Weekend?
Category: summer
So one thing about having a could is you never know how good or bad it really is. Sometimes the nose runs and sometimes it doesn't, sometimes you have the headache and sometimes you don't. I'm hoping I feel fine for Sat. and Sunday that is right it is Taste of Buffalo time. Who knows I may even check out the Entertainment. Some things I think you can do sick, but the Taste I think the crowds drive you insane. PLus if the sickness effects how things taste do you really want to spend money on food. Well still good people watching and picture taking there is allways interesting stuff going on and give aways and stuff........

I may go out Sat. night if I feel up to it. The Stripteasers are performing at Roxy's. The Only thing is well ok two things. I know this sounds weird to some. I feel like I might not be welcome or not wanted there. I will admit I have never been there, but understand that it is a gay bar. Now maybe that term is wrong. I don't know it is just a feeling I get. The other thing is Main. I'm not saying Main is bad but there are some sketchy people around there and I don't know as I want to deal with that or take that chance.

Sunday night this band I like As Summer Dies is playing at club Paradise. As much as I would love to go, I don't know where that is or how I would even get there or get home so I think that is out. However I have been watching TNA recently and they are having a PPV so I think I'll go with that, just gotta find time to get a video tape so I can record it.

I doubt I will go out friday need to keep my strength up. Plus it will be the last day of a long 4 day work week. Hope everyone has a great weekend and who knows maybe I'll see you peeps out and about and maybe I'll even snap a picture of you or something.........

I wound up going and it was a great time. I would go back again. To see "The Stripteasers" it would kinda have to be a special thing since I have to wake up early of fridays for work. Maybe since it is a house the size is deceiving but from the outside the place looks huge but then inside it is kinda small, well they had some like exit door that was past the pool table that was closed and I didn't really go see what was over there, it was a good time

Hey Peter, I would say that you should totally go to Roxy's. Felly and I have been there many times, and there are many men, who may or may not be gay, I can't tell :) You wouldn't stick out or anything, so I wouldn't worry about that. Although I would say there is definitely more lesbians there than anything else, it is pretty mixed. Also, as far as that part of main street, I don't think it's that bad at all. We go down there for Roxy's as well as the breakdancing event and have never had a problem. There are usually at least a few people on the street, either getting pizza or just hanging out, and I prefer that to it being empty. Also, you are only about 2 blocks from Allen, so once you get past Main, you are good to go.
metalpeter - 07/10/10 18:59
The Taste of buffalo was good, but some people need to learn how to walk an not just stop and not walk slow on purpose with two stollers next to each other and no one infront of them.

Zombie walk was pretty good, I ran into I can never remember (e:libertad)'s cute blonde friend. Hoping to get pictures up on sunday or monday.

There will be no stripteasers pictures, no cameras allowed at this one, assuming I can make it out of my house........
metalpeter - 07/08/10 19:43
Thanks for the good wishes about being sick. It is weird like right now I feel fine, but today I would sneeze and yesterday was a mess. It is tough to know how I really am. Last night I took meds but they didn't seem to do much but I feel better now, kinda.....

In Terms of Roxy's then maybe I will go. I remember one day walking around that part of Main down a bit by Hyatt's and some dude not sure if he was trying to sell me pills to pay for pills he wanted to get. Often times I feel people behind me but this dude came out of nowhare it was creepy then he took off. But Now that you mention at Night With lots of people out it might be better then during the day.
libertad - 07/08/10 17:54
Hope you are feeling better soon! I think you would be more than welcome at Roxy's. I believe it is mostly lesbian but you will find gay and straights too. Also, I think that part of Main street is relatively safe because it is close to Allen and there are so many people out and about. Just be alert and avoid walking near anyone particularly groups. That girl got stabbed in the eye in front of Roxy's but I don't know that it was an isolated incident. I think it was ruled that it wasn't a hate crime though.

That my time, hope you enjoyed them, I did!
metalpeter - 07/06/10 19:48
(e:ladycroft) :glad you enjoyed them, I was hoping to have time to maybe put up some more from where I left off but I don't think that is going to happen.

