SOMETHING FOR ALL who served......

Hello to ALL,
Today is of course a VERY IMPORTANT DAY to remember those who are stronger in the face of danger than most common people in the country known as America. Now by any means I'm not saying that any one American citizen is weak of strenght at all either..... I'm taking my time and thinking of my own family members who are serving now. Like my sister Kylie, to all the way back to Ben Powers my grandaddy on my mother side of the family. On the other side of the Byrd family besides my sister, there was my dad his sister Betty and her husband Ted Arey and many cousins from on my dad's brother's Jim side of the family as well. The main way I know that all of these persons that I have mention right above are worthy of great honor is for the time of protecting our whole country, not just because they wanted or felt the need to, they like anyone shown in that image above all have/had the inner strength of courage to help not only strengthen their own resolve of helping them believe in themselves, but to protect everything they also love like everyone's freedom to be free from outward fear of whatever kind. I know that today later on Facebook I'm planing on writing something very equally inspiring to not only my sister, but also hopeful words of encouragement for all upcoming persons wanting/waiting to activity serve. To every Veteran I see today I will be more than honor bound from my heart and soul to Thank You with a handshake for your tour of duty. To anyone who is a Vet or activity serving Thank You as well if I don't see you know that these words that I Matt Byrd write on this very blog will make your strength in you power of belief will make you fight for freedom that much more important in your own heart and soul!               

Oh so very close to that rare ALIAS # and so much more.....

Hey there all,
 It seems as if we are so very close to that very ominous # that kept Jenifer Graner's character of Sydney Bristow and the C.I.A. and SD-6 on their toes of the dead man known as Milo Rambaldi and his connection to something 

called page forty seven. Okay, okay so here is where our standings are in visitors hits as of the moment:forty six thousand six hundred and twelve. That if you ask me is pretty darn close to forty seven thousand and I know it maybe that it will get over that by the morning of November tenth two thousand and thirteen or it will be at least very close I'm thinking? I can tell you all outside of helping earlier today of with the cleaning up in vague part for the outside scene of this year's "Living Nativity" which is put on by my church known as the Cathedral of Joy I feel like a real heel of a gut smashing airhead! Why your asking I'm sure right well it seems when I last charged my Digital camera it went and I know not how but it died of taking photos all together. I am super PO at myself too  because I had put in one of my memory cards that had everything of two thousand and twelve on it. So stuff like this

and even more of cool stuff that I have to get from hard copy photos if I can find them of certain ones of post from earlier this year. The ONE THING I feel really bad about most of all was I had one really cool mini video recorded on the card of Stan Lee the co creator of the main Marvel comic universe that was really hard to get off of the channel known as "THIS". Still I know almost anyone who is reading this wants to know have I gone an seen this

movie yet since it opened on Friday?, well even through the answer for right now is a BIG NO this little hidden gem from an very old Hostess ad 

featuring the THUNDER GOD fighting for those Twinies we all love. So even through things are looking bad on some fronts such as missing great photos and needing to get a new digital cramrea, I won't let it give me the blues and just stop postings the blog no sir nothing at all will halt my ever thinking twisty brain, and the one thing that can stop me I just don't let it enter my thoughts at all.             

Sometimes life is more amazing than one can ever know!

Hello everyone,
   Boy where do I begin?, even I am not totally sure on this one. Something SUPER AWESOME even beyond any kind of  comic and especially beyond every SUPER HERO kinda honor about what I found out on Facebook about an hour or so ago really made me want to thank the fellow the whole world knows Savoir of all mankind, that is right I'm talking about Jesus and his awe striking power to bring a father and son even closer together, when one those two people has been in a very safe place for the last three years now. As anyone who reads anything here in this blog knows that my dad Michael Joe Byrd passed away in two thousand and ten. (In fact off to the right of the screen here you can read my loving, and heartfelt tribute to him), well on this past Sunday while trying to come up with something to write about" It was Wednesday...." soon to be revealed. At that given time I was looking all over the internet to see what I could find related to my dad at all the only thing I really found in my first search was an photo of him from when he was a teenager on a link to past obits from a online page of our local paper, The Tri-City Herald. Still wanting to know if there was anything at all more I went from just looking through image hunting (that of the sport was one thing dad loved with a passion) I went looking on the web even further..... it was through the second search that I was greatly rewarded, for on the soical site known as Facebook I had found a person on there with our family spelling of our last name and I took a great leap of faith after looking at the person's page this young man who shared dad's name has at least a few things in common with yours truly on some levels. So I then choose my words very carefully and told him what I was doing and why I doing it, I had told him it's okay either way if he doesn't respond at all, then earlier tonight I had found that I have a new friend known as Michael Joe Byrd. I also must thank our heavenly father known as God and his bridge way to us all his son Jesus.        

