to what drew was. I heard him say he is a creationist scinctist I think. He even had some leaflets.

jenks - 10/30/07 19:18
wow, there were lots of people there I don't know... Like firefighter girl and the girl with dark hair in the black outfit, and the karate girl... and the priest guy and the gladiator guy and the devil guy...

But what was drew? My best guess is mad scientist, but I'm assuming there's more to it than that. And Janelle? mad scientist's wife?

And mike and jill you guys are awesome. :)

Bring more pix though peter, not nearly scandalous enough yet!

Lewis Black Diablo Halloween

So first of all I noticed that I got to 900 journals not quite sure how but I did, man that is a lot of writing. On top of all that "talking" I have posted 2,176 comments not really sure if that is a lot or not but it sounds like it might be. Ok back to why I wrote this. Last night I went to see Lewis Black. I admit that I had trouble staying awake. Yes he was funny but all the sitting down at the end of a long day at just that time. I thought both he and the opener were funny and had a great time with both guys routine. Before the show I went to Fridays and had a couple drinks and a good burger and the place was packed so things to some time but still had a great time. But that made be get to sheas latter then I planed. That wasn't a problem except I couldn't get to the merch table cause people where just standing around not heading in just standing in the way. So no shirt for me nor no bobble heads, but all in all a good time.

On my way home I went to Nietches (first time finaly) and saw a cool band who was kinda a funky jazz band, not sure how else to describe it and had a good time and a few drinks. I will admit there wasn't that many people there but a few of the ladies (with guys and not by them selves) where pretty cute. After words I went home and went to bed. It felt so good to sleep in and not have to work today. However the massive headache didn't feel good at all (Hang over and congestion headache all at the same time I think). That lead me to not wind up doing anything. I was supposed to go to target and hunt down some stuff for a costume for the club diablo concert tonight. I may or may not go still not sure it sure would be fun. Again I have never been there only seen it from the outside. So hopefully I can find what I'm looking for so I can be in costume on Saturday. I'm thinking I may try to get a pumpkin somewhere. It is to bad ex-cel closed cause I know they used to sell them.

The sabres play tonight maybe I can watch them lose, kidding kind of. Also in terms of sports I'm glad the Bandits season is back on, I'm really happy about that. I wish I could get a helmet and black lacrosse shorts and a stick since I have two Jersys I could go as a Buffalo Bandit but i don't see that Happening, I'll figure something out on saturday. Besides that how would I Cary my camera.

metalpeter - 10/27/07 13:59
I'm so fucking lame sometimes I just didn't have what it took to get out last night and my costume ideas arn't working out. I didn't get a pumpkin so I will still be there tonight and will look different but I won't look like how I want to look.

metalpeter - 10/26/07 18:43
I have to admit that there have been bands that I wanted to see there but I have missed them for what ever reason of something coming up or just not being able to go there. Most concerts I see are at concert venues that also have bars as opposed to bars that have music. I good example of that is "The Stripteasers" They are a boulesque act that performs at Roxy's (never seen them there but seen that at Music is art) and they where at Nieches on like a friday and I found out they had been there on Saturday and they are also part of there Halloween bash on Saturday but I would rather be at (e:pmt)'s party. I also have to admit that I have never been to "The old Pink" now it has like green flames on it but I guess it is called the "old Pink" still. One of the reasons is that during the week I have to wake up early for work so going to shows that start late at night isn't a good mix really.

libertad - 10/26/07 17:53
I'm really surprised that was your first time at Nietches. I haven't been there yet, but you manage to do so much in Buffalo, I just would have assumed you had been there a thousand times.

Sweetest day darkness
Category: holiday

So If I remember correctly I went with the dark flower as my user picture around Valentines day. If I remember correctly there where a lot of anti valentines day posts. Well Today I found out that Saturday is Sweetest day. If I only knew of one of "Message parlors" in my hood that might be a great way to spend it. From what I understand it is the 3rd Saturday of October and that makes it only a day away. I'm thinking maybe I will buy myself something. I think that I may as a way of kinda mocking the holiday but also being nice finding every lady who is a myspace friend and giving them a sweetest day greeting. I wonder if they even make them at any of those myspace sites. I wish I was artist so I could draw something very dark with tears of blood that form a rose or something like that. Or maybe I can just listen to Hawthorne Heights all day. Not sure what I will do other then try to see a movie in some form. So for those of you who think it is a made up Holiday Fuck Sweetest day!!!!!!! And for those of you deep in love I Hope it is an awesome day!!!!!!!!! Oh and for those of you who are in love but think it is a bullshit holiday then treat each other great all the time and don't use it or valentines day as an excuse to treat each other great just twice a year, not including birthdays and aniversaries. Have a great weekend everyone.

I'll be honest I'm not sure. When I first heard about it was from someone else and at that time I had never heard of it and thought the girl made it up. But years later I saw a sign for it at sweet tooth I so knew it was real. I borrowed this from wikipedia or if you don't want to read that in a comment or someone wants more info here is the website.

Sweetest Day
Observed by Mostly Midwestern United States
Type Local
Date Third Saturday in October
2007 date October 20
Celebrations Giving small presents such as greeting cards, candy, and flowers to loved ones

Sweetest Day is an observance celebrated primarily in the Great Lakes region and parts of the Northeast United States on the third Saturday in October[1]. It is described by Retail Confectioners International, as "much more important for candymakers in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities)" and an "occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed."[2] Sweetest Day has also been referred to as a "concocted promotion"[3] created by the candy industry solely to increase sales of candy.

