It is finally here at long last.......
Or rather I should be saying that with today being the start of the year twenty seventeen the whole of the offspring of Michael Joe Byrd and Nancy Carol Powers ( whom now goes by the name of Watson) and their own offspring having a grand overdue celebration known as Christmas
morn from one week ago.
My sister Kylie and her son Bryce left from the Tacoma Washington area on Friday after school and work to meet up with us here over in Richland for celebrating as I mentioned before Christmas and New Years Eve/Day. We started to party hearty at a little after ten am, when Kylie came over from her friend's over in West Richland that she was staying at during last night.
It was this very year that I finally got to feel it was time to add Bryce and Kylie to one very important family tradition that I uncle Matt had started some many years ago with the gift seen here from back in
twenty thirteen with what I have claimed as the ultimate nerdy gift ever "A STAR WARS tee shirt with Darth Vader on it and not always needed but it helps a funny quote of sorts. And the image above her two older brothers is Kylie opening her introductive shirt, which has Vader pointing at you and the shirt says "JOIN THE EMPRIE". Oh and speaking of the real newest shirt for Cannon, Heidi, Kathie, Myself and my brother Michael latest one here he is
holding it up! It happens to be Darth Vader holding above his shoulders "THE DEATH STAR ", I had actually gone and during the early part of last month already knew what I wanted as my general idea for twenty sixteen's funny Vader shirt and on my tablet which I had gotten during my trip to going and seeing the famous craved mountain faces of presidents in South Dakota back in twenty fourteen. Anyway I went and typed in my Web browser "Funny Darth Vader images" and the one that spoke volumes to me was what you see Michael holding up and it still said that I have yet to see "ROUGE ONE A STAR WARS STORY" movie. Anyhoo back to the tale of the Vader twenty sixteen shirts find, was that I had found an online Tee shirt screening place called Spreadshirt.com where I could for the most part make what I wanted. On it's back each shirt in white text it reads "Vader uses the force to protect his small moon that had one tiny flaw? His son blew it to pieces by targeting wamp rats on Tatooine, say what? "
Here are a few of my other gifts that I got as well
as handing out as well. I had also gave away some awesome stuff for my niece Heidi I gave her two other nifty Tee shirts,a fox bank, and some very special pair of unicorn dice. For my nephew Bryce I gave him a BIG collected Star Wars set of three main characters from newly released comics of Lando Calrissian numbers (1-5), Princess Leia numbers (1-5), and Bryce's favorite character of Chewbacca numbers (1-5) in a colleceted trade called STAR WARS :Heroes For A New Hope ". Also I got him a Batman bank, a baseball hat that has the caped crusader which is one of Batman's many well known monikers, and a little metal model of the millennium falcon. For my brother Michael besides the Vader shirts that I gave him and his family a set of Star Trek Next Generation twenty fifth anniversary shirts, and I gave him a Klingon miniseries comic trade that features the "Kelvin Timeline" of Star Trek's alter history basically the newest movies to date, called "STAR TREK MANIFAST DESTINY" and a Next Gen Enterprise model made of metal. Then for Kathie his wife I got her those two shirts , a movie called "GREEN ROOM" which has Patrick Stewart (better known as currently in marvel movies as Charles Xavier and to any Trekker he is the most popular Starfleet captain of the Next Generation ( Jean Luc Picard) it also stars the belated new actor who has played the Alterative Pavel Chekov into the third new movies STAR TREK BEYOND his name was Anton Yelchin, I also got a metal model of the Doctor Who T.R.A.I.D.S. phone booth. For Michael and Kathie's boy Cannon, I gave him shirts, a Doctor Who comic trade called "The Four Doctors" which is of course based on Doctor Who the series, then I gave him a bank of BB8 from STAR WARS VII THE FORCE AWAKENS, and a metal model of an AT-AT Walker from the Empire Strikes back episode. Now I didn't give my sister Kylie just one gift I also gave her these Detective Comics female superhero pajama pants
, to go with her Darth Vader shirt, then I also got her a really neat kind of Alien space monster bobble head from the same place I got those mini Metal Models and Heidi's unicorn dice which was Octopus Gardens in uptown Richland's shopping center. Also when this time of year comes around it is miss Heidi's birthday a few days before the whole year ends I got her the Captain Amreica Civil War film on Blu-ray and I also got her this very awesome pair of
Unicorn princess pajamas not the foot wear though she had those already. After opening up all of our gifts to one another both Kylie and Michael and of course the kids suggested we should get something for everyone like lunch some place. I had went and said "Well why not RED ROBIN, that way anyone taking me home wouldn't have far to go and every one could have what they wanted, everyone was fine with that. So we were heading out to RED ROBIN when a jerk in a Black SUV was going way, way,way, to fast over on the bypass from horn rapids to west Richland, all that can be known for sure was both cars and their occupants were nervous and praying that whoever that Black SUV driver was not going to have any kind of a accident of any kind, but we don't know what happened next for them? All that we know for sure is that it is covering the ground yet again that good ol white ice stuff called snow!
