Sports and Bandits and Hating that I like them
Category: sports
So I like many guys like sports..... But it is hard to be a fan .... I never watch hockey not only cause the Sabres are bad but wrestling is on like 4 nights a week and there are other shows I like so to watch a hockey game means one is not watching that other show ..... now onto the Bandits ....

I have Season Tickets and they made it to the playoffs they beat the New England Black wolves in two games ..... Last Saturday they lost at home the first game of NLL Championship game .... They play tonight out west (can't spell where they play ha ) at 9pm if they win there is a home game for the tittle next Saturday if they lose the #Rush are the champions .... But the problem is that I miss The Stripteasers tonight ..... I have not seen Burlesque in so long .......

Sometimes I really wish I didn't like sports .... As Much fun as it is to tweet and watch Football on Sundays there is this but I could be doing something else but in the winter no way would I be .......

Bandits Open Practice
Category: photos
So Before I post some Pictures from the Bandits Opener going to write a few things down ..... With what happened to me and with them wearing a bandanna Bandits could be tough glad it didn't bother me ... Also this is the Bandits 25th year or season not sure how they count that XXV .... So that is a big number means I'm old .... Since it feels like yesterday not sure if It was the first year I went to the championship game or if it started second aka Back To Back Tittles ...... And wound up getting season tickets back then at the Aud one could sit down in the gold seats with those gold yellowish seats ok Lower gold for close to the same price as the Orange Seats aka 300 way up where one thinks if they slip they will fall over rail to their death ... Ok maybe a couple bucks more but really close .... I can admit was a season ticket holder with dad and there where a lot of good memories at HSBC Arena .... Think after he got sick and he got better stopped going I can't remember when but stopped for some time then at some point I went back went to each game sat in different seats it was weird but got back into and got season tickets ...... So some good and bad times but the Bad Times didn't sneak in ... Back when I first started watching them I would also get PPV events so the weekends it was hard to work cause The Store wanted me there when I wanted off .... I was a temp at where I work now so ..... The thing that broke the camels back was something that went down on the way home at night we where all ok but that was to much ...... IN terms of the games some great teams some bad met some cool people at the games .... some teams should have won championships that didn't .... Yeah sure this is very run on and makes not a lot of sense it was going to be like 2 lines , HA , In my mind ....................................

The Open Practice is free The Sabres have had them as well but have not made it to a sabres one in years ... One Year the Bandits had an open scrimmage meaning fans can come to it vs. A closed one .... They also had an autograph thing that I found out about to late ....

That's cool that they let you watch them practice. Is it free? My siblings used to go down and watch the Sabres, back when they were good.

The Night Before + Holiday Venting sort of
On Saturday I went to see "The Night Before " There where things I really liked in it and did enjoy the ride it was funny ... I don't know if you would call it a Friends Comedy or Stoner Movie .... Was it as funny as some of them to me no but it was still fun .....I went to the regal elmwood and i did like the Angus Burger but they changed the fries to those crisp things ... The last time I had the burger I made the mistake of eating the French Fries first they where so good and salty I could not taste the burger :) HA I liked the old fries better then the thing that looks like a tick tack to board ...... Not really saying the stuff I liked cause that would give stuff away ...

It is not the only Christmas Movie out all ready .... Is it to soon I don't think so ... I know thanksgiving is Thursday .... But for me I had all ready had my Work Thanksgiving and the food was great and tasty.....

Here comes the Vent: Sorry: Often at work I feel like I'm the only adult there : So the other day This new worker we have walks up to radio says nothing and turns on Christmas Music ..... So it stays on for like a song 2 at most another person says nothing to anyone just changes channel back .... So the first "Child" Goes "I don't care I'll do it on break right in front of him " walks over and turns off the Radio .... The Immaturity level there is shocking sometimes it really ..... I get some people like me like it and some people don't ....... The Holiday season is tough for a lot of people but there is a certain way to Handle it ......

I do not know what I'm doing for the Holiday it kinda changes year to year could just be Football ..... Could be movie could be going to sis's place oh yeah the Parade on TV :) ......

....... That is why people working at say Target or Wal-Mart doesn't bother me no one says people working at restaurants or movie theaters is wrong .... What about the athletes who play on Holidays and all the TV people not to mention everyone who works at those stadiums or direct traffic before or after ...... I assume all these people have Thanksgiving on a different day.... I have even heard of workers having a Thanksgiving dinner with each other ..... Not everyone has family not everyone has money to go home often people want to work the Holiday and get the Holiday pay .... That is even more so with part time jobs ....

I'm sure I have said this stuff before .... But I do find it amazing how much shopping is going on at this time .... There are now pre Black Friday sales .... Thanks Giving , Black Friday .... The American Express sponsored Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday .... I get it though there was a time when I can't count the amount of gifts I would buy (again pre (e:strip) days ) back when my sis was young and dad was alive .... I admit that was a lot of fun order NFL shirts for his teams and get my self stuff .......

But there is a bit of a silly wish I have had for the past few years: Since Black Friday has been advertised as such .... Best Buy I don't know if there " Win the Holidays " is legit or if they are Tongue & Cheek : I would like to see a movement where Come in and save this much tied into giving to a Charity .... Save all that money at Target buy a few toys for Toys For Tots .... yes best buy at one time they still might have Tech for teens I think.... I get you can't be aggressive with it ... Cause the aim is to make the most money possible and you don't want to drive people away.... And yes I don't give like how I want to my self .... I could have walked into Verizon and bought the cheapest phone they had and taken the money saved and bought toys and turkeys So I get why it is hard to do ........

I get that people with family get upset when people leave to go get a Huge TV or cheap laptop .... But maybe that is just the excuse to take off ....

Do I have a point.... Not really just kinda wish people where more understanding about the holiday and not so Militant about how evil working on thanksgiving is .... I have noticed people don't talk about how it is bad to work on Christmas or New Years eve.... Like that club or ball drop you went to guess what all kinds of people are working there and not really enjoying it .... That is one of the things you buy into with certain jobs ......

I should also Mention the people serving in the Military and may not even know when it is a holiday when it is one .....

Tonight is the Survivor Series it is a wrestling event and years ago it was on Thanksgiving day or night .... There will be some part of it that has to do with Thanksgiving not sure how much .... Also in past years Sunday Night Football has had a Thanksgiving theme not sure if it will tonight or not .......

Feels kinda good to vent .... Sometimes I wonder what it is like to travel for the Holiday I have never done that like to go see the parade then do Christmas stuff like ice skating at Rock-a-fella square (That spelling didn't red bar interesting) .... Oh and also some people may not like the holiday and don't celebrate it .... What ever version of the holiday one does I hope it is enjoyable and not stressful or sad ...........
