New Stuff
I've been a bad blogger....I don't think I've posted much since August but I'm hoping that will change, to catch up I'll just do the old bullet point thing:
How about them Sabres! Christian Erhoff looks like a stud on defense, not a physical stud but he's going to be the first defenseman since probably Jon Van Boxmeer who can not just accurately shoot the puck but get the thing through from the point consistently. Norris Trophy? If he doesn't win it Tyler Myers will, mark my words.
Humble and Fred Radio October 15th! I can't wait!
The Bills beat the Pats, who would have thought? I still say they are not a playoff team. Yes they are 3-1 but they proved against The Bengals that they are still capable of playing down to their opponent. Not that The Bengals played poorly but the Bills could have played a lot better. Where is CJ Spiller?
And Sarah Palin finally put us all out of our misery and announced she is not running for president....I'm atheist and even that had me thinking that maybe there is a god after all. Now just getting her to shut her pie hole. This was her last night on the Greta "I look like a horse" Van Susteren show, if you can sit through her overly verbage filled answers:
I think she is so flighty and wordy that by the time she finishes responding to the original question she forgets what she is supposed to be answering and the listener forgets what the hell she is talking about and only gets the last 5 words out of her mouth. She is truly the dumbest person in this country and Greta isn't far behind because she sits there and interviews her like Sarah is some sort of intellect.
Finally, since its October and Halloween is upon us....does anyone know where you can find a Fraggle costume for my daughter?

I'm a Schmuck
Sorry, I know, for what ever readers I have left I have been just busy. no excuse other than that. Im gonna try to catch up over the next few days and I'll start with a little catch all here:
1. The American people have spoken....and the American People have proven just how short term memory this country is. Does anyone not remember the Bush years? Does anyone not remember what republicans do with a democrat president in office when they control the house? More debt, more economic polices that will kill the middle class and they are going to waste tax payer dollars trying to investigate the hell out of this president so the can impeach him, not because he has done anything wrong, but because they want power, they don't give a crap about the people.
2. The Bipartisan debt commission came out today with their plan and it favors the rich and destroys the middle class, surprise, surprise. If Obama does'nt come out and denounce this before 9 AM tomorrow there is a problem. It will show once and for all who really runs this country and its not by the people, for the people, its by the corporations, for the wealthy.
.3. We may be starting to turn a corner, we just beat the Devils 5-4 in a second consecutive shootout. Tyler Myers had 3 points and was a plus 3, thats the Myers we all know and have man crushes on, and uh Tim Connolly still sucks
4. Did I mention the repukes have control of the house? There are two morons who will be incharge of science based committees and both think that the Bible will save us therefore nothing needs to be done about global warming or our energy policy and we can pollute all we want.....at what point do we say oh I don't know Put an honest to goodness scientist in charge?
In the spirit of getting caught up here's a little Depeche Mode from Catching Up with Depeche Mode, Just Can't Get Enough:Category: Blogging
Back to Bloggage....
Geez, I don't think I have posted since last week, its been busy and I will get into that later. Its really been hard writing about the usual stuff lately. Just kind of sitting back and watching things unfold but I have some things rattling around in my head I have to get out later. Stay Tuned.

I've Been Lazy
I admit I've been lazy, been distracted by other things instead of updating Buffalo Boy. I do homecare for a living and we do everything on computer and there are nights on end where I am sick of being on a computer.
However that is no excuse for leaving this site unattended and for anyone wondering Buffalo Boy is still alive and well just on sabaticcal.
To be honest I have been lacking the overall will to write much lately, I guess I have been sitting back just watching the political environment unfold, the sports world, Mel Gibson's tirade and a whole host of other issues and just kind of numb to a lot of it lately and thinking of what I can write about.
One thing I am noticing is that everything gets sooo over played in the media world that you get sick of seeing the same damn lead stories refurbished and opinionated on that it makes you sick. News isn't news anymore its opinion. Leave opinion for bloggers and the news networks need to focus on facts not opinion thats how the whole Sherrod thing got started. Opinion and twisting the facts, in this case a video.
So that said, I feel like my batteries are slowly recharging and Im actually in a mood to post stuff again, just needed a bit of a break.

