Every month a new spotlight shines on a theme where each day of that month a new character or concept is revealed. Television; Pop Culture; Mascots; Cartoons; Films or maybe a season. Nothing is off the limits.

VAL KILMER

In 1994, I was not particularly happy about the news of ‘Batman 3’. Michael Keaton choosing not to do the third installment of the franchise. He had defined the film adaptation of the character. 'Batman' (1989) was great and 'Batman Returns' (1992) was okay but too violent in my regards. I was doubtful that Val Kilmer was going to be able to fill those shoes. He was great in ‘Top Gun’; ‘Tombstone’; ‘The Doors’, but this was different. This was BATMAN!! Batman is larger then l

MY TOP TEN FAVORITE SCOOBY DOO INSPIRED ANIMATED SHOWS

'Scooby Doo Where Are You?' came out in 1968. Hanna Barbara struck gold with this show. A Great Dane teamed up with two guys and two girls (all teenagers). One is the leader, Fred, who always has a plan. Velma, the smart one who can think through the problems. Daphne, well meaning but a bit clumsy and pretty. And Shaggy, the comic relief. He and Scooby Doo (The Dog) are coward who want to get out of trouble and eat. Funny enough, Scooby and Shaggy are the ones who save the da

MY FIFTEEN FAVORITE YOUTUBE CHANNELS

I don't watch much regular television anymore. I do sometimes. Quite selective in choices, but otherwise I watch youtube. Honestly, it's more focused on my interests without too much general wide eye for everyone programming. As many who read my articles on a regular, I am a geek. Professional wrestling; Christianity; bad films; comic books; Transformers; Spider-Man; Doctor Who are my wheel house. Throw in some chat about toys and I will at least consider viewing your channel

FAVORITE ANTHROPOMORPHIC CARTOON CHARACTERS

Definition: Anthropomorphic: described or thought of as having a human form or human attributes. In this situation, has an exaggerated appearance that resembles an animal but walks; talks; thinks and might wear clothes like a human/person. In cartoon/comic realities, much of the time, no one seems to notice that these differences should be alarming. Different Rules. The list is made up of cartoons and comic strips that I hope any and all will take time to find out more about

WHAT I AM MEANT TO DO?

I am a Security Guard. Yeah. Been one for almost 22 years. The longest run in any job I have ever held. The longest run that anyone in my immediate family has ever done in one job. Not a bad run. Has had it's ups and downs. Dealt with some wonderful people and dealt with some better not remembered for their behavior. I'm king of the asylum so to speak. I didn't think I would be here this long. I have stayed because it fit what my family needs. It is a job and not my life. Tha

THE VARIOUS REOCCURRING DUOS FROM 'THE PEANUTS'

Yeah, Charles Schulz had a tendency of pairing up his characters for particular story lines that continued on for decades in some cases. Each revisited from time to time that worked for building this beloved cast. 1. Charlie Brown and Snoopy: Snoopy is Charlie Brown's dog who acts more like a brother. Always gets the best of his owner. Snoopy is loyal to his Charlie Brown. 2. Charlie Brown and Linus: Best Friends though Linus is slightly younger. Linus offers Charlie Brown sa

MARCH 7TH, 2018

Seven years is a long time. Nice an odd of a number. It can be both a long time and short time as well. Depending on how good or a bad memory it holds. Drags out to infinity. Hops and skips over the boredom of everyday. All perception, I guess. A time to remember and learn. Maybe a time to move on. Many choices. Today, March 7th, I will go back seven years. That would of been 2018. And I start with a text message. 'I'm Sorry Baby, He Slipped Away'. My wife, Kelly, was the one

FEBRUARY 28TH, 1986

Thirty nine years is a long time to remember anything outside of a birth; marriage or a friendship. What I remember is the start of a moment that changed my life for the good. Friday, February the 28th of 1986 was the day I saw a Doctor for what I thought was the flu. It was not the flu. I was skinny; pale; terrible rash on my legs; couldn't ride a bike or swim. No balance. Quite emotional at times. Nausea and dizzy more often then not. To this day my memory is hazy in some p

I HATE THE IDEA OF DEATH

In my almost fifty years I have lost people and it never get easier. It is always sad. Never helps in saying that said person, 'is out of pain or they are in a better place. Lived a long fulfilling life. Will be remembered for the life that was lived.' All this is very true. Of course it is. Unfortunately, it is all air to those left behind. The memories help the pain. Keepsakes left behind help the pain, but the pain does not go away. It remains in a much more manageable sta
