Been a year in waiting or nearly so....

 Hey All my wondering readers of DaylifeoftheMatt blog,                                                                Boy I have been so very much busy one way or another over this past year with so many new ideas and I will admit that I have been wanting to getting back around to many things over this past year and still feel like I haven't scratch the very surface of where I want to be! Now I will actually admit that I don't live where I used to of at this place seen here 

                                                                                484 Gage Blvd in Richland, Washington and even though the picture is from a few winters ago the reason of why I moved deep down in myself may still feel uncomfortable for me but when I am ready I will let you all know the reasons of why it happened. And no this isn't the main thing that is a year of being reached like the title says.... but before I get completely away from it I will be sharing my new address so if you want to write me I am okay with that if you like. Recently a couple of weeks ago at Barnes and Nobles I had found a very interesting book titled The Superman Wars which I might bring up posting wise sometime near the middle of this very month.                                                                          Actually the very topic that I am definitely been trying to get back to over the past year or more of time is the motion of an moving piece at plastic on top of another which known as when put into a projector is called rodescoping which is the transferred to film and called animation, then is labeled as a cartoon. I want to have a deep conversation about the very cartoons that helped me realize how much I love the medium called art.

For a year of time besides getting around to reading another book related to XIXLLIII of it's also about comics isn't what I really have in mind just yet either. It was around this time last year that I have mentioned something about the various cartoon series that I remember watching as as kid that was meaning to get into the heart of this very entry of my idea for today...                                                                                                                                         I happen to have a couple of questions because they will get even more out of the topic of a whole.... here they are:                                                                                                                 Question one, Sure cartoons are made for kids to get their attention to liking a certain unknowable for their independence minds about a particular product rather if it is for food, cereal commercials, come to my mind in that way of a answer or the said advertisement could be for personal use stuff like toothpaste or shampoo. Yet where most and why a cartoon series is being made is to provide an introduction to a certain set of toys right?                                                                                                                                                        Question two, Are there some cartoons out there no matter what the given genre they      are, do they have to much violence in them for a young developing mind can't understand the difference between make believe and or serious matters of the hearts,  because of recent years and because of the rules being more lacking of late in making a animated feature rather it is a interesting thing to ponder if the viewer is wanting to have an understanding of storyboarding? Or possible storytelling in animation forum.                              So maybe in my way of discussing about animation right now I have gotten off track of wanting to getting to sharing my cartoons like I said above of my favorites from my time as a child....                                                                                                                                      Originally when I was going really get into the first ones of cartoons series that I remember watching as a youngster I was going go with stuff like Bugs Bunny from Looney Toons or anything from the Looney Toons library of cartoons, Scooby-Doo toons, or other Hannah Barbara library as well. Yet I don't have access to viewing those right now,  yet I do have access to all them on Roku if I wanted to do it all in chronological order as I saw them...                                                                                                                                    Right now with all the hype of the Masters of the Universe second live action film coming out in the start of next month on June fifth, which I will have a review of  here shortly after it opens or as close to it that I can. I will admit that I my have been a little bit older than I should have been for enjoying this very cartoon series, yet at the same time I was able to absorb the love of animation even more than most children and even though the stories were a certain way of happening it filled my love of commercial art in my soul as did as I said earlier for wanting myself to be a creative artist in someway or other. I will also say that I had nearly every toy figure from the entire line with very few exceptions..... I even had the last play set in late nineteen eighty seven known as Eterina that was composed of three big towers that I had gotten at Toys R Us in Maryland.                    I will do my review of the series chronologically with one exception because, I feel that even though some of them were started for reasons of introducing the whole story and toyline with all the main characters in one episode and you all know the one I am talking about if you're a true Masters of the universe fan that one will come when it comes. Now is there anything else I yours truly is forgetting....                                                                                    With it being of course the start of the month you know that I have a few things that I end each month with and even though I have one other added thing of adding a way you can stay in touch with me outside of this blog, which I will actually add here in a minute, I have to remember absolutely  that each month I will share with you all my main images from my phone and this here tablet I am writing on. An even though it's been at least a year of living everyday life it is understandable that even I can get to being forgetful at times... so here's what I almost forgot in ending this entry property. Here's what I've been having on my phone lock screen form is the Yamato using all of their remaining power to 

 take out their oncoming threat of the comet empire by blasting it city top.... and that has been sine last December. Then when I have been opening my phone to my main screen happen to have this

                    

 , since December of last year it's where Derek Wildstar and Nova look outward towards their hopeful destruction of the comet empire that has been approaching earth to destroy it... and what they see scares them worse than they can ever know!
     Then on my Tablet that I write these blogs on has a cool lockscreen of a Norman Rockwell like image in a comic way... And here's what I mean by that 
     

Batman's greatest foe that of the Joker in the form of the Batman television series from nineteen sixty six portrayed by Ceasar Romero is trying to paint or draft the Dark knight version of Heath Legder while looking at his future self from Tim Burton's Batman film from nineteen eighty nine.  An here's what I have as my main screen related to this whole topics of cartoon series 

 that I am definitely interested reviewing at some point overall and with very few exceptions I can honestly name the majority of all of the eighty cartoon characters seen here. Now you're all wondering did I happen to forget about the site's background plate? The answer is no I didn't I was taking time in between writing these to decide what the newest plate is going to be! Yet here is the one.                         

