Mt. Sanit Helens rememberace


I am not really sure that remembering the eruption of Mt. Saint Helen's is a cool thing to write about thirty years after it has happen is very appropriate because on this very date MAY 18th,1980 was a very frightening day. At eight thirty two A.M. Mount Saint Helen' s had erupted killing a lot of people and animals and of course plant life as well. The ash plum spread very quickly over the whole state of Washington and into the state of Oregon and Idaho as well, it was on a Sunday I remember that very well and also I remember playing in our neighbor's yard when my dad told me to come inside and put on a breathing mask because of the fear of breathing the ash into my young lungs. My sister Kylie and my mother were coming back from shopping at Sears in Pasco because I remember for sure I saw them coming home at ten o'clock in the morning I'm pretty sure my brother was with her too. I remember in late into the nineteen nineties around nineteen ninety five on a trip up to see my extended family there in Seattle Washington Chuck took us up to the site of the eruption which is located in the Cascade mountain range east of near Spokane Washington. Here is the Tri Cities Herald front page that I remember the most that invoke that scary memory as a child of eight years of age. This is what the area
of where Mount St. Helen's look like thirty years later, and to see it as it is now how could one ever forget what had happen that faithful May in 1980 at 8:32 am?

Super JOYFUL FOR LOST, But Sadden for HEROES....

Hello media fans,
I can certainly say that I am very happy for the show know as LOST, even though I wish it would go for a few more seasons on the ABC network. Here is how addicted anyone who watches the show must feel really charged but sadden to see this energized show leave the airwaves. If your a die hard of this show you'll know the very meaning of everything in this image: but for another show that was and yes I did say was a great geek show as well almost as much as LOST, had their fourth year end on the Peacock network last February with the youngest of these HEROES, revealing to the world at large of their existentialism by falling from the top of a carnival's Ferris wheel, but as I found out surfing the internet earlier today HEROES, will have only a half season to complete it's run so the comic book themed show cannot in it own right have it's very own series finale. You'd think that while this show was on and since I love comics so much that this would draw me right to it?, Right?, well since it was on at the same time slot as LOST was during it second season you know WHICH show won. I do happen to have all of the first three seasons on DVD. I have even watch a big portion of season three on the air when it was broadcasting and I was hooked with all the comic book references I was like how the bleeding zippy do da could I have miss such a great counter part to LOST , this very show has it's own identity very much in their own way. This also goes to show all the more why NBC fails as a network it can't keep a series that a lot people like going or at least it seems that way with the network also canceling for the first time Law and Order and heck how many spin offs has that series alone had? The only good show on NBC in my option is Jeopardy! the game show. I just hope that HEROES, can find a better home on either ABC, CBS, or the SYFY channel for it was just starting to break the ice of even the media it represents the most: COMICS.

A new look for me

Hey everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that whilst on my trip to Cuenca Ecuador my mom had asked me to read our flight gate to Atlanta Georgia on the flight reader boards over the restaurant part of SEA-TAC airport in Seattle Washington. When I s
aid it looks and seems to me to be Gate S-19 she asked me to read it again. So I did and still to me from what I saw it was Gate S-19, my mother said "You need your eyes checked because that gate we are heading to is B-19 not S-19. She said We'll check your eyes in Ecuador since it's cheap there." I was to say in the least a bit scared, when she and I met up with Chuck my step father in Atlanta to go to Cuenca with us, he flew from Saint Paul Minnesota to hook up since he was visiting grand children in Elk River Minnesota, they talked about it a little while we waiting to board our flight to Guayaquil that's where Chuck loves flying to when going back to Ecuador. If my mom could have her choice she would like to fly straight to Cuenca instead, all that aside I think that they chatted about me seeing a eye doctor while I was sleeping on the flight to Guayaquil.
On one of my last days while visiting with them we went to to different eye specialist to get my eyes check out. The main reason we went to two eye specialists was is that my mother wanted to make sure she had the right prescription so
I wouldn't be blind by my eye wear, just joking really, she ordered them online was while she wanted to make sure was the real reason why. Here is what they look like on display. I got a few pictures of them on the Avatar DVD box as you can see I noticed the eye on the cover after taking the pix so before I show you me with them on I want you to know I played with turning the DVD box horizontal and played with the eye needing glasses. So far I'm still not use to these yet completely who would be when you haven't worn glasses ever? Of course I know you all know what I look like with out glasses but I still think to show contrast it's important to show what I look like without them as well. But as I said it will take me a while to get use to these. Like my mom said I shouldn't feel bad or ashamed about wearing them because they will help me to see and isn't that what matters. On Friday night I actually tried wearing them for while watching a show called "SMALLVILE" it's a series about Clark Kent before he becomes SUPERMAN but like I said it's going take a little time to adjust altogether to them as a whole.

