Salt Lake Comic Con 2015

I wanted to post this how many days ago, but I've been sick. I loved the Comic Con this year. It was great and I'm glad I went Gold this year. Maybe for Fan X or the next Comic Con, I will get VIP.
There was no long line to stand in waiting to get in this year. I'm so glad we got wristbands and everything in the mail and registered online. I'm happy that the Con was more organized this year.  I think they still need more work, though. The longest line I stood in the whole Con was while I was waiting to get my autograph with Ian. I waited a good three hours in that line and how many people didn't even have a paid autograph and they had sold out online. They should have only let people in the line that had already paid for an autograph. And I waited another almost two hours in the photo op line. That was crazy because they gave a time to show up and a group and when I got over there, you just got in a line. There needed to be more organization. And I found out that people had bought photo ops at the Con. They were sold out online and then they sold more at the Con. It was crazy.
Ian was awesome though and it was worth the wait to meet him. I think he took time with every fan because he is such a great guy. He tried to make personal contact with everyone he met. My sister said he had a lot of positive energy and he did. He sure made me feel good after our picture.
I can say I was one of the lucky people who was able to get into the Chris Evans panel. He was only onstage for about 20 minutes and then Anthony Mackie was on for about a half hour. I sat for about four hours for their panel and then Ian's. I guess the last day was equal sitting and standing.
My sister and I stayed down in Salt Lake at a hotel for two nights. It was nice because we didn't have to waste time driving back and forth or looking for somewhere to park every day.
I loved seeing all the people who dressed up because some costumes were great. Others were not so great, but I hope everyone had fun. I wish I would have been able to look around more in the vendors area, but I got a lot of stuff. I even got me two Constantine comics to read.
Out of all the panels I went to, I think Marina Sirtis was the best. I laughed and she was really entertaining. Linda Blair had an interesting panel and she mostly talked about her charity. I love that how many of the stars at this Con love animals and try to help them.
Well that's about all I have to say. It was a great Con and I'm looking forward to Fan X in March and the next Comic Con. Hopefully, more great actors and actresses will come here so that I can finally meet them in person.

John Denver - "Whose Garden Was This"

 This song is sad and I'm sure one day it will be true. This world was once a beautiful garden and just to know everything we are doing to it. We are destroying not just our world but ourselves. I wonder what this world is going to look like in just 10 or 20 years. It sure has changed since I was a kid. I remember there was a time when I breathed clean air and could be out in the sun all day without getting burned. Now, you can get burned in less than 10 minutes out in the direct sunlight when the UV index is high and the air is so polluted at times that I have a hard time breathing it. I remember a time when I could stand in my backyard and watch the sun set on the Great Salt Lake and now I can't even see it because of all the homes that have been built. There used to be a time when I wanted to go to other places on this Earth, but now I no longer want to. How many of them have been ruined and destroyed already. I always wanted to go to Africa and go on a safari to see the wild animals. How many of those animals are no longer on this Earth or they are so rare you will never see them. And one day I doubt there will be any land left for animals and it will just be wall to wall people. I just hope I'm dead and gone before this world totally turns into a world I don't want to be in.

