"Look for them to proclaim that they are readying an overhaul of the global financial system to avoid the next crisis. Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, recently was kind enough to say that “even the English” recognize the need for reform."

"5) The issue most dear to many participants, but not to us civilians, is the future global financial architecture. Should the G-20 become a permanent steering committee for the global economy"

Really? It's not dear to the civilians who will have to live under this new world order? And of course it's dear to the participants, they're the ones concocting and carrying out this plan.

Subject: : Remarks from CBS Sunday Morning (everyone should read!)
I only hope we find God again before it is too late!!

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning this past weekend

Commentary by Ben Stein:
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees.. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu .... If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'
In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on
your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they
will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in.

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

One at a time. Hrm not sure what else to say... I'd normally rant or blab a bunch of personal crap but I've gotten over that a few years ago. Doesn't do any good anyways. I try and give my problems up to God.
Huh, so, wrestling show this saturday. Danny Doring vs. Stevie Richards in (West Henrietta) Rochester, NY. Happy birthday to JP too. Almost got my Christmas shopping done too. I've also been getting into couponing, too. You can save a LOT of money that way too. Too.

Take Care & God Bless.

This is my first attempt at a time lapse video using actual photos. However I used a cross dissolve transition and a slow fps because they would just wiz by.

I've been pretty busy lately with work and taking care of Sarah (surgery). We plan on visiting a college on the east side of PA in Sept. Should be a fun trip and hopefully a promissing future, career-wise.

I guess I'm done for now.

]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/13439536/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/13439536/ Thu, 21 Jun 2007 22:34:21 PDT We left the beach and decided to get on the thruway and head towards Ohio, then it turned into, let's go to Cleveland. So we took the extra 115 mile trip to Cleveland, drove around for maybe less than an hour, also walked around near the water and skatepark. It wasn't that bad of a city for the time that we saw it. Seemed kinda small compared to Buffalo. Buffalo has few tall buildings, Cleveland has more tall buildings but is close together.
Would have been cool to see Drew Carey.
We then drove back and got our stash of fireworks and drove home. Altogether we drove 459 miles.


I'm tired.

Sunday - Monday: It's Sarah and I's 2 year anniversary since we've been together, and we're going to Toronto. We'll be staying at a nice hotel downtown which is connected to PATH (underground shopping thing). We'll probably be visiting the CN Tower and do some sight seeing elsewhere. We don't have much planned but I'm sure we'll find some cool shit to do.

I've been doing a lot of hiking and climbing with Joe, Justin & JP, and plan on doing more. Been photographing our adventures on my Canon 35mm film camera so I'll hopefully have some up within a couple weeks.

]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/12099528/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/12099528/ Wed, 07 Mar 2007 21:53:26 PST I was out photographing the squirrels and small birds that were scampering/flying around in the freezing cold. Like most falls squirrels they were very interested in seeing if I had any "goods" to throw their way. I didn't, but they still came within a foot of me. There were also these small little birds flying around, pretty close actually, maybe 3 feet. They kept landing on branches and just starred at me, then flew off til another came by.
A woman came walking up near me, I said Hi, and engaged in some small talk. Turns out she was from Israel visiting in Toronto. I had my camera pointed at a little bird and was about to take it's picture when it disappeared. So I looked away from the view finder and saw that it was hovering right in front of my camera. I stayed still and it landed right on the end of my lens! It stayed there for maybe 5 seconds then flew off.
I can definately say that was a first. I love photographing animals.

I kept debating whether to get the Energizer Titanium or the Lithium. I thought I'd save $5 and buy the Titanium, after all, I just needed it to get me through the rest of the show which was about 2 more hours. Well, I got back and began taking photos...... maybe 45min later I see the red battery symbol pop up. $6.50 batteries gone. SO, I rush back out to eckerd and get the Energizer Lithium which are $11, rush back and finished the rest of the night.
Whenever I have battery problems at wrestling shows, it's at the out of towners and it's not just a simple fix. Think I'll bring back up batteries for those times like tonight.


good night

My birthday is next tuesday, and I may be going to Letchworth State Park with Sarah, depending on the condition of the weather.

