So in my previous post I mentioned I wanted to post about something but forgot what it was, I remember now. I had this idea well it was long ago but I remembered it this morning of a cool idea for a photo shoot. I admit it isn't to original it sounds like something Spencer Tunic would do but it really isn't. The idea would be to have some take pictures of me or of a chick completely naked but in a setting where you wouldn't notice the nudity. Of course Guerilla photography can be dangerous and could get one arrested. Part of doing it good is using a tripod and having all the lighting set ups preplanned and written down so the person could set up the camera then yell go and then the person runs out of the van and the person with the camera takes the picture. The picture would be of City Hall with someone nude it front of it one close up to confirm the person is nude then zoom out and get most of the building and then all of. The point of the picture would be that you would get the entire building and the only person in front of it would be nude but compared to the rest of the building you would hardly be able to see the nudity at all. I don't know what that says from an art point of view but I kinda like what it says. Of course any location would have to be prescouted. I think other places in Buffalo that might work but not sure are HSBC Arena maybe since it isn't to tall maybe laying down, maybe some form of Dunn Tire Park might work but again Height is a problem, ECC Downtown and the HSBC tower would work for sure. There might even be a bunch of churches with there tall towers would work pretty good. Not saying I would do this and I'm not recruiting anyone to take the pictures but it is kinda a cool idea. I think that it might work some place like NYC where there are more iconic places like the statue of Liberty and places like that. It might even be cool to travel to cities to do and only do it in front of famous places. If some goes through that much trouble someone might as well get someone else to video it. So if anyone needs a cool art project there you go. I wouldn't be surprised if this has all ready been done. The difference though between me and Tunic is it isn't about the nudity or the mass of bodies it is about being out side and in the nude but making so you don't notice the nudity because of what is being shot in the background. By the way if what is in the background of the picture is the point of the picture does the terminology change.

So if you have read my posts you might have noticed I like TV and movies. I have also written about how it seems things I like are on at the same time. Sunday Night I watched Family Guy then Star Wars the clone wars and I hit Record on Chanel 7 to Burn Desperate Housewives. So I wake up this morning and the piece of shit machine stopped recording after 13 minutes, ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH
This isn't the first time it has Happened. It sucks that it is undependable like that. I think I may know the cause but I'm not positive. This machine also records VHS tapes so it is a dual deck. If something is copyright protected it won't record it. So any thing on HBO you press record and it says uncopyable movies even if it is a TV show. This also happens on I think Sundance and IFC and what ever other network is the same company as HBO. It is frustrating to think you have this show and then you don't. It also sucks because you don't know if you can record something or not. I wonder if they make any recorders that don't follow that. I know they do make DVD players that don't follow the region codes so maybe some company makes one where you can record everything. I have tried watching Pushing Daises and Desperate Housewives through ABC's website but it doesn't work really the dialog repeats or doubles and it is anoying. I think the reason for the non recording of a show half way through is that what ever the signal is, get given off by the TV station and that triggers it to stop. I hope that I get all of Heroes and My Worst enemy. I'm guessing Boston Legal might not work since it is the same network as ABC. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG maybe when I have more time I can llook into this more on line.

I admit that I didn't see the Show live last night of Saturday Night Live I wish I did. But the few clips I saw this morning where pretty good. That link should take you to the clip of the show opening and then there are other clips there to view as well. I also liked the rap part of weekend update, not sure if it was funnier with Palin not doing the rap or if her doing it would have been better. Yes the clips are nice but not as good as if you saw everything in order and all of weekend update together.

Now as a way to test out the new upload feature I'm going to post tattoo Pictures that I have saved on my computer.
















































































Oh yeah I forgot that if any of you look at my myspace page I also put two of the SNL videos up as bulletins only one of them worked in my blog there for some reason. Well here are some more Tattoo pictures they look like they came out really good and they automaticly have space between them.















































































So hope the pictures from on line looks nice. Hope the Bills win today and everyone has a good weekend.

Well I was going to post about something else but once I saw this story it looks like EliteXC is no more and going out of Business. I wonder if Gina Carano will find some place else to fight. I like to see women fight, plus when they are hot it is an added bonus here is the story.

