I admit I don't ask for advice on here very often. The Previous post remind me of something. I know there are a few (e:peeps) like (e:Chico) and (e:Vincent) who know how to dress pretty nice. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice of a place to get a nice suit? If it is in the city it would be a big help. I wonder is there any place like around elmwood, well I know of one place but don't know if they are any good. I don't know what I'm really looking for. I don't want to look like a business guy. I love some of those Gangster style suits but would it look right on me and would it really work for a wedding. Then you have the other kinda more Casual looking suits you see in like Asian Gangster movies. But then again I don't want it to look like a costume and as much as I like the bright suits with the matching color shoes I don't want to look like a pimp either. It might also help if I knew how much money I was willing to spend. Any advice or any pointers would be a plus.

AC/DCCategory: music
So October looks like it is going to be busy. For some of you, there was a post you may have read about how it was a weird summer and there where things I was looking forward to. Well after that post I found out about AC/DC coming. It is one of those where I think every ticket costs the same type deal. The reason I'm going is that I have never seen them before, and I have no idea when I would get to see them again. I have a pretty good seat. The two odd things is that is a Sunday Show and that the tickets for the seat I got you have to get at Will Call so that might get interesting. I have to get merch and I wonder if they make shirts for 1 year old girls I hope so. Hopefully I'll Have a new Camera by then and they are allowed.

Well You can still watch it on Youtube. AC/DC is Here at the HSBC Arena on Sunday Oct. 18. If anyone buys tickets you are best to buy them at the Arena and save money on the internet fees or if you can't make there at say tops. The ticket price is $89.50 But then on the Chart it says $92.

Less then a weekCategory: nfl
Yes there is still a Month to go, but Football Starts in Less then a week. The Bills Play in the Hall Of Fame Game. It is the first time I remember them playing in it, does anyone know if this is their first one. I still Have to look up the times and see when the game and Inductions are. I'm going to a Bachelor Party on that Saturday so I hope there is no conflict. I also have to ad that I have all ways been a Madden Fan. I don't care that he Hates the bills and Loves Farve. He doesn't really hate the bills but when he did only NFC games he Never saw them. Bret was a great QB and has had great Perseverance playing in Greenbay is what football is about to some. Besides How bad can Madden be he is a former Raider. That is another reason I liked him. Plus his football games are pretty good. What I can say for sure is him leaving broadcasting will shake up who calls what and we shall see how things wind up. I know lots of people can't get into Preseason Games but the one Next week is one to get into. Well at least until Everyone gets pulled. Well maybe since it is The Hall Of Fame Game maybe they keep all the starters in since it is a special game?

Stressed lately I'm not really sure why but been stressed out lately. I think some of it is that there will be some work changes and I kinda wish we would get to them and then I learn and try to figure things out. But then there is that other being alone factor. Do I like being alone yes, well kinda yes. It just seems that recently people have had kids, getting married and going to get married. Am I happy for them yes. but it also seems like life is passing me by or something. Then there is facebook. Yes I like facebook but it is weird to see people from high school with kids and stuff. I'm not saying I want Kids. Then it is also true that it seems like a lot of people I went to school with have interesting or meaning full jobs , own a club, parents own shops and that kind of thing. I don't know oh yeah then there are camera issues and now I need a new one. Then like thursday I was all pumped to watch X games and passed out on it. Argh not really sure what I need. Well maybe I a Suicide Girl or Kat Von D to have drug ridding sex with. Yeah that might work, I don't know. Maybe I need to blare some heavy music of some kind. I don't know really what is going on. Well maybe some of this writing helped we shall see got some more picture stuff to do.

