Our venture so far...

 Hello everyone,                                                                                                                                           My folks and I are now in Portland, Oregon on the first leg of my vacation time with them for this very year.  We actually started officially yesterday of getting ready to leave from Richland after doing small amount of thoughtful shopping and having my mother be able to spend some bonding time with my brother Michael. My step dad and I were headed back from Walmart when I will admit that I forgot my key to my front door, so he and I headed to my work place of Safeway and grabbed so breakfast stuff for this morning for when we got on the Amtrak train,  while at Safeway I had them break my lock on my locker to get my spare house key.  Then I threw away the keys to that old lock after I let us in, and returned my spare key to my work locker with a new lock on it. Then as moms do mine helped me pack my suit case for our venturous outing of fun. After that we ate dinner at Subway in Pasco before turning in their car rental and called our hotel for a pick up because of it being overly windy last night.                                                                    When got ready to catch our train here to Portland I got a few pics at the Pasco train station. One my mom and one of a selfle of myself by the station's clock. Once we got on our Amtrak train we had a nice ride through Washington state, I went and got a few shots of us on the train before we began. Also a few near McNeely damn area and a few windmills before entering Vancouver Washington which I will admit I thought we were going for a while,  apparently not though. As soon as we got to our hotel the courtyard Marriott on fifth Avenue and oak street in Portland I realized someone named me had made a very great mistake? What's the you are thinking and of course wanting to know of right? Well it turns out that when we were picking up our suitcases I had happen to have picked up one that was with my folks two thinking of course that it must be mine since it's with ours... it had the other owner's name on a bright yellow tag on it, so all three of us walked back to the Union train station and found out that they had been trying to contact us for the last forty minutes or so.                                                                               With my own suitcase now we caught a metro rail train that has this 

 as it's all day boarding pass. We went a couple of blocks up from the train station to Oak and 5th and walked to our hotel which was on that very block.                                                       After that since still had a lot daylight left we went to go see what was around the whole area since we haven't been here since twenty twelve. We were very heavily saddened and also hurt to see almost a tent and a homeless people everywhere.  We came to the ongoing conclusion that something had happen to people of Portland, Oregon... and not just because of the Covid-19 Pandemic either? It's likely for whatever reason all of their drive has been shattered in spite of their everyday experiences are, these people have lost their attention to continually hope at least it's the only accessible maybe answer that I saw as well as my folks with our own eyes.  It very much reminded me of the reflection of the Star Trek Deep Space Nine two parter in season three titled "PAST TENSE". Here's a pic   

  from one of the two episodes of that name. It is pretty close to what we had seen as I said before except for it being in the state of Oregon instead of California. Then we went an realized that with the way the weather is here in Portland, Oregon overcast and windy that I went an forgot to grab one of my hoodies to keeping myself warm during times of besides it being to cool outside in California or even on the the rest of our times on the train before we come back to home in Richland, Washington.  So took the free all day transit to Lloyd's center and walked to Ross and found nothing,  then we went a few window displays of Forever 21 trying to find the way into the  store, we finally did figure out where it was and we took the elevator to the second floor and started looking around on the rack of discounted men hoodies and shirts.  It was then when Chuck found this really cool underground hoodie and said " I bet that they will be wondering at Adventures Underground where you got this?", I of course tried it on an it fits me perfectly.  And I said " I am sure that it's not from them but it very cool in its design and they might be wanting one." And here's   

     what it looks like. I'm pretty sure that since we have one more full day here in Portland,  we will be doing some very important searching of a certain bookstore?, that is if it is still around as well...                                                                                                                          Of course before I ever forget that today's the first day of May,  I have to remember that each month I go and show you all my monthly wallpapers for when I go and trun on my tablet and phone that these are them from my tablet.  When I was opening it through out the month of April twenty, twenty three I was seeing this 

A gif of K.I.T.T. from the nineteen eighties television series known as KNIGHT RIDER that I found on the Pinrest website. The only thing it didn't do was go and move like how we are seeing it right now on my opening lock screen. Then as with keeping with the eighties and Manchines that were even bigger than a artificial intelligence car a few years earlier were the war between robots that were always in 

 well disguise known as Autobots and Deceptions here's what was on my main screen when I got pass my locked screen. The leaders of both factions with their insignias glowing behind them. I call it "Gen one TRANSFORMERS LEADERS Splitscreen". Then since I  am talking about my vacation of this  year, I had this from a couple vacations ago was this mural 

