Jeff Dunham 1st Christmas specialCategory: holidays
Info and Video on Jeff Dunham on Comedy Central
So Last Night the Christmas Season got started again. I watched my first Christmas special of the Year. It was Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special, I laughed my ass off but not as much as the people there when it was filmed. I didn't know his material before hand. He uses puppets. Each one has there own personality. There is the Blown up Terrorist who is a skeleton. Then there is a Chili pepper guy. Then there is this old dude, he was maybe the funniest to me. And then there is a redneck. I'm sorry I don't remember all the puppets names but I thought they all where pretty funny.
Sort of what I saw on the special but not exactly the same:
It isn't exactly how it aired from youtube but from the comedy central site there is video also. I may get the DVD but we shall see. I know this Sunday someone else has a comedy special I want to say it is Might be John Stewart I'm not sure though.

It is Christmas Season I declareCategory: holidays
I say it is the Christmas Season. I know some might say it isn't even thanksgiving yet what the fuck are you talking about, why are you rushing things. Well that is a good point. But here is why it is the Christmas season.
1) Walgreen's and other places have Christmas Villages in their Ads
2) I ordered my Ticket for TSO (how many years are we going to have to wait for them to finish Castles , it has been at least 2 years for that CD, last year they where supposed to be almost finished)
3) Home Depot has Adds for all there Christmas stuff
5) I saw an ad for the first Christmas Special it was a comedy special on Comedy Central
#4 is the most important one. So get ready to go see all your wacky comedy movies about the holiday. That being said 4 Christmases looks like it might be very good.
For me the season doesn't start till the last football game on thanksgiving ends. I will not be waking up at 5am to go shopping anywhere.

Bond SAbresCategory: photos
So Yesterday I went to see Quantum Of Solace. I don't know how to explain what I liked about it, with out giving anything away. Even if I compared it to other Bond Movies I would kinda be giving stuff away. I thought it was good, If you like that kind of movie then You will like it.
This morning I watched Henry Rollins from South Africa on IFC. It was about an Hour long. Some of it was him touring South Africa and some of it was of his Stage act. I wonder if there is a way to see more of it, or stuff they didn't show in the Hour I kinda doubt it. From what I heard IFC every Friday this month Is showing a different Henry Rollins documentary. I'm not sure what the 1st one was that I missed. I did enjoy it, it was pretty interesting and I'm hoping the other ones are also.
I will admit I'm not a sports writer, so if that is what you are looking for read the paper. I didn't see or read any news on last nights sabres game so I don't know their point of view. But from my view above the Zamboni enterance I thought the Sabres played great and played a lot better then the Blue Jackets. However when your back up goalie gets burnt it doesn't matter. The Blue Jackets where shooting at 50%, it was 2 shots 1 goal, 4 shots 2 goals, 6 shots 3 goals. On the other hand the Sabres where taking all kinds of shots and had some close ones at my end there was a great skate save by Leclaire , He looked pretty good in net to me. The Sabres did put Miller in but it was to late and then later the put our back up back in. It was still a fun game to go to and I had a good time.
Here are some Random Pictures from the Game:

