Construction Sheas Rock Of Ages
Category: photos
So to be clear I don't think it was worth the money to give the company tax breaks so we can tear down a building that is working to put up a new building when what was the HSBC tower that is on both sides of the street over the Metro rail tracks is like almost empty .... But I took Photos of the wreckage and photos at sheas for Rock Of Ages ..... It was fun and funny ....... Oh a Night time photos .....

I first heard of Rock Of Ages when it was in Toronto I think but I couldn't go not sure if I needed ID or not back then... Saw them perform on one of those early day shows Today maybe and they where great and last time I missed it but not this time.... I did see the movie though based off of the musical and it is different cause it is a movie but in the movie they had a few Def Leopard songs and here it was one post show and not having the rights to started the show and it was great.... Also in the movie they had the songs by one band sang by different bands .... The Musical was different then it but really good and funny... Lost my train of thought in there hope people like the pictures ....

Nice pictures. I especially appreciated the constructions photos. I am still in disbelief that they actually took that historic building down. I remember when Chippewa Street was a crap hole, and that building was one of the few nice things about that area. Kind of sad for now, but I am really hoping the new building makes it all worth it. I just wish they could have gone to one of the already vacant lots for the new one. Guess we'll have to wait and see, and hope for the best since it's too late to change what has already been done.

Baseball and Spring ? +
So I meant to write this blog last night... But .... I was tired and "The Rain" often puts me in a mood not depressed , Not Down, Sleepy maybe glad I was inside and when I woke up I had to do some shoveling Yeah I know it is Buffalo and sometimes it snows on Easter and this year it isn't the first time I'm sure but it falls on 420 ... Just wish spring would get here .... Although the Rain would make it spring just not the it freezing and sticking to ground part..... I just want it to be nice on Thursday and rain stay away.....

Granted on Tuesday I get to work to home to the shower change thing then off to Rock Of Ages it will be fun but my Energy will be low (Still so much food I can't eat and soft food moves to fast to eat before a Musical )

Thursday Is Buffalo Bisons Opening Day ... I can admit I never go to as many games as I want to .... I'm Not a Hot Dog and Beer guy... Not even sure what I'll be able to eat Cotton Candy for sure :) but other then that... But having a day off for that is a tradition ... I just don't want it to rain I'd like to see the entire game and not get wet ... I can also admit as great as Baseball looks on HDTV (Better then in Person) [Yes the grass is greener and you don't lose sight of the ball somehow ] It is boring on TV I just can't get into it..... But something about opening day and starting anew .... I guess the Major Leagues had some push to make Opening Day a Holiday ... The Petition got a lot of signatures.... But to me it is silly cause the home opener is different for different teams (Cause if everyone had it on the same day no one would have anyone to play ) Now they could set it up so it was only two days but still..... I'm not even sure when it is....

That being said I don't think I've ever been to Major league opening day ... I'm sure I haven't ... I'm hoping to make it to Niagara Falls once it gets warm and if that works hope to make it to Toronto and it would be nice to take in a game up there.... There are other things as well I bet they have a huge Pride Parade... Hockey Hall of Fame... Maybe even some "Night Life" "Walk on the wilde Side" hey who am I kidding I don't have money like that.... I miss Toronto, Canada, and Blue Jays games, and yes they are now the Bisons Major league team.... We shall see what happens but hope spring is here soon and that besides the rain it shows up Thursday.... But if it is like most opening days it will be very cold .............

Dentist Soon
Category: life
So I never really post about what I'm going to do... But little scared , little stressed, little nervous .... Sedation Dentist today .... Pulling teeth .... Part of what lead to this is my long day or seems long to me every day.... and me in a way being old school hard to explain here really ... But part of it is that we have all worked with people who where great at there job and people who aren't and the second part scares me a bit... Even great workers make mistakes and there is a part of me that is scared it could be me...... I'm sure that it will be fine ... But also the not knowing and the wondering about what the drugs will do ??? Well we shall see I guess ....

Good luck. I hate dentists. Hopefully it goes better than my experience.
metalpeter - 03/25/14 13:36
I remember stuff before sure seems like a lot of blood in mouth but think that is normal... I'm scared of needles I hope they got them all teeth that is ... Pain is starting to kick in a bit ....... we shall see ......
joe - 03/25/14 12:06
Good luck, hope all goes well.

I had sedation for getting my wisdom teeth removed. It was pretty amazing because I didn't feel or remember anything until I was home an hour later. By the time the numbness wore off I was able to take a painkiller to keep the pain down. You do go pretty insane for a bit though.

Motorama 2014 Friday
Category: photos
So even though I can't drive I've all ways loved cars since a kid... But I think I only have 2 car posters but do have a few collectible ones .... This isn't an import nights event I think to see one of those you have to go to Toronto and there are other car shows around here I think Quaker Stake and Lube and there are lots of other ones locally .... The Motorama is all weekend and I think today they have star wars characters today...... It is tough to know how many photos are to many and how many isn't enough so I'll try and hope people like them .......

There where People protesting I think it was about school cuts downtown ....

ST. Pats Day Parade
Category: photos
So part of me thinks that Buffalo needs to do like other cities and but barricades along all of Delaware ..... Now granted maybe I don't get it .... I go to the parade and stand in front of Walgreens (Would have loved to have found The Cheesy Chick but with the meds for my tooth problem food movies through me to fast to take the chance sometimes ) and I'm right by the driveway lots of space no one around and once parade starts people who could see fine step right out in front of me I wanted to either grab guy by shoulder and pull him in or step right out in front of him and a bunch of people did it as well .... Now there was one open spot but if I would have moved I would have made others not able to see.... but things changed over time so here are some shots of the parade ..... I would have loved to drink but
1. It was freezing and as it was fingers went painfully numb by the end
2. Antibiotics and drinking don't mix