(e:Lauren) That is a really good comment. Kids for me right now, no way I have enough trouble taking care of myself.
(e:Tinypliny) that is a great point also.
I just wanted to add that I don't know if everything is stress alone. Some of it is like a heavyness feeling that I have no idea how to explain. Then there is that kinda down feeling. But not like I don't want to do anything or maybe it is some kind of emotional tiredness I don't know how to explain it.
I feel better right now but I wasn't do so good at price rite. I went to get food and I'm looking at these frozen pizza bite things and am thinking that I need to get these so I'll have something for lunch and then start to remember how getting them just right in the microwave is tough. But I can't spend money on going out to lunch everyday, ARGGGG. But Got home and watched some X games and felt better.
Not sure what I'm going through really but I'm guessing after this weekend I'll be stressed again. I think part of it has to do the fact that I was kinda crushing on someone or how ever you say that but then those feelings what ever they are went away (well mostly they are gone).
It also doesn't help (had a good time) that I went to a weeding reception for someone who is having a kid and there where all kinds of couples there.
It also doesn't help that I'm fucked up. I do need to mention that there is a weeding that I'm really looking forward to going to and I wish those two people all the best, and I don't think that factors into how stressed or what ever I've been going through lately . Then next weekend I'm going to a bachelor Party for a weeding I'm not invited to and that should be fun (don't think I can stay for all of).
Did I mention I don't know what to do about my camera. Maybe I'll make up my mind this weekend. I'm hoping the stressed out ness doesn't come back but I'm guessing the being down or what ever it is will, but let hope not.

Don't worry. I think the alone stress is a lot more manageable that having relationship stress - which is worse because you are constantly afraid of treading on people's toes etc. If you are out today shout out a hi and I will holler back! :D

More Garden WalkCategory: photos
I'm having some issue with posting the pictures to webshots if these aren't enough for anyone I'll mention when I do have them posted there. Well here are some more of the garden walk.
Well that should be plenty for now. With all these multiple sites I thought I should mention one thing. With Facebook I started at the end of the photo album and picked randomly where here I started at the beginning so there shouldn't be any of the same pictures.

Thanks for posting these, (e:metalpeter)!

My dad is the suit connoisseur. Lately he has been going up to Smokin' Joe's. The men's department salepersons are really great and very accomodating. I know it is not nearby like Elmwood, but I really would recommend it. There is tailor on the premises and she works with the clients and you will have a great suit that will make you look like a million and you only have to spend a couple hundred (depending on your taste and style). They have great prices! I even looked for a picture of my dad from this year's events, but could not find one that would give you the full view of the suit, they were more candid shots with family. Hope that helps! Is this for the wedding?
Thanks for the advice I have seen ads for M Wyle that might be the best place to start not sure really but at least with the advice I have a starting point.
I usually would buy a suit @ Joseph A Banks. But you want to find a place that will work with you and kind of has something within a budget. Syms is a good place if you can weed through the stuff you don't want, but if you're looking for someplace local I would suggest M Wyle on Elmwood by the Regal and if you can get out there the Riverside Men's Shop no long in Riverside although it was on Niagara St back years ago but now it's on Sheridan Dr.
First of all thanks for the Advice. It would help if I knew what I wanted really. I do have some dress clothes I could wear but I'm thinking a suit might be nice and then I could wear it for other things as well. I may have an old suit some where with pieces all over the place but not sure if that even fits. Again if anyone else has any advice or ideas let me know.
All my formal dresses are back home. :/ I am somewhat worried. I mean I could definitely even defend wearing stressed out jeans but a wedding... hmmm.
Get Dressed on Elmwood near Lexington has good suits at decent prices
For a good, proper business suit, I'm guessing Syms at Sheridan & Transit is the best option by quality/price, prolly $200. It sounds like that's not what you're looking for...
For something stylish, cool or funky, which I think you can totally get away with at a wedding if you feel comfortable in it, there's a shop on Allen at Pearl by that kinda nasty corner store. They had really sweet linen Cuban pants & shirt sets recently in light blue, white or black with same-color embroidery. That kind of dressy, but not quite a suit, outfit can be a lot cheaper ($50-$100 with accessories) and might be reusable in a way that a suit might not be.
Good luck!
