You need to suck, really bad...
to get good.
The reason Buffalo sports are so frustrating is because we were never really really bad, at least not long enough.
We've always been, average.
When you're average, you don't get a good draft selection. Look at all the good teams.
NHL
Pittsburgh - Crosby, Malkin, Fleury all 1st or 2nd overall
Washington - Ovechkin, Backstrom, Semin, Green - all 1st round picks
Chicago - Toews, Kane, Seabrook
Detroit is a freak of nature in developing players they don't count
NFL
it's kind of different here, scouting is alot different, but let's still look at the last 3 Vince Lombardi trophy champions
Pittsburgh - Roethlisberger - 1st round, Holmes - 1st round, Farrior - 1st round
Giants - Manning - 1st round, (Then) Burress - 1st round
Colts - Manning - 1st round, Wayne - 1st round, Addai - 1st round
What do the Bills and Sabres have to offer in their 1st or 2nd round selections? Next to nothing. Sure Tyler Myers looks good now, that's great. But what has Stafford turned into? Where is Vanek this year? And for the Bills, who's Mike Williams now? Whitner...hardly a game changer.
If we want to GET good, we have to be bad, i mean really bad, like Toronto Maple Leaf or Detroit Lion bad.
Then we can hopefully have the right management to bring in the right players, and the coach's to develop the players.
Oh who am i kidding this will never happen. Sports are fixed anyway, are you really going to tell me that the Bills will loose to the Browns but almost beat the Patriots. RRRRRRRRRight

If you watch fight club right after listening to an insane man's lecture about Syfilis, you might feel like you're starting to loose your mind.
And that's exactly what i've been looking to do.
Real artists dont have logic. That's why im going to be a teacher.

My older friend kat's brother Michael went missing sometime on Wednesday, somewhere on
his way to an inpatient rehabilitation clinic. Our family is extremely
worried about him, think he is likely still in the Buffalo Area. If
anyone sees or hears from Michael, please do not hesitate to call me or her other brother Anthony ...at
(716)553-9547. Mike is 22 years old, 5'8'', brown
hair/eyes and built stocky. There is a Missing Persons report filed on
Mike. PLEASE look at the picture and keeps your eyes open for him. Sorry to make such a serious post, but we are trying to locate
him and have very little options.

If I didn't have a sense of humor I probably would have killed myself by now. Or gotten killed, probaby the 2nd one. That makes more sense.

New York almost feels like a dream.
It was great and it ended just like that.
Back home, driving again, in class, parents yelling at Evan.
I want New York back.

Went to comedy club last night. I'll admit I got talked into going by this guy selling tickets in times square. But it was good. Two guys were halarious, the brittish guy sucked and the host thought it was Friday. On a scale from 1-10, 1 being sucky and 10 being good, it was a 6.
I think today were gonna do the super touristy stuff, statue of liberty and of course the apple store. Oh and Jen wants a cupcake.

Three floors of all things m&m's. Really?
In times square now. I don't think anyone who's here right now is actually from this city. Everyone is a tourist.
