Maybe the intensity of that corner or that I'm a bit tired factored in I should really take a bit of a nap... In any event here are a ton of photos from the Parade......

It was worth it to a get a little bit wet
I tried to just watch the March and just snap away with my water camera hope they look good....
It was also bigger then I remembered .....

Happy Pride and stuff.... So Pride Buffalo has all ready started some event at Cobblestone tonight and they had the 5Gay Run or something last night... To me Pride isn't about being gay although yes that is the entire reason for it... But to me it is about not being judged for whom you are.... At the very least to be treated the same......
Dammit what ever happens I'm going to have fun somehow... I have been having some issues lately argh... I don't know how much I would really say on here... But let me tell you waking up and feeling depressed about ones life isn't fun.... I've been trying to get my place in shape before the bed bugs... I think they are all gone... But just cause I haven't been bit and I haven't seen them doesn't mean that... But taking a chance and going out or at least I plan to Niechtez see some strip teasers and bands and take photos... Hope to not miss the dyke march like my stupid ass did last year ..... Yes I still have a lot of work to do on my place so it can be sprayed assuming my land lord was telling the truth argh.. Just want to nap...... There is a part of me that just wants to toss everything out.... Minus Pictures and Art on walls, and tapes.....
Rain might be going on both days so gotta go see what is up with my water camera .... But the plan is to hopefully go to Elmwood and North someone I know is having a Protest the Protester thing not sure if it will be like 2 people or 70.. I can't be yelling and screaming but would be a good perspective for photos again who knows what will happen... I don't see my self going to the pride things that are like in allentown and the marina ....
Also it is the Greek Festival I never go to that.... Enjoy those that do... Also that games thing for the vets is going on as well.... So enjoy everyone ......

Yeah I wonder about that and the mega phones... I know that some people in the past have used the cardboard egg cartons in rooms to make them sound rooms but don't know as that would work or any way to harness it... Yeah kids don't need to hear that... That is right you where one of those Angels for that flight that crashed that had to be tough....

I hear you on the balance thing. Really tough for me, too.
Now I know who you were talking about! The counter protesters who were organized were awesome. Loved their presence. I think it makes a difference. From the perspective of being in the parade it is really awful to encounter them. I really tried as much as I could to shield children from their hateful messages. I don't think I ever want to do any more counter protesting but I'd encourage other people to do it and to find better ways of drowning out their megaphones. I wonder if there is something you could hold in front of it that redirects it back at them?

The Person I know knew my Sis through Walgreens... He had a Facebook event Protest the protesters and I didn't know he would be providing signs... The other people seemed to have a louder mega phone though ..... Yeah that was great what you guys did it really was... In terms of posting pictures they go up quick but video maybe from a phone it is different but it takes so long on Youtube....
The thing with the bugs is part of something I've all ways had trouble with it seems and that is getting the good balance ... Once I get home from work it is tough to do much...so many times I go oh when I get home I'll do this and then it doesn't happen......I know I have to do better and I'm also not sure totally how the place would need to be so they can spray... Like how far away from walls and that kind of thing.. Hoping to get to a point where I can ask land lord hey come look at this soon we shall see.......
Glad you liked the pictures and video it was great to see you and everyone else as well...

That's crazy! You went out to North Street because you know someone who was going to protest the protesters and then it turned out to be us who did it. I'm pretty sure that wasn't on any of our minds that day, just sort of something that unfolded. Anyways, I should get my stuff up, the little that I got.
Sorry to hear you are still having a hard time. I'm pretty sure I'd have a complete break down if I had to deal with what you have been. I wish you all the best in getting everything in shape to have it sprayed. Glad you aren't getting bitten anymore but you should definitely have a professional verify that they are gone just to be on the safe side.
Thanks for posting all the pictures and videos, enjoyed looking at them as usual. Good to see you.

2013 MemorialSundayCategory: holiday
So On sunday went down to Canalside area for a little walk, photos and food so wasn't planning on taking any video but I guess I'll start with those first ....
Not so great at doing the Vlog but ok......
Then it was up to what ever that thing is called... To take some Buffalo shots.....
Then The birds again don't know if it was the same ones or not guessing so....
Now to be honest I'm not sure if that clothing truck was selling stuff I'm sure they where but I didn't check it out .....
So One of the things about a blog is you have no idea if anyone reads it or not... That being said if anyone is at this point I guess it is time to admit something... Yesterday I was fine with this being my memorial day.. The old days of cookouts I guess are over.. Besides I still don't know if all the bugs are gone.. They could just be waiting till it gets cold... In any event I picked the Hatch.. Didn't know if Liberty Hound is a Baseball hat kinda place... Gotta try and keep the sun of my face... But Today is depressing... I think being single and kinda naturally a loner although I do like people was fine until I joined twitter.. That is really a social place wow... So my body feels like I should be with others sitting on a couch or maybe I just miss my friends mother and grandmother ..... But I still did get enjoyment with some shows just wish there would have been a great war movie on .....Back to if anyone is still reading The service at the hatch seemed a little bit off... But not sure how long they have been open give them a chance ........
I took a walk down by the water.. So those photos are up next but couldn't figure out how to Light house or what ever the out harbor is once I got over the Bridge but some stuff past General Mills was closed and wasn't sure where left would take me.......
A few downtown shots But first I want to say took some pictures of some cool Urban art and club diablo I don't have all the details but is in the middle of a change......
So If you made it through all of that congrats .... Two Things there are no pictures on the ships cause I didn't feel comfortable going on them it was all kids and parents didn't want to be the creepy guy with camera.. It kinda felt like it might be weird ... Also at The Hatch they have a thing on the door warning people to watch their food or was it keep an eye on it because of the birds... Not sure how the birds are there but I remember they use to be Vicious at Teds I've seen them steal them once with people right at the table (my sis I think) Hope everyone had a great holiday... Oh it feels so good to not me at work... Almost enough to quit.. Sometimes I do feel like just quiting and turning off the power and putting everything at the curb well except Art on walls pictures and electronics .... Enjoy
