A Day Long Remembered...

So I haven't been writing like I have in the past. As you know from my most recent blog, we have a recent edition to the family and life has been hectic. Matter of fact I'm writing this from home right now as Lil Bit has kept me out of work all week battling bronchial pneumonia. She is doing a lot better now but won't be returning to her normal routines til Monday.

Yet, that's not why I'm writing today. Today marks the anniversary of the premiere of Star Wars The Clone Wars TV show on Cartoon Network. It launched a whole new group of people into a Star Wars fandom which leads to today: October 3rd, 2014. Tonight at 9:00 PM EST, A new chapter begins. The long anticipate premiere of Star Wars Rebels hits our TVs tonight on Disney XD!





The anticipation for this new show has been building since it was announced and The Clone Wars ended. Of course, Disney and Lucasfilm have released a number of clips and promos, all keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. 

My anticipation for this show has been enhanced by the fact I have blessed to have been able to meet the majority of the cast of Rebels at Star Wars Weekends this year. Vanessa Marshall, Tiya Sircar, Steve Blum, and Taylor Gray were incredible to meet and each was so excited to be apart of the Star Wars Universe. Seeing their fan friendly natures and their true excitement was awe inspiring!

I can honestly say I didn't think this day would arrive!

My plans have changed for the premiere. I was planning on a big get together with fellow Star Wars fans, but with Lil Bit's illness, I'm going to be watching it alone, in my Star Wars room. Sorry Robbie! After its all said and done, I'll be "attending" a Google Hangout hosted by the Cantina Cast (a Star Wars fan podcast) to hear thoughts and first impressions of the new episode. Then I'll blog my own thoughts here while waiting on Craig Dickinson's review to hit the Coffee With Kenobi website in the morning. 

This is going to be a lot of fun!

I can't remember if I have mentioned this or not yet, but I'm also blogging one a month for the Star Wars podcast Coffee With Kenobi. My posts go up on the 28th of each month so go check them out at here. There are a lot of other great bloggers there too, check them out while you are there.

As for me I'm going to wrap this up for now. Lil Bit is calling. So until next time...

Live long and prosper,

May the Force be with you,

but more importantly, may God's blessing and love be with you all the days of your life.

Daddy/Daughter Date Night

Image
So my geek out blogs are usually about geek things: Star Wars, Star Trek, even a recent one was about Muppet Babies. I had every intention to sitting down and writing a blog about the wonders of the Star Wars community of fans....but after tonight, that has been placed on hold. Oh I'll write it eventually, but something happened tonight that made my day, my week, and my month. I'm talking about a date. Oh yes, I had a date. This was a special date too. I was able to spend the evening with my precious 6 year old daughter Kailynn. What an evening it was!!!! My wife went out for a girls night with a friend, so Kailynn and I went and had a wonderful dinner at Pizza Hut. She was so excited, cause she got to use a free pizza coupon she earned at school for reading some books (she has 2 more on the fridge, she LOVES reading). While we waited on the pizza, we played Hungry Hungry Hippo on my cellphone. We followed it up with ice cream at Dairy Queen and then we came home. Once we got

My MegaCon 2014 Experience

Image
So at the last minute, at the behest of my friend Robbie and his brother Angelo, I headed out Saturday morning for to the Orange County Convention Center to attend Megacon 2014. The announcement of my trip to Megacon scored more likes on Facebook than I expected and to be perfectly honest, I had no clue what to expect. Sure, I have been to several conventions....through my church...and they were nothing like this. So this was my first official con. Robbie and Angelo had attended several over the years, from Megacon to multiple Star Wars Celebrations. I had heard stories of conventions past, but to experience the excitement, craziness and pure fandom at a convention is unparalleled. Besides Robbie and Angelo, I knew no one. So Robbie picked me up early Saturday morning and off we went to Orlando. Angelo, being an active member in the Rebel Legion, was already over at the convention center attending to booth the Legion had set up. We arrived, thinking the convention started at 9 A.

My 2019 New Year's Resolutions

Since I missed New Years due to my social media break, it seems only right that my second blog back should be about my New Year’s resolutions. So with that, allow me to share what I have decided to do in 2019. Like most people I make resolutions each year, and like the majority of people, by February, I have failed miserably and have gone back to my old ways. Its happened way too many times for me to be comfortable with. I have always said I’m not a quitter but my track record with these resolutions would say otherwise.
