6th anniversary of the blackoutFor some reason I found out about that fact today. All I can remember is that it was also the same day that I realized that I had to end my marriage. For some odd reason my door/trunk key broke off in my trunk lock and I had to get it fixed, for some reason the locksmith on this little strip of Military Rd in the Falls across from the now fashion outlets had power and fixed it. But in driving back home to Canada at the time I it just dawned at me as I was waiting to cross the bridge that the whole entire relationship was a farce and just pain "Fucked."
It was a beautiful day out today and I guess the hotness of it kind of brought back those emotions associated with it on having the lights go out on many levels at the same times doesn't hurt in bringing things back.
Other than that I just roamed Buffalo while most people were working and it felt great. From watching the young actors reherse in Delaware park to running into (e:tinypliny) it was a great day and walking around for about 4 hours felt pretty good.
As Summer seems like it decided to show up I was also going through some summer songs on Youtube that were big 10 years ago for some strange reason.
As I remember drinking in LA around that time coming back from Vegas.
They were from Canada and started out as a Punk band.
Greg Alexander & Stephie from "All in the Family" totally sold their musical careers short. Just because he got all freaked out about pissing off 4 celebrities he just shut down or at least that's my take on it.
Then I didn't realize the New Radicals reunited and made this Obama song under the name The Not So Silent Majority. Seriously I wonder what would have happened it they did get their minds straight and kept on making records?

I haven't walked around Elmwood for that long in a long time. Well I did the thing where a walked it and took pictures and then walked around the Marina and that was fun. Sometimes with Elmwood I'm not Cool Enough and I'm not that other kinda Not cool that is cool, it is tough to explain. Glad you had a good time.
I can't imagine what it is like to see that it was 6 years ago to just know that the Marriage had to end. I really can't imagine that. I can't even imagine being married. But then again I also don't remember that black out either. But I'm sure if I lived where you did I would remember it well.
On another note today should be a great time.

It was a lot of fun walking up the strip with you! :) Were you able to contact (e:metalpeter)? Are we going to the fair tomorrow? We could stop and have that awesome ice cream on the way back. :)
Those are some really old videos! I remember one of the songs was somewhat back home because they lifted that tune and made a bollywoood version in Hindi! I can't remember the name (or the movie) of that song!

Boring SaturdayMy day just pretty much had me laying around all day, heading over to Canada to hang out at the OTB with my one friend, then heading over to the Casino to watch the UFC PPV. All I'm thinking is I can only do so much of this before it is going to drive me nuts, FUCK I NEED A GIRLFRIEND & I'm not going to find her @ an OTB or Casino.
Other than that I"m just shocked that people are afraid of a Swedish Supermodel I don't know if it's my bias since I a secret love of industrial and synth pop music which pretty much comes from and thrives in Germanic countries, but I think she's beautiful and the song is the same as well. Ok I'm really biased as I went home with someone from the Continental who actually gave me a look like she does in the end of the video.

Not Sure if you mean you took someone home who you knew from the continental last night who looked like her or if you mean from when it was open. Well I hope UFC was fun. I wonder if there is anyplace else where they show it that maybe some women go to. In terms of the Swedish Supermodel not sure what is going on there I'm guessing it is a cultural thing that to us makes no sense but would over there. Kinda like how in America you can kill millions of people die in a movie and no one gets made, but one hard dick and you get an NC-17 unless it is done in comic way. In our country violence is ok but sex is bad, and nudity is bad. So maybe there is something over there that freaks people out in that video for cultural reasons.

beer summitCategory: not politics
The beer summit is today and on Fox Business Channel they were talking about how in the choices of the three participants, there was not one American Beer as the beverage of choice.
So we have InBev for Obama (Belgium/Brazil), MolsonCoors for Crowley (Canada) and Diagio for Gates (United Kingdom) What happened to having all of the stimulus money being directed to be spent buying products from domestic companies? ;-)
Then again their only choices would be PBR, Genny and Sam Adams if they were to stay with USA owned companies if you think about it on a macro scale.
It will be Bud Light for Obama, Blue Moon for Crowley and Red Stripe for Gates, the White House says.

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Rolling Rock, they sold out to Bud at the time. The whole thing with them was sad as they moved the production from Latrobe to New Jersey. Needless to say I never had it again ever since.

I still can't believe Bud sold it self out like that. I still think of them as an American Beer, because it is and it is made here. Someone with a sense of Humor should have Had Busch that would have been funny. I think Yuengling was bought by Anheiser Busch A few years back and that is why they got the big push all over the country, but not sure if that is true.

Sam Adams Light would have been a respectable choice for the President, if he wanted to stick with light beer. PBR would've rocked though.

Yuengling, if you go for a macrobrew. But I would have a micro on hand from each of the 50 states if I were president.

There was a politician from Mass complaining that they should be drinking Sam Adams since its the largest American owned brewery. The founder of Sam Adams said he would brew a special beer for the event if they picked his beer. Which I thought was pretty cool.

I'll have an Aviator Red Please. (although my usual is a Yuengling :), don't tell me "America's oldest Brewery" is owned by some overseas Schmucks too..

MER Class Action LawsuitCategory: finance
My piece of the Wall Street Fallout.
I owned a few shared of Merrill Lynch back in '07. I was kind of naive and bought it on the "advice" of Eric Bolling who at the time was on CNBC's Fast Money show. Needless to say I bought it at 96.89 and was stopped out at 89.26 Needless to say I wish I was short back in Jan of '07 specifically at that price with my life savings at the time as I would be living in my house all paid for in cash. Yea, hindsight is always 20/20 right?
Well at least someone on (e:strip) is going to get a piece of the "Bailout" money ;-) Or in my case I'm going to get back a portion of my tax dollars to "save the too big's to fail!"