Upcoming TV Season and Old TV Shows

I've been how excited waiting for all my old TV shows to start and now I'm not that excited. I've been looking at how much stuff lately and I'm so disappointed in what's coming up for how many of my shows. First off is Vampire Diaries. I don't know if I will continue to watch. It was bad enough having to watch the Damon and Elena romance because it was so boring and the Stefan and Caroline romance. Now, there is going to be a lesbian couple. Knowing how Vamp Diaries usually shows a lot of sexual content, I've no doubt that we will see this couple kissing and doing who knows what else. I don't care if the show has a gay couple, but I do not want to see the sexual side of the relationship on my screen. Sometimes I don't even want to see the other couples having sex. It sometimes is more explicit than a rated R movie. I remember trying out some new show on CW and there was a gay couple and the sex scene went on for a long time and I finally had to turn the channel. I don't want to see that. If I wanted to watch sex or porn, I would look somewhere else. I want to see good stories and interesting characters, not a ton of sex on TV. I don't care what characters get together or love each other or have sex. I just don't think it needs to be shown on TV. You can have the characters kiss and go in the bedroom and wake up in the morning together and talk about it, but why does it have to be constantly shown like a porno.
I can't believe that ABC has shown promos for Blood and Oil during family shows and it has two characters in the middle of having sex. I guess TV has gone back to permitting everything. Once they got those stupid ratings, they just ended up making shows have more violence, sex and swearing.
I have nothing against gay people or whatever they call that community today, nor do I support them. Frankly, I don't care what people do in their own bedrooms, but I do not want to see how much of it on TV. It seems like all the channels and shows are now jumping on the gay bandwagon and adding or making characters become gay or lesbian. I will watch Once Upon A Time and see what they do with that story. If it becomes too much, then I will be done with the show or I will just tune out those scenes and concentrate on the other characters of the show. As for Vampire Diaries, just watching that clip I saw made me not want to watch at all. I wonder how many more new characters are going to be appearing. I've always loved new characters, but lately, I haven't like or cared about any. As for this new lesbian couple, don't care about them already, nor do I want to see that. Thursday night is going to be crammed with shows and I know I'll be watching The Blacklist, but I don't know about any other show. It will depend when Sleepy Hollow is on, whether I watch it or not.
I'm excited for Gotham and I hope it stays good. I personally loved last year and I hate how they keep saying they've improved the show from last season and it will be better. I loved the first season and I guess I'll see if I love the second season or not. I'm sure the writers are going to make the show more like a soap opera, like everything else on TV. It seems like that's what all the shows I watch are. Just night time soaps.
I've been watching old TV shows and remembering why I loved them so much. They were mostly free from all the crap of TV today. A lot of them made you laugh and smile and feel good inside. That's the main reason I've loved TV. I want to watch something that will be as far away from my life as possible and something that will make me feel good. I've been watching High Mountain Rangers on YouTube and I remember how much I loved that show. It didn't have very many episodes, but it was a great show.
I also started to watch Friday The 13th: The series. I love this show now as much or more as I loved it back when I was younger. I loved the characters and the story. I loved how they were trying to get back all those cursed objects and what all the objects did. Maybe that's why I loved Supernaturals first season so much because it was like this show. Now, Supernatural is a soap opera and Sam and Dean do more harm than good. At least Mickey and Ryan didn't know about the antiques when they sold them, but after they sold some, they tried to get them back, plus what their uncle had sold.
I bought the DVDs to watch of the first two seasons and I've been watching on my Kindle.
To finish this post, I will say I'm excited for The Voice and Shark Tank to come on. I started watching Shark Tank and I love it now. I guess I'm starting to love reality shows or something. I remember a time when I hated them and would not watch them at all. I guess with the decline of good scripted shows and dramas, then that's all you have left.
Here's to hoping that some of my shows will be good. I don't know if I'll be watching all my favorite shows this season or not. Or if they will remain my favorites. TV keeps going downhill and I find myself reading more books again.
I guess time will tell and I'll watch and see what happens.

Supernatural season 11: Thoughts and Predictions

I just had to use this weirdo pic because it about sums up what Supernatural is all about. All these characters have split personalities and you never know which one you're going to see at any given time. They all should be in a loony bin somewhere getting shock treatments. Now that would be great for the last episode of the series. Sam and Dean wake up and they were really in a mental hospital the whole time and Castiel was their doctor and Crowley was the one who gave them shock therapy.
I watched the promo for season 11 and I actually felt a twinge of excitement until I remembered that's how I felt at the beginning of season 7 before the show turned into crap. Maybe the first half of season 11 will be good and then the writers will run out of steam and it will probably be all down hill from there. I don't expect much from the writers because they have not given me much for the last couple of seasons now.
Sam is going to be having visions. Wow! How long has it been since his last vision? Pretty long. I'm sure Sam's visions are going to be coming from Lucifer. Dean is going to have visions as well and I'm sure his will be from God. Seeing how Dean is the righteous man and God loves him above all others. I also read that we find out Sam had an imaginary friend. Who didn't know that? The writers. Lucifer has always been Sam's imaginary friend. I'm sure it was him who convinced Sam that he needed to get away from his rotten family and work a job and live normal and safe. That's not God's way because Dean has always followed God by stealing, killing, lying and having sex with whoever or whatever he can get.
The promo made it look like Crowley and Castiel will have something to do this season.  I'm sure the promo is making it look this way and really Rowena will have a way better story than Crowley yet again. I'm sure by the middle of the season, Castiel will be back to his usual boring self.
I love how snivels are already sniveling about poor Dean not having any story. Dean will be the front and center like always. The show has revolved around darling Dean since the very beginning and I doubt it will ever stop.
I wonder if the Darkness is going to be as stupid as the Mark Of Cain. Probably.
Now on to some predictions for the season. I'm sure good old Charlie will reappear in some form or another. That stupid Claire will probably show up yet again and I'll be bored to tears. Scary part is, I'd rather see stupid Charlie than stupid Claire. They both suck and I just want to turn the channel, but I can bet that both or one of them shows up multiple times this season. Another horrible female character is Rowena. I can stand her more than the other two, but I still don't want to see her dominating the whole show. I'm sick of these stupid female characters they keep shoving in our faces. I remember when Bela and Ruby were on the show. Neither one of them dominated an episode and Ruby is still pretty much a mystery as far as I'm concerned. I really wanted to know more about her character, but we never go to find out because fans hated her. The only reason most fans hated her was because she was involved with Sam. If she had been hot for Dean, then they would have loved her.Whatever. I've realized that any character that associates and likes Dean is loved and any character that associates or likes Sam is hated. So basically most fans love Dean and hate Sam. Doesn't matter what most of them say about either character, it's how the other characters that interact with them are treated by the fandom that prove how much they are loved or hated.
I haven't watched any episodes of Supernatural now for over four months and counting. I want to forget that the last 10 years of the show ever happened. For me to even like or enjoy season 11, I'm going to have to think of Sam and Dean as new characters that I don't know at all. Maybe I'll pretend that they died when the darkness swept over the car and these are new darker versions of them.
Hopefully, I'll like more episodes this season than last. Last season was the worst season ever and I never want to see or even think about any of those episodes again ever, even though a few were good. If this season doesn't start out good and keep going, then it will be time to drop the show for good. I'll find out what happens after the show is over and done with.