The origin of Sweetest Day is frequently attributed to candy company employee Herbert Birch Kingston as an act of philanthropy.[4] However, Bill Lubinger, a reporter for The Plain Dealer, contends that "Dozens of Cleveland's top candy makers concocted the promotion 84 years ago and it stuck, although it never became as widely accepted as hoped."[5] The Cleveland Plain Dealer's October 8, 1921 edition, which chronicles the first Sweetest Day in Cleveland, states that the first Sweetest Day was planned by a committee of 12 confectioners chaired by candymaker C. C. Hartzell. The Sweetest Day in the Year Committee distributed over 20,000 boxes of candy to "newsboys, orphans, old folks, and the poor" in Cleveland, Ohio[6]. The Sweetest Day in the Year Committee was assisted in the distribution of candy by some of the biggest movie stars of the day including Theda Bara and Ann Pennington.[7]

There were also several attempts to start a "Sweetest Day" in New York City, including a declaration of a Candy Day throughout the United States by candy manufacturers on October 8, 1922.[8] In 1927, The New York Times reported that "the powers that determine the nomenclature of the weeks of October" decreed that the week beginning on October 10, 1927 would be known as Sweetest Week.[9] On September 25, 1937, The New York Times reported under Advertising News and Notes that The National Confectioners Association had launched a "movement throughout the candy industry" to rank Sweetest Day with the nationally accepted Mother's Day, Father's Day, and St. Valentine's Day.[10] In 1940, another Sweetest Day was proclaimed on October 19. The promotional event was marked by the distribution of more than 10,000 boxes of candy by the Sweetest Day Committee.[11] The candy was distributed among 26 local charities. 225 children were given candy in the chapel at the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children on October 17, 1940.[11] 600 boxes of candy were also delivered to the presidents of the Jewish, Protestant and Catholic Big Sister groups of New York.[11]

Today

Sweetest Day now largely involves giving small presents such as greeting cards, candy, and flowers to loved ones. While it is not as large or widely observed as Valentine's Day, it is still celebrated in parts of the United States, despite persistent allegations of being a "Hallmark holiday." [12] In 2006, Hallmark marketed 151 greeting card designs for Sweetest Day. American Greetings marketed 178.[13]

So what are you supposed to do? Eat sweets for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

I am sure this day was sponsored by the people who make Metformin, in its zillion forms.

maybe I'll go
Category: event

I have to admit as much as I like music I don't hear enough new music or enough local music. I also admit that I have never made it to Club Diablo. But there is an event there that I'm thinking about going to. Often the problem is on Friday after a long work week I don't feel like going out But this event does sound like it might be fun. Hopefully I make it.

The Prom Web site
Category: philosophy

So I weird thing happened today I'm listing to music at work and one of Bryan Adams song comes on and it reminded me that it was a song at a prom a long, long, time ago. That got me to thinking that you know how there are all those complication CDs has there ever been one called Prom Songs? It would be perfect it really would be. So that got me to thinking about that I wonder if kids who use myspace or friendster or what ever site they use can now (unlike when I was a kid) can have prom pictures and slide shows with all there friends. It would kinda be like an online year book. I have no idea if people actually do this. But my next thought was they could even expand it and once in College ad semi formals and stuff like that. That is about as far as my mind could go at work.

The Category is philosophy so I guess I should expand those thoughts a little bit. I wonder does having a digital camera and taking pictures and posting them change what it is to go to a prom. At first I thought no, it is just a different way to document it. But maybe it does what if you are the kid who trips and falls into the punch bowl. Before that was a funny story that maybe moved through school. But now the people who like it might post that picture cause it is funny and the person who tripped you posts it as a way of humilating you on line. To kinda follow that up If you are dancing a pose so someone can get that good shot does that change anything. What about the posse of boys or even girls who go together as friends not because they are gay. If other people take pictures and post them would that change how they view them selves going togather? Again I don't really have the answers just things to kinda think about.

Now then this gets me thinking a little bit about those sex pictures that got posted on (e:strip). The first thing is sex pictures should all ways be taken and posted with consent. I admit when I first saw them I did like them. That being said I'm not sure the intent of putting them up was right. I also think that any picture posted about anything should be put up for the same reason it is taken (generally). For example if I took a picture with an (e:peep) could be anyone lets say (e:theecarey) , (e:imk2), and (e:ladycroft) and when we took it we where having fun at a party. If I post that picture then fine. But lets say we get into a debate on (e:strip) and I get upset at one of them then it would be wrong to post that picture and say how one of those people is a back stabber or something along those lines. I know if it was me I would be pissed that this person was using a picture from when we where all having fun and is now using that picture as a negative. So I can't even Imagine sex pictures that way. I know if I had sex with some girl and she said I was a bad lay I would be upset but, hey if it was true then I could learn from it. But if she posted pictures of me or worse yet video of when things went wrong then I would be pissed. But see it would be different if we had a great time and she was reflecting back and said "Pete was a real asshole sometimes" But we sure had fun taking nude pics and posted them in a positive light. That is why I don't really have a problem with most of those famous sex videos is I think most of them where leaked not as a way to get back at someone plus in those you have to remember both people are in it.

So somehow my mind wonders to someplace completely different. But that is me and I don't know as I can get back on track. Other then to say I think documenting things like the prom, or parties is a good Idea and can be fun. Plus it is a good way to share thing with friends on line or who are out of town. But I do think that sometimes it can effect what you are doing. My joke at a couple parties has been if I catch on fire please take some pictures of it. Yes I would like someone to make sure I don't get burned to death but those with cameras should take pictures as a way to document it. I think that maybe someone should do a study on this and maybe they could get a grant to do this study. Hey another cool study would be to see how people on reality shows change based on the Video Cameras. I think a cool one would be one of those Newport or Laguna shows where the cameras can't film in the schools.

In any event Haven't had much to say lately so In case I don't have anything else to say hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!
