Boy where to start with my step tracking for this month is well kinda uneasy for unlike the past few months I have been keeping track has been really lacking, hence the main Big reason(s) you already know but I still should of course be focused on it is all that I'm getting at with the Turkey referral is really poor. Here we go with it all the same you know I put S:= Steps I had taken and D:= Distance and like the end of last month I'm still weighting myself so once again W:=weight. At the end of this post I give you my reasoning behind adding the weight to my monthly excising count and I feel you would like know as well.

Why is it that I have been having such deep concerns about the issue with my weight isn't that am I healthy or not?, and like I was saying from my last doctor visit it was also something very much I had wanted to know about. I'll have to wait even longer I think of getting touch with my doctor because I had plan to call his office on Friday last week, then with this week being as I said yesterday up early & off earlier in the day this whole week, I'll make the call tomorrow and I'm writing this to remind myself as well as you all.
Now I really am serious about this I work all week at eight in the morning that almost NEVER HAPPENS???, so what will I do with myself?, I'm thinking maybe watching this little show those who know me will know what I'm talking about without a hint, but for those of you who don't know me as well here is a 
clue. Right now on the second channel 42-2 on the antenna hey with your BIG Screen 42 incher of a TV why the heck don't you have cable or maybe even a satellite dish huh?, well to answer your question I don't want either of them, and I'm fine with what I do have. I can read more this week for since before my dad's happenstance and even before that I just haven't been in a want to read type of mode for a very long time. Also that movie I have been promising myself for the past few weeks maybe fun to go see, I just have to decide on which one it will be now that I have the time. I can get back into jolting more about "Clone of Me" down in long hand too. I can get back to drawing to if I want as well or even go to Club 24 this whole month I haven't been there and that's not good on two fronts one being I could have used all the time in the latter part of this month to be productive to staying fit till spring which is my goal with them anyhoo, but I paid them money for NOT using the facility at all which is the whole downside to it all. Or I can just watch a DVD movie here at the house, Superglue galore you know I have enough for new movie or TV series for every night of the whole blasted year if I wanted to! So why was I ever feeling like my life would ever be empty without my father around I just don't know for all I do know is every darn day in it's own way is a Whole New Adventure....So I'm bound to find something to do with my free time sometime this week right O !!??!!
Now where to start with this would be, that this is most definitely about the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN newspaper daily strip on two fronts. If we can take a moment to grieve with May Parker for a second and realize that Stan Lee is at last for a great long time not had Aunt May in the strip in at least (now this isn't including the storyline with Peter and Mary Jane being single people because of a still very awful attempt to please the writers & editors at Marvel comics till this very day which started in the latter part of two thousand and eight), in fact I'm NOT sure when she was last in the newspaper strip normally. Here Stan is addressing May being alone since the death of her beloved husband Ben Parker which brings for me as a reader of the daily strip a lot more understanding of wanting so much to finding a young lady to care about in some way since I'm still dealing with my dad's death from earlier this month. Now when Stan started telling these newspaper adventures way back in nineteen seventy seven he had May smitten by Spider foe Doc Ock for the time he loved that comic book dynamic of Gerry Conway (you all should know what he was famous for in Spider-Man history), had Aunt May falling for the mad multi tentacled foe in a caring type of way that almost led to marriage,
so Stan started playing up that angle of Parker's greatest foe shacking up with his aunt in the daily newspaper strip as well. So I'm just wondering WILL we get a great match up of a fight between Doctor Octopus and ol Moley who has the sweet old lady here to marry in his underground kingdom. It would be a shame if Stan didn't at least give this little yarn an ultimate twist in that kinda way. So what is the second front I happen to be referring to about this strip your asking right?, Well if all of you can recall a post from last November entitled "A gem indeed worth sharing about" I was talking about this
book that has the Newspaper strips from the very beginning and truly I have only read it up to the start of the third story arc's start, that was back in the earlier part of this year sometime in January or maybe it was in March I'm not sure really, but reading this right now while I'm sorting out my own unsureness of how to deal with my dad not here will be good for me in recalling why I loved him. Not because of the stories mind you, it will help to see my dad as a hero like he really was a man with his own share of problems in his life and understand in my own way his decisions as best as a dad he could make for himself. Also the reason I want to read this is because they are all black & white including the normally "Sunday strip", like today's is in color above, but when they get to these stories, (who knows what the volume # will be), it will be as it should be according to story boarding before they go to print. Here is what I get to look forward to at some point
in what story this is I'm not sure?, but I know it will be fun to read something about Spider-Man that is consistently better than the monthly comic put out by Marvel for now at any rate.
