Cool Desret Nights Pt.1: What's your favorite car to want drive around in?



Gather Round for what is known as "Cool Dessert Nights". It isn't quite here for two thousand and ten yet, but I want to let you in on it's reeving roaring history or at least what I know of it? I use to know a person who was on the board committee of organizing this function, when I use to work at the RED LOIN/Double Tree hotel chain. I'm certain he still is part of it in this same way still all these years later. What Cool Desert Nights is a huge car show filled weekend with a show and shine on Saturday with a pancake breakfast for the fans and enthusiasts who want to put old cars back to almost renewed condition from as far back as the automobile being conceived (more on the pancake part in the very next posting). So as I said there are a lot of things going on at this said time there is a fifty & sixties dance also there a resonance merry greenwood fair, both share Howard Amond park in Richland. What I want to ask you all though is what type of car would you been seen driving if you were in the Cool Desert Nights event. Would you go with one of these or maybe this is more your style or even maybe one of this type of car. For me I think you all know what my first choice would be. It would be a dodge charger with a 01 on the door,
was part of last year's gathering.
My second choice would of course be the man who doesn
't exist that helped a fellow known as Micheal Knight.

My little teddy that been with me all my life



Yo how are thee,
What I feel like sharing in a way is a lot like what Linus from the "Peanuts" comic st
rip has with him all the time. It is like his blanket and I have never parted with this as he never has with the blanket expect for when the "Blockhead's Dog" yeah I mean Charlie Brown's bulge Snoopy. Running with the boy still attached to it. Yes there was one time when I too thought I'd LOST this friend, it was in our move to the state of Maryland in 1986. I also know that many of you with strange thinking maybe thinking he's writing about a time when he had dirty kind of fun, but I don't mean of a teddy in that fashion at all. I mean this little guy here his name is Radar after the M*A*S*H character played by Gary Burghoff. I know that person in that photo frame looks very familiar doesn't she and then to see me as a boy with hair of all things scary ain't it. Yes that is really me and I'm standing next to a star of that show with that Big yellow bird. It is Maria from Sesame Street. I had a high pitched voice for when Radar would talk to anybody but I'm not sure if I can do it anymore. Radar and I would watch TV together all the time from shows like Scooby Doo to Emergency! and yes even that other Marvel comic character The Incredible Hulk live action show with Bill Bixby & Lou Ferrigno to the Anime classic known as Star Blazers. I'm just so glad that I have my first toy with me always.

Spider-Man verus pt.II The loser type of love lane, But why oh why?


Hey all,
I know that I have talked about Peter Parker's love live a few times before in the monthly comic book that was started in February nineteen sixty two with Amazing Fantasy #15. Then because the character wa
s so great in sales nine months later he was granted his own title known as the Amazing Spider-Man, which is of course still running today forty some odd years later. I want to compare the two Spider-Man histories to see what I and you think should be the current way the character should be? Now please recall that the newspaper strip didn't start till 1/3/77 so maybe I'm just outta whack but please go with me on this and lets solve if rather Mr. Parker should be Married or single? In the comic universe before meeting Mary Jane Watson, Stan had one other definite gal he wanted Parker to hook up with Gwen Stacy

but did you know Stan had to other possible love interest for his little wall crawler as well in high school friend Liz Allen.
She was first in all honestly the only girl Peter liked in a loving way from his high school days at Midtown High. Also in the comicverse there was the secretary that works with him at the Daily Bulge Betty Brant. Of course even in the very beginnings of newspaper strip Betty was and has been the only girl from the comics to transfer over with MJ to that medium. Also from day one in that form of Spidey's world Mary Jane has been the main love out looking love type, but NOT the only one. In the early days of the newspaper strip for a while Mary Jane was with Kraven the hunter, while Peter filled his time up with working at the Bulge and going to collage where one day in the Library he meets Carole & Tana. We come to find out that Tana is the daughter of a terrorist as we read the strip. And Carole is like able like Allen or Brant is in the comics. Yet our little web head likes the bad one with out even knowing it. As seen here when offer a teaching job,
(there is another posting right there more on that later.) Please remember this is from the first volume of Spider-Man newspaper strips, where I got these but as the series grew because this only covers the first two years. As the newspaper strip grew so did Parker's relationships with other female companions since Mary Jane was off modeling or trying to be a actress most of that given time. She also did this in the monthly comics as well, and you all know what had happen to poor Gwen in the comics, she died at the hand of the Green Goblin. So Marvel started bringing new female characters in the comic books to rival Mary Jane's absent for a long time, most noticeably the black cat. The characters weren't involved with one another of Peter Parker or Mary Jane in the dating scene at all in the year 1987 in the monthly comics. Lee had decided it was time for his "Charlie Brown" to settle down with his woman known as Mary Jane Watson, so he wanted the two trying in together of the storyline of the monthly comics and his daily newspaper strip. Which worked fine till editor in chief Joe Queasda comes along to reboot Marvel out of some low woes. At first Queasda see nothing wrong with the Marriage of the Parkers. After the event known as CIVIL WAR which can be read about in a upcoming posting titled "What got me into reading comics again, is a little book known as "CIVIL WAR". So after twenty one years of being married Queasda bring out "One More Day" which becomes the most hated Spidey story ever. Stan Lee follows suit with the newspaper strip starting with this very strip on

