Ecuadorain Choclate candy bars and a place called Round Table pizza, what's the common theme here?


Well the start of many things has been going on this past week even old things as well. As you all know I will soon but not all to soon be heading back to a place called Cuenca Ecuador to visit with my parents who have lived there for over three years now. I have share with you that my sister Kylie and my nephew Bryce have been here a short week known as "SPRING BREAK" for at least both of them and NOT just ONE as I said in my "Breakfast with....who are they again or something like that kinda" posting from the other day, boy I wonder how hard that will be to find.... Well anyway earlier tonight I met up with a few people I just might know I think I know these two anyhoo

,but even if I don't I'll still claim them as siblings all the same?, what do you all think on that one? We truly got together really and seriously for because our folks are here from Cuenca Ecuador to do a lot of things here in the United States before kidnapping me again to be their Prisoner in a very relaxing cell called home for them anyway. (Of course I'm joking about being a PRISONER there in Ecuador for the last two time I have visited it has been very nice there). To say everyone seeing each other brought a slight tear or two to one's eyes would be exaggerating just a little , especially when mimi and Popi brought stuff like this

for the grand kids. Yet I think among all the time spent at Round Table pizza tonight beyond the "If I found a Boiled peanut" song sung by Bryce, I'd have to say the chocolate candy bars from Ecuador were a big hit with Cannon and Bryce in particular

and Heidi too, even though she was tried from her gymnastics class decided to have shall we say

"chocolate eye wear" just for kicks?!

Breakfast was fun today with Kylie & Bryce and his friend


Boy was earlier this morning was a good little treat for me outta the norm,anyways and here is why: My younger sister Kylie and her son Bryce are visiting here over Bryce's Spring break from school in California where they live. About two weeks ago I was talking with Kylie about something else, and this was when she had let me known she was going to be here, besides checking her Facebook updates from time to time between then till now. At about six forty five I had called Kylie and told her to call me back, for since Sunday evening it had seemed we were playing phone tag with each other. She had called me at about a little after nine last night to tell me when she'd come and pick me up for this morning. But I had been awaken a lot earlier than that this morning when my old TRAC PHONE that as I told you all I was planing on switching over the minutes over to my new TRAC PHONE in Sunday's posting later this week I was hoping early Friday morning was bleeping at a little after six fifteen this morning, I went and got it all done in the course of the hour leading up to seven realizing I still need some shut eye so I went back to bed for some ZZZZs till eight actually. I had gotten ready with a shower and some K-LOVE radio listing till Kylie and Bryce picked me up a little after nine and when I got into their car I realized that their was a whole other voice I'd never heard before chatting with Bryce as we headed to I-HOP. It had turned out that Kylie had brought her friend of who she was staying with with them to later after breakfast drop him off at daycare. I have to say meeting this little friend of Bryce's was fun for me in two ways I will tell you his name after I let you in on a little secret I think like my friend Jeff one of this kid's parents must really dig Star Trek for his name is Soran as the main villain from Star Trek's seventh movie installment called STAR TREK GENERATIONS, so I think I'm the only person who can say they know kids named in a way after Star Trek characters and now you the reader of this can as well! Here is Bryce with his chocolate pancakes,and here is Soran with his meal
,
and yes I'll even budge a bit and show you mine
,
as well. The other thing I learned about this Soran was he like Bryce and me loves comics here
is proof of that

and yet I'm not so sure I could keep up with kids even though I would as I have said before would like to have some of my own someday.

Spider pillow galore


As you all know I am one huge fan of SPIDER-MAN the comic book character created by the gods of comic creators Stan Lee, who created that ol Parker boy in a dying book simply known as made a character that almost anyone can relate to if a normal person,were ever gave super powers , back in the late summer of 1962. I have so many things of the character like novels, clothing, movies, and the list could and does go on forever if you really must know, people I know may say I love this fictional character as if I were married to him I don't mind that, for who knows it could be true. What I want to share with you today is that on April fools day a good pal of mine saw me grating up carts and said "Hey Matt, Ron from BFT remember me?" I just shook my head and wanted to share my riddle about a "How are a Map and a tale of the old west connected?" before I could even get the words out he said "I happen to see this at a yard sale and I told them the people he was paying I know the perfect person for this..." as Before I could ask "well what is it?" he handed me a bag from Home Depot and said " A Spider-Man pillow" I had pull it out of the bag it was a pillow of spider-man from when the first three movies came out in the earlier part of the two thousands. The pillow design itself seem to be from the second film of where he faces the multitudinous armed villain "DOC OCK", played wonderfully by British actor Alfred Molina.
Here is the said pillow with a couple of other Spider-man pillows that I got a few years back at
Christmas time of the webbed one crawling on it that I got from of course my brother and his family and my friend Laura who unbeknown

that I already had one, still all I can say is the more the merrier.