Hey how is this for an idea?, you all recall my blog a few weeks ago about the numerous amount of images I have to name in my picture folders from my computer right?, well I either yesterday or on Turkey day got to thinking wouldn't it be cool if I Matt made my own kinda movies from my computer. About a year or two ago I ran across a movie clip of something I wanted from off of the internet it was free to download the clip, so I wasn't stealing it or anything like that. I had made a short movie from three other clips that were included with the first one. I of course forgot all about how to put the fragmented clips together for a very LLLLOOOONNNNGGGGG time. Then just recently I found something else in another movie fragmented set of clips and that is when it hit me as I was making that set of film clips into a streaming video I found that I could use pictures as well to make something of my own uniqueness. I found out I can add my own narration and background music as well. So I thinking this will be a fun way to still lift me out of my numbness in feelings of my father's passing. Here is what the title is gonna be "Spidey comic origin history, a homemade story by one his biggest fans" it will have this photo
to start the tale . I will most certainly let you all know when I have it posted at YOUTUBE. For I do know I can publish it to the web, but as you also know it won't be streaming here at Blogspot.com for I already found out several times uploading here is a real pain when it is in a movie type of format. So please wish me luck, OK?
I have two BIG THINGS that are happening today. What could they be?, your inquiring right especially when you see someone talking about their doctor visits, well besides that at ten in the morning today will be my first day back to work at Albertson's since my father's funereal last Saturday. So this week for me has been mostly uneventful for the most part. My doctor said that everything seems normal of what it should be for a person who has changed their eating habits to decrease their sodium intake, after having a grand maul seizure that are what the kind I have had in the past are known as. My doctor had told me of what he was looking for from doctor Ernest D. Madarang who was the hematologist who I saw back in September on his inquiring, to see if my Red blood cell count was normal now as to oppose to that date back in June when I had that said seizure. It is back to normal for now, I was also wondering still of my dream state (or what is referred to as R.E.M. Rapid Eye Movement during sleep), I was curious of why since I'm now taking only one seizure medication why am I NOT able to access it, I told him "should I ask the neurologist Micheal Freedman again about the dosage of the Keppra I'm taking?, (which is two pills of 500mgs each day) and if the dosage is to high shouldn't I be able to dream at least a little. I didn't tell my doctor I had just had my father pass away and really this is why I'm wanting to dream. He said "yes asking Micheal Freedman would be of great help. He was happy that I wasn't still on the other seizure drug known as Dilantin which he said "was a lot more unstable than Keppra which is a more reliable form of seizure medication," especially for my case. My liver function is good, but my cholesterol level is a bit up and I told him of my veggie omelets that I make he thinks I should cut back on those to one a month. Here's what I think that small elevated level of cholesterol is from for right now, I've been slightly off my diet because of my dad's passing but I know that isn't right to eat crazy even slightly because I'm still stressed over it. I'm NOT letting it get the better of me though I promise you that! I am to have a liver enzymes test which includes a cholesterol part as well once every year my next one will be in August of 2011. There is a separate liver enzymes test for every six months I need to take as well (I'm not sure if the test is any different at all?, but it's follow up is in February. I also forgot to find out when I need to schedule my next appointment with doctor Abdulrahman so after Thanksgiving which is next Thursday by the way, I'll call them on that Friday I keep forgetting one thing or another to talk to doctor Abdulrahmn about, the most important that I know I must know for myself is "Where am I Matt shooting for in actual weight lost for a rounded area to be sure to stay in?"
