They Are Everywhere! UNIT is everywhere .....Time Lords unite

 

Things you see when you are out and about... This was hilarious to see and nice to know I am not the only Sc-Fi nut around.

 

Hey all... anyone still out there

I am looking at a total re-do of this blog, but I am not sure any of my followers are still about, any thoughts?

The Way Back Music is now retired

 I have been extremely strung out as of late, so I have suspended the Way-Back Music part of this Blog, I am sorry to you very few followers that were enjoying it.

How you all doing?

So what new folks

I had a dream I was having breakfast with a Bigfoot named Gus . . . Wired right? 

Forgotten but not gone

Well I'm not sure how many folks still stop by this blog anymore, but I think I have some free time to start adding things to it once more.
 I have been distracted for a while and trying to get a cigar blog up and running for a friend as well as my own tumblr site.
 I stopped using this site due to difficulties with the service. So let's give this another shot shall we?
I will have something up later tonight or tomorrow ... For those still here drop me a line say hi.
Until next time

SuperMegafest or Bust

 Well it has come and sad to say I was not able to do more than one day due to a family situation, But My favorite local Fan convention has hit town and Bob and I set out on our 7th #Supermegafest adventure.

 The event staff and the Cosplay actors and actresses have gone all out as always. There were some great charities there, Toys for Tots (#toysfortots), 

www.toysfortots.org

www.Autismspeaks.org

Autism Speaks (#AutismSpeaks). 
 We had plenty of photo ops, spoke to some celebrities I even met the author of on of my favorite music books Psychedelic Bubble Gum; Bobby Hart. I got to shake his hand and speak with him, it is not often you get to speak to a writer you enjoy and the things he has done and seen are amazing.

 The vendors had great offerings and after chatting with some comic book folks I know that if the market was a tad bit better I could buy a house with what I own, but will I part with it...Hmmm tune in to find out...LOL 
  At one point Bob and I head into a bar on the first floor and sit and have a beer and who is at the bar? Thor!!! How many of you can say that you shared a drink in a bar with a super hero from Asgard?

 We spent the whole day there and even got to take part in the Cosplay photo shoot, these guys put a great a bit of time, effort and money as well as pride into their work/hobby one highlight was Night-crawler the Pirates and Walter White played by Todd Zavorskas aka #zombieleader.com ,

Vacation in in Central Maine

 Well despite all that is going on the family has sent me off to take a breath and to close up camp for the year. I took a day a few hours to escape to a wild animal park, here is a photo of me in all my glory.

 I will follow this up with a complete set of photos and story for you, but seeing as I am limited with technology at the very minute this will have to do... Blog Soon !

Gene Wilder - Young Frankenstein (1974) - Puttin' on the Ritz

Puttin’ on the Ritz
 Well it has happened again fun seekers, I got up this morning and an ear worm has invaded my brain pan, it wouldn’t be bad if it was something new, current or even a classic rock tune, but NO, what is it you ask… well even if you didn’t I am going to tell you anyway.
It is Puttin’ on the Ritz, the ear worm must have triggered due to watching Mel Brook’s movie Young Frankenstein for what my wife will say was the 218th time I have seen it. I can’t help it if it’s funny it is always funny!
It has gone so far that at one point today I was on youtube.com watching the video and then doing a search for different versions of the song upon which I found 6 versions of the song ending with the 1980’s Billboard’s top 100 favorite by Taco.
Today I was obsessed with it, I hope the next ear worm is just as entertaining.

Breakfast at camp

No really roughing it when you have your own portable pizza oven. Breakfast pizza in the woods

One small step for me one giant leap for blogger kind!

So early I posted a blog entry via my phone app, this is a major move in my technology evolution, although it is like watching a chicken trying to text, amusing, but gets old fast.

I do think I will continue to use the Blogger App to post short entries or just a photo update on a topic, but I will stick to the desk top or lap top for most of my posts, I have fat fingers and it is easier for me to function and multitask with a keyboard.

I see my nephew and niece using the apps like it is nothing, I guess it is just a case of what you grew up with it is their used to, however I have noticed the trend in phones is the size is getting bigger again, I am sure that is due to the all-in-one use of technology mentality.

Jump on the band wagon or get left behind as in everything, we must evolve.

Until next time . . .

Evaluation

 So one of the first times using the Blogger App and my mobile to post much like the real cool fungus I saw today we must evolve. . . Follow. Up on the app use shortly.