I'm definately saving $$ on gas now that I'm 9 miles closer to work and i'm just trying to chillax for now.
I've been shooting on my canon film camera lately and want to try and experiment more with it. I also want to get out more and photograph things. I'm always too tired to get up in the morning to go anywhere and by the time I do get up, I only have 2 hours before I have to go to work.
Well, there's two wrestling shows comming up. Jan 27th at St. Johnsburg fire hall on Ward road, and Feb 10th in West Henrietta at the Minett hall where The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and Steve Corino will be appearing.
Oh! and 24 is returning to tv tomorrow night!

Well my random blabbing is done for now.
Til then, check out this video [link]

Winter is coming and that means skitching, and that means more videos will be made.
Doing pretty well in my last semester and hope to get mostly A's.

Well I'm sure I'll think of more things to say later on.

I'm finally moved in and almost settled. It's so peaceful and less hectic than the other place I lived in. The neighbors seem more friendly and less trashy.

I went to Warped Tour last week with JP, his cousin Ricky, and his friend Matt. It was awesome, but boy was it fucking H O T. I was dehydrated by the time the Bouncing Souls were finished playing. Ended up having to wait 45min in a 25ft line for food. Then watched Every Time I Die play. They're from Buffalo... not bad. Got dehydrated again and basically tried to stay cool and couldn't get my head to stop pounding. After, JP cooked some hotdogs and hambuggers, and hung out for a bit.
Oh yeah, on the way to the show JP rear-ended a car, and did little damage to his car. But fucked up this girls bumper who didn't even care that much.

My DG shoplifter list, who were either caught (by me) or arrested is as follows:
Sneaker Lady
Flower Pot Embezzeler on Parole
Tide-to-Go Guy
Herbal Essenses Skanks (2)
Beef Jerky Bandit
Milk Kids (2)
Kid who had to borrow money from friend because he was stupid enough to try and steal a milk chug, kid
Cookie Monster Boy
Reading Glasses Asshole
T-Shirt Boy (dressed in black)

... to the best of my knowledge


I went to the Art Festival in Olcott, NY last saturday and ended up making back my $25 spot fee and made an extra $101. That was a lot of fun. Got a lot of compliments and some extra pocket money so I was happy. Maybe one day I'll try and have a shop up there for the summer.


Think I'll get goin now.... ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/9477402/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/9477402/ Mon, 24 Jul 2006 10:10:27 PDT
I took about 2 rolls of B&W film while we were there, so i'll try my best to get them on DA in the next few weeks.

By the way, I'm moving, friday. So I don't know when I'll have internet access back. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/9204471/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/9204471/ Tue, 27 Jun 2006 21:00:30 PDT Sarah's working an overnight at Sam's club.

I have a new camera. A Canon Rebel 2000 SLR 35mm film camera. I bought it off ebay for $200. It came with a sigma 70mm - 300mm zoom lens, a Canon 35mm - 80mm lens. 6 rolls of black and white film, 3 color, a red filter for b&w photos, a cable release, lens hood, a couple slides/filter, and a bag case. I'm already loving film. I'm getting my first roll developed and I have to pick it up tomorrow. We'll see how they came out. I have to get a scanner to scan the photos too.
Another sweet thing, is that the red filter fits my S7000, and my fisheye lens, wide angle, and 2x telephoto lens fits the 35mm - 80mm lens. I should get it clean some time b/c there is some dust inside the body.
I'll be using this for my B&W photography class this coming semester. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/9089836/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/9089836/ Fri, 16 Jun 2006 18:16:07 PDT
NWA Empire show tomorrow. Buffalo Beatdown.

