TV SportsCategory: television
I have to say that even in this "down" week of sports on TV due to the quiet media week for the Super Bowl & the NHL All-Star break I have to say there is plenty to keep me occupied. First off I never realized how much I would actually get sucked into the Winter X-Games. (e:metalpeter) is on to something on that one, although I can go to the next time over and see a bunch of crazy necks drive around on their snowmobiles, it does take it to another level. My favorites have been the ski races. There is just only so much half-pipe tricks that I can take with snowboarders and other mid air flip stuff.
Now since I have been kind of hiding since Friday night due to me taking a spill when I went out to see a band it lead me to just stay home and watch late night sports on TV. So yea I just didn't want to deal with the outside world so I stayed home and enjoyed myself on the couch. The other event was the Australian Open, which is always a good time. Unless that is if you got caught in the middle of that Bosnian/Serb fight last week...

One thing I like about the Winter X games and the same thing is kinda true of the ones they have during the summer is the fact that there are different sports. I like the flips and the tricks in the air but don't know enough about them to know what ones are tougher I just know when something looks cool to me. The racing events are pretty cool and I think will be part of the next winter Olympics. Sunday Night After Hockey and the X-games I watched some WEC. The thing with any fighting sport is you never really know how good a fight will be. It might look good on paper and not even last a round or end in a weird way or it could be two people who you have never heard of and it is a great fight. I like the all star stuff that I saw, I didn't see all of it but I did see all of both games and it was cool to see a shoot out. Not sure what my favorite sports moment of the weekend was. There was also basketball and as you mentioned tennis on. I can only watch Tennis if there is some hot lady playing.

My takeCategory: love & relationships
I've been meaning to respond to (e:jason) 's post 
But I think this is going to be a little longer and/or more personal so at some level I would like to have it easily accessible to me so I could read it at some point for my own personal use.
Yea I hear you with being an isolated outsider. I had my one married w/kid friend's wife attempt to set me up with anyone she worked with just so we could "go out as 2 couples." For a while I was seeing their co-worker, but I broke it off for my own reasons after I realized that she may have been trying to really emulate their relationship, if you know what I mean.
At times I delude myself into thinking that I should have stayed married. This comes from the cold hard fact that my living situation and just how I am personality wise in this dating pool of WNY just dooms me to being alone. Yea I have realized that I could just play the game and "find someone" to put up with my bullshit, but in the end I just realize that I would just be using them as a prop for other people to appear that I'm doing the "family" thing or even worse just a warm body for sex. Plus when I deal with people who have money problems I realize what a "cinder block around your neck" it can be if you're with or even married to someone that brings the trouble with the business of living problems to your life. Then I realize how being alone isn't so bad after all.
Would I love to be with someone that I am attracted to and can love? Of course I would as it is one of our basic needs of being human. It's just that for the most part I have just thrown in the towel, or at least for as long as I live in WNY. With a decade of dealing with the demographics and having my chances diminish with every year I get older, I just have had it with doing things via "going through the motions of the mating dance." Heck with Feb 14th coming around I even am planning on getting out of Dodge that weekend. Seriously I don't even want to be around here when love is in the air. For me I would rather be lonely loser somewhere else where no one knows me ;-)

Well on V-day I'll luckily be at the Bandits game so that is good. Not sure if I will do anything after that. I wish there was some awesome type of kinda Horror movie other then that one Called Valentine or what ever that I could watch. Where ever you are on that day I hope you have a good time. I can't really speak on the dating scene. What I will say is that I think there are a lot of great Ladies in Buffalo. But just because some one is great or there are aspects you like about them doesn't mean dating them would work. For example lets say I meet someone who liked The Sabres, that would be great but that alone wouldn't be enough, and going to a game as a Date would be very costly very quickly. I do agree with you that there is a part of everyone who wants to be with someone and to be happy. I also agree that it is better to be alone and happy then with someone who isn't good for you. That being said some people have to be with someone and put up with a lot of bad shit that destroys them because it is still less painful then being alone or they love that person or they think they do.

Celebrity CrushesCategory: media
Yea, since it was snowing for the most part I just spent the majority of the weekend at home. So other than making a mess of the house cooking I watched quite a bit of TV. There are two women that I came across that just sucked me right in from the first moment I was flipping through the channels. The totally weird unexpected part of this whole experience is that these women are actually my age & not the latest 23 year old flavor of the month hottie from Hollywood.
1. Rhonda Mitra
I just can't stop watching Doomsday as it has been on heavy rotation on skinaMAX. A part of you thinks that it is ridiculous shot'em up fiery action film, but the movie gives you enough other niblets that you just go along for the ride. But back to her, yea, a ripped athletic looking chick or at least when she filmed this right before she shot Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. All I can say is WOW, it has been quite a long time since I was sucked in by some actress.
2. Chelsea Handler
I never saw her show Chelsea Lately until this weekend. She's pretty darn funny to say the least. Yea she's kind of a sexy Joan Rivers but can't help not to laugh when she's talking trash about other celebs. I'll defiantly be DVRing it during the week.

Pretty interesting video and he does make some pretty good points.

I gave up on the "Evil" and conspiracy stuff. But I do think their is corruption. I think it's all over politics, local, federal, everywhere. And in both parties. We need to get the money out of politics. I know it's a freedom thing, giving your own money away for whatever reason. But it encourages secrecy, and hurts our democracy.