One last thing before I go. I'm so happy that I do not go to any Cons anymore. I looked on the site and now they have to tell fans not to tell their sob stories to the stars and at the panels. They really need someone to start moderating at the Cons and make sure fans don't ask stupid questions, tell their dumb sob stories or try to get sympathy from the stars for whatever.
Well that's all for now.

Walk The Moon - Shut Up and Dance (performed by Taylor Mathews)

I just love Taylor Matthews. He has such a unique and power voice. This is a great new song by him and I love listening to it. I love listening to his music at work. I just wish more people could discover Taylor and they would love him and his beautiful voice as much as I do. I can't wait for more and I'll never be able to get enough.

July Pics 2015

July was a great month. At the beginning of the month, I went to Colorado with my sister. We went to go and visit her two boys and my nephews. Loved spending time with them because I never got to spend time with them when they were children. I'm happy that I'll have these memories to look back on. I appreciate all the time I spend with the people I love. Whether they are family or friends.
My one nephew came back from Colorado and spent two weeks here. We went to the Lagoon, Wendover, The Aquarium and I know I had a great time. I cherished all the time I spent with my nephew, my grandnephews and my sister.
I took some crazy pics and some fun pics. I look back on last month and I think the best memory I have and will always remember is my nephew and grandnephew playing Guitar Hero. I don't know why, but it's just like time froze for a minute while I was watching them and listening to that music. I will never forget it.
Well that's it for now. This July will go down as one of the best I've ever had.

