1000th Indy PotpurriCategory: e:strip
1000th Post
Well I was hoping it would be about some huge event like being on a white sand beach or Mountain or something along those lines. Then I meet a couple people and they have a bunch of girls and there is some event like a bonfire or being pushed over a waterfall and swimming in the Lagune (the thing at the bottom of the falls that is some how deep and calm and the water doesn't move.) Then of course every one would do some type of drug that bonds us all together and there is some kind of group or multi partner sex. After wards everyone gets the same tattoo that binds us all to that moment for life and to each other so we never forget it.
But nothing like that ever happens to me and even if it where to the timing isn't right so I'll just write about today and the movie I saw.
But before I do that I do want to add that I have been slowing down on how much a post, and not sure why that is. Who knows maybe it is because I don't do so much during the winter other then wake up early and trek out to work trek home go on line and watch TV. then there are also sports events but no Taste of Buffalo or anything like that. It is odd to think of that many posts I guess I'm a big mouth sometimes the fact that I have 2,853 comments currently that I've posted would agree with that, but other times I'm very keep to my self type of person. I did have the idea to video myself typing a blog then down load it then upload it to youtube but I don't really know how to video on my camera and I have no idea how to do you tube here. I also thought about putting links to other journals I had written on here but kinda forgot how to do that plus that would mean a lot of re reading. It is to bad I couldn't find 1000 hot ladies or neat Tattoo pictures that was another idea for a 1000th post. I didn't want to get into an issue on my about 100th post. So onto indy.
I can't compare the new Indiana Jones to the old ones because I don't remember much about them. Yeah I know I liked them and that at some theme park they had an Indiana Jones show that was pretty cool with huge flames and tricks, my guess is Epcott Center but not sure. One thing I have heard from a few places is Harrison Ford is old and then they break on the movie. Well I got some bad news for the people I have heard say this he is in Better shape then you are, and I'm guessing he is in better shape now then your where 5 years ago and maybe 10 years ago, if that is true then you need to shut up.
Some people say that they did this as a way to just make money. I do see there point because there are a lot of product tie ins, ceral multiple ones, and Burger King come to mind quickly. I tried the indy burger I think it is a new kind of Whopper and it was pretty tasty. I don't think it is all about the money. I could be wrong here But I think with the success of Movies like National Treasure and Tomb Raider it shows that people still like this kind of movie. I think this will not be the only new Indiana Jones Movie. I could Ford doing one more and there is another thing they could do and I think they might but to say it here would give away a part of the movie.
Ok onto the movie itself. How can you not like a movie that starts out with music by Elvis, It is background music and doesn't really have anything to do with the story. Story wise I liked it, again that is all I will say don't want to give anything away. Even though she was evil it was nice to see a strong women as being the evil lead charachter, I wonder if they will do a Sci-Fi spinoff (again if you saw how it ended you know where I'm going) that would be funny. Of course there is a lot of action including fighting and that is all ways good. I like that Indy wasn't perfect. I'm sure if you anyone has seen the previews the show the scene where he swings and doesn't make his target there is another scene kinda like that. It was a lot of fun and think anyone would like it. It is also good family viewing. You don't have to know about the cold war and that the (not nazi's here) nazi supposidly tried to find occult powers to take over the world. You don't have to worry about cursing or sex scenes or all kinds of blood. Yes that is good stuff but it doesn't fit in this movie and it wouldn't have seemed right if it would have been I don't do the star system but I'll say 3 out of 4 or 4 out of 5 and two thumbs up.
One thing I do need to mention before the movie though, and I don't mean the preview for the new Hell Boy movie that really looks amazing. I mean the coke ads. The most recent is two people debating on some show they say the same thing one buys one a coke and they tour washington, great ad it really is. I admit I'm a Perpsi Guy myself. That being said Coke has way better ads. There is one with santa who gives out coke bottles to this little girl over the ages untill she is old and then gives it to her graduaghter or something like that. There have been a bunch of great ones But here is the part where I need Help in all there ads (maybe they are all made in other countries) they always have tall glass coke bottles, hey maybe it is just me but where I live they don't even sell those anymore. Do they sell them in America anymore? Also it got me thinking is glass or plastic better for the enviroment. Granted I know glass breaks and is heavy but if you droped a bottle of (owned by pepsi) Sobe they land on there bottom and bounce into your shin or at least when I have done that, that is what happens.
Hope everyone gets to have a great long Holiday weekend, even if that means you have to do more at work on tuesday.

Death NoteCategory: movies




The Chinese food was pretty good. I think I had like two plates but it was worth it. The food and company was good The people who went where (e:Imk2) and Faben (sorry if I misspelled that), (e:Jenks) and Dan, (e:Tiburon), (e:Paul) and myself. It was nice to meet (e:Tiburon) I hope you liked everyone you meet and had a good time it seemed like you did. I have to thank (e:Imk2) that was a great idea. When I first heard about it I wanted to go the movie but got the date wrong and thought it was next month. To Dan and Paul thanks for getting me home. I really did have a good time and I hope everyone else did also here are pictures from the Buffet.







