The 501st.............. I aint Talking about Star Wars for once. But this Post

 

~~>!!--POST/ARTICLE #501--!!<~~

HUZZAH. Just realized that my post Yesterday about my upcoming backpacking trip was my 500th Article. WOW! Honestly surprised, I was curious so I looked it up thinking I'd be somewhere between like 160-maybe 200 tops but NOOOOOOOPE. So Here's to me, Here's to you! Here's to us, and here's to plenty more ridiculous subject matter for me to continue to comment on and create run on sentences for because this isn't High School literature and you're not my teacher who had a PHD in English....yeah

One week until my annual commune with Nature

How exciting! It’s almost that time again to join me and THE WARM BOYZ (with a ‘z’) on our annual excursion into the bosoms of Mother Nature! This year we visit Shenandoah national park in VIRGINIA. :-)

Update!: Just coated my gear in permethrin today. All packed up for the most part. With my new ultralight additions……pre water weight is about 20lbs. Nice.

Mega POST: The Star Wars Celebration (2025)

 

This Article was published on APRIL 21, 2025.......as you can see from the picture above me, Star Wars celebration has come and gone. It was great too. I personally didn't stay up for all the news (Shoot, I live halfway across the world and got kids......I just caught the highlights on the stuff I missed and youtubed it all), but I got caught up to speed. WE got some SWEET projects in the pipeline too. I both love and hate how the FELONIVERSE is starting to occupy all the space in star wars but time will tell how well that web is weaved. If you CONTINUE reading you'll get a rundown of the big reveals over the last weekend in TOKYO as the best week in STAR WARS concluded. BOOMSHAKALAKA

Here's the Low-down: Darth Maul series announced at SW celebration in TOKYO

 Star Wars Celebration was definitely not disappointing this year (to be fair it usually isn't)

Celebration has come and gone (Thanks Tokyo.....sounds like you were lovely) and we already talked about STARFIGHTER but now is time to talk about another BANGER in the works-- A Darth Maul Disney+ animated series.  (woohoo!)

CONTINUE READING to MAUL over the details on some sweet star wars SITH

Fingers crossed its just 'DRIVE' in space-- Ryan Gosling joins the Star Wars universe

Disney/Lucasfilm announced yesterday the official details for Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie, which stars MY BOY.....Ryan Gosling. so now we got:

 The title, release date, and plot. Which im suuuuuuuuuuper jazzed about. If you know anything about me you know I got a man crush on Ryan Gosling and objectively also think he is a very talented actor. Lost River is a great modern day fairy tale but that has nothing to do with this. This is Star Wars

Production on the highly anticipated project is expected to begin sometime this fall. Now officially titled Star Wars: Starfighter, the movie is described as a stand-alone adventure that will take place five years after the events of 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. According to the studio, “it is an entirely new adventure featuring all-new characters set in a period of time that has not been explored on screen yet.”-source: Superherohype.com

Dakk Reakts to: $h!takes in internet comment sections

 Well hello there ladies and gents, another day.....another controversy from BUTTHURT purists.

In a turn of events not at all shocking a new Fantastic Four trailer dropped and something we already new was revealed-- SILVER SURFER IS FEMALE!!!!! the horror (for some). Not surprising at all since Julia Garner was announced, what, over a year ago, but some people still had to find a reason to be mad about it. Nevermind that FF: First steps takes place in an alternate reality and nevermind that Garner is playing the Shalla-Bal, spouse of the Original Surfer (In the OG run Norrin Radd became the herald of galactus to save his world and protect his family) I'm sure none of that has anything to do with it. None of this has really anything to do with where I'm headed towards though..... Because my REAKTS video is just me being triggered by some slimey j@<k@s$ who is seemingly obsessed with the fact that new movies are WOKE because they don't have big boobs in them anymore.... seriously.... that's it. I probably should be "better than that" but today I'm not, and its weird when creeps choose the dumbest hills to die on. So without further ado CONTINUE READING TO here to do a rare thing and throw some specific and earned shade

To be mentioned Later............. Two Upcoming projects.