All because of a midday nap


Yesterday I was still a bit tired when I got home from visiting with my friend Jeff and his kids Christoper & Kira from on late Saturday afternoon and evening, so at any rate I eventually felt I needed a little snooze. So at a little before two thirty or just after that time in the way of a few minutes I went an crashed till four in the afternoon, when got up I felt that I finally had some energized batteries to take on the world so I threw out a couple of postings from here on the site. As nine o clock approached I was finally really to check out some of the complete Star Trek the Next Generation DVD set that Jeff had gave me as I've said before as my birthday present, I happen to pop in season three disc six which have these episodes on it "HOLLOW PURSUITS", "SAREK", "THE MOST TOYS", "MENAGE 'A TROI", I will eventually be doing a season blog posting of this whole series but for now I just watched the last two and a episode from season two of the series and the name of that episode was "THE MEASURE OF A MAN". After watching these three episodes of the Next Generation I decided to watch one of those new Yamato movies from that collection I was talking about the other day, I happen to have started it at ten thirty at night and it was still going at sometime after two in the morning before I realized I still needed some shut eye. Someday soon I will get back to watch all of those movies and believe it will take maybe a whole weekend in and of itself just to watch it all.

A intresting bit on the Trac phone story from a couple of months ago


A funny thing has happen over this past weekend that you all have to hear it to believe it?, On Saturday in the early afternoon hours of the day I had called my friend Jeff just to see how he and his kids were doing, it just so happens I was watching the very first version of a movie called DRAGNET that lead to the TV series of the late sixties that starred Jack Webb who also had directed this. And was responsible for producing another series of decent TV in the seventies known as which I watched as a little guy right along with STAR BLAZERS . Well this take on DRAGNET didn't yet have Harry Morgan from M*A*S*H* as JOE FRIDAY'S partner so I'd guess it was about nineteen fifty eight or fifty nine that this was made. So a few minutes later after I had let Jeff go not a minute even goes by that my phone is yet ringing again I pick it up to hear Jeff tell me that his boy Christoper had found my missing TRAC PHONE from back in February that I thought had been picked off me when I was buying a very special SPIDEY beach ball at ABLY where I work. Jeff had read some of the entries of names of the TRAC PHONE to me and now I even more curious as to how I will get it to work since I threw the charger away. Still I'm thinking of just calling TRAC PHONE services and have them help me transfer the unused minutes to my current TRAC PHONE for I promised little Christoper he could have the phone once I removed what I need from the memory of the thing and hey really I can care less once I have what I want from it as to who owns the thing. I'm just have one thing on my mind that I don't understand and that is When did I leave the TRAC PHONE at Jeff's and NOT KNOW IT has me baffled and still does....

Boy I kinda feel like a machine from Cybertron





What could these robots in disguise ,or their world where they are from have to do with this blog today, well read on to find out.... Here is

why I feel like a Atuobot
or a Decepeitcon from the cartoon series called TRANSFORMERS from the mid nineteen eighties. So how is it that this series based on a Japanese toy line became so popular here in the United States really I don't know outside of a thing known a marketing. So what was Cybertron really in the TRANSFORMERS, lore that too outside of it being the two fractions, home world, that I also know not of ! What is it about that hand up above that makes it like any of these robots for is that the disguise of this very posting maybe or maybe not. Lets take a closer look at what is behind the palm that seem to be hiding something, shall we?, Whatever it is it looks like there is something of Spider-man in the mix, huh? Well what it is, is a special kind of a shirt as seen fully here
with my little friend Kira pulling on me so how is this very shirt like a machine from Cybertron right well here is the very answer when it is exposed to sunlight it gives all of these Marvel comic characters colors as seen here
so as you can see this very piece of apparel is in itself a TRANSFORMER in a very changing way and the only true way I'd ever part with it is if it were a living sentential life form like oh say this classic suit

that later become the Spidey foe simply known as VENOM! Now I know that you ALL are still scratching your heads about my two riddles from yesterday you remember I said I would give you the answers today and here they are with the questions as well 1, Who is the one Smurf of "ALL" Smurfs who'd love April 1st or as I put it yesterday today?, Answer this one
he is named Jokey Smurf! 2, How is a map and a tale of the old west connected?, Answer A Legend (Here is how I arrived with the answer for this one since I'm still thinking a lot about my story of "Clone of Me", I focused on the word story as what do most of them become over time, A Legend and I got to also thinking what is the common name of the directional key on a map known as besides a key A Legend)

Hopping into a JOKING DAY or here's hoping to?


Here we are with the start of a new month, which means a new background image should be here at Day life of the Matt right?, well before I get to that what I want to know was did anyone pull a prank on you today, since today was the day your friends play jokes on you with today being April first, better known as April fools day. Well I may not have actual jokes today that I have heard, but I do happen to have two riddles that will leave you thinking for quite a while of this I'm certain?, yet if you recall as well I also said I had a number of "GREEN Choices" of wallpaper images for both my monthly desktop for MARCH and as I said above here as well. Here were the ones I was looking at for my desktop: , , ,but as I said I may surprise you as well as myself and here is what I really had a blend of when Marvel was brought by Disney in two thousand and nine I called it "The INCREDIBLE DUCK" , it done by a comic fan from the website comicvine.com. I'm sure you wanna see my choices before what I decided on for the background template here this is a unseen character from the original MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE TOY LINE, (1979-1989) his name was King Hiss and yes he was the leader of the SNAKEMEN. Well here are the other Choices I had ,
, ,and yes there was many more from both that I could have selected from but these were the main ones I decided on at a moments notice, yet I most certainly have great choices this time around as you can see on the outside boarder here, for the site anyway. So I'm guessing you wanna hear these two riddles to have good laugh if not a snicker at least huh? well here there are 1, Who is the one SMURF of "ALL" of the smurfs who'd love today? 2, How is a map and a tale of the old west connected? Tomorrow I will give you the answers if you haven't figured out the answers.