(e:Paul) I don't know how that lay out of the land is over that way or how close you wound up being other then breathing in the smoke. Glad you had a good time
ladycroft - 07/06/10 08:23
I did enjoy it, since we certainly don't have any over here!
paul - 07/05/10 21:08
This year we went to the other side by those grain mills. It was insane being that close. We ended up in the smoke cloud but it was worth it.

Eclipse Air Bender cakes
Category: movies
So far my Saturday has been Pretty good, hoping the fights are good tonight. My goal was to see 2 movies and I did not sure how it worked out but it did and I walked "The Strip" for a bit.

I thought The Last Air Bender was pretty good. I have never seen the cartoon, those that have know it is called Avatar (not to be confused with that other movie). Since I haven't seen it I don't know where it lines up story wise. I liked it, my say is that if you like that kind of movie you will like it.

So Twilight Eclipse. I liked it and thought it was good. That being said I still would have liked more action and a little less love story. To me the twilight movies are heavy on the love story. Yes all great Vampire movies do have some love story or romance hidden in there somewhere but it often is the main thrust. I still thought it was pretty good though and liked the action scenes.

On the way home I ate at two places 1st zillycakes . I had no idea what to get so I went with the red cupcake and built from there it was pretty good, I will go back there again and try others.

I admit I often forget about Louie's on Elmwood I stopped there and got a good 1/2 burger. After I ordered I decided I should have gotten a shake the Elvis one sounded really good and so did the black Raspberry one I should have got loaded fries but I didn't feel like spending that much, i still enjoyed what I had, I now have a reason to go back there again.....

wish #7 Neat Freak (UFC)
Category: wishes
So Last night I did get UFC and Had a good time watching the fights. I can admit I don't watch it that much, hey there are many things I like and so it is tough to get a good balance. But you know what would have been cool (ok just part of it would be to see who shows up) to do one of those internet party invites thing. It would also be fun to do those for wrestling as well. I used to have people over for PPVs in the past, but that seems like such a long time ago. Yes sometimes they do get a little bit crazy and then you have to watch the replay to understand everything that went down, that is more on the wrestling ones really. But my place isn't fit for me let alone a group of people.

That isn't the only reason why a Part of me wishes I was a neat freak. (IF anyone is reading this) I need to explain that a clean freak and a neat freak are not the same thing, in some people they can be. A clean freak needs everything to sparkle and shine and be germ free. That can be kinda scary and lead to being scared of germs. What I mean by a neat freak is that every thing is organized in some form and there isn't any clutter and important papers are hidden away and when you walk into the place it looks un lived in. Of course I assume that along with that would be a very nice and big pretty TV in a holder and all the DVD's and CD's and movies would be easy access but not all over the place, sounds like a great way to live. Tables with drink holders and great couches or what ever. Why do I picture wood floors when I have a carpet in all my rooms.

Yes having a bunch of people over for food and drink and a great time would be one benefit but it wouldn't be the only one. I think a general sense of relaxation would be one of them, when I wasn't stressing about the neatness. But If I was a neat freak it would be 2nd nature and I wouldn't think about it. I think it would make budgeting better. If you are that organized you won't go oops that bill is late again. I think it could also lead to more planning of stuff out side of the house I'm not sure.

The thing that I wonder about is if I could function. Say people are over and they say put something where it doesn't belong would I freak. "You have to fill that glass up or wash it you can't wait till this fight ends", ha. See because the empty glass just sitting out of place might drive me insane. I wonder if I would be able to bring someone home from a bar or if it would be the same problem as with glass. "could you fold those and put those on that holder, yeah on the floor doesn't work", ha.

I think that if someone could come up with a way to train people to be different then what they are (I know they used to training kinda like that years ago but that was more like a manors thing) and then they had to let you go back, they could make a lot of money. But I think it would also be a great service. This kinda Happens on a show I haven't seen in some time called Wife Swap. It would happen because the families who trade wives/husbands would all ways be so different. So it is a way to see how a family who runs the home and how they raise their kids different works out for them. Hopefully each family can learn from the other and take aspects that they like, that they just can't do themselves.

When ever I write these I all ways feel as though I've left stuff out or could have said more but am never sure of what I should have said differently. It isn't like I write an out line. After all this is a blog not a paper for school, thinking back I never did an out line back then, maybe if I did I would be a neat freak. I'm not saying that I want to be one but it would or might be nice to be that way. I wonder.......................
