Now some might say that liking Glee makes you Queer. Or I've even heard the term of fag for people who love Broadway musicals but it was used in a good way not a bad way. Sometimes Glee is so great.

Now they deal with the issues of being different, being picked on and Homosexuality on the show.. One of the most recent ones is there is this football player who picks on the one openly gay kid and not in the nice way. So he stands up to the guy finally and the end the hater kisses him. Yeah that was on last weeks show. But there was a tie in about if he tells anyone that he will kill him and at one point he winks at him also....

What I don't think the show is going to talk about is the fact that Homosexuality is often something people can't admit to for many reasons. But one of them is because you lose who you are and what you love. See even if this character new he was gay (and not repressing it) and loved the fact that he was. He could never come out cause the day that he did, bye bye football. Anyone (say a dad) who had football dreams for him would be hurt as well. Why would football be over for him (not that I ever played in school)? It makes a non sexual thing sexual. Tackles in the mind become grouping. Lets not even get into the locker room and showers and all the awkwardness. Now some might say this is silly why should people stay hidden because of haters. It isn't really about haters though but it is some. This is the same reason why male teams don't want women on the team and if they do some how make it, get a different changing room.....

But that takes me onto a different issue. Women and reporters and camera men in locker rooms. Sorry it shouldn't be allowed. The Locker room is a place for the team. Where people change and get ready and no Cameras or women should be there. What there Should be though is A media room that players and coaches can go into and get treatments if they want to and do interviews....

How many girls would change if they thought a boy was watching through a peep hole. Well that is what it would be like if someone came out when they played football. Yes some people wouldn't care but some would not want that person looking at there stuff. Also how about when the o line holds hands or are neck to neck in the huddle or snap towels now all that all boys stuff boys being boys loses what it is because of the assumption of everyone being straight.....

There really is no way of changing this.... But what really causes this is in our society Gender roles are so strong. Boys do this and girls do that.....

There was this prowrestler I liked Named Chris Cannon . He was kinda a mid level wrestler. AFter WWE bought WCW he kinda went no where. Some Time he came out publicly and not sure how high he would have climbed but it sure derailed any chance he had... It is to bad. As Many Wrestlers he died at a young age. I'm sure it is because he came out and it killed his chances. Look at how wrestlers dress and the close body contact how could that work knowing someone is gay......

This is tragic that this is how things are but that is how things are. It is a real issue and no NFL player has ever come out during their playing time. In Wrestling yes there have been charcters that hint at it, but that is just a charcter a way to mess with the other persons mind but to really be gay is different.......

My Point is that often times because of how Society Is (not just certain people) there are reasons people can't come out or admit to what they really are because it would destroy there lives and it isn't only from hate.... This is a real issue that I don't have the answers to.....

So I got to see My 1st Sabres Game of the year the ticket was from work. Those 200 level tickets sure are nice... Plus the Sabres won on a great goal. They changed how the Arena looks a bit. Not sure how viewable the stuff is behind the glass but here are the start of the pictures from Sat....



























































I wasn't able to get pictures of everything with people eating in front of stuff. I would have also liked to have been there right at 5 so I had time to read everything but I had my Niece's Birthday Party to attend and that was a good time.... Hoping more photos from warm ups the grier thing and the game....

I have to admit that those 200 level seats are nice. Plus between the periods things get so packed in the food area and bar, that I'm glad I ate before the game. But that being said you have to get the person's attention but they will bring food to your seat, I maybe should try that if I ever get that type of seat for a sabres game again. Well here are more photos from that game......



























Oh Yeah Game ON!!!!







































This Outfit coming up was odd even for a sports event for some reason it reminds me a bit of A Christmas Story....











Ok Back to the game shots maybe I should have put those 1st?

































Vanek Scored an Amazing Goal in Overtime to win the game. On the way home I saw that Cereal at Wilson and Had to Buy it, it is my Favorite Sabres Player Ryan Miller

So Yesterday I went to see skyline. It is an alien movie maybe call it a monster movie not sure. I thought it was pretty cool. If I say what I both liked and kinda didn't like at the same time It would give away way to much of the movie but I had fun watching it.....

HBO showed this Documentary that I watched today (aired on veterans day) Called Wartorn . It is about (PTSD) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. They had old war footage and interviews and stories of current vets and people serving. Was it interesting yes! Was it disturbing Yes! It was very good though.

It Makes sense though that if you have never killed anyone that doing so could mess you up at some point. It also makes sense that once you are trained (and do it) to kill and fight in a war that it would be hard to turn that off at home. People are creatures of habits and habits are pattern forming.

As a Small example of this there was a wrestler Bill Goldberg. He was talking about getting into Character (He was one of those go out and destroy his opponent type of guy and had some huge winning streak being a beast). He said that he could turn that guy on in about 5 minutes but then when he was done it took him hours to get out of character..... That is just getting pumped up and putting on a show and being someone else not being trained to kill the enemy and defend your self and your fellow solders... Hey some people are fine and do readjust to life normally but this movie wasn't about them. I think it is a must see it is good to get shaken up a bit and get a bit disturbed by things some times......

So I decided not to go to Youtube and post songs about war there are a few good ones that might work. I just wanted to Wish all the Veterans a Happy Holiday and get into what the day means to me.

I Work at a company so it isn't a day off like it is for some. There have been many wars and I think these two current ones are a waste and that a lot of people are dying for no reason, that being said others hold the opposite feeling but that isn't what Veterans day is about. Yes at some point those troops that live will be Veterans. Memorial Day is when we remember Solders that died. But for me on or around that day I like to go look at the memorials and big ships and remember that not only did US Soldiers or what ever term you want to use die, but so did the enemy and that is very important to remember but that isn't this holiday. To me Veterans day is about all the people who served in the Armed Forces and are still around. I think that we due owe them gratitude. People join (or where drafted) into the Military for all kinds of different reasons. No matter what those are when your time is finally up and you are done then the Military/Government needs to treat you like how you are supposed to be treated. It is sad how often this isn't the case. It should be a crime if you aren't taken care of properly..... But hey that is just my view.

Happy Veterans day........