From inside the Theartre here is one original pictures of (e:imk2) and then two that where updated on my Camera. So I hope you enjoy them.



So now onto the movie at last. I have never read any of the Manga but I watch or record DeathNote on Adult Swim after Bleach on Cartoon Network. It isn't my favorite show that they have had on but it is still pretty good. The Shirgami was so cool looking and the voice was spot on that was really cool. I thought they got L perfect. That would include all the little movements like the feet and how he holds the phone. I'm not sure if it was all the same Voice Talent from the cartoon but if not it sure sounded just like them. You might not think it but those little touches make a movie so much better. I didn't really know how they where going to tell the story or how far they would go into it. I thought the story was told pretty well. I guess the ended the movie at a pretty good point in the story. I don't really do the stars or thumbs up but it has 2 thumbs up and enough stars to be good. Oh yeah the special features where pretty good also. The only thing that I thought could have made the movie better is that there was stuff in Japanese that they could have translated on screen but I think not doing that is kinda a common thing, but other then that it was pretty cool. There where people who dressed up and screamed when there favorites where introduced. That I wasn't used to but you gotta like the passion that people have. Part 2 looks like it will be very good, not sure if they will have another screening for that anytime soon or if it is better to see if it is on DVD anywhere. I think it would be cool to see it in the large screen. They did have an ad for a Bleach Movie they will be showing in June, but that is animated not live action. Bleach is a pretty good Show also, I should go see that also.

Bandits Win 4th ChampionshipCategory: lax




























Pictures can be nice as a reflection but the thing is there is so much they can't show like the atmopshere or energy and things like that. the game was so much fun and the place was sold out. It was for the championship and there was that something that I don't know how to say that is like excite where you kinda prey you team can hold on to win, when you score a big goal you jump in the air. Well here are a few more pictures from the game.



















I'm sure NLL.com and Bandits.com have news on the game also. I look foreward to taping the game and listening to what the people say about it, that will be a way to maybe relive it a little bit. Before the game I watched Pan's Labyrnth and thought it was pretty good, I like that it was dark and had an ending of things being righted but not being happy. I thought it was pretty interesting.
I'm so glad the Bandits won it has been so long since they have won a championship. Recently they made it to the finals and lost. People have often said Buffalo has never won a championship I I would have to Correct them The Bandits won Two then it became Three and Now it will be four. People don't consider it a Major Sport but I disagree. Hockey has all ways been a major sport even when unless you lived in an NHL city you couldn't find it on TV. I won't attack bowling but I'm sorry Poker shouldn't be on ESPN it is a game there isn't anything athletic and not a sport I don't care if you have athletes on I'm sure if Lacrosse isn't on Put on Indoor or outdoor soccer or some thing. In any event I think it is great the Bandits won, and hope they can keep most of this team together for next year. On a side note I like that the win is forcing the news to cover it.
It feels good to actually win a championship in this town. That is a sweet shot of Johnnie.

not pro-life or pro-choiceCategory: issues
One thing that I don't like about the Abortion debate is how you have to be Abortion is murder and wrong or It is great and I love abortion. It seems like people have it set up to be devicisive. The first thing is that the two terms are wrong. Pro-choice means that you think women should have a choice if they want an abortion but often this term is used to mean that you like abortions and that isn't really true. The term Pro-Life is also wrong also. The reason is that if you out law abortion then some people will go and still get them like how they used to in the old days and People would bleed to death sometimes so if you are pro-life you really are not. Some Pro-life people have also killed or taken life by blowing up abortion clinics or killing doctors so that doesn't mean they are really pro life then.
I think that Abortion should be legal. I don't think the state has a right to say what a women or anyone can do to their own body. That doesn't only apply to abortion, there was a time when Tattoos were illegal. Even if I thought that the State had a right to stop a women from getting an abortion. I would still want them to be legal. The reason for that is that some people won't get them any more but a lot of people will go do the "Back Ally thing" those are very (or where) dangerous and then the mother is in danger.
In terms of the if it is a taking a life or not I'm not sure. It really depends on how far along the lady/girl is. When you call it a kid or baby then I say that it is alive and it is wrong to abort it then, that is unless it is a danger to the mother. I do think that 3rd trimester abortions are wrong. I do think that ladies should be given all the facts and one option shouldn't be pushed over others or the facts shouldn't be bias. I think that for anyone who can they should go for adoption instead but I know that isn't all ways an option. There is a 3rd cause but I don't know if it has a name that tries to cut down on the number of abortions there are a year and I would like to see more of that, it seems more senseable as opposed to the war and crazyness that goes into both movements.
SO: Abortion should be legal and safe and in some cases it is killing but in most cases it isn't, I think it is ok today but wish more people would choose adoption instead, hope I covered all my thoughts on it.
I can't imagine having a broken space bar, I don't even know what an on the screen one is, but it sounds annoying to use. I know I would hate when the computer moves slow and you can type quicker then the letters show up. I look fore ward to your response and others if anyone does so.
oh peter i wish my space bar wasn't broken so i could give you a full and proper response...this..on-screen..keyboard..is..too..slow...but..i..wil...as..soon...as..we...get...a...new...one