                                                                                                                from Newport Oregon on my phone's lockscreen. An since last month had Easter in it for the month of April I had this set of pinjias seen here 

  of my favorite comic character Spider-Man that I found at Walmart. That was from back in May of twenty, twenty two. As you also know I have to celebrate each new month with a new background plate of the site from the pervious one to and here's the latest one of     

   April, twenty, twenty three. So for sure you all know that my yearly six part history of "How WE KNOW of our universal understanding of our dear loving planet called EARTH. I do hope that if you are on vacation right now, that you are finding time to relax and get some much needed rest before your everyday life returns to working normally at wherever you do work? 

A SPECIES WITH A PLAN TO KILL US HUMANS DEAD!

                                                                                                                  Hello comic loving fans worldwide,               

Here's the first comic from my most recent comic pickup of the first week of April in twenty, twenty three. When I saw this comic at Adventures Underground it just screamed true classic science fiction from a long forgotten era of everything from old time radio programs to finding a way of if you are a kid in the early nineteen forties through the nineteen fifties to getting your hands on banned novels or even banned movies this very comic is for you!  Before we get into the greatness of the mysterious world of PLAN 59 FROM OUTER SPACE number one, I have to remember and remind myself of a certain New York psychiatrist named Frederick Wertham that was admittingly claiming that the things within the four color magazines known as comic books are filled with very undeniably bad influences for young developmental brains. One such example he presented at conference that he had with the United States senate was that a child could completely be convinced that from the character of Superman that they can fly from high places. It was because of his argument of this and other type of influences that the C.C.A. was created. I  will eventually get to what the whole meaning of what the C.C.A. was, for I am just out of curiosity looking  to studying his arguments in his book titled Suduction of Innocent, which I am still trying to decide where I want to purchase it from.                                    Now on with my thoughts and review of PLAN 59 FROM OUTER SPACE  #1. This title is not from the Big Two companies that make comics, nor is it from Image,  Dark Horse or even others of smaller comic publishing companies either. A little less than a year and half ago there were a set of creative people who went and left the BIG TWO comic producers and they went on to create their own products... Wait a quick minute doesn't that sound kind of familiar? What it is that I am referring to is when seven comicbook artists left both Marvel and Decetevice Comics in the latter half of nineteen, ninety one to form their own company, where each of said artists is able to keeping their creations under their own creativity of copyrighted materials. The comic company they forged is IMAGE comics in the early months of nineteen, ninety two. The creators this time  around aren't illustratiors like back then over thirty years ago, but are writers their creative imprint is called SUBSTACK comics.  

       PLAN 59 FROM OUTER SPACE is from the SUBSTACK imprint and is crafted from the minds of Michael Dolce (story), James Mascia (story &script), Joaquin Gonzalez (artist), Daniele Caramanico (colorist), Taylor Esposito (lettering), C.B. Zane did the wonderful cover. The retail price is $ 4.99, as far as I know this series has only a newsstand print of the cover, as to if there's any direct comic store version I don't have any knowledge at all.   The story starts out with a woman named Paula who talking to her fiance about his work whilst listening local news about the local police officer has gone completely missing... Paula's fiance goes off to work. Before going to bed she hears of a unidentified flying object in another part of California. While sleeping she is attacked by mysterious beings...      Now she is attacked by everyone in the whole town? When apparently only a man who survived her assault ended up in one one town's many graveyards and is taken by huge unidentified flying object, say what?  

    All that we as readers know is, that whatever has just happened is it a dream that Paula's been having from R.E.M. sleeping or is there more to this as we find out that whoever is maintaining oprational control of yet an unseen UFO are trying to find her specifically!  

Throughout this comic that I read, I have to say that the story really did make me see of how evey kind of genres are able to be a creative perspective of never just one single thing, and you the reader are just done with a twenty two pages of words and illustrations that give us a yarn of many given thoughts on how grand a tale of possible power can be used... While I was witnessing both joy and excitement of maybe an opportunity for aliens to conquer the planet earth in a new way that hasn't been a way they have ever tried before, I was glad that I got to see some other plans that these aliens have been using before but have dropped their hand each time because... well let's just say because for now as a open answer! I loved how it in its own way also felt like there should have been a very offbeat Mystery Science Theater commentary track, within the comic itself... 