Guess what I totally forgot about?

Hello Ahhh there, Everyone,
 I can't believe it? I really can't, no not all at? but to me little ol Matt had a well how can I put this? A real laps of time this weekend. And like the two images seen up above these words don't ask me how but I just slept through the whole fall back of setting the time stream back a hour on late but early Sunday morning or rather before nodding off on Saturday night, but through it all even though I feel alright right at this moment something just seems a bit off and it's not about the whole missing an hour thing at all. It was this 

my here at least non see able Dark Knight Beard from before Ol Hallows Eve that I kept a couple of days after because I wanted to do something very much like this 

 

again. Hence being the grand Joker type of foe of ol Bats. The Riddler. But because of fifty miles per hour winds (I'm not truly sure how wildly strong they were, but I'm telling you from how it sounded to me, what it was) I really had planed on going all over my whole community in if not the whole costume at least in part of it, with a Batman logo symbol Tee shirt and that hat with both the beard back as black in color and colors to each question marks which were just behind the whole beard. But today without a doubt because I promised them at Albertson's where I work I will shave it off of the design before leaving later this morning for work. Now I do without a doubt have to get my thoughts of my thinking cap on as to what I will be doing for next year at Halloween time with my beard design oh the horror of it all.....    

It was on a Wensday......

  Hello All, 

Today is a very emotional day for me and my brother and sister, for it was on this date three years ago in two thousand and ten that we lost our beloved father. My sister Kylie put up this photo of the four us in 

his memory, at the house we all grew up in till about nineteen eighty four it was the Hoxie house.  You know no matter how well you have it in loving any family member that has passed on it is VERY, VERY, VERY, overwhelming to even talk about it no matter of both the length of passed  time or what the cause is/was that ripped that loved one away. I just remember my mom Nancy Powers Watson calling me this night three years ago I was at the very moment she had called been looking at my high school graduation photos but mostly looking at this very one   

seen here, thinking of just on the following Tuesday his sister Betty Arey and I were going to go see him before he was going on to a much better place, than dealing with all of his pain of the Parkinson's disease that he had since late 2002. It was right after my heartfelt conversation with my mom that I wrote "GOODBYE DADDY", where you know if you've read it I put my soul on my shelve plain and simple. The one thing in the passing three years since his passing that I won't ever forget is how nice his service was at Sunset memorial gardens known as Einan's funereal home. Here is one image 

of what my sister Kylie had set to remember him by just outside of the room the service was held in. It was a weekend later that we my brother Michael seen here   

and Kylie and Kathie my brother's wife and their kids Cannon & Heidi and Kylie's son Bryce over to the Playground of Dreams side of the Colombia river on the Kennwick side of town and took some of dad's ashes and threw them in his favorite spot of in the river because he loved to fish there all the time when he got the chance. Still even though it was one of my favorite birthday's of my whole life mainly because I just love playing with my age a couple of years earlier I love this photo of all of us minus my sister Kylie at the time here is one of the best photos of all of us 

 

Michael holding Heidi, our mom Nancy powers Watson, her husband Chuck, Spidey and me and of course the man of remembrance for today my dad Michael Joe Byrd we're all doing  web shooter stance with our hands. That was back in 2002, I just wish that all who read this today recall your best times with your lost loved one as much as I do with thoughts of my beloved father Michael Joe Byrd. Dad I want you to know your always in my heart and mind today of all days of any year.     

Ditko's day

Hello to all true Spider-Man fans,
 As I am sitting here listening  to a Spider-Man Crawlspace podcast of the very last story I  read while collecting originally from in two thousand four called "SINS PAST" along with other Spider-Man current bits. That story is the one where Gwen Stacy had children who turn out to be really Norman's Osborn offspring outside of his own son Harry Osborn. That all aside, today is a grand day for one of Peter Parker's main creators, and it's not who you'd think of? In fact a few years ago I paid tribute to this very person and since I pay kudos to stars that I know of this also includes the most enduring: Family! This guy created many of Peter's core arch foes from the scientist seen here 

, that now is in Peter's mind currently. His name is Otto Octavius to his greatest foe known as Green Goblin seen here         

which from my understanding will be having a bout with SpOck minded Spidey come the spring of 2014 before the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", which comes out in May. This creator was separated from the guy known as Stan by about five years of time. The creator I'm talking about is Peter's illustrative father known Steve Ditko Today ay he turns eighty six years young. He and Stan also made Doctor Strange a big hit after the strong strands of webbing success of the other half of Peter Parker's very active life seen here in these few panels   

of the comic book put out by Marvel comics titled "THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN" He doesn't care about fame or riches he just wants fans to know his body of work that started with this