July 23 - 25th going to Lancaster, PA with Sarah to visit PCAD. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/9031822/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/9031822/ Sat, 10 Jun 2006 21:18:22 PDT
So tonight I went to the NWA Upstate show, "Continuing the Tradition," in Rochester, NY. Took Scotty Klep. Also photographed the show.
However, it began shitty for me for the following reasons.
1. The first two to three matches I had too keep changing my rechargeable batteries b/c it kept saying it was low on battery life. And my camera felt like shutting off at random.
2. Finally got a good set of batteries in and after the first match what happens? I wasn't paying attention, and the ref. who also wrestles was coming out of the ring and accidentally kicked my external flash, breaking it into 3 pieces. Took it off and gave it to someone I trusted and went on with the built in flash.
3. About half way through the show, my face started getting hot, kinda like when you get embarassed. Then started feeling dizzy if I looked around too fast.
Needless to say, I was able to make it through the show, but had a fever and was dizzy. I drove home ok, as long as I didn't jerk my head too much. Plus I had to piss like the world was ending.

I know I got some cool shots. The show was really awesome. They had a Woman's Rochester Street Fight and this Japanese wrestler was really cool. They used like 6 chairs or more. And it wasn't no chick fight, an actual brawl type of match. The main event Ladder match was awesome, got a lot of good shots. They didn't have any big names or ex-WWE wrestlers there but they still did an awesome job.

Off to take a cold bath to bring down this fever. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8924245/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8924245/ Tue, 30 May 2006 19:54:17 PDT

hrm...

cleaned my room a good bunch. still feels cluttered but it'll all pan out.

listening to jingle bells by Diana Krall.

ate some peanut butter cap'n crunch.

want some more peanut butter cap'n crunch.

i feel like walking around outside and photographing.

i'm just waiting for the next wrestling show to photograph.

played with my wrestling action figures.

i want to try some still shots some time with different lighting but i always feel like i'm too busy, even when i'm doing nothing.

this saturday is JP's first fire of the summer.

gotta get some mini dv tapes, lighter fluid, and spray paint cans to blow up.

and of course the FIREWORKS!!

my assholes neighbors finally moved out, hope they come close to dying.

i made some cool flyer cards for my photography for Olcott.

i love my Sarah.

i dislike stupid customers who think they're above you, but then i show them that in fact they are wrong and suck a bunch lama dicks.


take that evil milk fucker. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8869272/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8869272/ Wed, 24 May 2006 23:50:35 PDT

I went to the front desk and told them I had reservations and the guy gave me some key cards and told me that our room was on the 29th floor (33 floors total in the hotel). Even better than I was expecting; it was originally booked for floors 17 - 22.
The room was awesome. I forgot to mention that I got both falls views, so we had a corner room with two windows. There was also a jacuzzi in the bathroom which was cool.
We walked around for a while and looked at the falls. Then kept playing along like I didn't know where we were going to eat. Then I asked Sarah if she wanted to eat at the Skylon Tower. She was surprised again and I told her that we are anyway. I had reservations for the revolving dining room.
We went to dinner, and both ordered NY Serloin Steaks and some wine that tasted like cough medicine, and I got a salad. Was a great dinner.
Went back to the hotel room after getting wasted and exchanged some gifts. Sarah got me this awesome book; "Photo Idea Index" by Jim Krause where it shows you how to do different types of photography shots, or rather gets you thinking on how to use lighting, different perspectives and so on.
After that we got... tired, and fell asleep.
It was the best day we've had so far, and they'll be plenty more.

Photos will be up whenever I can get around to sorting them. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8737660/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8737660/ Thu, 11 May 2006 07:58:56 PDT

- I'm officially done with school for now. I have one more semester to go and then I graduate. Next semester's classes are as follows: Juvenile delinquency, Ceramics 1, Digital Media Portfolio, Black & White photography, and Video Production for digital media.

- Things are going so fast and crazy right now. They should smooth out soon and be back to normal. I haven't had much time to photograph things or upload any that I want to.