Now how odd would that be?, say is this a Twilight Zone type of thought of yours Matt?, Not at all a few years ago when I was surfing the internet I came across this image
,which had me thinking for a very long time "If God created the world in a certain way why did He choose a sphere shape of roundness. Why are all the planets that way can't one be vastly different like all of us that He created in his own image? I keep thinking of that Sunday school song when I think of this, you know the one I'm talking about right? Well for those of you NOT IN THE KNOW this
might help jog your train of thought to the song I'm referring to is simply known as "HE HAS THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS". As I said tough with the design of the whole universe does "The creator" there are some of you whom may take offense as "GOD as being the one who made the design of life, and I respect that is all that I'm getting at!, nothing is wrong in your view of how you interrupt things, you see things as you know is right for you ". So the universe is a vast complex puzzle of many things right so whatever or whoever put it together knew the grand scheme of many such thoughts would bear fruit of many kinds of knowledge related to the history of how everything began so very long ago
. Was it planned that all things in creation lead to more questions no matter of all the answers a individual sought as well? I Matt believe, that in someway but not the only way is how a person find imagination for creating stories or paintings like this
comes from NOT only other peoples ideas but also wishing and wanting to be creative in their own way. I did nothing of the sort of being sidetracked just now for how would it be if all things created have their own look about them and style in their own said way. The designer of life for all we know could have imprinted their stamp on life on earth here by seeing it as well this
maybe? who really knows?, but for me I keep thinking what if the whole cosmos and every planetoid within it is suppose to have it's own unique look and all I keep coming back to in my head is a planet earth that is well rather cubed shaped. 
Maybe why I think this as well, is because I've overloaded my own imagination on stuff of science fiction and comic book super Dogooders in my head so much among other things as well.
Hey, Hey, am I a spider monkey you never really know do ya", isn't that the way that old song by the group known as the Monkies should have be written maybe I am reaching to far for a answer to that one, but I'm really glad to have a day shift at Ably's today. Why?, you ask?, later today my sister Kylie whom I wrote about yesterday will come to pick me up and we or I Matt will be going through some of my dad's (Micheal Joe Byrd) stuff that he had as memories from his own life. Now my brother Micheal & she had gone through what they were wanting yesterday I was at work at the time of while they were there at Charbnneau. Let's follow one of Micheal Byrd's grand children name Bryce 
as he leads the troops of his mother and uncle to "Grampi's" room
at Charbnneau. Kylie told me that his place was in pieces of stuff scattered around the place, when we got into there I saw what she meant. Once I was looking around in there I could see how much of my dad I knew from growing up of pictures he had on his walls and his many things like his mounted ducks to his fishing jacket. One thing little Bryce helped me with was he held out my dad last remaining fishing license,
which I found in his glass topped coffee table, to stuff I knew nothing at all about my dad like a Ducks unlimited plague he had that also had a army knife but it held some very special inside it as well his wedding ring to my mother Nancy "powers" Byrd/now Watson. This will be part of the many things shown at his service on Saturday morning (well I guess you all know what Saturday's posting WILL BE ABOUT, even before it ever gets here....) The one thing I got that I wanted really was this a portrait
of my name sake Raymond Byrd now my aunt Betty may have wanted this herself "But we as dad children get first choosing of what's there is in his house" as Kylie said. When Bryce found this
he said "Boy uncle Matt you do love Spider-Man don't ya?" This I had done from a comic cover from when I collected the many different series of Spider-Man back in the day! Kylie wanted one photo
that I should have a little more rights to - more on this in another blog for some other time- "But I don't care really I don't." During this time my sister was on the phone
with our mom all the way in Cuenca Ecuador.
Kylie had said to her mom that she found some surprising stuff about our dad that we never knew more on that on Saturday as well, I too chatted with mom for a good twenty minutes as well and one final thing or two, I took was this "very special" Holly Bible that my uncle Jim that was dad's older brother gave it to him. Why is it "very special" your wondering right well, it has actual newspaper clipped weddings in it. One being my dad's
younger sister Judy and her then husband Mitch Hawkins and a very special wedding announcement of Micheal Joe Byrd and Nancy carol Powers dated March 31,1968 for May of that year. The other thing I got was a class of sixty four reunion T-shirt of thirty five years that on the front has RICHLAND BOMBERS but on it's back is the school's first name 
COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL.
At least with these mementos that I , Micheal and Kylie have we can remember the good times dad had through out his whole life. Truly that what he wants from us to remember of him, right?
As far I know from when I chatted with my sister Kylie last, which was on last Thursday at a little after seven pm for stuff about related to dad's will and what he wanted was very short. She then called me on Friday evening and said she was planning a two day road trip for her
and her son Bryce to get here to the Tri Cities from where they live in California. My dad put Kylie as the one to take care of things for when he moved on, Micheal & his family of his wife Kathie and his two children Heidi & Cannon (who happens to be the same age as Bryce), will be very happy to see each other and yes I too as well will be happy to see Kylie and Bryce again. I just wish as "we" Micheal & Kathie and all of those kids involved with whatever form of sadness that they have for "Grampi" as Cannon called our dad, will be able to be strong for each other in our time of need. Kylie should be getting in touch with Micheal & I sometime later today.