January 1st 2009 with a single Peter Parker living with Aunt May instead him being married to his True Love MJ. Boy did the fans go through the roof ya bet your web shooters they did. And after all the holing Stan made things so much better for the true believers of Spidey fandom. While the monthly comics continue to sink in greater numbers every time one comes out. So whom is better a Parker that is a married one or a single one here's my own answer: The writer you like best. "oh just so you all know it has taken Queasda two whole years to get out a story called O.M.I.T. which stands for (One. Moment. In. Time.)" will it continue to sink Marvel's flagship character into the ground. Probably...Who really knows?

One's True friends are everywhere


Hey All,
Originally this was going to be about all of Sp
ider-Man's different loves from comic books vs the daily newspaper strip. Instead this is about something that happen to me personally just this very morning at the Men's fellowship breakfast I attend every Saturday at The Cathedral of Joy. We were having a different type of sermon, we have had another like it only once of a video presentation after having breakfast, that I truly know of. Well what that sermon was about was a eye doctor helping others in Ethiopia who are blind. As I was watching the video/slide show I felt my head really perspiring, it turn out the air conditioning wasn't working quite yet in the part of the building we were in. While this was going on I'm still trying to get use to my new glasses and I took them off for just a second and the next thing I know everyone of the guys were around me and were propping my legs onto a chair. I had blackout for a few seconds and had a brief seizing moment of just a seizure. They tried to have a blood pressure wrapped around my arm only to find it didn't work, they however have someone there whose a citizen medic who knew how by touch to take a pulse and wrote it down so that doctors could know what it was at the time of happenstance. They all finished the meeting around me (talk about a sure fire way of getting attention huh?) My friend Kendall had first took me to Physician's immediate care and my friend Paul Elmler followed as well. We took the Church's wheelchair so I could be steadied mobile while getting around. it turn out that they didn't have the proper exam materials at Physician's immediate care so they sent us to Kadlac hospital in Richland I had to help direct Kendall there because it had been a long while since he'd been there and besides he knows Kennwick General hospital area a lot better. So once there I asked him to please stay with me till I knew what was going on. He had a heck of a time trying to find member of my family (but that was my fault for forgetting my Trac phone at home) He had at by 10:45 found and contacted my brother Micheal through the number I gave him for my sister in law Kathie's work number. We my brother & I were there till almost one pm before they release me. One thing I won't forget about the whole thing was my brother had asked me was "SO, When are you thinking of getting married?" He was being both funny and serious with his questioning of course, because what if they can't get in contact with immediate family what would/will happen if no one were to be there to help me. I know many people who can drive to help if needing them is necessary but who knows one's medical history better than one's significant other outside of one's own doctor. Which by the way my mother's friend is going to be helping me find one early Monday before I have to work. here what my hand looked like for most of today.
Micheal & I went to "WING STOP" after my day in the hospital and my mother's mentioned friend from earlier helped me fill out my needed prescription at Rite Aid earlier tonight. Just think about this, I also had a choice to go fishing up on the snake river just image the chaos that would have been going on that way, good thing I didn't go huh?

Spider-man verus pt. I,Spiders and Bats, Oh My....


What is the history of the two legendary comic icons know as Bat-Man and Spider-Man? How are the connected besides just being fictional characters in a artistic way? Which of them is more popular in overallness? We know any hero by their greatest foes don't we?, of course their always great stories with both the Joker and the Green Goblin for their respected foes Bat-Man and Spider-Man.
But could you imagine if you will the total chaos those two could give the Web head & the Dark Knight if they teamed up. I'd tell you nothing would be left because as soon as both got rid of their pain they would murder each other just to be fair to themselves. Batman was created by Bob Kane in nineteen thirty nine in Detective Comics # 27 the Joker came into Batman's life in nineteen forty in Batman #1, Spider-Man was created by Stan Lee & Steve Ditko in the spring of nineteen sixty two. Now the Goblin came into Spidey's life in his second year of life in nineteen sixty four in Amazing Spider-Man # 14. I'm not sure of when I learn about Bat-Man I think it was through cartoons of Scooby Doo called the New ScoobyDoo movies and of course you know how I got into knowing Spider-man was from a coloring book in nineteen seventy five. As to how are both characters artistically related outside of never meeting but the have more on that in a moment. Spidey & Bats have both been drawn by comic artist Todd McFarlane , who now has his own comic character known as SPAWN. Batman & the wall crawler have met a very few times in the eighties and in the nineties as well here is their team up cover from nineteen ninety four. To me both characters are very rich in their source material, (hey wait isn't Spidey suppose to be a poor sucker all the time well yeah he is but it's all how one sees it) I guess.