              

So should I or Shouldn't I?

Hello All,                                                                                                                                                        So without any doubt I will admit that today's suppose to be full of great puns throughout the course of the whole day... but for the first time in many years for the life of me I can't seem to find a joke worth needing to share. Since I can't find a pun worthy of needing to be told, what is worthy of being here is something that I haven't gone too as far as I know since back when Lyle my brother had passed away in twenty thirteen or rather just shortly after!                                                                                                                              Okay just to let you know that it was my biological brother Michael's, goodness that as I may have said before that got me into this particular online game called Star Trek Timelines. It was in early April back in twenty fourteen or it was mid April that he gave me my greatest addition outside of comic collecting which I will admit is my own choice when I was a teenager. I am just so excited about where I am in the Star Trek Timelines game and I want to just talk about it!                                                                                                                The very simple way to explain the overall background of the online game known as Star Trek Timelines goes back to an new online game builder called Distributor Beam whose Chief of Executive operations had contacted the Paramount licensing company through their parenting network company for airing their ongoing productions over live television that is Columbia Broadcast Systems back in the earlier months of twenty fourteen about making a strategy online game from their well established known science fiction series called Star Trek. It was launched in April of twenty fourteen and was structured to have many different types of game play availability such as having a basic crew from any of the various series of the original series to Enterprise and all of the movies, from the Star Trek the motion picture to Star Trek Nemesis of the last film by the next generation cast as well. Distributor Beam was able to get the rights to use lines of dialogue from all of the various Star Trek series from CBS television and Paramount studios to use for certain versions of main characters in the game.                                                 I still remember when I started my version of the game I chose to be mostly medical staff for my ship and for my choice of captain  was Benjamin Sikso from Star Trek Deep Space nine with the card seen here. 

I can tell this card has three sound clips as I mentioned just a moment ago, one of those lines of dialogue is "I'M NOT PICARD" Sisko said this to the ongoing foe of Jean Luc Picard from the DS9 episode "Q-LESS" of season one of the series. This card is a uncommon crew with a green boarder around it, there are blue, purple,gray, and of course Legendary in the color Gold.                                                                                                                                     For the last nine years of playing this game, it has had one change of who runs the programming of the group known as Distributor Beam to Tilting Point, which happened on March twentieth, in twenty, twenty Tilting Point created a sub brach to run Timelines called Wicked Realms games. They have added in the last three years of adding crews from everything from Star Trek Discovery to the current stuff of Picard to the animated series called Lower Decks. The amount of characters throughout the whole game as of right now is one thousand and three hundred and forty seven, of which I happen to have six hundred and thirty seven of the characters of varying varieties among the colors I mentioned of before. The only part of the Star Trek productions that are not included with in the game are the three Star Trek films by JJ Abrams and his film production studio known as Bad Robot. Yet they do allow for his other former coworkers have their created series of the science fiction franchise have their characters like Michael Burnham seen here 

from Star Trek Discovery how odd huh?                                                                                                     On the card of Burnham at the Jump seen above, it is at hundred percent complete, expect that I have to build her last four boxes on the right of side of the card to immortalize the card itself. After doing this by doing away missions or spaceship battles the card will have the space background similar to the Promoted Sisko one. Now nine years later into the game I am about to hit another warp experience of excitement in this game itself that I am really wanting to be sharing about!                                                                   As for the meaning of this very post title of  "So should I or Shouldn't I?" relates to my current place in my game board of S.T.T.L. looks like this. 

What you're looking at here is my current ship that I am using within the game. It's was created by Wicked Realms the ship's name is U.S.S. RODDENBERRY with it's restrigy number being NCC-7100, it was released back in twenty twenty one to celebrate the man who came up with Star Trek as a idea way back in the mid nineteen sixties on his centennial day of being born, on August nineteenth, nineteen twenty one. His nlame was Gene Roddenberry so the game paid homage to him with a ship named after him. Here is 

  the resigty and name up close. To me with me, being the biggest Star Trek fan that this very ship is pretty close to being formatted even the game is very close to the other starship known as the Reliant that Admiral Kirk and the Enterprise crew faced through out the second big screen adventure known as Wrath of Khan. Or maybe it could be a potential possible Next Gen forthcoming Star Gazer from when Picard is a first officer in Untold Next Gen stories I am also thinking that way too, about it. 

