Heroes Gather

While going through hollywood the other day, I ran into this. Really have no idea what was going on but wish I was able to stop and check it out. Now yes, I know, not all of them are superheroes, since there is clearly a Mysterio, but who cares? it looked like it might have been fun.

CNY ’20 – Parade End Ceremony

Seems I had less video than I thought. Anyways, after the parade had gone by I walked down the street with my friend. We headed to the starbuck at the end of the route to pick some water up and that’s hen I learned about this.

Warning! it gets real loud!

Tornadus

Got myself another legendary on Pokemon go, Tornadus. The only purely flying type pokemon that I know of. It took 3 raid battles to finally catch this guy, and he was a lot of trouble to get. I think the only ones I had a harder time with was Mewtwo and Kyorge.

Don’t Repeat Past Mistakes

After all, that is the reason we learn about history, right? One instance I can remember learning about as a kid involved both world wars. Before the first war there was a lot of tension between France and Germany to a point everyone was expecting things to blow up at any moment. So to prepare themselves France set up fortification along the border incase the Germans attacked and would be taken down. To get around that Germany literally went around and plowed their way through Belgium to catch the French by surprise.

Twenty Five years later France sets up the Maginot Line and completely forgets what the Germans did the last time, and fell. That’s just one instance, and it seems history repeats itself far more often than we all realize like we have done before in our own country. A nation isn’t meant be run like a business because they are two completely different things. I also remember coming across a quote from Adam Smith, the father of capitalism himself talking about how, “The government of an exclusive company of merchants is, perhaps, the worst of all governments for any country whatever.” Which is exactly what we’ve had for far too long. It’s like some people just choose not to learn from our mistakes.

Minccino – Shiny

During the weekend in pokemon go, there was a time window set in game for a new pokemon to appear but could only be caught by completing field tacks. This was all happening an hour before the super bowl started and went on for 3 hours from there. Pretty sure you have some idea what I was more focused on during that time.

And the best part, my first catch was a shiny.

CNY ’20 – Lion Dance – Clip 1

I was in Chinatown this weekend for Chinese New Year. Nice little tradition of mine that i’ve been doing for some time in the middle of the last decade. And eventually I find what I believe is the best spot along the route because I get to see the Lion Dances. I think it’s the most interesting part of the parade.

Anorith – 100

It’s not often I check out how powerful the lastest pokemon I’ve caught are, but when I do sometimes I get surprised with one that is at the highest possible stats. Now to evolve it too Armaldo and put it to the highest combat power number it can possible have.

Perched

An old photo of this scrub jay that I took with a, rather large lens attached. I’m hoping eventually I’ll get another lens like this, or with more zoom so I can get shots like this again. But I would also like to see more interesting wild life around too.
