Not Having A Car:
Don't get me wrong I am happy not driving... There is to much to deal with on the road. Not to Mention Gas... Insurance.... And fixing the thing up.....
What I think a car is best for really is Hauling stuff.... If I got one that would be the reason... For example I could go to Target and buy all kinds of shelving stuff well not tons but a few.... Then over to Tops and get the food.... Then stop over and Run into zillycakes......
The Other use is kinda a sub use to Hauling and that is storage. Say you go to The Fair or Music Is Art or Allentown or what ever and you buy Art Or maybe a huge Blue Sand Castle or what ever with a car you can just go out and put the stuff in and not have to carry it as you watch the pig races or eat that fried cheese cake or what ever...
What got me thinking about this Is I'm going to an Art Show On Friday I think well more then an art show it is at Club Diablo.... What I'm debating is Yes to Pictures and Drinks and looking at art but do I really want to Buy art...... Sean Madden is amazing (Thanks to (e:Heidi) who told me about 464 Gallery and I think Marcus Wise is a member of (e:strip) but he Never posts.... Think I have seen a Picture of (e:Terry) wearing one of his shirts it is a gun and liquor bottle I think). According to the Weather it might be raining on Saturday and do I want to take a chance and get it wet... Also if I buy something do I want to chance spilling Drink on it..... I assume stuff will be being sold....
I know most people would say what is good about a car is the freedom of being able to go places.... Yes there are places that a bus can't take you but you kinda learn to deal with that... Good example is Darian Lake as nice as all the shows are do I really want to sit trying to get out of a lot for an hour... Yes When I went to Metallica, Days of the New and Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains) it was an hour...... After some time you learn places you go and places you don't.... Say I did have a car I wouldn't have the money to go to those shows anyways....
So The Point is a car as a way to get somewhere even though that is the reason for them but they help the most with I think is hauling stuff..... I got interrupted So I lost some of my point argh oh well.....

St. Patrick's Day ParadeCategory: photos
So Before I get to the pictures a few thing to mention......
If you are a hot chick but aren't in the Parade get the Fuck out of the street you aren't the parade we ain't here to see it you are blocking the view ..... This applies to everyone else walking the route I'm trying to see the parade thank you! At least the girls we get to see something good so it isn't as bad......
When I got there it was insane Allen was so backed up I had to walk back about 30 feet and cut across a lawn to get to Delaware...
I debated trying to get into that store by Arby's for a drink but the weather was weird it felt both warm and then cold and didn't want anything cold when I was feeling cold... So no drinks for me...
That was a good thing cause I don't know if Ass Hole or due-sh Bags is a better term show up from out of nowhere and stand in front of people me who are there on the curb like way out in the street.... Maybe they should do like I have heard NYC does and Baracade the entire street and not just Allen .......... The one Lady was nice and would go up take her picture and go back .... Now I didn't want to go up and block people who where at the level I was at.... Finally I did go up though and stopped shotting through people...
If you read my stuff and follow my stuff on Facebook you may notice that pictures go up on Facebook 1st. The Reason for that is With Windows live Picture thing once you download them you can click a button and it brings up the pictures you downloaded and you select how ever many pictures you want (facebook albums have a 200 picture limit I understand) and hit share and it transfers them for you.... So it is a tech issue Not an I love Facebook thing.....
Here are the pictures.....................
Just Had to add I had a lot of fun and maybe drinking would have been the way to go.... What would have been amazing is to go downtown and then after that go to the Sabres game... I also think some time it would be cool to be where ever the reviewing stand is (would have to be packed) so you see all the marching and dancing and bands play....... Hope everyone who went had a great time!

Yeah that was Kinda Freaky....
The Oddest thing at first though was that Snaple Was there but then if you notice the bottles said Green Tea.....
@(e:libertad) Yeah I wasn't sure who was going or where they were going to be or anything and didn't see anything about a meet up or anything..... I also thought My Sis might go and Want Help with Maya the Niece and that never became anything either...... So Just went solo.... The Odd thing is most years I have seen even if it was just in the parade someone I know even if at a distance... But not this year... But then again One of those years was post Parade at a Bar....
Just have to add one thing about the crowds some of the people where pretty nice.... but these two people I felt like walking into the middle of the Street and standing right in front of them and if they say anything go "Whats Wrong that is what You just did to Me".....
I'm guessing that if I would have crossed over to get in what may have been a line to get into the store I have seen some People I know but not sure... The Temp though wasn't warm enough though for me to drink ...........
Hope everyone had a great time and hope some other (e:Peeps) post some pictures as well....... Or maybe someone took some Video?

Nice pictures. You saw a lot more than I could see. I thought you didn't go to the parade this year, too bad we didn't see you.

Happy St. Patrick's dayCategory: holiday
So I wanted to Have a Picture of some naked chick and some naked dude or maybe even a hot pretty girl with a models face perfect boobs and Hung like a porn star you know stuff for the boys and girls but every cool image I saw through the Image search seemed to not fit they where like from websites that weren't like picture sites so I said Screw it..... Of course the shamrocks would be placed in just the right spots so you can see what everything is with out it being explicit ........
Now today feels like St. Patrick's Day!
One Classic Saint Patrick's day thing is Shamrock Shakes... Now I can admit that some Years they have been kinda medicine like and other years they where great... This year I have gotten two of them from McDonald's and I find them Tasty.... Now that being said they used to just kinda be a mint Shake.... But they have left the shake area and are Part of the McCafe' line.... I think that might be why they taste so good.....
I'm not going out since I don't like Beer... I'll watch Spring Wipeout and TNA wrestling.... I won't have Cabbage or Corned Beef since they both are gross.... Even if I did I have to work in the morning.... I have seen on Facebook that Joose might have some St. Pat's stuff but maybe it is just a flavor in a green can... So of that stuff is great and some of it is gross... Then some of it on the first sip you taste the flavor Yum then the 2nd sip is Malt liquor gross and that is how the entire can goes.... But for those going out have a (Black and Tan) Guinness and harp or what ever an Irish Car Bomb is for me.... Back to the food Shepperd's Pie would be pretty good though.......
SLIGHT EDIT OR ADD on I found Two Classic Pictures that are Big Time St. Patrick's day one of these I have a picture of on my wall and the other I find it amazing that they can turn the water Green.... That must be cool to see in Person..........

Those shots of the city hall are magnificent! That building looks SO grand from Niagara square and from the roundabout with the obelisk.

That Is a good one (e:tinypliny) But then I would have to push the cart all over the festival and don't think it would fly out side a bar.... That being said I may be going to the sabres game that night and think I may look into Sean's Website it is something like clownvomit.net or something like that.......
You could always get a cart like mine to haul art. :)