Today we plan on going camping there overnight and eatin some hot dogs and marshamellows. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8416964/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8416964/ Sun, 09 Apr 2006 11:11:48 PDT I'll upload them later.
After the show we went to Schallers which is right in front of the arena that the NWA show was held at. This place sucked to be honest. We were greated by a white thugish guy (i mean no offense at all) who did a little thug gesture as he asked if it was for here or to go. I tried to hold back my smile and looked at the menu. Ended up getting the Schaller's Plate (1 cheeseburger or 2 hot dogs, a dinner roll, french fries and some macaroni caserol crap. Had to pay 20 cents extra for the fuckin cheeseburger bun, and wanted a medium sprite, but they only had small or large, and it also came with no top. Sarah ended up getting food poisoning last night after i took her home and has been throwing up ever since. Fuck that place, their a rip off.

I'm going to try and enter 5 photos that i took into the student art gallery for this years NCCC art gallery. Just b/c i didn't take these for a class might mean that they won't be considered which i think is kinda BS, since i am a fuckin student of the college. whatever we'll see how it goes.

Finally have DSL so i can download illegal things easier and faster.

April 29th, NWA Empire show. Empire State Wrestling, sadly has come to an end. But i think NWA Empire will be the same thing almost, but with more opportunites to see bigger name wrestlers and better advertising for the fed.

i have to shit, so i'll stop here for now. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8106433/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/8106433/ Wed, 08 Mar 2006 18:57:10 PST

well Valentine's Day was the best ever. got to spend most of it with the love of my life. We went to dinner, at a real nice restuarant, then went to my place and tried to watch a movie. We always 'try'
Sarah made me a really warm fleece blanket for my bed, cause my room has no heat going to it. Also got some chocolates and a teddy bear.
Had a really great time.


I had the opportunity to go to a NWA Upstate Pro-wrestling show, and get to photograph the action (I'll upload some shots when I get some free time). The main event had a former ECW Champion in it. Steve Corino. I took a little over 450 photos for the whole show. The overall show was really awesome. Lots of high-flying action and great talent. Around ringside, there were 4 video camera people, and 3 other photographers besides me (I think a couple were students from RIT). They all had super nice/expensive cameras, better than mine,.. weird thing was, it seemed like they barely used them. edit. I actually saw some photos that one of the photographers took and were really good. she didn't use a flash either. /edit. I could have used those cameras and raped reality of it's time. I'll hopefully get to photograph more NWA shows in the future.


hrm, what else...

i took out some guys mail box the other day, when my car slid off the road from blowing winds and snow drifts on the road.

i finally got pulled over yesterday for my loud muffler on my way to Sarah's, but the cop was nice about it and gave me a warning.

my birthday was really awesome. I got a police/fire/air/weather/ham radio scanner from my mom. Found out that some native americans from Syracuse in a green saturn stole a 9mm riffle. Sarah got me a portable dvd player, so when ever I make a new dvd I can just bring that with me and show Justin, JP, Joe... etc. Sarah's family all pitched in and gave me a card and some cash which was really nice of them. Her mom made me some real freakin good toffee/chocolate/peanut cookie things, so gooood. Justin got me a bottle of octane booster for my legacy, some bullet hole decals for the rusted body, and some epoxy... either to fix my car, or to glue things to other things for the hell of it. And ended up getting $200 total.

Bye evry body, bye! ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7702127/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7702127/ Wed, 25 Jan 2006 07:37:18 PST I fixed my wrestling ring that Sarah got me. The turnbuckles kept coming off from the shitty way it was designed, and the tension from the ropes. Trusty super glue fixed that. Fucken sweet. I also did some more extreme toys shots, but still have to fix em up.
Fixed my muffler again, now it makes half the noise as it used to.