Evolution of life: Childlike, but not child

  I have not written in a while, it’s not for a lack of things to say, just had other things to deal with. That being said when the hell did we become adults and have to step up and act the norm? I just recently realized I am not the child I remembered and thought I was, although if you ask friends and family I am sure they will disagree with the part that I act normal or like an adult (one penguin suit and everyone judges).

   When did you notice you grew up and I don’t mean because you can vote, carry a gun, buy alcohol, shave your own face or legs in some cases (what can I say I have fabulous legs). At what point can you remember the first time you made an actual adult decision that impacted your life or someone else’s.

   I cannot pin point mine I guess life just made me evolve, good thing too because that prehensile tail would make it difficult using the toilet not to mention square wheels get stuck a lot. 

   I can’t say I miss being a child because I still think I am still a child at heart, with the comments I make and some of the things I do I am still childlike and maybe that is the secret to a better life, as Sidney Friedman once said “Boys and girls, sometimes you have to take off your pants and slide on the ice” (M*A*S*H reference) 

 

   So what is this entry about you ask (and even if you didn’t it’s my blog and you’re not the boss of me), Go forth and do something childlike and see how it makes you feel, don’t resign yourself to; work – home – bills – bed & work all over again even if it is only once this week do something you used to love to, do something less adult, Bumper cars, Beach, feed the ducks, stand at a window and make faces at the family (just make sure it’s your family or that will bring on a whole new look at being and adult and a police warning…trust me).

Until next time fun seekers

Relax and recharge

Coffee by a camp fire, very nice to start the morning

Peaches and Cream

It’s not all peaches and cream

 sometimes its squash pie and sugar free cool whip.

What does that mean besides I like desert? Well it means you don’t always get what you want, just like the rolling Stones song from the 1960’s.

 I wanted a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup truck, but I am driving a 2003 Chevy Blazzer. My aim was to be able to retire when I was of age, but looks like work until age 75 at this rate, so you can see what we get is not always what we want, however that doesn’t mean that it isn’t as good.

 I have a friend that thinks her life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. She is down all the time and it seems that she would rather be a “Debbie Downer” than a happy person, and she gets upset when she can’t make you miserable with her you can actually see it in her attitude.

Now myself on the other hand, I try to find the happy medium and make the best of what I am given, now does that mean I am happy all the time . . . No, but I do my best, I am a firm believer in if you don’t sweat the small stuff the bigger stuff in life won’t hurt as bad when it slaps you in the face with its evil dose of reality.

 Not sure where I was going with this entry, except to sort of vent about “Debbie Downer” and to state the obvious that life isn’t all about getting exactly what we want all the time and that what we want, need and desire also helps define the person we become and who we attract as friends, lovers, companions and co-workers and I have learned that if we are happy with ourselves than we will be happier to be around and less likely be like “Debbie Downer”.

Thanks for your indulgence

Super Megafest 2014

 So one of the reasons I have been absent from the blog is the end of November is a busy time for me, I know I should have done some stuff a head of time but that is kind of like phoning it in.

 So one of the events that was going on in the last two weeks was a Fan/Comic Convention calles Super MegaFest, no way near as large as Comic-Con, but no less the fun and fan fare.

  The guests this year were Lee Majors the star of the 6 million dollar man, Fall Guy and Big Valley. Lindsey Wagner star of the Bionic woman and Warehouse 13, Jamie Kennedy and the list of celebrities goes on so I will just have to show you.

 They had some great Cosplay folks dressed as comic characters, TV, movie characters, a Few United States Marines were there collecting donations for a Christmas charity know as Toys for Tots, instead of giving you a rundown I have taken the liberty of posting some photos below.

 On last thing this year there were 3 of us that went together and our task was to have our photo taken by 3 different predetermined (just to make it harder) super heroes

I would say this was a success

and I accepted a challenge to get my photo with a Doctor Who that was the most original it could be.

Every year I am tasked to get as many photos of costumed crusaders and myself, it has become something of a game that has turned into something bigger than it ever should have to the point that I am getting requests, and believe me when I say my friends do some funny things with the photos, so it is a joke that goes on all year, one idea is to do a Calendar, I have not ruled that out yet either.

 It was a great time, even if you just went to people watch it was a grand time indeed.

See you next time on the Cosmic Mish-Mash
