Hey straight guys, thanks for the show
Category: clothes
Seriously, straight dudes. I can't believe sagging pants are all the rage again. It seems like the gayest thing in the world but I see guys I would otherwise think are not gay doing it.

I am not complaining, I just don't understand who the intended audience of your ass is. I assume you aren't thinking me, but at the same time your butt is hanging out right in front of my face. Do girls get turned on by this? To me it seems like the gay equivalent of a girl with her boobs flopping out of her blouse. But if you are a guy into girls, what do you think they are getting out of that. Do anyone women like this?

I imagine it has to be uncomfortable to wear, especially when the pants hang so low that you have trouble peddling your low rider bike because the crotch part of the pants is binding your knees together.

The other thing I don't get is how your ass is not sweaty. Maybe I am just a hairy italian guy but seriously, there you are riding your bike in pretty much nothing but boxers on a really hot day. Doesn't your butt get sweaty and that would be embarrassing. Maybe all the air prevents it, lol.

This picture comes from the wikipedia article It makes the whole phenomena seems like a black thing stemming from prison culture where belts are forbidden.

I would argue like just about everyone other trend, it seems like white guys have joined the bandwagon full force, at least in buffalo yet I could not find nearly as many pics of it online. Maybe it really is a buffalo only white thing. I am going to try and get some to prove it.

Apparently, someone in NYC someone has started a campaign to stop people from "sagging" on the bus.

Ok that 1st picture is just silly the pants are like past his junk in the front.. There is a little sag and if it sags right you can't tell cause the shirt covers it. There are some who have no belt and sag. Then there are those that have the belt and don't have it tight enough on purpose or by accident. Tiny sag is ok and comfy assuming you don't have to keep adjusting. Culturaly I think it comes from when people where poor they wore big jeans so that they would last longer on given them from an older brother, or that is what I heard one person say. But it is like any style pinning your jeans , or tight to show of the junk. I kinda miss the tight jeans untill you get wood and can't walk cause it blocks your leg.......

Faster and harder
Category: work
My second 12-14 hour work day in a row. Trying to get some stuff done quick but not as fast as my running time. Tonight I made it home in 2:47 seconds moving time. I ran so fast I almost felt like I was going to suffocate at the end.

For fun I added these two pics of twin cars. Randomly, they were both by the house at the same time.

Running Home at Midnight
Category: work
I hate it when I work real late and run home because I am afraid of muggings.

If you take the shortcut through the salvation army parking lot, it might shave a few seconds off your run. It takes me 7 mins from my door to the door of my office at a fast walk.

Laptop and some books.
fing - 08/24/10 10:09
Is that with your laptop on your back?
paul - 08/24/10 00:28
Wow it took me less than 4 minutes. My goal is to get it down to 2.

North St Construction
Category: buffalo
Its going to look so good when its done and had regular corners. (e:matthew) said the corners were rounded when main street was closed due to the dubway construction and Linwood became a major thoroughfare out if the city. I guess that is also why it is one way. I hope they switch that back too.

I am not sure I really understand where all of it is really going and I really hope they finish before the snow hits.

Location services for your blog
Category: location
Now you can upload kml files, which are files that track data on a map. Say the path of a walk, hike, run, drive, etc. A bunch of coordinates, etc.

Anyone can upload kml now using any of the normal estrip publishers but the estrip android app has a special tie in with google My Tracks app. You can get instructions here You will need the 1.14+ version of the estrip app to do this.

Here I took a small run down linwood to test it and see how long it would take me. You can see I got lazy but the end and shortcutted.