I dunno what else to say.... I love my bunny ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7552851/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7552851/ Mon, 09 Jan 2006 10:19:42 PST So I went to Justin's, then we went to pick up Joe. Got there, went to Art Park for some sledding fun and after they were analy raped by the wooden stairs/"soft" concrete we decided to head elsewhere.
We went back to Joe's and then went bac to Justin's to get snow suits on as they were getting wet with only jeans on.
Get to Justin's, they put some snow suits on and we leave for the Falls. We get to the NF Parking garage and so some Duke's of Hazzard turns on the top of the garage, with the e-brake. We got out and started sledding down the snow covered ramps. Then we go over to the stairs of the garage and put snow down the stairs, this time we would sled out the door instead of into the solid wall.
Then we leave and decide to go to Ellicot Creek park, which is all the way back past Justin's/my place. We get there, eventually, and drive in. We go to this hill that we've been to before and go sledding and whatnot. Then Joe puts on the santa beard/wig and hat and starts sledding with it. Then justins puts on the whole santa suit and an extra hat. They ended up doing this santa vs santa/jason thing cuz i had a Jason maks in my car too. I also brought fake blood with us and used that when "santa" joe killed santa justin. Made some humorous video to edit.
Then they wanted to expand the storyline, hah, like there was a story to begin with We did a chase scene, but also wanted to do another scene where it builds up to the whole fight scene. But when I tried to pull my car into the grass to use my car lights as lighting, rather than my spot light that was loosing power, I got stucked.
In the mud. The front tires of my car spinned right into the soppy ground. I didn't even have a chance to try and rock back and forth to get it out. Pushing did shit also. Then we saw headlights and with our luck, knew it was a cop. He stopped and asked what happened and why we were trespassing. I forgot that parks had that thing where after dark it's closed, and you're trespassing. But we were so determined to go sledding.
Long story short, all 3 of us got summons to go to court for trespassing. The only reason we got those was because there was damage to the grass from sinking into it. Only about a 3 foot long rut, out of a mile by half mile park. I guess the guy whole runs the place gets super pissed about anything that happens to the place. And that guy happens to be Jamin's father.
The cop, actually Sherif said not to worry, that it isn't a big thing, and to not skip it, which I wouldn't anyways. But said it would probably be a slap on the wrist. I thinking there could be a small fine also. But he said the reason he had to give us summons, is because there was damage to the grass, and if he just let it go and that "they" saw that he did nothing, then he would be responsible. which i totally understand.
Triple A ended up getting us out and we all went home. then i got a call at 4:02am and it was jp asking if i could pick him up. but that's a whole other story.


the end. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7546847/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7546847/ Sun, 08 Jan 2006 16:44:37 PST After the first train passed, today, I started walking back across the bridge when I thought I heard another. Only rumbling for about a minute. I kept looking back so I wouldn't be caught by surprise. I was almost across when I looked back again and saw the steel monster rumbling my way. I ran the rest of the way and snapped a few as it roared by.
a fun day. i havent gone out taking photos in a while. it felt good. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7503274/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7503274/ Tue, 03 Jan 2006 21:16:57 PST Me

Last night I earned $300 in 5 hours for just taking photos at a Company Christmas party. Sarah earned $60 for writing people's names down in posed photos. I may have lost my wide angle lens at the party, but i don' know when/where. I know i had it towards the end when I was photographing the band. It could have fell out in my car, just haven't had much time to do a thorough check. I'm not that bumbed though, it did have a small crack/chip within the lens, how it happened i don't know.


Hope everyone has an awesome Christmas and stuff. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7242514/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7242514/ Tue, 06 Dec 2005 21:19:09 PST the 23rd of Dec. i'm going to be photographing a company xmas party at the Buffalo Holiday Inn. It's gonna be a lot of work. I have to take photos of almost everyone, adults, kids w/santa, art and crafts for the kids, dinner, maybe a band. I need an assistant also (to get people's names in each photo), who i immediately thought of Sarah since she's so good with people. I would be paid $50 an hour with an min. of 3 hours, could go to 4 or 5 hours. Sarah would get no less than $10/hour i believe, and we both get dinner. i'm really looking forward to this.

