I will hopefully do a full post with pictures of the game and the couple clubs I went to and my thanksgiving lunch and dinner once I download the pictures. This is just to say that I hope everyone had a great holiday and that they enjoy (ed) "Black Friday" . I also hope that everyone has a great long weekend. Not sure what I'm going to do. I kinda might want to look into sabres tickets but I think I'll just watch the game at home on Friday and go see Hitman (never played the game but the movie looks pretty sweet. The other movies I want to see is that one called "no country for old men" it looks awesome I hope it goes to the regal elmwood but hopefully I don't miss it like I did with "Across the universe" I also want to see "enchanted" that is the Disney movie where the storytale charachters come into the real world. I don't think it opens yet but I'm also looking forward to seeing that golden compass movie that looks really good. Ok i guess this is were I end my quick little post.

Miller Sabres Turkey trotCategory: sports
First of all for you skiers out there I thought I would remind you that at sheas they are having a showing of Warren Miller's newest movie, it was a lot of fun going to see one last year. I think it is Nov 29th.
The night before Thanksgiving I'm going to the Sabres game. It should be a good time, I would love to see them Beat Ottawa. I'm not sure if they are good enough to but it will still be a good time. I'm thinking after the game I might go check out Club Diablo they are having some kind of Party for Art And Body it is a Tattoo shop. Then early Thanksgiving I have to wake up and take pictures of the sis since she will run in the turkey trot. She wants me to but there is no way I can I'm not in good enough shape to.
Then on the 25th I'm going to TSO that will be a good time, they allways are. Then A week after the Ottawa Sabres game I'm going to see them play the St. Louis Blues that is the day before the Snowboarding movie.
I hope everyone has a nice long weekend and enjoys thanksgiving mine will be watching Football and relaxing after I wake up early.

Is Global Warming good for the earth?Category: environment
Most of the time in movies they use this one type of monkey I think in Baseball they call it a rally monkey and it is cute and adorable so it gets away with doing bad deads. The most recent movie I saw this in was National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2. They are on a cruise and as in most of those movies there was a bunch of hot young things in the nude. But that wasn't what I was writing about. I thought monkey's stealing stuff was bullshit well untill I saw this article on Yahoo's new page today.
Thieving monkeys 'out of control' in northeast India

GUWAHATI, India (AFP) - Troupes of monkeys are out of control in India's northeast, stealing mobile phones and breaking into homes to steal soft drinks from refrigerators, lawmakers in the region have complained.
"Monkeys are wreaking havoc in my constituency by taking away mobile phones, toothpastes, sipping coke after opening the refrigerators," Hiren Das told Assam state's assembly.
He said the primates were "even slapping women who try to chase them".
"It is a cause of serious concern in my area, with more than 1,000 such simians turning aggressive by the day," fumed Goneswar Das, another legislator representing Raha in eastern Assam.
Assam's wildlife minister, Rockybul Hussain, said the state government has formed a panel to study the problem.
Because of shrinking forest cover, monkeys have increasingly moved into cities elsewhere in India as well.
Last week, around two dozen people were hurt after monkeys rampaged through a New Delhi neighbourhood.
Last month, the deputy mayor of Delhi died when he fell from his balcony after being attacked by monkeys.
Efforts to drive out the animals is complicated by the fact that devout Hindus view them as an incarnation of Hanuman, the monkey god who symbolises strength.
If you go to yahoos page above maybe they have more information.
Well above is where the journal stopped on myspace but then I thought some more. I didn't mean to think this was just going to be a piece of news. But then I remembered about another thing in India about how the Elephants would find that wine and get drunk and go on a rampage. Not because they are mean but because they get drunk. I wonder if they really like just the taste or if they prefer the getting drunk part, maybe someone could do a study on that for one of those nature channels.
The reason for these troubles and others like deer in Amherst , or mountain lions or bears eating people is that Habitats for animals are getting smaller. If you believe in creation or evolution it doesn't matter they where hear before we where so we are moving into their space not the other way around. Some would argue that we are better then they are so it is there lose, not a bad point really. But what those people forget about is that there is a balance in nature. Mankind has been throwing things out of balance for a long time. Making the air and water dirty over all is the biggest one. But as more trees and rain forests get cut down then we don't even have the things that in nature can get rid of the carbon monoxside (sp? whats new). I won't get into the fact that most of us eat more then we need to and have done things like shot Buffalo for sport and not even use the meat or skin for anything. There are places (yes I want to visit them) like China and Japan that are very overcrowded. Humans are slowly killing the earth. Some people might say we are not causing global warming. They have a right to that thought. Even if we aren't that doesn't make my point any less.
Global warming is good for the earth. It just isn't good for humans. I will admit that I don't have the science background to know what will happen in theory. I don't think the science people really do. We know that if the ice caps melt then they will turn into water in some form. No one really knows how much the water will rise. First of all when water expands when it frezes. secondly how much of that ice will evaporate and turn into rain and where will it rain. How will the changing water temps effect the weather. You can make all kinds of gueses and use science but that is all they are. But what we can assume is that water levels will rise and some land will be lost my Cali maybe it will be greenland, Japan or Texas. But what I assume is that there will be a loss of life and land that is very high. Maps will have to be re drawn. Who knows maybe the change in climate will cause the us to be a lot smaller and it will rain regularly in places known as deserts. But what I'm pretty sure about is that the earth will at some point will re balance the equation. I just hope that the people who live through it and smart enough to record everything and learn from man kinds mistakes. Hey but maybe global warming is just a way for people to make us fear and then control us economicly, wouldn't be the first time.