Elite XC down for the count
By Dave Meltzer, Yahoo! Sports

Elite XC, which produced seven of the 10 most-watched MMA matches in U.S. history on two CBS specials in recent months, will be closing its doors at the end of the week. This leaves a roster of fighters, including top draws Kimbo Slice and Gina Carano, looking for work in a constricted environment.

Elite XC joins the International Fight League and Bodog Fight as high-profile competitors to the industry leader, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, to fold during the past year.

With deals with CBS and Showtime, the latter a major shareholder, Elite XC had the exposure the other failed challengers lacked, but lost more than $55 million in its two years of operation. Its losses included having a bad television deal in the first year with Showtime, causing them to lose money on every show; losing millions on trying, and failing, to build a website that was designed to be a destination for the MMA community; and purchasing four promotions outright and putting money into a fifth.

One of them, the U.K.-based Cage Rage promotion, set them back $18 million in losses.

"I got a call earlier [Monday] telling me they were shutting down," said Frank Shamrock, who was a television commentator, a main event fighter and a shareholder in the promotion.

Elite XC's two biggest attractions, Slice and Carano, are unlikely to be moving to the sport's highest-profile group. UFC president Dana White has repeatedly said he won't use Slice, who made his reputation as a backyard streetfighter on YouTube videos but is not the caliber of even a mid-level MMA pro. White also has said he's not interested in promoting women's fighting, although Carano's success as a draw may cause him to reconsider. Her match with Kelly Kobold two weeks ago ended up adding more new viewers than any MMA match on television in the U.S.



Several agents for fighters have been in contact all day with the UFC. Some, like welterweight champion Jake Shields, would be welcomed into the promotion.

It had been widely known that due to the losses, and the inability to raise new capital, that the Elite XC would either be sold to Showtime or be forced to fold by the end of the year. Others within the company said bankruptcy papers would be filed.

Kelly Kahl, the CBS senior executive vice president of programming operations who oversaw the three Elite XC events on the station, declined to comment on the situation.

It is not known if CBS will start its own MMA company or strike a deal with one of the two companies left standing, the UFC or Affliction. Affliction was a sponsor and co-promoter of the Oct. 4 show, paying for the Andrei Arlovski-Roy Nelson match. The other active match promotion, Strikeforce, has a late night television deal with NBC, which has had preliminary talks with the company about doing live events.

The Elite XC sale was believed to be close to completion heading into the Oct. 4 show on CBS. The show was a ratings success, beating both Major League Baseball playoff games and both major college football games in the target male 18-49 demographic, but left the brand tainted due to a controversy stemming from the main event.

CBS funded the event because Elite XC didn't have the money to continue while negotiations for the sale continued.

Ken Shamrock, scheduled as the opponent of Slice, got into a money argument with Elite XC officials before the show, and then, to blow off steam, did a training session in which he suffered a cut above his eye that required stitches. When he returned from the hospital, the Florida State Boxing Commission wouldn't allow him to fight.

Seth Petruzelli, a journeyman fighter in a light heavyweight preliminary match, was chosen as the fill-in opponent for the 236-pound Slice, and the scenario couldn't have gone worse, as Slice charged in, Petruzelli threw a jab on one leg and still knocked Slice down, and finished him with punches on the ground in 14 seconds.

While CBS officials were thrilled with the ratings, a controversy over a radio interview done by Petruzelli looks to have foiled the purchase.

"The promoters kind of hinted to me and they gave me the money to stand and trade with him," Petruzelli said two days after the fight on "The Monsters in Orlando" radio show. "They didn't want me to take him down.

"Let's just put it that way. It was worth my while to try and stand up and punch with him."

The next day Petruzelli said that what he meant was that he was offered a bonus for a knockout. Jeremy Lappen the head of operations for Elite XC confirmed Petruzelli got a knockout bonus, believed to be between $20,000 and $30,000 to go along with his $35,000 guarantee and $15,000 win bonus, but not a submission bonus.

A media outcry followed, with accusations a company official tried to manipulate the fight in favor of Slice, even though it backfired, leading to an investigation by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulations. The question was whether Petruzelli was offered a bonus to not take Slice down, which would be illegal, as opposed to a knockout bonus, which is legal and not uncommon.

With the investigation started, Showtime pulled out of negotiations and people inside the company were being told all day that Elite XC was shutting down.

Keith Kizer, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, said Monday that he had not received word that the next show, scheduled for Nov. 8, in Reno, Nev., had been canceled.