Speeding Ticket (70/55):
went for my speeding ticket today. got it reduced to a parking violation, but have to pay $100 fine and go to driving school, i picked the one at NCCC. had to wait almost 3 hours to finally get out.

Bunny Boo Boo:
my Sarah fellded on her elbow at work a few days ago. she was walking around the corner outside on her break, with her hand in her purse as she slipped on some ice. she dislocated her elbow and got a cut, deep enough to the bone. they tried to get her to work after all this happened. ended up going to the hospital and nothing's broke, just gonna be real sore. glad she's ok.
fucken Sam's club is making her take a drug test to make sure she wasn't drunk or stoned on the job, which is total bullshit. she'll pass though.

ESW Season's Beatings:
is this friday at 7:30pm @ St. Johnsburg Firehall.

hrm, still have more xmas shopping to do.

i came home to find that the parking lot is blocked off b/c the dumbasses who are contracted to pave the parking lots, took all day to just pave a fraction of the lot and decided to screw everyone so they'd have to park elsewhere. now in NT there's a thing where you can't park your car in the street from 3am to 6am, so plows can get through during the winter season. i looked all around for a spot but couldn't find one. the po-lice said that they couldn't do anything about waiving the street thingy so i parked in my yard.


COPS rules! ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7105044/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/7105044/ Mon, 21 Nov 2005 12:25:15 PST
I got a call from Tina bout a half hour ago saying all my paperwork went through, so i start work tomorrow. Going back to dollar general again. Last time was just hectic at the end, shouldn't be as stressful, and I'm told there arn't as many dumbasses who shop at this store (it's a different store than the last).

It snowed a few days ago but melted away. I really want it to snow again, can't wait to walk around in it at night. Driving is fun also, and hanging out with jp, random donuts and crazy sideways driving.

ESW show is this Sat., Pilgrims & Piledrivers. Can't wait. It's been a couple months since the last one. And after this one, only a 2 week wait til Seasons Beatings on Dec. 9th.

I'm trying to get most of my homework done before the Thanksgiving weekend, so I won't have to worry about the "mistakes" my teachers made by giving us homework due right after Thanksgiving.

I've only submitted like 1 photo in a while. Sarah and I went to Lockport yesterday evening and walked around some train tracks for a bit. I have some photos to upload, plus I think I may upload some ESW posters that I've made for the past shows.

The movie Garden State is pretty good too. Oh and Tony Hawk's American Wasteland has definately evolved the series over the years, although some of the dialog and audio doesn't match up and glitches for me some times, it's still an awesome game with tons new things and the cities seem huge to me, since there's the classic mode in with it (I bought the collector's edition).

Some drunk (or whatever) guy came pushing through and bumped into me, so i gave him a bit of a nudge and he just fell onto someone and passed out. then JP tried helping the guy up and he woke up, but just sat there looking up. I bought OFM's cd for $10 and autographed it. JP got a fat lip in the pit, only minor to all his other injuries in the past. And boy do Canadians love their pot.
On the way home i was doing 80mph+ on the QEW and got home in about an hour. I now know why whenever i listen to 102.1 (canadian edge) there's so many accidents on the QEW... the speed limit is 100km/hour, i found myself doing 140km/hour (90mph-ish) just to keep up with everyone and not have some asshole tailgating me at 80mph.
Didn't take any photos of Toronto b/c we were way too tired to do anything but head home. But the buildings and skyline was amazing. It looked so small but then you realized that everything was huge. oh well, i'll just have to go there again with someone else and stay longer. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6911968/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6911968/ Mon, 31 Oct 2005 01:32:41 PST ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6890050/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6890050/ Fri, 28 Oct 2005 10:08:34 PDT

Well last weekend Sarah and I went to Letchworth State Park. Saturday was rainy, cold, and foggy. Later on we went and eventually found a motel and got ourselves a room. Then went to eat and went back to our room for some tv watchin... The next day we went back to LSP and got to see the 3 waterfalls. It was cold, cloudy/sunny, and sprinkles here and there... a lot better then Sat. Overall the weekend was awesome cause I got to spend it with Sarah and enjoyed the beautiful autumn colors.
I'll try and get some photos from Letchworth up over the weekend.