In Honor Of Cecil The Lion

My Johnny named this lion Cecil. What is sad is that one day, the only place we will see lions are in a zoo, pictures or animated ones. It would be nice to see a lion out in the wild from a distance and have the knowledge that it's free and alive. I always get sad seeing them at the zoo. It's sad that there are very few lions still wild out there. I don't know why, but seeing all the pics of Cecil and what that stupid hunter did to him, just have depressed me so much. It was a beautiful proud lion that was beloved and some idiot ended his life so horribly. I just can't understand what kind of person enjoys killing anything. The only reason I think people kill animals is to get some kind of power trip. The sad thing is, these idiots will never understand that power is just an illusion.
I've been getting so sad reading about all the animals that are endangered, threatened, being tortured and horribly killed for the sickest of reasons. This Earth was once a beautiful paradise that we were given and all we've done is turned it into a living hell. I think about things all the time and I guess it's just a luck of the draw. While some animals are revered, others are slaughtered and tortured. I do believe animals have souls and how many animals have saved human beings lives and they've asked for nothing in return but love. It's sad that we can't even love one other, let alone love all the creatures that inhabit this planet with us. We hate, torture and kill each other and we do the same to animals. Sometimes I feel we are the only real animals on this planet. We were born with intellect, but we choose to let are baser instincts rule us. I love how we do nothing to stop our own overpopulation of this planet, but heaven forbid if any animals overpopulate. And most of the time it's because of us that this happens. We kill how many animals a day and a lot of them for no other reason than they are taking up too much space or they are a nuisance or some other dumb reason.
I'm not some crazy vegan either. I eat meat and I think some animals are meant for us to eat, but they should be killed swiftly and with as little pain as possible. Animals in the wild kill other animals to eat and we are just at the top of the food chain. People will always eat meat, so there will always be animals that are killed for meat. I saw the videos about what happens to the chickens, cows and pigs and it broke my heart. I eat chicken, but I never really thought about what happened or how the chickens were killed. By me not eating chicken, will people stop killing chicken. Highly unlikely. I guess you have to look at all sides of things. I sometimes think if I didn't go to a restaurant or a fast food place to eat some chicken, what would happen? I'm sure tons of good food goes in the trash, so that poor chicken or cow died for nothing. I guess that's how I have to see things. I don't eat a lot of meat. I mainly eat chicken when I do eat meat. But, I eat cheese and drink milk. I hope those vegans who claim people can't stand up for animal rights don't eat cheese, eggs, or drink milk or any dairy product. Those animals are not treated any better and most end up being killed for meat after. Farmers kill how many animals to keep them away from their crops, so going vegan is not helping to save animals either.
Animals should be treated with dignity and respect. They should not be tortured or abused before being slaughtered. You'd think we'd be grateful to them for giving up their lives for us. That's how I would be if I had to hunt for my food and I had to kill an animal to eat so that I could survive. Most days, I would gladly give up my life for an animal because I don't think my life means anymore than theirs do.
I love animals because a certain cat named Mully was my angel straight from Heaven. She gave me love when I could not love myself and I didn't think anyone else loved me. She was always there for me when I was at my saddest and it's funny because she was an animal. Where was all the love from human beings. She gave me comfort and love and that's why I will always love animals because they do love just like we do.

Vampire Diaries Season 7 And More

I just love Paul and Ian because they are so cute together. I can't wait until I get my shirt with them both on it. I'm going to get the sweatshirt. Stefan and Damon are my most favorite brothers on TV.
I can't wait to see what's going to happen in season 7 with their mother. I hope there is a lot of tension between them. One thing I will not be happy to see in season 7 is a romance between Caroline and Stefan. I like them as friends and nothing more. I guess I'll just tune it out if they start kissing or getting romantic. I want greats stories, not more stupid romance. I don't think I'm even going to miss Elena. It was like I didn't care about her at all last season. I loved Elena when the show first started and I loved Nina playing both characters. I did not care to see the Elena and Damon romance. I still don't think they had any kind of chemistry between them. I watched them together and I just got bored and started playing on my Kindle. I hope Bonnie gets a better story because I love her character and it would be nice to see her more on the show. I just know I'll love Vampire Diaries if there is a great story going on. I don't care what characters have left or who's on the screen. I do want to see more scenes between Damon and Stefan though. I love their chemistry as brothers.
I haven't seen a lot of spoilers for my other shows and I really don't look at them all that much. They never spoil my shows anyway. I can't wait for Once Upon A Time. It looks like this season will be better than ever with Emma being dark and I can't wait to see what happens with my poor Rumple and Belle.
I watched some of the crap from the SDCC for Supernatural. It looks like it will be the same old tired crap as usual. I love listening to the lies every year. I love how Jared said there will be nothing between Sam and Dean like Ruby or Benny. I think Jared left out the one idiot that drove the deepest wedge between Sam and Dean ever and that was Castiel. He did so much crap and now they are all just buddy buddy. It makes me sick. I saw that ugly shirt Jared has out now. I hate those stupid moose antlers and I will not be buying that shirt like I didn't buy the shirt with his and Jensen's faces stuck together. I also think Jared should just buy his own plane and stop flying with any airline. None of them can live up to his high standards.
I've been watching the show The Whispers and loving it. Don't know if it will get renewed or not and right now I don't care. I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts. I doubt I'm going to be watching any new show on TV this coming season. There really is no point to it, when most of them will be cancelled anyway. It seems like anything I watch gets cancelled. I hope to enjoy all my favorite returning shows and I will have to watch how many of them on Hulu again because now three of them are all on at the same time on Thursday night. I just love the stupid networks when they move shows around. I probably will not be watching The Originals because I have no idea what happened the last half of last season and I doubt I'll ever catch up. I'll probably be watching Sleepy Hollow on the weekends and hopefully it will be good or I'll stop watching it. Last season it was kind of weird. There were some good episodes and some not so good episodes. I guess I'll see what happens.
Well that's all for now.