I totally agree with what you say here. I just made the monkey statement because most Delhites hate them. They have been a constant source of annoyance to people in my city ever since I can remember. They jump on people, scratch and maul passers-by, tear up clothes, dig up plants and are unruly and menacing. :/
I think it's good that people are thinking about global warming and its consequences. It's also high time that people took some action to actually stop it from getting worse. I have a huge guilt trip everytime I generate trash, waste energy, use non-biodegradable products, fly on airplanes and generally increase my carbon footprint. I have signs everywhere - in my office, at home to remind me to turn off things, and conserve as much as I can. But it's not the actions of a handful of people which make a difference, it's the action of a population as a whole, of countries and continents.
However, such feelings of helplessness are not helpful at all. I believe we all should personally take drastic steps in our lives - because even if we look like whackos and hippies, it's contributing toward saving our planet. I couldn't care less about people who think I am "weird". You can go to your graves with the knowledge that you were a worse human being for not even trying.
Check out my and (e:libertad)'s posts about carbon footprints and recycling. Every single thing counts. When it comes to reducing carbon foot-prints, there is no such thing as moderation. It is out of control just like the monkeys are. It needs immediate action. So the post is actually apposite. The monkeys are an analogy to how we as selfish humans are running our lives today.

Sometimes I get into a philosphical mode. Thanks for the info. I assumed that since it was reported that it was something New. It seems so strange to me that people would feed monkeys on purpose. It would be like if I walked into downtown Buffalo and feed the pigieons or sea gulls down by the waterfront. I still think that the balance of nature is thrown off by humans though.

BTW, just so things are viewed in a balanced perspective, monkeys are always out of control in Delhi - global warming or not. It is the banana-feeding nasty habit of apparently "pious" housewives, priests and business men who have nothing better to do, that has slid the city into so much monkey trouble.

BeowulfCategory: movies
So today I went to the first showing of Beowulf. Lets get to the important stuff first the nudity. Both Beowulf and just blanked on Aglenia Jolie's role. The good and the bad news for some and the other way for others is that: Beowulf is naked but there are no dick shots. They do like how they did in Austin Powers (but not in jest) where they had someone head or elbow blocking the shot. The fighting scenes move to fast for you to see anything as he flips but I'm guessing it was shot so that when it comes out on dvd you wouldn't be able to see anything either. Now Angelina on the other hand wow her boobs look good they are really amazing. I'm not used to seeing that ones that good unless I'm watching a movie at home by myself. Yes some of them where kinda covered in gold but they are amazing and they did have front shots. Now to the rest of the movie not that I can concentrate on it anymore. I like that there was a lot of action and still a very good story. I don't know how they do the art of it. I know that the actors at least act all the stuff out and do the motions. I don't know if they film them and then put the art over them or draw them out. However they do it it look very realistic and there is a lot of depth in all the scenes. I can't imagine how cool it would look in 3D or on and IMAX screen. The other thing I'm not sure of is if things where filmed the same for both versions or if things are added to the 3D film version or if it was filmed so with glasses the film is enhanced. In any event I really enjoyed it and had a great time.
I Just wanted to ad that the above link or line of text for anyone who is interested should lead to my webshots page I put up most of my city hall and downtown pictures and put up the Halloween pictures up and they should be in order as well.