I gots me a new/used car. A Subaru Legacy. Tan, 4 cyl, some rust, new brake pads, new gas tank, 4 new tires, some other new stuff. The interior is like brand new, so clean and no rips or stains. The muffler is loud and has some holes in it so that'll have to be fixed, as well as roters in the front. Oh and it's a great winter car. $800.

So i guess Justin was laid off (fired) from ESP for throwing bio-degradable food up on their roof. The new tech guy ended up going up there and found it. I got my first memo yesterday also. I guess i passed a bunch off shitty lookin dvds after they were Skanklinized (wrapped) and the higher ups totally flipped out. They ended up writing my supervisor up for it and he had to spend a half hour in this douche bags office talking about it. Then, my supervisor told me about not passing things that look like that (i thought it was the dvd cases' fault looking a little wavey, no one ever told me that those weren't acceptable.) Then, the douche bag comes over a little later and tells me to not pass them if they look like that, and then hands me a fucken memo! a piece of paper that says why i shouldn't pass it and just a re-peat of what the fuck head said. so i threw it out. a total office space moment right there blah their all fuck heads who run the place... i'll get a better job some day.

...off to see Sarah and give her presents ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6778848/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6778848/ Sat, 15 Oct 2005 22:23:45 PDT we went to Forest Lawn in Buffalo and walked around taking photos of the fall trees, statues, animals, ect. probably stayed a good 3 hours. then decided to go get some yum yums. went to mighty taco, then to get some pumpkins for Halloween

so the ESW show was cancelled due to a bond not going through in enough time. bummed about that since i made the flyer for the oct show all Halloweenish themed and cool looking. i'm still gonna get a print of it, but i have to 'revise' it for the November show. basically make it Thanksgiving themed.
the up side is, me and Sarah are going to Letchworth State Park the 22nd and 23rd. We're prolly gonna stay over night at a nearby motel and go back the next day again. the place is so sweet and i love the water falls, mainly the middle one. it'll be a nice get away from work and school.

i came home to a bunch of Halloween lights blinking in our apartment windows. my mom busted out the Halloween decorations and felt like pimping it up. i have about 16 pumpkin-faced lights blinking on and off in my windows at the moment.

i smell like Sarah, from all the cuddlin and stuff ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6756801/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6756801/ Thu, 13 Oct 2005 11:10:17 PDT

i've been working 4pm - 12midnight for the past 3 days, tonight i'm going in too. i'm so tired. i don't even hear my alarm clock go off anymore, just my mom trying to wake me up every 2 min.

sucks not having a car. i want to go to so many places with Sarah and have lots of fun during her favorite month. play in some leaves and pick some pumpkins, and go to haunted houses or whateva. and letchworth to se ethe waterfalls and autumn leaves. i'll find a way to go to letchworth, some how.

i took some photos yesterday before my math class of around nccc. just some trees and leaves. it was misty out so every leave looked like it had a bunch of shiney gems/orbs on them. it's really beautfiul when you look closely. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6712628/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6712628/ Sat, 08 Oct 2005 13:00:59 PDT have the heat blasting cause it's freezing in this b-otch.

going to sarah's tonight to hang out for a bit.
last night was jp's last fire of the summer season. we blew up 10 cans of spray paint, used up 8 bottles of lighter fluid, and like 2 or 3 bottles of nail polish remover. i just filmed and took photos. the starting of the fire was sweet, made a huge ring of fire that spread from the center, outwards of about 8 feet. there's been better fires but still, it's always fun times.