                           Anyway onward with what the true massive meaning of this very entry comes down to is that I know very shortly or maybe a long way is possible, I am about to reach level one hundred on the area in the left corner of the screen.  Right now here is the character icon 

seen here or rather this is a full view of the Breen soilder I been using since I had my last birthday when I turned just fifty last year as my game icon. The Breen characters happen to have a long history in the next generation part of Star Trek lore. My quest for thought that I am wanting your help with is which of these four seen here                                           

The top one is Balock from the original series episode The Corbomite Maneuver. Which featured Happy Days star Rod Howard's little brother Clint who portrayed the Balock,  who was in search of a campion while he explored space. This character is available in the Q gauntlet and is very much a rarity to getting in Timelines. Then my second top choice is The professor better known as James Mortarirty who is the arch rival of Sherlock Homles. Which was portrayed by Daniel Davis in "Elementary Dear Data" and "Ship in a bottle" of TNG series. My main Third choice of choosing for my character icon is an in game created version of Mirror Universe Data. Finally my main other choice that I am deciding on is a character from the never shown pilot of Star Trek known as "The Cage" that had an alien race known as the Talosians (which I have been promising to review of, for a very long time, because I have been meaning to also start an over view  of the whole series for a few years now...), the one seen here was their leader The Keeper. Who even knows I might go and just find myself surprising us all with who I actually decide on choosing for my character icon by my level bar?                                                            Now as to the actual pun on this day of foolish puns from me Matt is finally getting here after a rewarding review of my way out online activities besides writing this very little thing called Daylifeofthematt. Even though I have recently just gotten done watching my favorite anime series from when I was back in the early part of my elementary schooling years known as Star Blazers, well here's the juicy joke of it all on my tablet when I was opening my tablet I was greeting was this. 

The promotional poster for Beforever Yamato,  and then when I was looking at my screen of my tablet for the month of March I was literally blown away each day because of the newest version of the fictional version of the Yamato was firing it's most powerful weapon known as the planet killer possibly                                                                                      

their weapon known as the Wave motion Gun from the newest series called Star Blazers 2202... which is a retelling of the Comet Empire portion of the series. When I went an opened my phone over the month of March was this  

the exact same image of the promotional poster from the second big feature anmaited flim of the Yamato's adventures in the home country of Japan in the early nineteen eighties. But this time it's the full poster with Derek Wildstar and Nova as we Americans know them, but who is the girl on the left side of Derek is who? Well without any doubt I don't know either but that is not true either it turns out that she is Sasha Wildstar his niece. If you are thinking that even though it is April Fool's day that Matt joker guy wouldn't be so obvious to say that his main wallpaper on his phone is the exact same of the Yamato firing it's wave motion gun.....    

Umm well YES and NO at the same time. In the end of the day of snickering,  I only truly know that from both images of the wave motion gun firing is superiority bright and is eye blindly cool. To getting a lot closer to ending this amazing entry I want to show you all the main game load screen of Star Trek Timelines 

so this has a bit of everything of Star Trek in it from Next Gen vessels in a ongoing fight with the Doomsday Manchine from the original series. Which I think is eventually able to get in the game playing throughout a subsequent part within the game! Oh before I leave you to your own jokes I don't want to forget to share the background plate of the month     

    of  March! And you do know what it refers to or I hope that you do!

Count Down till aging on the 24th pt.4 of ?

 Hello All,                                                                                                                                                      Hey I want to say here and now like I said just yesterday, when I was posting my first one of these set of youthful messages in the forum of reflecting memories of when I was a tykesiter was originally supposed to be for last year when I Matt was aging to a half century marathon which is of course when one turns the BIG FIVE OH. Still I am going to make my best effort to post as many of my old memories that I am capable of well recalling is all and with that being said let's continue onwards....                                                      All that I really have to say for the most part of growing up I and my family of my mom, and my brother Michael and my sister Kylie really had mostly two home states that we resided in expect for that my brother and I were birthed in North Carolina in the city of High Point... my sister Kylie was born here in Richland,  Washington. Any way the other state we grew up when we were very young was my mother's home state of Georgia... 

