Just some random post

Howdy folks,

Seems I've been pretty absent of late.  For that I apologize, between work and real life stuff, it's been pretty difficult to find any time to get down and right something.   So, I'm checking in with y'all.

Anyone who knows me, knows I'm a gamer.  With that, I ask this, what is your most favorite video game of all time? Any games you're looking forward too in the new year?  Console you can't live without?  I.E. PS3, Wii, 360?

Two games I'm looking forward to are Bioshock: Infinite and Dead Space 3.  They're coming out in February, and dang I'm on pins and needles.  My fingers are getting itchy just thinking about it.

Let me know y'all.  You know I all ways look forward to your feedback!

Love Me.. Love My Hot Wheels

The Hot Wheels Showroom Series

Various Series, Including Batman, Speed Racer and Back To The Future

Yeah.. some may think that I'm a bit childish at times.  But I think if you keep your inner child active, there's nothing you can't face.  It helps in this uncertain world.  You see... what I do to ward off reality, I collect Hot Wheels.. and here they are.

Here We Are!

Yeah, here it is, December 22 - 2012.  So....the Earth didn't get hit with a meteor, it didn't collapse or fall into the sun, we weren't over-run with the Zombie Apocolypse, so what happened?

I'll tell ya what happened... absolutely nothing, nada, zip, zilch.  Big surprise right?  No calendar is gonna tell ya when the world is gonna end.  The sun rose Dec.21st and went down without incident. 

Our time on this planet is short to begin with, so why buy into all the hype?  It's all bull if you ask me.  People have been predicting the end of time since... well, the beginning of time, honestly.

That's why, when I hear crap like that, I pretty much just do nothing about it.  It's not worth worrying about, I live my life and enjoy each minute that I am given.   As everyone should.

A Skidz Kidz Christmas

The boys had a plan to see Santa, unfortunately they just couldn't keep their little eyes open and quickly fell into dreamland.

To you and yours, may you have the best of holidays, however you may spend it. From all of us here at BPS and 4B, Merry Christmas!

The Working Bear - Part 4

Greetings y'all,

It's been a few days since I've posted, sorry for that.  I've been pretty busy lately, acclimating myself to the new job and the new hours.  Fortunately, all of the dull, online training stuff is done.  Now I get to work on the floor, learning the register, lotto and gas pumps.  It's pretty basic stuff really, but let me say this, it's a steady paycheck.

For those who are searching for a job, be patient and don't be picky in this economy.  Sure you may have that degree or all those years under the belt, but in these times, take the bull by the horns, swallow your pride and take that job if it's offered to you.  No job is beneath you.

Mostly I'm saying this for all those people out there that say there is no job for them, and they wouldn't be caught dead flipping burgers.  I'll ask this, would you rather be living in your parents basement, living off your friends, living off anyone that will give you a handout?  Or would you rather have a paycheck for your hard work?  The choice, my friends, is in your hands.

I know it's hard out there, I've lived it first hand.  So, take a deep breath and get out there, there are more jobs than you're thinking.  You may be surprised if a little effort is put forth. 

If someone like me, who's been outta work for longer than I care to say, can do it, certainly other people can too.  That's all I'm sayin'.

What's So Bad About Living In The Past?

Everything That Was Cool About Being An 80s Kid

Then & Now: Animation

I'm not gonna entirely bash what we have in the present right now.  Given the chance though, I'd so go back to the 80s.   The music, in my opinion, was better.  Television, forget about it, quality programming there.  Yes, I'm an 80s child, I actually grew up during that generation.  Let me throw you a couple of examples okay.. first of all:

Saturday Morning Cartoons, what happened?  They're practically non-existent anymore, unless of course you have cable and then.. well it's a crap shoot.  Here.. this is what I grew up with:

Most of these shows ran for many years.  The animation was slick, the storylines were a lot of fun, and really worth watching.

Here's what we're stuck with today:

What can I say about this mess?  Really?  Animation sucks, it's just plain lazy and cookie cutter.  I have a lot of other examples to go on, but these hold the worst of the worst for me.














Y'all may have different opinions on what you like and don't like.  This was just my opinion.  It also shows just how lazy some people can be.  My advice to future animators, look to those great artists of the past.  You may find that they have a lot to offer, it may take a little longer to hone your craft, but let me say this, it will work out in the long run, and not be another cutting room floor reject.