this month is gonna be busy.
next weekend i'd like to try and film a music video in a day or two.
the 22nd i have to photograph for ESW's Hardcore Halloween, which i also made a fyer for that one, looks real sweet... maybe i'll put a photo up if i can.
then the 23rd me and sarah plan on going to Letchworth State Park for the day.
then the 28th is sarah's birfday so we gonna do some fun shit, and of course Halloween.
not including school/work/try finding a new car. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6641390/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6641390/ Fri, 30 Sep 2005 10:10:35 PDT [link]

this is a bit weird. although i'm sure it could have some good uses, like capturing real human emotions w/o someone knowing, not always for perverted old men. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6601934/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6601934/ Sun, 25 Sep 2005 19:19:20 PDT
then after i look at my cell and it says 8 new voicemails. 7 of them were jp, mostly just jiberish and random retardedness. and 1 was from my Sarah. then jp calls me and tells me to come down and to bring the factory footage to watch. i burned some cd's and headed down. had to go to center street in lewiston cuz they were riding around in a wheel chair down the sloapy streets. we walked around for a while, went to tops with the wheelchair, came back to our cars and headed to jp's. half way there at a light my car staulled out and started smoking a bit. so i put my flashers on and pushed it to the side. they turned around and came to help and jp ended up pushing my car with his car, about 2 miles back to his place. he took a look at it and said i could have finally blown the engine. guess i shouldn't have tried racing him on the way back. oh well i knew it wouldn't last me much longer.
i took back the basically new radiator to auto zone and got my $182 back, didn't even last me a week so i'm glad i got it back. ]]> ~colormesilly http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6545291/ http://colormesilly.deviantart.com/journal/6545291/ Mon, 19 Sep 2005 11:42:49 PDT My radiator in my car finally went, so wed. morning jp's coming over and we're gonna put a new one in, hopefully.
I got to hang out with Sarah for an hour just a few min. ago. That made me happy since i havent seen her in a week or so. We're so damn busy with all the shit we have going on.
I'm stuck here at school til 4:45ish, that's when my grandmas comming to take me to work.
The local radio station, 103.3 the edge is having a film contest, and i'm gonna try and make a video of all the crazy shit me and my friends have done and put some metal music in the BG. gonna try and appeal to the radio listeners. i'm not sure who's gonna be judging it though.

laters.

tonight this dude tony (16yr old kid) came up to me when i was getting shit out of my car. he said some kids were after him and threatening him. he asked what he should do. i told him to call the cops and say some kids are walking up and down the street swearing and being loud. so he did and they said they were busy, 3 calls behind or something. so being me, i like getting into mischief. found a pack of firecrackers, a lighter, and my black hoodie. went out the back door and made my way towards the high school kids, but out of sight. i got within 60 feet or so and was waiting to light them off. all of the sudden this chick says, "who the fuck spit on my car!? .... whipe that off my fucken car." on and on. i guess one of the guys touched/pushed her, so then she flipped out even more, and this guy was like, "Don't be touchin my giirrl yo." and they kept yelling back and forth. I thought to myself, "this is the perfect time, they'll think one of them pulled out a gun or something. I lit the fuse, threw it their way and ran the opposite way. it went off making loud bangs like a drive-by or shooting. made a big O back to my apartment. they all split.... funny as hell.

today i found some web articles about the place, plus other places in rochester and lewiston about the manhattan project, radioactive waste being stored there, possibly biological/nerve gases also. it says it was mostly cleaned up in the 1980's, but think about what else could be there or not removed. the one main building which was maybe 3 stories high reminded me of the movie Resident Evil. we only walked on the 1st floor.
then i found this: [link]
and we won't be going back.
...i just talked to Sarah and her father used to work there in the shipping department. she said even he knew about some things they were using/being exposed to that he didn't want to be around.

i took some photos of the place and i'll prolly upload some within a few days, depending on my busy life ]]> ~colormesilly