                               

  that has been here for a year at least! Oh and yes I am still working out my many ideas of talking about why the earth is so very important to all of us as the species we are too. And finally here's how you can get in touch with me outside of leaving me a comment to be published here at the site. My address is Matt Byrd 204705 E Schuster road, Kennewick,  Washington 99337-6639. I would love to hear from all of my many readers even if it's absolutely about my given grammar mistakes as well.             

                       Love you all Matt Byrd 

For a long while now I have been thinking about him

Hello All,                                                                                                                                                         During this past week I have been very fortunate to have gotten to get a whole other year of age older, and from the previous week of from Staint Patrick's day I was trying to share a lot of my own memories from certain years while growing up and just today something really interesting and inspiring popped into my head. I had thought about my current Facebook profile picture and was thinking and wondering if I should talk of the man in it that is beside me.... he was my granddaddy from on my mother's side of the family and yes in a way I have talked about him here before. But it's also been a very long amount of time since it's needed to add more love about him. I know that most times of when you are here I am one way or another talking about stuff that I like to chat about of say cartoons or my many other type of entertainment and yes even about Spider-Man and the medium he comes from comics quite a lot....                                                                           For a while now on my Facebook page I have had the profile picture of myself and Ben Powers just after my graduation from my high school of Hanford High school seen here.        

                                                                               That was way back in June on the first Friday, which was the seventh of nineteen ninety one.                                                                                                                                                     From as far back as I can remember Ben was a man of inspiration to all of his grandchildren and when I tell you he respected you at least more than once his ten including Lyle and Merri Watson knew that he gave you that opportunity more than once. More than anything Granddaddy really loved his work at the metal shop he worked for a company known as Lummer metals in Columbus, Georgia where he mainly grew up. He loved his chance to spend time with God when he faced a human challenge he couldn't understand... in fact I remember that when I was visiting him and my grandma his wife Evelyn "Ebby" Day Powers over the summers as a child he took me to church with him on Sunday mornings and Wednesday's evenings for men Bible studies and dinners. He had two sisters one who took care their mother who was known as Big Mama to everyone,  who knew her no matter who knew her. Ben and Evelyn lived on 21st street at 1311 till he passed away in April of 2004.                                                                                      The one thing that I know that I truly got from Ben Powers was something very rare indeed besides his caring love and respect,  or at least I want to believe it came from knowing him, that is that I have great patience of dealing with a lot of stuff in the area of wherever I am. Another thing that Granddaddy loved to do was tell stories and jokes that truly made anyone who was listening think about it for a long while, one story that he made up was called "Raw Head and Bloody Bones" but at the same time one of his greatest jokes was with me anyway "Oh Go Ahead.." that would be me and his response was "Hey did you just call me a goat head..." 

    Another thing that I remember about my granddaddy was he was a collector of match books he had at least in nineteen eighty six four big plastic tubs from Rubbermaid full to top of each one. He just picked them up from every restaurant, every hotel, and fuel center ( a gas station), and of course grocery stores too. I think that he even had a few interesting international match books in his overall collection, the reason as to why he had them I remember asking him once and he said "I  have collected them so I can remember my travels from place to place of where I have been." Funny thing was he never smoked a pipe or a cigar, or even a cigarette that I can ever recall. He also loved to help me on putting puzzles together, we put super heroes ones together to ones of Star Trek puzzles and even one of the grand canyon at Christmas time in nineteen ninety four. I remember as well thar he had a scar on his right palm of his hand forever from when he was a child. He told me the story of how he got that scar and it's very interesting indeed. When he and his brothers were on a picnic with their family they were playing with a set of sardeen containers and their pop guns.... or maybe back then it was a kid and his sling shot, Ben and his brothers were slinging pebbles at their sardeen containers and his went an fell into the stream and he went to go pick it up from the water and the palm of right hand tore along tendon and outward from his thumb and His Mama wasn't a happy woman that given weekend at all... he got his hand to heal but he has a forever mark as a reminder to never play with sardeen containers again!                                                    Then when was twelve he showed me how to use wood craving tools and help me make a cage for Battle Cat from He‐ Man and the Masters of the universe toyline.  He enjoyed taking me his grandson out to a restaurant known as Captain D in Columbus,  Georgia where we would enjoy hush puppies and cod fish with a glass of sweet tea. One of the many things that I will always remember about my granddaddy was that when we flew from Pasco to Seattle to Atlanta and before heading to their home in Columbus we would go and spend about two hours at Six Flags theme park on our first day                                                                                       

                                        of our two weeks of visiting them in those summers of the past! In that picture right there was one of our last trips to Six Flags over Georgia in nineteen eighty three with my sister Kylie and like each other time that was a blast to for us and our cousins Dan and James Simmons. Oh and just in case you're wondering that loin was named Leo a common name for a loin stuffed or not....                                                                         More memories of Granddaddy Ben Powers coming soon....