The Newest feature at Day life of the Matt is:

Hey here is the newest feature here at Day life of the Matt as you all known I am one of the hugest Spider-Man fan almost any where. And even through I am currently NOT A FAN of the monthly comic book titles of the character because of a certain "NEW" take on him, doesn't mean I do not any less love the character of Peter Parker and his super alter ego known as Spider-Man. There is a version of Spider-Man that I will always keep up with no matter how corny it is at times and it's what "ANY or EVERY TRUE SPIDER-FAN" should being following it's the Spider-Man newspaper strip, What you didn't know such a thing existed. It's by Stan Lee the writer of the character to start with WWWAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY BBBBBBAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKKKKK, in nineteen sixty two in a little title known as Amazing Fantasy#15. Stan started writing this very strip in nineteen seventy seven with fellow Spider-Man comic artist John Romitia Sr. doing the art for the strip on January third. I will have a posting in two thousand nine's November listing called "A Gem indeed worth sharing about" that will talk more about this strip an how the Adventure Newspaper strip began. Does the Spider-Man newspaper strip have bits of humor to it from time to time well here is the very answer to that investigation from the last story arc trying to hide from the strip's current bad guy, but knowing what he has to do. Here is who is in this latest Spider-Man newspaper story I wonder if Stan Lee was wanting a Spider-Man and IRON MAN storyline to help promote the release of IRONMAN2 the movie that came out May seventh, two thousand and ten. So now that he has that last story of a Sabertooth vs Spider-Man out of his system maybe he will start the promoting with the storyline called The peerless power of IRON MAN! So lets you and I see if we can help Spidey himself here find out what is going on "Lets see, "Garfield" yeah, "Peanuts" very so so, And "For Better or worse" Imagine that fits my life for sure. I Just knew I couldn't trust Jonah Jameson with my own comic image in the BUGLE of all people. Now I do know that he hates me, why do I even try anymore?" in the Strip:

Every day has something special about it....

Hey There,
Has anyone ever had a really bad outlook on how they live their own life from time to time?, sure I think everyone will and does have a really frustrating time to look at from different ways of looking at life, but I don't want to talk about that right now. This morning after talking to a friend earlier the week helped to show me we all need to see a bigger picture of how we see others that we interact with on a daily basis, since I've been wanting to continue with developing my skills as a writer: the other friend I was
talking with brought over a book that we were emailing other about called the Artist Way, I have known of this book for a very long time since nineteen ninety in fact. When I was in high school my art instructor Mrs. Mohatt had a copy around her daily art classes at Handford high school to help drive or at least show greater aspects for being a artist of any kind. From what she was teaching it was mostly graphically influenced and you can believe me when I say I still love to draw. Yes in the above image also is a part of my "CLONE OF ME" story with the book. My second encounter with the book came in the year nineteen ninety nine when my mother and Chuck my step father went to go visit her cousin Bo Bartlett in Seattle Washington, when he suggested to my mother Nancy to get this book for Matt because he knew how much art also influenced me as it does him she brought it as a way of love for the medium for a upcoming artist. ("Thank you for that mom by the way") Anyway this morning I wanted to start reading this along with my current Star Trek over sized novel. Which I will after publishing this blog post, but I also want to say I came up with a way to bring a new Spider-Man feature to Day Life of the Matt what is it you'll have to wait just a bit to find that out? Also today I saw as it was starting to rain at fourish I saw a cool bolt of lighting that was just outright awesome I gotta say. Then how can I say a day isn't complete with the brightness of shoppers at Albertson's both young in my eyes no matter what! First there was my little friend Mason who in a little over a week from now will be a BIG Brother to Axel so. While bagging five check stands from self checkout I heard this little voice. At first I didn't recognize who it was at first he was saying my name and I was already done with bagging for that cashier so I grabbed his little hand and escorted him and his mother out to their car. While I was doing this he was running his whole other hand up my arm like a jellyfish I remember asking him did he like his Spider-Man finger puppet I gave him a few visits ago, he said "Yeah" his mother said "It was diffidently something very unique in how it was so detailed in it's handiwork. Then after work I help my friend June who has had her second knee surgery in the past week shop. So see everyday can be special in all kind of ways? how was your day by the way?