Mothers & Fathers and the special day for them (pt.1)

Hey everyone,
I know that this is being put out a little late since Mother's Day was on Sunday, but I had to really think of what I wanted to put into the meaning of this subject, and Fathers don't fret I will pay you a homage when the time comes due. All mothers are very special and for many reasons most importantly they give birth to their offspring. They love and nurture them all of their waking moments of the child's life, both mothers and fathers hope that by showing an example in a lesson that they have taught it easy enough if no
t simple enough for the child to understand right from wrong. A mother does a lot more than just watch the kids or do just house hold chores while the husband is off at work, in fact as the children grow she may ask them with help in doing those chores so that the kid will learn something called independence. Sometime in a family especially these days it takes two sources of income to make a household work, and what both parents need to do is decide should the young ones be home alone, (please no comments on those John Hughes films with the troubled child actor Macaulay Culkin please), and where should their child be if not at a day care type of place then perhaps maybe with a family friend or even in a after school active. Mothers may at times like I've noted before may lose a child before or at birth, but this by any means doesn't mean that they didn't love or loved that new offspring that they were wanting to bring joy and happiness into their own life. I want to share a moment that I had with my own mother while I was visiting her and my step father Chuck in Cuenca Ecuador, where they now live. This was from the end of the Cuenca bus tour as you can see all of Cuenca is behind us. I still miss my folks even though I just came back from seeing them only a few weeks ago. I want to let every mom I know out there that I know your a good friend of mine or I at least hope it shows in how I respect you for all you bring to be good within this beautiful place we call plant earth.

Day of Praise for PRAYERS


Today is known as "The Day of National Prayer Day" I know that everyone who reads this blog may or may not believe that there is a God, but weather you do believe or not isn't truly the point. What is the point is will you please remember to pray about something very meaningful to you today, weather it's about how you relate to GOD, or how you relate to your own place in this world. Remember that the greatest things that you or someone else pray about sometimes it may take a short while to happen or it may take a very long time to happen in how it will be answered, but know it will NEVER EVER go unanswered for sure. The many things that I pray for myself have been rewarded for the most part. In fact a hour before off of work today I prayed about making this a understandable read about this very subject matter to GOD. HE must have heard me very loudly because HE said this will show me your love about a great matter between you and I also I don't see a negativeness in sharing from your heart my son. So once again please pray for something meaningful to you that you know that matters to GOD as well. Again thanks for taking time to pray today.

FCBD, what is it?,and what does it stand for?


Hey all you lovers of RPG & COMIC BOOK LOVERS, here is a blog posting just for you! So you all know what FCBD is right?, well just in case you've forgotten it does stand for Free Comic Book Day which is held on the first Saturday in May. It's a HUGE deal to all who like or love the world known as comics. It also that this is also the weekend over in Spokane Washington when they celebrate the lilacs flower all month long they have a HUGE race called BLOOMSDAY. I as I have said many times am a huge lover of the medium known as comic books, and you all know who my all time favorite comic book superhero is it's none other than Peter Parker also known as SPIDER-MAN. Free Comic Book Day officially was started back in the year two thousand and two. I was still in Cuenca Ecuador when last years took place and I remember promising as seen here under the bear

on the far side of uptown Parke Dorthy -Heidi & her Spider brother- Cannon that I would take them to this event, but instead their folks did since I wasn't available this time, I am now though. I was just looking at the promos for this year's Free Comic Book Day and was wishing I was the kid with that Spider-dude at wherever Samurai's Comics is located. Here is one of the Free Comics you can get. I love the home age to Amazing Fantasy # 15,1962 cover of the Simpson's character:COMIC BOOK GUY in the pose of the SPIDERMAN and he's holding trouble maker BART Simpson as SPIDER-MAN held the crook as he did on that oh so famous cover:
I hope that you the comic collector can find a comic store near you if your interested in this said event. For those of you here on this side of the mountains in Washington state here are the addresses of three places partaking in this said event: ADVENTURES UNDERGROUND 1391 George Washington way, and at HASTINGS at 1425 George Washington way and finally a comic store I brought my comics from INFINITE FRONTIERS located at 419 W.Entiat street in Kennwick Washington. I hope you will have a super fun time picking up your regular comics and seeing what is going down at your local comic shop.

Getting ready to head back to U.S.A.

Hello Everyone,
For the past two and half weeks I have not been at home. I've been visiting my mother and step father Chuck Watson in their place of residency which is here in Cuenca Ecuador, I have to say that I have had a great time here in Cuenca with them. From my past few blogs I'm sure you can tell how much fun I've had here too. Don't worry I still have more to write about here from in Cuenca of course, but I'll do it when I go back to home in the united states sometime soon. I got to meet a lot of new friends of my folks this time around as well as see some old friends of theirs that I already knew.
Like all good things (say isn't that a certain Star Trek series last title or something?) I have to help my mom pack our suitcases for the trek back to home in Washington state, she is coming with me for she wants to make sure everything will go fine through customs on leaving the country of Ecuador and entering the united states boarders at customs when coming in at Alatanta Georgia, Ah I'd feel at home there as well if I didn't live in Washington state, Why you ask?, well most of my mother's side of the family resides in a part of Georgia known as Columbus and if I had a little more time on this trip it would be nice to see them all again even if for a few hours or one quick day. I know I'd like to visit a friend of mine in the state of Maryland if I could, and then there's that "KNOT" I know of in Minnesota. Then I also have a few friends in California,Boy I wish that like you sometimes vacations could go on forever....But then how would anyone live life you need work as much as you need time off, so all in all I'm ready to come home for I also miss my friends back there as well.....