Low On Bloggage
I've been away for a bit from the bloggage thing. Work has been busy, swimming is in high gear and well baby life is exhausting.
Im also going to start back up with my weight loss plan....I started last year in January and have written on here about it before but to say the least it is an easy habit to get out of.
As easy as working out and losing weight can be to get into the habit of, its probably twice as easy to fall off the bandwagon. I was going good up until last April, but then my shoulders started acting up, I started therapy and ended up not getting my workouts in, well by the time I was done with therapy, I had gotten out of the habit of hitting the gym.
Looking for a house became a precedent and working longer hours at work, baby came closer and closer and working out became secondary.
Well, now for my health and the fact that I want to live a long life and see my daughter through into her adult years, I am embarking on the workout bandwagon and this time its to stay.
I am going to use Buffalo Boy as a way to A)post my eating habits daily B) give weekly weight loss updates and C) readers can leave me words of encouragement to keep me focused.
Im starting tomorrow, yes I know its Thanksgiving Day, not the best day to start a weight loss program, but lets face it, what better landmark day could there be?
Next Thanksgiving I will be on here giving thanks for losing 75 pounds and enjoying a day off from the gym and my weight loss program.
My plan:
1. I will avoid all food that is served through a drive through window
2. No more sugary, carbonated beverages.
3. No more pizza. Unless it is made by me with healthy choices.
4. No more deserts
5. Juicing once per day
6. at least 30 continuous minutes of exercise per day.
7. Weighing in once per week.
8. Every day I will post what I have eaten so that A) you all can see it and B) I Can see it and gain some feedback.
I don't know if Ill make it but I can say that its time to make some tough choices. Losing weight is like quitting smoking, both are extremely hard to do. Both involve breaking habits that are ingrained, but once you get into new, healthier habits, it snowballs, but like smoking, if you go one inch in the negative direction, you can fall off the wagon hard.

There Is Another
There is another Buffalo blog in the blogging world. The name? Buffalo Dave. I will probably put him up on my sidebar. Help welcome him into the Buffalo blogging world and check out his site.
He appears to be a republican so it should provide A) a little competition for me and B) a different view from my liberal points. Of course Im assuming that he is new as he has only 16 posts thus far. Dave, if you stop by, correct me if I am wrong.Category: Blogging
Bloggage
1,336. That was the number of visits to BBM last month. That and I can safely say I probably posted less blogs than in recent months due to a number of things but primarily due to work, getting ready to move and other life issues.
Maybe less is more. That is the highest number of visitors since March which saw 1,167 visitors. June's numbers by comparison: 952.
Thanks for visiting last month and I know I need to try getting more posts up and have a lot I wanted to do but haven't gotten to yet. I guess thats blogging for you, so much to write but sometimes you can't hit it all.

Yeah I know I haven't posted much lately and Im a week late on posting Martin Streek stuff I have on cassette. Its coming. Been really busy with preparations to move and just kinda sitting back for a while and letting the batteries recharge.
One thing about getting old stuff off cassette is that it takes time, rewinding, fast fowarding to get the right clips. Ill get it up by next weekend,
This week Ill get back into it, Ill have some Martin stuff this week, probably Friday, some Humble and Fred Fridays too which I have been lax on and this week the Bills start training camp so I may start giving my two cents about them.
Roy Halladay may be gone by the end of the week as well so I am counting on the readers to leave me some comments if I haven't seen it yet. In the meantime Im just taking some days off from the bloggage but Ill be back up and going by Wednesday at the latest.
In the mean time stick your comments below and enjoy the summer weather we have been promised, we will be gettting stuff out for a block sale next weekend on our street and getting rid of as much crap as possible so we don't have to move.it to the next place!.......BBM

Didn't get a chance to blog much over the weekend, too much stuff going on, swim meet Sunday, got a new contract accepted on a new house and facing the realistic possibilty of losing my healh insurance because a certain employer who I will not name (though I should) is giving the screw job to my wife.
Oh yeah, and our doggy graduated from obedience school.
So, life is fun here at the Buffalo Boy residence, a mixed bag of good and not so good. I will write more later possibly.
In the mean time, Single Payer, Universal Healthcare all the way!
Leave me some comments

Sorry about the lack of new posts. Somewhere between the Hip show on Saturday, work, and house hunting I have neglected BBM this week. I promise to catch up probably later tonight....In the meantime leave thoughts and anecdotes in the comments section of this post.
I have stuff to post about the Hip show, healthcare and stupid right wing republicans and....The Doc Watch which I have not updated on since May. Stay tuned and patient as life is hectic around the Buffalo Boy residence.