Anti Prop 8 ProtestCategory: philosophy
That is the website on the Bottom of the sign that I saw today on Elmwood. I'm not sure how easy it will be to read so I'm posting the original photo I took and the one that I cropped.
I will admit that I don't have any details really and am not associated with this I'm just re-posting the sign here. I'm not saying to go or not to go, I may or I may not.
I admit that one of my problems is that to ways that I try to live my life and think are kinda in conflict here. I personally think that there is nothing wrong with being gay or bisexual. I also do think that it is natural and nothing is wrong with it. But even if I did my general view on things is as long as what you are doing doesn't hurt anyone else then you legally should be allowed to do it. If you want to get high and have some girl shit on your chest that is fine. Hey if you go to a park and find some College girls who like to watch you Jerk off and point and laugh as you spew all over a tree then clean it up, as long as you are all consenting adults and no one else sees it fine, it doesn't hurt any one. Hey if you want to smoke in your own house all day as long as no one else has to breath in the smoke who cares.
But even with that I do have a conflict. I do believe that everyone should be created equal and that is part of what being an American Should be all about. I think that everyone should have the same rights and there for gays should be able to get Married. I think that is a basic right and that even if people oppose it, it should still be legal. But here is where the conflict comes in. This country is supposed to be a Democrocy (a hate being a bad speller) and I think that when something is voted on if it is the will of the people then it should count. But see people in Different States Voted Yes on Prop 8 so right now those two things that I believe in, are in conflict. I admit I'm not sure how to resolve this. I do think that the right to be married is stronger. But see that is because I morally find it fine. If it was something I thought was wrong then how would I resolve this. The problem is lets say a court like the supreme court decides that Prop 8 is unconsitional I think it should if that case ever came up, then it is saying that the vote doesn't count and didn't mean anything and what about the fact that the Majority is supposed to rule in this country?
I do think that maybe Prop 8 should have been decided in the courts as opposed to in a vote, but that didn't happen so it can't be changed now but I do think that in future states it should be done by the courts. I also think that the wording of Prop 8 bad. I think one of the problems is that they have the Prop up and not a Summery Version. I think if they wrote "Yes means it passes and Gay Marriage will now be illegal, No means the Prop that bans gay marriage won't be Passed" and everyone would have understood what they where voting for. I'm not saying that Gay Marriage would still be legal but at least it would be a fair vote and we would have a clear answer.
I myself do think Prop 8 is wrong and shouldn't be passed under that name or any name in any state. I'm saying that "Spirit of All Men created equal" is stronger then the vote and so Prop 8 needs to be repealed and never passed again. I will admit though it isn't that cut and dry. That being said I'm sure there are a lot of people and currently it looks like the Majority of this country that see this point just the opposite. For that I have no answer.

Baby MayaCategory: photos
So first of all thanks to all the (e:peeps) that commented on the journal previous to the previous one. I admit that since this is my blog that I don't really like to post about other people or put up pictures of people who are not members that being said I have a few pictures of my new Niece who I saw for the 1st time yesterday.
Well it looks like the pictures of Maya showed up, she is really small. With being sick I wasn't going to hold her. How small she is , is kinda scary. I'm not saying that she any smaller then any other new born it is just they are so small at that age.

(e:Tinypliny) wow what a crazy and funny story it really is, in terms of the name I'm not sure how my sis and her boyfriend came up with that name I'm not sure if that meaning had something to do with it or not.
(e:Gardenmama) In Terms of Holding her I have held my sister when she was about that size maybe smaller not sure but that was a long time ago, not sure If I would remember how, HA. That was over 20 years ago more like 23 with the quick math. That hair is kinda crazy not sure if you can tell but in one picture her hair was spiked up by her father.
In some ways it is all kinda scary, I wish I could explain it better but I don't know how really. It is one of those you would have to be part of the family to get it. I can say this I don't know as I have seen my sis smile that much before.

Maya - what an awesome name! I always wanted to be Maya - the goddess of divine magic, spirits and illusion.
She looks so wise in that first photo!

Hehe.. she is adorable. :)
I was born more than a month prematurely at around 7.7 months or so. My parents told me that I was around 3 pounds (or maybe less), was as big as a big rat and was incredibly hairy. It seems I was put in an incubator because I also had neonatal jaundice and one night when the nurse came to check in on the babies, she saw me and thought a rat had got into the incubator. Of course after all the screaming and drama they realized that I was the ugly hairy tiny baby. I think they apologized to my mum who was really upset about all this. I still think this was a hoot. Apparently my dad had a big laugh. LOL

Thanks for sharing - she's beautiful - and has a lot of hair for a newborn - wow. They are kind of floppy when they're first born - it can be a little intimidating but it's not so bad after you hold them a few times and get the hang of it.

Couple things I forgot to Mention about the Movies. I saw 3 previews that looked like the movies might be pretty good. A new superhero movie based on a Graphic novel called The Watchers looks really good. Then Paul Walker and Vin and Back together finally in the New Fast And The Furious movie, they hinted at in the last one but I didn't think they would get Paul Walker back, should be awesome. The Preview I saw for Star Trek looks amazing. Lets see Kirk as a kid and some flying cop. Kirk and Spock fighting. Great special Effects. To me it looks like it could be really good.
Henry Rollins, I went to IFC.com to get some info and this Friday the documentary is about him going to New Orleans , I think that could be pretty good.
