Hello ALL,
I do hope that everyone around the whole wide world that are celebrating Thanksgiving are doing so with truthfully heart felt moments of being with not only your families and closer family friends of friends, but that you are giving praise for everything that has happen for your life this past year up until now. What I'm hoping that will come out of today is a time of rest for everyone that has a family or no one at all standing by their side in life. I'm talking of people who are homeless or have been judged by family need to have someone stand by their side with respect, for today is a lot more meaningful than just thinking of ourselves and the little thing known as tackle football before the big meal or after, it's about being humble in all walks of life and thanking not only our human parents for giving us this grand journey known as life but God as well. Now before my brother came to get me today I took some really interesting photo of myself as you can see here.
I was of course going for being all out goofy or silly to my own take of being the incredible hulk in my own style pretty neat huh? My sister in law Kathie made some mash potatoes after we got to their house because last year I said it was the one thing missing that I really wished we had at her parents place, while this was going on I watched a couple of cartoon series on their Netflik one was the classic just after I was born Star Trek the animated Series and the other as if you needed to guess was Star Was Attack of the Clones animated series I started both from their pilot episodes. When we went to Kathie's parents house we did as we always do sat an chatted for a few moments and then sat around the "L" shaped table seen here
We of course all had some of what we all liked, and after a quick prayer to God for his love to all of us went and dug into even more good stories and filling our bellies with great food. In fact here is what my own plate had on
it, then we spent at least another couple of hours before we even dared go out to the super early BLACK FRIDAY sales at this store
in Kennwick, yet all that we really did was just scope out how crazy it was, and man was it crazy alright but still it seemed rather lite shoppers were out because it wasn't midnight on Friday when all things just go all out mad. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Hello Comic Collectors near and far...............
Well before I get into the heart of the heat of this lifetime of a battle of why comics of every kind matter I want you all see my Facebook profile as I have it right now I have this photo of myself and my hero of comics Spider-Man
with me in a headlock when I was six years old, and this from Amazing Spider-Man volume 1 # 306 when Peter was promoting his self titled coffee table book "WEBS" that were photos he was making a small bit of moo la
when his wife Mary Jane reminds him of why it's great to be a nerd even if you know you are.So how is it when we are kids we love toys of all kinds from action figures to footballs or even books with colorful characters that are both like us even if they have that something extra special about them. Oh and for girls I don't mean to leave out Barbie dolls or that neat homemade gifts from our grandparents who always love us no matter what we aspire to be in life. Some of us who love the characters of comic books may take it over the top for we see our own take of enjoying our friends and their supporting cast grow with us, yet to have when the companies who make the product go and make a wipe of what comic fans have always known to please who it is that is in command is very much a two way crossroad of who will like what they are making. Yet at the same time there are given times when comic companies will find the way to make you like them even if you have put them out to pasture for as a true fan for some reason or other you feel lost in knowing your own inner nerd part of yourself. I know that when I write my reviews of my comics that I'm reading (for which I have yet to come up with a yearly review for 2015, so if your willing to toss out names of any kind I'm ready for suggestions, thank you). The things we as fans of comics of any kind have to remember is we can create our own stories of the many fictional heroes that are out there we don't have to be stuck with what the big dogs or whatever names you want to use when talking of the many comic publishers oh and if you think your only a a fan because of movies and merchandising that is okay as well, just remember without a doubt a comic book can contain anything in it from drama, comedy, to a love story to a fantastic adventure of the exploration of the human condition of what's really neat of what ever you want to think of. Still as I say if you go and walk into writing anything not just comic books be ready for both the horrible distaste as much as the ground breaking worshiping praise from everywhere. Here is in fact every one to look at all of the created characters I'm guessing from Superman to
the most independent comic character known as Spawn . The one thing I would love to wish you is to have the greatest bit of fun in whatever series your currently devouring with a inner smile that your investing hope for many people including yourself!
Hello All,
Today is a very rough day every year for me on this date. I know that I don't really let it be known that today was the day my own father Micheal Joe Byrd passed away from Parkinson's disease. It is never easy when you lose someone that means so very much to us as the truly simple beings we are which is human, I know that when we are hurting from such a loss we at times think "I just don't know what I can do to be myself again, yet our creator of whatever we want HIM to be known as to each of us does gives us hope and reason to go on in this journey called life, at first to us that do hurt don't realize or see it" because we are still grieving for not only ourselves and our family members who knew of them, for the loss one's friends outside of family as well. I know that even though I didn't always say it to him I loved my dad because he was kind enough to create myself, my brother Micheal and my sister Kylie with his lovely wife Nancy Powers Byrd. I think and know that all of those other three persons I just mentioned and two others named Chuck Watson and Merri Mickleson can understand where it is I'm trying to come from with these very words that I'm writing right now.