But the website Graciefighter.com, which represents Cesar Gracie, the manager of Nick Diaz, who was scheduled to fight next month, wrote Monday night, "We are confirming that Elite XC has folded. What this means for our fans and supporters is that there will not be a Nick Diaz vs. Eddie Alvarez fight on Nov. 8."

Oh Yeah and I keep forgetting to post this one post I thought of about gay sterotypes it would be comedy about why you could consider me gay or not gay but I need time to think about it again when it is posted remember it is comedy and don't get mad ok.

First of all I need to go watch the 2nd football game.

Second of all Today's Bills game has enforced a feeling I've had before that the NFL needs a Rule change. NO WHITES!!!!! I don't mean players I mean shoes and shoe tape. There was a play where San Diago jumped off the goal line and knocked the ball back and downed it like at the 1 yard line. On the replay to me it looked like he stepped on the goal line, it is hard to tell though. You can see where the white line is and where the white shoe/sneaker is but there is a point where they meet that all you see is white. This isn't the first time I have seen this happen where you can't tell if the shoe hit the line. If you changed it so no shoes could have any white in them and all tape on shoes couldn't be white I think it would make the videos more clear.

Two things I found Ironic about today's game
1) There was a power failure ok more then one and the chargers where one of the teams
2) CBS and Time Warner are still in the middle of there huge battle, but yet on one of the stadium shots you saw a huge Time Warner sign on the inside of the stadium

So I'm watching the game and then they lose power and CBS goes to the Steelers Game. That was cool seeing some of that. But here is where things get odd. They update us the Buffalo scored. Wait how could they score with no power. So I turn on the radio and the game is on. The radio guys are broadcasting using cell phones how awesome is that listening as I watch the Bengals losing. My first thought was if the power stays off all game I can't wait to see what the news says about the game. Now once the power came back on they showed a field goal that happened with out power. Wait if there was no power how did the Cameras work. So later they lose power again so back to the Radio this time I thought I heard the Radio guys say they where using a princess phone that was a land line, how crazy. It was a crazy day of football but the Bills won a great game. One added thing I liked was that Greg Gumble (the dude who has a brother who does news) was calling the game. I have allways liked him, back from when he and Albert called Basketball games, they made a great combo back then. My point is now that the Bills have a good record maybe we will get people who aren't only locals or the lower ranked announce crews. That being said I know the Bills have a long way to go. Yes 1st in the AFC EAST but the teams below them coming into today where 1-1 in the divission and we haven't played any one in ours yet so once we get into those and see how we stack up then we shall see how good we really are. Go Bills!!!!!!!!!


Sorry I forgot this story I found on Yahoo kinda different about the NFL and Barrack

Could Mike Ditka have derailed Barack Obama's ascendancy?

By Chris Chase

Barack Obama's easy win in the 2004 Illinois Senate race catapulted him to national fame and set him on his current path toward the White House. It was a convincing victory that is now but a footnote in the career of the Democratic presidential nominee. But that victory wasn't as assured as it appears in retrospect. For a few days in the summer of '04 there was the very real possibility that the Republican opponent in Obama's first major election battle race would be Chicago Bears coaching legend Mike Ditka.

Jack Ryan had won the Republican primary that year, but dropped out of the race after the release of embarrassing papers from his high-profile divorce with actress Jeri Ryan. The vacancy left GOP leaders in the state scrambling to find a replacement. With fears that the election was all but lost, Republicans wanted a major name to turn the tide. Ditka was that name.

For days the press played up the "will he or won't he" stories about Ditka's possible candidacy. The Drudge Report even said that Ditka would declare his entry into the race. But, in the end, Ditka rebuffed the offer, saying he didn't want to go through the rigors of a campaign or give up his lucrative jobs as an NFL analyst at ESPN or as an endorser of a casino and car dealership.

There's no way to know whether Ditka would have won but, remember, Obama was still a virtual unknown in Illinois in June of '04. Had Ditka run and won, Obama most-assuredly wouldn't be running for president today. Either way, the Hall of Famer almost certainly would have received more than the 27% of votes that eventual nominee Alan Keyes garnered in November. And you know he'd have locked up the endorsements of these three potential voters.

I'm not sure how I feel about it but check out the link. It is kinda a well what would have happened if, so I don't give it a lot of credit but it is something to think about. Ok off to watch football.