Now let's get into the game of chance, that is called the CHESS MATCH game that I started almost a year and half, more or less..... and throughout the year of last I had it be transporter locked into Star Trek characters and their mostly movie counterparts when it was center on a main crew person of the Federation and Starfleet which were/is the outreaching of planet earth in the whole series. Till last month when I thought it would be ultra nifty to compare the long standing adversaries within Trek lore, I went and truly thought of how to go about making these very much worth reading besides my choices and reasons of why I feel that I seem to truly understand the dark side of storytelling more than just the grand bit of the good guys win and the foes lose, for I know in watching almost everything even comedies right for the moment for me right now. The first fight was between the original first shared race of Star Trek cannon with that of Spock and his Vulcan brothers and sisters called the Romulans
versing the much harsher foes of the Dominion seen here
in much later next Generation they do cross paths in DS-9's main last arc called : "THE DOMINION WAR" . Still to me Matt even though the Dominion are very dark in a lot of ways many true Trek fans may not know this but before the Klingons came to be the ones to hate in a real world sense like we did at the time with Russia in the nineteen sixties...... I know we don't now see a need for distrust with them. The Romlans had first appeared in the first season of the original series in the episode called "BALANCE OF TERROR" in which we learn of some human traits of bigotry on Kirk's bridge, we see a foe who is just as determined as Starfleet in their core stance on the values of life, yet have a means of hiding at anytime while in battle..... and back to the race connections between themselves and Vulcans is shown like a roman coin with the end results showing us the viewers that other players of in controlling powers in the real world do at times know how to understand tension of war just as anyone else does. So which warring fractions are set for February to debate on well I think that thought is why I took so long to write this one really...... and here is my clue for you Peter David wrote a novel of these two seen here
Trelane from the original series from the episode known as "THE SQUIRE OF GOTHOS" VERSUS Q,
from the first episode of what is known by many TREKKERS as the best TREK of them all. The Next Generation! Finally now onto the greatest reveal of all the plate here at the site is one that my niece Heidi will love no matter what and just because it has a unicorn in it no less? I think that it should be known as "Santa's sparing universal rainbow ride across the universe, while trying to be a
Bronco Roy Rogers, well maybe or maybe not?"
Then with last month being that all important time of the year on the twenty fifth of the month with giving of ourselves, and knowing as much of a science fiction lover that I am always.....I had happen to of found this really ultra cool
Santa not only flying over the whole wide world if you will but the entire universe, with one image that says Santa Claus maybe just maybe he is an alien as much as he is a gift giver of presents to all humans no matter if we believe in him or not. So I'm calling this one "Santa's space sleight is really outta sight any questions, anymore questions at all answers lead to his being in need of a true GPS to find out where the north pole is after a long night of work" In truth again with all of my soul I want to wish everyone or anybody who has made it this far in reading my humbled New Years day going ons, without giving in to throwing the towel I applauded you. Here is my New Years resolution for us all, I wish you a very HAPPY 2017, may our lives be full of great kindness and may you all be generous in who you help throughout this coming year.....you may make a life long friend and not even know YOUR AWARENESS OF DOING SO and what can be happier than a new friendship in the NEW YEAR?
