I am what I am. I like food, photography, and anything that does not involve getting mortally wounded, or dying. I don't take things too seriously, so i'm not at all that serious about being serious. Seriously, just have fun, which is what I like to do sometimes, as long as I don't die, or get mortally wounded.

Earworm: 80’s Theme’s Edition – Mask, Silver Hawks, Bravestarr, Defenders of the Earth

Continuing with our Earworm Cartoon’s Tehem’s  Edition, we start off with M.A.S.K. or Mobile Armored Strike Kommand.  They went against the evil criminal organization called V.E.N.O.M or Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem.

What’s cool about this cartoon was that the vehicles can turn into other vehicles, like M.A.S.K.’s leader Matt Trakker’s Camaro can transform into a plane.  The drivers,  also wore Masks with special abilities.  I can’t remember much, but it was quite entertaining, and the toy’s were super cool too.

Next up is Silver Hawks.  Basically space cops fighting space mob’s.  They were partly metal and partly real. The theme to this was catchy, really catchy, and I think ranks 2nd in my list of cartoon theme’s (Bionic Six ranks 1st).

The cartoon was also essentially a space version of Thunder Cats.

Next up is Bravestarr.  A futuristic cowboy with the strength of a bear, eyes of the hawk, speed of a puma, ears of a wolf  and the kicker, a kick ass horse for a partner, as a kid, sounds like a winner.  The theme is not as catchy as the above, but hey, still gives me nostalgic chills whenever I hear it.

And lastly, Defenders of the Earth.  Basically a team featuring characters from Kings Features Syndicate comics.  I never got to see this in it’s original run, but thank goodness for syndication, re-runs were showed in the 90’s and even though I was older, I still enjoyed watching it.  The theme is pretty kick ass too.

This was shot during a Euro Car meet sometime in February.  It’s an acquaintances Brand New Golf .:R, one of the first to be delivered in NY in fact. It’s a thing of beauty, and while some might say it’s an overpriced GTI, and I sort of agree, but, you have to be a Dubber to understand.

I think I do need to re-process this shot.  It looks too BLUE!

Random Flickr Photo of the Day – September 19, 2012

This is one of the shots from my failed attempt at doing a 365 series titled ‘Where is Garfield Now?’ or WIGN for short. The basic premise was to shoot a Garfield Pez dispenser in different places/scenarios for 365 days. It was totally random, and it all started when I picked up a Garfield Pez dispenser at a garage sale. I did over 150 odd some days. I do have about a dozen unposted shots, but after falling behind in posting it, I ended up scrapping the whole thing.

I’ve been meaning to do it again since, but just haven’t found the main subject as appealing as Garfield.

Anyway, this was Day 28 and the description I put was as follows;

“Garfield decided just to stay at home today, and chill w/ some buddies.
He also told Optimus and Soundwave that the new movie didnt wiggle his tail, unlike the first one.

(I was stuck at home….so i know, this was a lame one)

Where is Garfield now?

Earworm: 80’s Cartoon Theme’s Edition – Bionic Six and Centurions

I think I mentioned something about doing an Earworm with 80’s Cartoon theme’s.  I think I was going to do it last week, but some reason or another, I didn’t.

In any case, here is the first entry.  Due to the shortness of the videos, I will probably be doing a few per entry.

First up Bionic Six.  It possible has one of the best themes to date.  I didn’t get to see this cartoon much back in the Philippines.  Only sometime in the late 90’s when they started doing re-runs at like 5:00 am, I was able to re-enjoy this classic cartoon.  It still bring a smile to my face when ever I hear the opening drum beats, and the bubbly music.

Up next is Centurions.  This one I got the pleasure of seeing when I was younger, and I remember playing pretend with my old friend back in the old country.  I always used to like Max.  “Man and Machine, Power Extreme”, was their catch phrase.  The characters were all cliched, but as a kid, you didn’t care.  I always wondered if Crystal ever got lonely up in that space station.

 

 

More to come tomorrow!

Nothing really special today, another photo testing out how the bokeh looks on my then new Canon Powershot S95.
I wasn’t expecting much, but I do like the creamyness that it produces.

Random Flickr Photo of the Day – September 17, 2012

Some months ago, I got to visit Vancouver BC, up in the pacific northwest. What a beautiful place. Weather was nice and cool, despite the rain. We got to sta in West Vancouver, and a few blocks away was the Lonsdale Quay. A market place if you will on a pier, similar to South Street Seaport in NYC.

It was very early in the AM, as we were still in Eastern Standard time, and the place was still empty. While checking out the views, there was this Tug Boat, just floating, waiting to be put to work that day.

At this time, I was just sort of getting into Instagram, and I snapped a photo with my Motorola Droid Bionic. I really like how the shot came out, and with Instagram’s filters, it gave the shot some sort of personality.

I have reservations about Instagram still, as it makes us photographers that slave at post-processing, editing to make our shot(s) how we want it to look, look easy. Gives everyone else the idea that it’s not that complicated.

Anyway, that’s for another time and rant to be discussed ina future blog (maybe).

Enjoy!

Earworm: “Pork and Beans” – Weezer

I don’t know how or why, but this song has been stuck in my head.  I’ve been humming it for a while. The video is flippin awesome too.  Takes a poke at everything on the intertubes.

Enjoy it!

 

I hope everyone had a fantabulous weekend.