Each time of when we flew into Atlanta from nineteen seventy nine till nineteen eighty four, when we left from the airport instead of heading straight for my grandparents home in Macon, Georgia they took us to the theme park in Atlanta of Six Flags and we would spend at least a couple of hours there. We would expense all of our having to stay in our seats during the cross country airplane flights we took to get there to Georgia. Our trips were always in the summer time of the year after all three of us children had finished our given school year and we were there for a two week period of time. 
   While at Six Flags we would ride our favorite rides and eat lunch or a snack of some sort like an ice cream cone. Then we would head as I said to their house and it turned out that the distance from their house to Atlanta is about if I am recalling it right about a two an a half hour drive to Twenty first street.... I remember for me of the two Sundays that I was visiting I would go to church with my grand dad and his sisters and learn why Jesus and God matter and even though now all of them have joined each other in heaven the one gift that I am always thankful for is getting  to know who Jesus is not only through the church but with my actual family as well.

Hey, Hey, there All,                                                                                                                                         Can anyone tell me Matt that you are able to come up with a very interesting set of ideas of talking about your past up until your birthday is a bad thing?, well I know that deep down inside you all are wondering how can you do it besides showing a photo or more at a time and just yabber on like it truly does matter. I believe in my inner soul that when we have our own special day that is meant especially and essentially for each human being to realize we have a chance to explore a set of new things in our next evolving day for our next three hundred and sixty five days which equals a whole year of time, or if it is a leap year every four years of experiencing existence.                                             For all intent and purposes, before I reveal my set of pictures that I really have a lot to say in great detail I want to say that I know why most humans are born!  There are many different reasons for why some females decide to have offspring and I am going to be hopeful that mostly what my thoughts and reasoning are of course a positive reflection for why births are meaningful to us as a species. I just hope that I don't disappoint your or my way of why life matters?! Of course after all that's the very meaning of this very series....                                                                                                                                                           Here is four photos of my mother's grandmothers from each of her parents side of the family. 

Okay I will admit that I had meant for it to be viewed with it in reverse of how it looks,  but anyway I don't think it matters either way of how my real understanding does come across. The ones on the left are of my mom's dad's mother we her great grand children knew her as Big Mama!, then there is the ones on the right my mom's mother and we grand kids knew her as Mama Jessie! We as far as I know didn't know either my mom's grandfathers as I know for certain.  Although I do know that even though it was so very long ago I remember viewing a old black and white photograph that had Mama Jessie's husband in it around nineteen eighty.  I also remember that she had a parakeet little bird that she let me feed once when we were visiting her at her home. There is two things that both of my great grandmothers had in common and of what I am talking of first that I can really remember about Mama Jessie is that she and her husband were married in their teens. I just remember her age was fourteen. As to my mom's dad's mother Big Mama, I never did find out what her age of when she was married?                                                                  To say what is the main focus of this very entry will be absolutely the top two pictures of myself Matt, my brother Michael and my sister Kylie Byrd with our mom's dad's mother Big Mama, and also the one beside it of a four generation of Kylie with her grandmother Evelyn Day Powers, her mom Nancy Powers Byrd at the time of when the photo was taken,  and of course her great grandmother Mama Jessie Day that one was taken in nineteen eighty when we were visiting my grandparents that year. The other one that has Big Mama was in nineteen eighty five. As to how does these two wonderful women fit into the earlier part of this very post of Do people of other generations want their kids to go on and have a legacy of a huge lineage in their continuous family history...                                                                                                                                                           I will at least say this on the very subject of how many families that I know really do hope that they as both providers and protectors, hope that from each lesson that their children learn in the way of life does help those wanting children to be wise and full of humbleness. Both a mother and a father need to have two important things before starting a family they need to have a occupation and a stable place that they know as home. Oh and third before having those two very vital things of beginning a future together please dear goodness please most importantly of all be plentiful in your own daily relationship with each other, make sure for certain that your bound between each other is stronger than tracing paper. For sure you'll undoubtedly can still find uncertainties in our everyday evolving evolution just during those given times find it in yourself to fight the ways of the temptations of the world is what I am trying to say,  because if their's one person who knows of that themselves it's ME and I WILL ADMIT IT.                 So what was that other one thing of two that I had mentioned before that my great grandmothers had in common besides getting married before there were laws in place to say that we as a species have to be at least closer to adulthood... well what it was that they both were addicted to was chewing tobacco and always had their spiting can with in reach of themselves. As well besides both them besides living close to eighty or ninety years old as best that I can remember they didn't die because of that very addiction. The one very important thing that I do know that both of my great grandmothers are very proud of in a humbling way is that their family lineage is still going strong even though they are no longer here themselves to seeing it.