To be honest I have no idea what makes something an epic poem. from what I read I guess the guy who did the movie didn't understand Beowulf when he read it either. But that when he got the script he loved this story. Hey not that I have any idea what those poems are about or any of them why not tap into them for movies, hollywood sometimes needs to go another way and not just follow all the same formulas.

I can't wait for other epic poems to be made into movies.
Like the Mabnagadon or the Kalevalla... which was turned into a terrible, terrible movie. There wasn't a single exposed breast in it!

I think they are showing a 3d version at one of the movie stations here. I'm really looking forward to seeing it!

City Hall Medical CampusCategory: photos
So when I saw this picture on the art voice I picked Up it reminded me of (e:ladycroft) and then it also reminded me of a couple (e:strip) parties very quickly. For some of you newer peeps you might not really have an idea why but there will be things for some of you a little further down in this post.
So today I went to the DMV to renew my non drivers ID and after that I went to city hall and Froze. The reason I froze was that I went up to the observation deck and I think my hand went numb. These are not all the pictures I took. I"m not sure how they will look on here and how much detail the small building will have but here goes.
Here are a few pictures of the inside of City Hall
So as I'm on my way to "the medical Campus" area I got to have a fun time about 20 feet from Hyatt's. Out of no where someone calls to me. They ask me "If I'm all right" i say "i'm good" if you don't know the lingo he was asking if I want drugs. But then is where I lost the guy on lingo. He said something about him being a "Pill Popper" I don't remember what I said exactly but then he followed that up with "I'm not a pill popper either". Again very strange. Well here are some pictures from around that area (again not in exact order)
Afterwards I thought about going to the Anchor bar but didn't feel like it. One of these pictures is to show a church and a certain house some of you should know. I didn't know that stuff that grows on houses turned color I thought it was allways green I guess I was wrong.
Hopefully everyone has a great weekend. With the holidays and lots of things coming up this might be the last crazy weekend so everyone should enjoy it. Hopefully I will see Baowolf on sat. I do have a question in High School we read a story of the same name. All I remember is that it was written in really old and really hard to understand old english and only our teacher understood what was going on, is there any connection between that story and this movie? oh yeah and the graphics look amazing also.

Yeah, I'm kind of curious to see how they translate epic Old English into live-action. All I remember about beowulf is there's a monster called Grendel.
But I saw a preview for it the other day- and it looked so computer animated/enhanced I thought it was an ad for a video game. I honestly thought it was a well-drawn cartoon of angelina, not angelina herself.

First Of all I'm glad you like the pictures and hopefully soon I'll have them posted in order and will give a link to it.
In terms of Beowulf I saw on Regal's movie site that it is the same guy from the Epic Poem. But what I'm sorry about is that it is rated PG-13. First of all they should have made sure that it was R. I'm guessing this means that when we see Agelina we will only see her from the back and not the front. I hope they give us full frontal but I have a feeling that may not happen. when a girl has big tits the way around it is to show the boobs from the side or from the back and you can still tell the shape but you don't see nipple. I'm hoping that we get a front shot but that they don't draw in the nipple. In any event I will try to review on here in some form.

oh yeah beowulf, angelina is naked in it, right? i have to go see that too. i wonder if she got paid for that, as if she was really naked, or if she just got paid for voice acting. i would think they would have to pay her to use her image as well. and if they were showing her boobies, they should pay even more. although we've already seen her boobies in GIA.
ok, enough about angelina's boobies.
i wonder what her ass looks like?

"No Country for Old Men", in my opinion, was fantastic. Go see it! Coen brothers really impressed me with this one. I aim to read Cormac McCarthy's book of the same title since the movie left me with many questions and intrigue. Javier Bardem as Chigurh is down right amazing in his role. I dont know who he is, but he's perfect. Good stuff, but pay attention. There is depth and the story line isnt spoon-fed, if you know what I mean.
No country... does look like it will be very good. When I reread the movies I did see that it is at a regal not just the elmwood one so Hopefully that means it will get there at some point.
I hear no country for old men is awesome. I might have to check it out.
The Hitman series are GREAT games. I love that you can choose several different routes and ways to complete your missions. Let's hope "47" looks as good on the big screen! Let me know.
OOOOh. I want to see "Enchanted" too. Just my kind of movie. Happy. Fascinating. But mostly happy happy! :)