first page of Mister Parker's life from a final comic titled  AMAZING FANTASY # 15, dated August nineteen sixty two as it's cover release was actually released in the following month of September. It had three other comic stories in it as well as our boy hood hero known as Mr.Parker, those stories were "THE BELL RINGER","THE MAN IN THE MUMMY CASE", and finally there was "THE MARTINS ARE AMONG US". Of course way back then to see sale records of any comic was at least a good eight months or nine at most, so when the final tally for AMAZING FANTASY # 15 was collected as a whole wasn't till early February of the following year of nineteen sixty three, when the owner of Marvel saw the sale figures Martin Goodman was his name ordered the creative team whom put out that book nine months ago to make it a regular monthly book. Dikto's actual time on the title was from February nineteen sixty three to July of nineteen sixty six by the covers numbering, but long before that he and Lee happen to of had a falling out over the direction of which way the stories should flow for the series run, so Steve till this day hasn't forgiven Stanly Martian Lee       ,in fact if you look at this illustration of how Steve felt might give some insight at least in a very tiny way of why he started to not appreciate Stan as a coworker in the field of the comic industry, just take a gander at the first word balloon if you don't believe me.... Still even if Ditko wants to hold a grudge that's his choice! Like it is my choice to choose what I Matt like to put down in words on my site. Steve Ditko is a good hearten man I'm sure but his way of enjoying work for the sake of being a creative artist may have been lost a long time ago. So in wanting to wish Mister Ditko a Happy Birthday is very much approved by me because he needs to know he's thought of on this very special day. Thank You Mister Ditko for breathing a breathe of inked 

 

life into one of the most beloved comic book superheroes of our time, and your NOT at fault for how he is currently being received by comic fans around the world right now, but the first name of your last villain "JOE" is to me at any rate. Again best wishes to you, on your date of birth. 

Happy 86th Birthday young man  

    

Why Change is very........

Hello All,

 You know with this being the start of the second to last month of two thousand thirteen has really come so fast, and just getting ol scare fest day outta the way you'll think there's nothing worth yacking about? but oh there always is something...... something like going an seeing a new movie of a Booook  that predicted such things that are so much readily available in just the last decade of sorts. I'm of course, not talking about blogging as I am doing right now. What I'm referring to is the internet itself, sure no one can't deny after watching one of the earliest Transformers cartoon series that any functioning machine interfacing with another through phone lines isn't cool huh. Shortly before or right around that very same time a Mormon science fiction writer whom I have used in my still unfinished original piece called "CLONE OF ME" named Orson Scott Card had first ideas people interacting through a computer in his novel titled "ENDER'S GAME". Last night after Cannon and his older sister Heidi were done with candy hoping for All Hallow's Eve, we went to go see it over at Fairchild theaters in Pasco before it opened today. The movie was a bit off of holding everything of what the author of any piece written work had detail for, as you know any movie made from pen to paper is mostly changed in some fashion or other if you will, with the very exception of "THE LORD OF THE RINGS" very nailed down making of as with the other two parts of "THE HOBBIT" still to be forth coming. Ender's Game the movie for me was really cool and of the three of us who saw it only Kathie my sister in law and I had read the actual novel itself their are four other books that follow the adventures of Andrew "Ender" Wiggins whom is a child whom is programed to be a general of leading young children into intergalactic warfare to save the whole planet earth from an alien race that had once tried to wipe out humanity. The young actor who plays the title role is exactly how I saw the very character in my own head when I read the book back in the late 1990's. I would give this movie an over all of four and half bags of popcorn for it's rating. Also I think it is only fair for "ENDER'S fans should know that Card went and wrote the Ultimate IRON MAN series in two thousand and four  for Marvel comics and in the deal he got the company to do a graphic adaptation of his most acclimated novel "ENDER'S GAME" later that very same year or maybe it was the next one I'm not really sure of, but I do know where I can get a copy of the whole trade for sure if I may want it. Now on to other means of today's title of the post of the first of the month, yes if you know this very site well you are without no doubt never spooked enough after the month of  BLOOD STAINED WALLS or maybe even hearing SCREAMING SOULS VOICES FROM GRAVESTONES that All must be left to dust at the flip of a magic hat? Here is what I had for that aforementioned month of creepiness as the plate here at 

"Tomb of MATT" Hey maybe I'll start that next year coming up with catchy yet bogging names for every October. I did happen to come up with a cool surprise to add to the mix for the month of scares from now whence on? but before I share this little part of sneakiness I have reveal what I had for most the month of shocking Gravers  as my desktop which was these two dead friends having fun in the one place 

that they can't leave! So I know you all wanna know what my final treat from the month of October,2013 is ? It is my person  I finally did decide on being yesterday during  my greatest day of the whole year? (Really) it is at least one of them for sure and can you guess one finally time if you can find a day ever that I don't give you a twister of a pun for if you put all of my hints of last month together you can know I was this guy seen here
