"The Real World" Awards
Category: reality tv
So last night I caught this show on MTV called the Real World Awards. It was an hour and a half and there is some 2 hour version on Friday. It was also kinda a reunion also. The thing that was interesting is it didn't seem like there where that many awards, but that is just me. I guess when this next season starts it will be the 20th season. I have not all ways watched it but some seasons I have been really into it. It is tough to believe it is really 20 years. I don't know if I had MTV when it first came on. Well wait 20 years isn't really right 20 seasons but not sure how many years ago it started. There was a small part on how issues in peoples lives where reflected in the show. I know some people really can't stand reality shows and think that a lot of it is all about the drama and some of that is true but that isn't all ways the case. I would say that the Real World at least started out as very good. I would still like to see what they call "The Real-Real World". What it would be is you go to a city and take anywhere from 4-8 people and make them stay to gather in the same house and film it. It is TV so they would all still be hot. But I think that might get more interesting. One thing that makes the real world a little hard to believe is that the houses are all ways these amazing houses that no one really lives in. One other thing I would like to see is the stuff that is two hot for TV. I have never seen big brother but each week on Showtime I think they have like this 3 hour maybe it is 2 hours called big Brother after dark. I would like to see maybe an hour show on a pay channel of stuff each week that MTV couldn't show. It could even be on right after the show ended on MTV. For some reason looking into other peoples lives is fun sometimes. For anyone who says no it isn't what are you talking about, let me remind you that when you read someone else's blog that is what you are doing. Yes you are reading there version and only there side of the story but it is really the same thing. I had some other points too but I kinda blanked on them.

I know I have seen clips of the first season of the real world but not sure if I have seen any full episodes of it. I guess I should look for it on line and see if I can find it.

You know the very first "Real World" was just that Peter. The first season (1992)was in this tiny apartment in New York City. It's completely different from what it is today. I'm sure you can find episodes online and watch them :)

Great work ethic isn't all ways great
Category: work
First of all if anyone from work is reading this it isn't personal. I do understand that there is a difference between how people are work wise and personally and try to separate that. I think I do a god job of that but it isn't easy. I wish I could have written this in the morning when I was more pumped up and a wake.

I think that I have a good work ethic. I don't think I'm the only one like that. But sometimes having a strong work ethic can be bad. I'm not saying that it is bad, but if it is to strong then it can cause problems. For example when you want to do a really good job then when things are not how you think they should be or could be or when there are things that bother you they are worse. When you care a lot you can't really just go oh well who cares. The other problem is that if you decide that you are not going to care about that "little Stuff" then that will effect how hard you work. Lately work has been driving me a little crazy. I'm not saying that I don't like where I work or anything but sometimes where you work just gets on your nerves and lately it has been on mine.

That being said I do like to goof around some and still have fun at work. That being said the work still should come first and be the main focus not what is done after the fun and goofing off. But just because you have a good work ethic doesn't mean you do the most work. There are other factors like your abilities and the type of person you are. For example someone who hates to work but who is a stock boy might work super fast and get everything thing filled then go fuck off in the back for a few hours then come back out and check everything out a little bit before they have to leave and then quickly fill anything else they need to. But then you can have someone with a great work ethic but they are an over organiser and planner so they think about how they will save all this time and plan all the shit they have to do out and then wind up doing so much thinking that they don't wind up doing really anything at all.

On a side note I ordered Wrestlemania Last night and it was pretty good. I heard on the radio that some people got hurt from some pyro that went off wrong at the end. I'll have to look that up. I wonder if this will cause WWE to not do pyro anymore. I doubt it since the event last night was outside and there is wind and stuff that might have been a factor.

3rd snow post
Category: snow
So first of all in my last post I mentioned world of wheels that is currently going on, I'll be going on Saturday sometime and hopefully that will be my next post. So I was going to write about the snow and this is currently the 3rd one about it from today. So here are my thoughts about the snow.

First of all since in don't snowboard or ski I'm sick of the snow and winter. One of the reasons why winter seems so long is because it can snow around Halloween and still snow at easter. I have had easter dinner (late in the year) and it has snowed before. But the other reason is the way the year is broken up by winter. The new year starts during the winter and then ends again in the winter so it makes it seem even longer then it is.

So I had heard that there was a snow fall warning or what ever they call it. As it rained last night I didn't think it would turn to snow but it sure did. I wish when I woke up this morning I took my camera out side. The snow was so pretty. It was the way it just kinda sat on the trees and it really looked very nice. So it was odd that it looked pretty and yet you could be tired of it at the same time. That being said I wouldn't be shocked to see it snow one more time during this early spring season. But that is Buffalo it is better then floods and Huricaines so I guess the snow isn't so bad in comparison.

World of Wheels 2008 updated
Category: photos
So today I went to The World Of Wheels at the convention center. I got there and there was a pretty good crowd but it wasn't too bad you could see all the cars. Some of them where classics and then some where pimped out and then some where motorcycles. I had a good time and really liked the Hamburger I got. I won't post all my pictures but I'll put up a lot of random ones. Here they are:

If you made it to the bottom of these pictures then I would say you like cars and should go to the convention center. It was $12 and I had a coupon that took $3 off that price. It didn't get picked randomly but I also didn't go to the end of my photos either but there is this really cool huge Motorcycle there that with out seeing it is hard to describe. The mustang room is pretty cool to. There is so me amazing paint jobs on some vechiles. The things with pictures is that the show only part of the car you can't really see the interior or all the angles. There was this one pretty sweet looking car with skulls on in black and white. I don't have my pictures up on Webshots yet but hopefully Sunday I will have time to put them up. My computer is moving slow otherwise more pictures would have gone up. I will admit that there where a couple cars I saw last year like that semi but the ones that I did where pretty cool. There was a Bently there and a few really nice classic cars there also.

Hey why not throw in a bonus 6 pictures and see what we get.

Just to clear one thing up the reason that the photos are random is first of all it would take to long to put them all up here. Second of all and more importantly I guess with my old camera the software was different and when you used estrip you knew what the picture (small version) was but now you don't so I just do it randomly. Hope if people read this it didn't bore you or if you did that you went to another journal.

I just wanted to add that I have a lot of my pictures on photo hosting site called webshots. I myself like that site a lot. I think it is a great site to put pictures up on. Back to the car show, I wanted to remind everyone that it is still going on today I think from like 10 to 10 but not sure I'm not sure if this will show up as a link or not but if anyone wants to the can at least copy and paste the link then. My webshots album isn't in order that I took the pictures but nothing is timely so it doesn't really matter.

World OF Wheels this weekend
Category: events


This weekend is the world of wheels custom car show. Last year was pretty cool. I assume that the cars won't be the same this year. I thought I would put up a few pictures from last years show.

The Thing I liked is that there was a good variety of cars. You had a mustang club room that was all mustangs. Then there was a custom room. That had things that I would call pimped like a golf cart with tv's and a truck with flip up doors and the entire back area speakers. Then of course you have the classic style cars. then there are the classic with the new fancy flames. Then there are muscle cars. There where even trucks and Motorcycles. I really liked the painted semi truck. I thought it was a lot of fun last year and there site mentions there main car will be a big surprise and I wonder what it will be this year.

I didn't really read any old blogs from last year. But when I was looking up the pictures they were in the same album of St.Mats. A quick recap shows (e:lilho), (e:ingrid),(e:jenks), (e:theecarey), bubbles and a bunch of other (e:peeps). That doesn't seem like it was over a year ago but I guess it was.