 Hello All,                                                                                                                                                        Well  it began earlier than you may think of ?, with each of these I truly feel that besides using my brain and a good lot of photos that maybe have been seen here before and others that have never been shown as of yet I Raymond Matthew Byrd am hoping to be able to share memories of my many years of living life. Now as to when I started this memorable roll of down a little long ago legacy started in the wee hours of this very morning.... oh snap, I hopefully am not to tired to making sense out of this very one.                               We are going to go to the part in my memory that in essence really only as I said earlier a set of pictures can tell... but I will try my hardest to put words from both my mind and heart as to how best to make this one matter as much as all the rest of these will to. One very important thing that I will be honest about here is for many, many, many years of any length of time, that I have felt that I really am older than dirt or time itself ( I will explain about why in some way before I am done with this whole series if not in this very post itself). Here are the three pics...  

I guess I really do mean four pics that I know are my given subject matter which is learning of new things when you or rather me being so full of  youthfulness.                                      All I know about these pictures is in a way each of them are showing what it was like of learning very hard stuff at that given set of time like in the first one with my mom holding up her hand I am either understanding how to count with my whole hand to five, or how to wave, maybe even it is possible that I am learning how to grasp a simple thing in my hand. More than likely I am learning to wave I just bet. The second pic is of me Matt at the age of (maybe latter three, or latter two), talking to my newest added member to the Byrd family tree my brother Michael, while my mom is holding him... I might as well admit that I probably still didn't know all about words and names so I'd called him "second M, since I was first M of our family" and thought of it that way if I were in a mood of who knew what? There's something very special in the background on the wall that I have in storage.                                                                                                                                  In the third picture, we are seen outside of my mom's parents house she is holding my infant baby brother Michael and our dad Michael Joe Byrd is holding me his first son. We at this small amount of time in my life had only lived in High Point, North Carolina and Columbus, Georgia that time frame was nineteen seventy six and then we were a few months later around early seventy seven we were heading to Washington state to a small town known as Richland where we lived Cottonwood street for a couple months,  when a new development area of Richland opened up in a new part of town known as Hoxie Avenue.                                                                                                                                                              As for actual inner meaning of the fourth one of Michael and Myself by the closet as our Grandma Evelyn Powers is coming to put away her pruse we both had something of a goofy surprise for her or was it a surprising secret by how my hand is completely covering my mouth. I wanna say it was a surprising sercet that we were taking my older cousin Brad Powers and them for an adventure up to Canada. (Oh that trip is a meaningful memory that I can never forget because... well it will be here somewhere  let's just  say.) Or maybe it was that we had a new puppy named Scruffy.  What this very set of meaningful memories brings back to my mind is learning takes time to understand and is greatly appreciated by me Raymond Matthew Byrd to be understanding of true faith in family bonding!                                                                                                                           To be even more fascinatingly continued for sure.... 

Count Down to aging on the 24th pt 1of ?

 Hello everyone,                                                                                                                                          Well without any doubt as you all can see it's completely common knowledge around these parts that the month of March for all intended purposes is my birthday plague time in a way, no not really, but like most who enjoy each moment of each day for what it is I really try to have this month be my BIGGEST challenge in the way of growth is so much an interesting investment. By this I mean that for me Matt, I get a chance to explore why I cherish great memories from as far back as I can honestly truly remember... yet with this upcoming year being my time to get back to having a number one at the end of my time of being around in age, I was thinking what could I possibly do for a brief special lead in to that upcoming age that I really have not done before?                                                                      I really want to devote my words of wisdom in the next coming weeks of to my fifty reasoning of why aging is very great. Now what I will admit to is that these reasons are not in a way precision perfection, yet maybe for those whom are my elders you may as well find something worthwhile that can bring Back memories of your own youth in your own daily lives and I don't mean any distant distractions if your feelings are unaffected in some way because at the end of every day your life choices are your own expressions of your existence.                                                                                                                                               Now just so that you and I will know of these fifty memories are not gonna be ranked in a big deal format as to which one is the "BEST OF" or the "WORST OF" and some of these may have been mentioned before in other posts here and I can say it will help me in just helping myself out to understand who I Matt Byrd am deep down inside of my soul...                                                                                                                                                                   So let's just jump into memory lane with number fifty out of FIFTY:                                                   If my very first shared memory out of my FIFTY to leading to my upcoming year of turning  an impactment of FIFTY ONE in twenty, twenty three were not to include the two people seen here                         

