Saturday Sabres
Category: going out

(e:carolinian) and I went out on Saturday to the Sabres game. Obviously we have to give him credit for showing up @ HSBC in his Red & Black.

Sitting in the 200 level does open you up to many things that the regular folk do not experience. The magic of cable television.

Instead of waiting in traffic we decided to check out what Artvoice has been screaming about at the Buffalo Creek Casino.

It is scary that I could breath better given the smoking situation in the Old Pink than I could in that place. All I can say is that everything that they said about the place is true and I'll leave it at that for now.

Afterwards before I droped him off we stopped by Essex St and I basically ran into a Lewiston reunion. Low and behold I ran into an old friend of mine that is now bar tending there on Saturday nights J*. Running into that guy is like uncovering an old journal that you kept hidden or "friends only" for LJ people. It didn't hurt that 2 other people from L-ton.

Driving home was actually an interesting experience. There is nothing like feeling as if you are traveling through some inter dimensional warp. Not noticing where you are because of the blinding snow and having time vertigo due to not being where you should be given the amount of time you have been traveling in the car. It was just fortunate that the back roads were empty since the name of the game is avoiding the bad winter drivers.

Glad you two had a good time. I have been to the 200 section once for a game and it is amazing. Like you showed that is where they do the intermisson report from. They have that huge place you can eat and watch the game from. If I understand it correctly there is someway you can order food and they will bring it to your seat, but not sure about that. If memory serves correctly those are also the most expsensive (tied maybe) seats in the place The game looked great on TV I just wish Miller could have held the shut out. Sounds like you both had a good time, I will say that it is strange to kinda have a youngstown reuinon at Essex (been there once, long time ago for about a drink maybe).

Your last paragraph reminds me of that classic X-files episode when they loose time in the car and everything goes b&w and blurry for some seconds.

(e:carolinian) and you look like siblings - what with the winter gear and everything!!!

If anyone is bored I'll be @ Broadway Joe's catching The Karma Police. It's been almost a year since I have caught one of their shows and supposedly they learned some new material off of the "free" album they just released.

Narrator: "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero." Yea the 90's are an ancient memory, what's next Jennifer Aniston going Grey like Anderson Cooper?

I almost want to cry.

This article made me laugh my ass off. :-D

Yes you can get really "Fucked Up" in Niagara Falls Ontario Canada. You need to have some sense of equilibrium. Then I guess these kids that go to UB never had to anything to prepare them from wherever they grew up. Then again we didn't have Eastern Euros selling themselves when I was a teenager. Although I never have participated in such an exchange of commerce, knowing the going market rate they are getting a bargain compared to Las Vegas.

In terms of JLH I still think she is cute. I'm guessing what caused the weight is that she doesn't need to stay in shape since she hasn't been in a movie anyone has heard of in a long time, I allways thought she had great huge lovely breasts and it looks like with the added weight they got even bigger, some one please give her a movie she can still act.

That story about the falls was interesting, and it makes a lot of good points. It also shows how college kids need to learn to control there drinking. I admit it is easy to over do it, it happens to me. I have a drink and I feel fine and then I have one too many and the food comes up with it. If I was at a strip club I don't know as I could get a BJ. Yeah it sounds hot and I'm sure sompared to other places it might be a good price, but with a condom and if you where planning on doing other things if you were not prepaired that could take a big chunk out of the fun you planed on having. But if was planned for it might be a lot of fun. The thing I wonder about that the article doesn't meantion is what was the girl willing to bet on the 3 song thing and what would happen based on who was right.

yes but anderson cooper is a sexy silver surfer!

Persomally, i think JLH looks better with a bit of junk in her trunk. She was too bony before. She needs a bit of meat. Besides, that is what real women actually look like... that airbrush shit has got to go.

So True
Category: thoughts

This article made me think of this quote.

It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.
Gore Vidal
US author & dramatist (1925 - )

It just reminds me of how some people make a ton of money at the racetrack by betting long shots. They collect when the masses go down in flames. Or the guys that have been hoarding gold or cash for the last 5 years that are going to buy up all of the foreclosed homes stemming from the credit crunch.

We all can't prosper together. Ok, maybe we all can under some kind of socialism but still we aren't happy if we are all bunched in between 1 standard deviation. We are truly programed to keep score in this zero sum game called the world.

I disagree - It's not zero sum. Of course, it's also not an unbounded sum. Somewhere in the middle :)

Let it sink in...

Seriously I am watching Missouri and Kansas play each other on Prime time for the possibility of playing for the National Championship or whatever they call Division 1 these days

On another note I saw Perry Ferrel & 50 Cent do the pre-game intro song.

If you told me in 1997 that Perry Ferrel would be doing a song with a rapper for a college football game with Kansas & Missouri competing for the national title in late November I would told you that you got some really freaky drugs in your system.

Also as someone who roots for the underdog I don't know who to root for, since both teams have sucked for the past 100 years LITERALLY!