Star Wars Celebration is poppppppppin off HARD! Holy Macaroni. So I don;t have the time right now do delve but I just seen TWO new projects in the works for STAR WARS

1. A Darth Maul project

2. Star Wars project with RYAN GOSLING

oh Man I CaN't WaIt To TaLk AbOuT tHiS

 Just stumbled across this gem so had to post it……. Ok, time to go make the fam cinnamon rolls and do some chillllllllllllllaxin

Canadian Bacon: A timless cult classic (1995)

Had the privilege of randomly stumbling across this on PRIME VIDEO today. It’s been SOO long since I’ve watched this movie and with all going on in the world I decided to give it a rewatch. And I was NOT disappointed at all, it still holds up. This 1995 classic is going officially on my list of recommended movies you gotta see before you die. I talk about it lore in a short video I made. CONTINUE READING for more.

Dakk reakts to: THE NAKED GUN reboot teaser

 So this has been in the works for a while and I have a sneaking suspicion that they're gonna go the sonic route here and blow our socks off with quality.....on the surface having Liam Neeson reboot TNG and be Frank's son sounds like a LEAP buuuuuuut honestly I'm here for it. I'm all about this, I love the tone of this trailer.

Wholesomeposting because....why not

 I love my momma! We should start there. Saturday was her Birthday (Tomorrow is mine....happy April Fools day in advance because you can't trust anything posted tomorrow) so we took her out for Ice Cream..... Well my son Luke got the taste for some of my Reese's PB cup Flurry and naturally he just was eviscerating it, which inadvertently may have turned him into the Joker.

That's it. That's my story. Short and sweet. The world needs more wholesomeposting so today I am trying to do my part. This kid is soooo stinkin cute I can't even sometimes, but rest assured it balances out with him being a smaller version of me (Which due to karma my parents intensely enjoy seeing lol)

Have a great week!

Agreed Roxane, agreed.

 

Howwwwww Nifty: Wintergatan

Starting off this article with a tease, a sizzle, a taste if you will….. this is simply a pianist reacting to WINTERGATAN (which, if I’m being honest…… not sure if that’s the artist or the machine—maybe both?). I discovered this channel yesterday and went down a rabbit whole and I must say: I’m impressed. While I was perusing this content I also came across a video of Mark Rober and a talking piano, literally, but that’s another subject for another day… in the meantime CONTINUE READING for the low down

Came across this in the wild: and it's......... intriguing

What we have before us is a well articulated snapshot of a freaking fantastic time in music.. Soooooooo, thoughts? feelings? agree or isagree? Discuss, please, I'd like to know your thoughts

MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES MEMES

That's right, been a little weird around here with all the new posts but none of them are MEME ROUND UPS! This has been a fun tradition going back ......shoot...... at least a decade. 

For those who are new and don't know-- I fight in the MEME wars, been a soldier since 2009. Periodically I throw up my nets and dredge my social media feeds for some DANK memes and good laughs. So if you continue reading you'll see some notable ones I've recently found. With our current political landscape there is obviously a plethora of material available but I'm keeping it fun and light hearted and steering away from the politics on this one. ENJOY! 

Happy St. Patrick's Day everybody!

When Science IS magic: Turning CO2 into FUEL

 

(Image Source: here)

Just came across an article on GIZMODO.com that is: 1. Super neat-o, 2. Straight Sci-fi and 3. Groundbreaking

The image you see above is from a reactor created by researchers at the University of Cambridge, no it isn't a FAKE HEART either wakka wakka. "What kind of reactor is it Mr. random blogger whome I've never met but I assume is extremely handsome" You may say (and schucks for that, you made me blush)

and to that I answer with: WELL..... it is one that, ohhhhhh I don't know maybe one that..... let's just say

one thaaaat collects CO2 by night and turns it into a useful gas by day. (No big deal, except wait....yes a VERY BIG DEAL)

Kathleen Kennedy is (NOT) retiring

 

That's right folks. You just read that right. Today (Feb 28, 2025) she addressed the week long rumor that she will be retiring. So........ COMPLETELY sidestepping the hot-button issue of her helming the STAR WARS franchise and the division that it has directly/in-directly created over the last decade, here is the scoop in case you missed it (continue reading for more!)