As I have said before in the past I know that my dad loved me even when he didn't know how to say it he tried from his soul of when talking to me his eldest son, and even when times were hard for him I think he knew that I Raymond Matthew Byrd loved him with more than any words can express for sure. The sure thing that I know for sure is that he wanted to know that his kids could take care of themselves as best we can and "Yes we are doing the best of what we can with lives many challenges in our own ways" is what I would say to him if he were still here on earth right at this moment. Still I know saying this is hard yet very true I still miss you dad even though you have been away for a long while I still know that I love you no matter what.
Hello to all who were being other selves last night,
Okay is the title wrong for this one, well I think the answer could go either way depending on how we look at what yesterday was which was Halloween, which is meant to be both scary and fun for all who love treats as much as we do tricks. The actual meaning of Halloween comes from like everything in a way stories that are told to us to hopefully keep us sleeping the good sleep, although
we do try to do something very special within each yarn we tell, for example we throw in action to offset the romance of a story and then we toss in for good measure some drama in the pacing of a yarn that's when we tell normal stories. When tell frightening ones we throw in anything spooky so that by the end of it we jump out of our skins.This is just one of many of my personal ways or view of understanding Halloween in the modern age, yet the meaning of the candy grabbing holiday is richer than just what I know of it to be.
For example the internet says Halloween was first celebrated as far back as the sixteenth century in other parts of the world , according to WikiPedia, the being someone else part goes that far back. Still besides getting candy for kids which the night is meant to be for elementary school have classroom parties one such game that is played at these school parties is bobbing for apples. Mainly for adult that love the given night known as Halloween have parties with making their houses into a place a ghost of Casper's nature won't tread by not only having a scary graveyard outside the house but also maybe have scary music such as Micheal Jackson's nineteen eighty one classic "THRILLER" is played is enough to frighten a whole lot of us that love "THE MONSTER MASH" , well for myself I love Halloween not only because it is a day to be someone else but also to me I feel that we all need not just a shock of a frightfully good night of guessing who is who under our disguises I think Halloween helps us to know that we don't need to be afraid of the dark. Now just so all of my readers know this year I wasn't able to find one of this character to pose with the one and only
Super Girl this year because in the end for this year besides having the coolest Spider-Man costume around I also got to have Chuck Watson my step father come for a day and it was without a doubt very awesome
indeed. In fact we all had something rather yummy for our tummies at Casa Mia where we had dinner last night,after I had taken Cannon seen here with his friend Jackson
out Trick Or Treating for a little while of time. Now we have two great chess matches two resolve for this month one is of comic book foes the Green Goblin versus Joker and since both of these vile persons ave hurt Mister Wayne and Mister Parker where it hurts them on their emotional souls yet the respected heroes Spider-Man and Batman keep fighting the forces of corruptness I would have to say that for this match
of wits is at a standstill. The other more justified chess match for the month of October was this if you recall Victor Frankenstein's monster against the Wizard of Oz's evil wicked Witch of the west. Now with the results being of who scarred me the most growing up it was Dorthy Gale's dog napping foe of Toto who in OZ was the witch
was who wins this match and you all can understand why! As for the whose stronger in the way of battle for the month of November 2015 I am going say the players are from the forth coming Star Wars movie opening sometime next month in theaters worldwide. Here are the combatants Kylo Ren
(who without a doubt maybe the STAND OUT ORIGINAL CHARACTER of this new trilogy of Star Wars stories I'm thinking?) versus
Finn whom is a traitor of the long dead Empire, perhaps? All that I can really and truly toss out there as a answer to STAR WARS VII"THE FORCE AWAKENS" bring on the best of the best of your movie career "ALIAS" and "LOST" creator J.J. -Abrams.... I'm sure it will be grand to see a Star Wars film done after Jedi and countless books of possible futures (that's quite a lot for sure) I'm wishing you more than gracing luck! Now as to what I had as my other regular game as well for the plate here on the site was this GLOWING Green eyed Jack ol lantern
as my choice for this past month of October. And as to what scary horrible thing did I have giving me chills all month long was a Zombie take on He-Man
and yes I was fueling myself to write good dark tales from it and it worked,very effectvily!