EDGE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: BANDITS VS 'JAX
Buffalo hosts Portland on Saturday at HSBC Arena
05/15/2008
Final preperations are being made for the 2008 Edge Championship Game, which will be held on Saturday when the Buffalo Bandits host the Portland LumberJax at HSBC Arena.
The Buffalo Bandits will host the Portland LumberJax on Saturday at 7:30 PM ET in the Edge 2008 National Lacrosse League Championship Game at HSBC Arena.
The Bandits, who are the top overall seed in the playoffs, have defeated the New York Titans and Philadelphia Wings on their home turf in East Division playoff games, while the LumberJax, who were seeded eighth overall in the post-season, have been road-warriors, upsetting the Calgary Roughnecks and San Jose Stealth in their respective buildings on their road to the Champion's Cup.
Mark Steenhuis scored seven goals last week in Buffalo's 19-12 thrashing of New York in the East Division Final. His MVP performance included four consecutive goals in the fourth quarter to put comeback hopes out of reach for New York.
"I think we're playing very well right now," said Bandits head coach Darris Kilgour. "There's a lot of anticipation going on. We're ready for a very tough battle."
Ken Montour, who leads the league in save percentage (80.8%) and is second in goals against average (10.23), made 41 saves in the win, but Mike Thompson (11.81 GAA, 76.2% save pct) will get the start in goal for Buffalo. Thompson stopped 46 shots and allowed just 12 goals in Buffalo's first-round playoff win against Philadelphia.
Portland's Dan Dawson and Ryan Powell lead all post-season scorers with 12 and eight goals, respectively. Dawson also has 10 assists for 22 points, seven better than the next points-getter, John Tavares at 15.
"Guys are playing with a lot of confidence," said LumberJax bench boss Derek Keenan. "We're playing well certainly at the right time."
Starting goaltender Matt Disher went down with an MCL strain early in the game, but Veteran goaltender Dallas Eliuk, who has served primarily as a backup in 2008, answered the call with 35 saves for the win.
"There is a chance [Disher might play Saturday]," added Keenan. "We probably won't make that decision until Saturday. He's been rehabbing all week and it's sort of a gametime thing."
The Championship Game will be a rematch of the final weekend of the regular season. The two teams met on April 26th at HSBC Arena, with Portland falling 14-10. 18-year-old Peter Jacobs was the only Portland player to score multiple goals, while John Tavares chipped in four goals and four assists for the Bandits in the victory.
The Bandits, who including the post-season are 9-2 at home, can win their first championship since 1996 with a victory on Saturday, while the LumberJax look to make history and win their franchise's first Champion's Cup.
ESPN2 will air the game on Tuesday, May 20th at 2 PM ET. The game will air LIVE on ESPN360, The Score Television Network, Eurosport2 and online at NLL.com. SIRIUS Satellite Radio will also air the game live on channel 119.

Two Points to clarify ESPN 360 is a website so it is epsn360.com . Also the goalie Disher used to play for the Bandits but not sure how long ago it was.
David Copperfield yesterday was very good. I went to the early show. There was this neat part where there where clips of him or about him in pop culture. His big trick was to get people out of the audience and then they got up on this platform with chairs and covered them he gave them flashlights and then he made them vanish. I guess the people who know them found them in the lobby after the show. The people where selected by passing balls through the crowd. He did this trick that had a story about his father and grandfather and he made a car appear and that lead to him sending flying discs into the watchers and some people went up on stage and then some people called out number and answered questions. At the end of the trick he has all these people unlock this glass container with the metal locked box inside of it. When he pulls out the paper and a audio tape the numbers matched what was picked and it matched the answers of the questions. At the very end he he picked up his fathers licensee plates and put one in front of the others and it was the numbers that where picked. I think he has demonic powers how could he know what people where going to say, HA! My boss saw the later show and said the answers where different then the show I was at, so that takes away one way he did it. He did some other cool tricks to. He has a talent at finding sexy ladies to come on stage. It was a fun time and it really flew by quickly. I would think it would be worth it to go see him if he was someplace close.
Picture wise it isn't you really, it is that it is dark in there and my camera flash is weird, plus they are not posed in terms of looking like your mother don't really know what she looks like.
I should explain that adult swim is on everyday of the week. Death Note is on Saturday night/Sunday Mornings not sure if the time is all ways the same but around 12:30 right after bleach. To say that their lineup is all ways changing isn't really true. But every so often their shows do change.
it's on adult swim? i didn't know that....
ack. i look old and like my mother in all those pix. barf!