 with my brother Michael and my sister Kylie and of course myself, as well then I am going to admit without Evelyn Day Powers and her husband Benjamin Powers we all three of us wouldn't know the meaning of what FAMILY is absolutely about. They were my mother Nancy Powers Watson's parents and they treated each of the three of us kids with the greatest lessons of knowing what love is really about. Before I get to far into more content of this very meaningful memory I have to say look at My and Michael's heads we did actually have our own hair. When this was taken I want to say around nineteen eighty two we were at our dad's sister's Betty Arey and her husband Ted's home out oin West Richland, Washington for Thanksgiving dinner. We got to see my cousins Bruce and his wife Susan and their kids, and their two uncles Sean Arey who was just out of high school at the time and was getting ready for college.  An their other uncle who is a couple months younger than me and his name is Marc Arey. I remember that the Arey's had an Atria 2600 and I at least remember playing the KA-BOOM! game on their system and Astorids, but especially Pac-Man or Pitfall at the time. Maybe they also had colecovision system that was released in nineteen eighty two around the time the photo was taken on that system they had more sport type games especially Golf because the whole Arey family loved the game. They also had ownership in West Richland Golf course around this time I believe.                                                                                                                                         If you are wanting to ask me personally as to if this memory was worth sharing you bet it was for it was one of two times that both sides of my mom and dad's families were kind to each other. The other will be later on this very list. Now as to what it was that I did have on My tablet when during the month of February for when I turned it on was a blend of my two top favorite science fiction series with this                                               

           Of all the main Star Trek characters from the nineteen seventy three animated cartoon series by flimation studios that later did HE-MAN and the Masters of the universe cartoon series almost to a tee a decade later in nineteen eighty three to nineteen eighty five. Which is roughly the same amount of years...and I will come back to how HE-MAN and the Masters of the universe in a past post that I have to celebrate that character's forty years of being around.  Star Trek's animated series came before any of the actual Star Trek films. What's truly amazing about this image is someone came up with a way to love their two favorite science fiction series with a blend of the two combined.  There happens to one odd choice for one the characters seen here, I can only come up with this for a answer is that fan loves the color of Pink.....  to myself there is nothing wrong with that at all. Now as to what I want to say about my phone images that I am going to be sharing was it has been a bit of a while since I remembered doing this? On my phone when I was turning it on  during the entire month of February was this :

     A signed copy of the very last issue of his final work for Marvel comics of the character that shot comic artist Todd McFarlane into the stratosphere was his work on the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN from late nineteen eighty seven till eighty nine. Then Marvel gave him his own title of abjectless SPIDER-MAN from late nineteen eighty nine till May of nineteen ninety one. Then he and four other creators left both Marvel and Decetevice Comics and had three other artists join them in creating their own impressive properties, with his being of course Spawn at the company they created known as IMAGE comics.  When  I was looking at it on my phone screen I had it zoomed in on Spidey swinging at me. As to when while looking at my main screen of my tablet after turning it on I went and keeping myself in touch with my most current postings I went an used this                                              

, an image that I had found over this past summer into fall of what looks like the Yamato in a newer form other than the Star Blazers series that I remember as a child in a more I guess kind of a computer generated warping through space...this was of course before I had found out about Leiji Matsumoto's unexpected passing last month right before Valentine's day.

Finally before I reveal what I had on my phone's main screen after opening it let me just remind you that yours truly has a lot of gigantic plans for this year...also recall I am planning on doing a whole review of each episode of a television series that let's have what I had on my phone try to explain it without much else than this. 

A woman or maybe a young girl who knows for sure?, is opening a door into a certain fifth dimension if you dare imagine being in the TZ better known as the Twilight Zone.

          Before I plan on leaving thinking of what my continuing thoughts throughout my life are for you all, I want to reveal my site's background plate of another big thing that I have on my brain of late and here it is 

 a universal understanding of our planet earth. So once again I am off to remembering of my years of livelihood to celebrate an anniversary of age!                                                                             To Be Continued for a long while.....
