Running of the Clowns ’16 – Photo

It was a bust. We had two clowns and no runners show up. Part of me believes the whole creepy clown thing going on right now has something to do with it, and someone even called 911 to probably say “there are a couple of clowns here, we don’t know what to do.” The cops were cool we let them know what was going on, and totally understood it was something just fun and goofy. I know there were a couple of other people that messaged us saying they are running late, then after letting them know about the cops going asked if it was worth going over.

Are people getting tried of these kind of silly events? Black Tie Beach was a dud, and I noticed the Zombie Walk this year didn’t have as much people as last year. Still a lot of zombies, but definitely was fewer people. Need to figure something out to bring new life in.

Comikaze ’16

Or as it goes by with the new name, Stan Lee’s Los Angeles Comic Con. That name is almost a mouth full. I prefer to call it comikaze still, because when I think Comic Con, I like to think of it in San Diego, yet so many other places have their own Comic Con, like New York, Salt Lake City, and Long Beach. It just made it feel different, but you know what, It will still be the same con that I’ve been to for the past few years, and still enjoyed. I look forward to this coming week as it comes to an end.

Trump the Elitist

Quite amazing how after so much disturbing info come out about the guy. Bragging about sexual assault, cheating people out of paying them, sending jobs over seas, fraud, and a number of other things. I never liked Trump, something about him always rubbed me the wrong way. Now I’m sure some people would say that I’m jealous of him, but what of? Yeah, I wish my life was going better but I do enjoy going out and having my adventures, meeting with new people, and working on fun little projects. Sometimes I get kind of a big one and that excites me.

Do I wish I was as rich as him? I would likely donate most of that money. I don’t know what to do with it. Is it because of his wife? I don’t care about getting married, and I don’t think she is someone I would go after anyways if I met her. I’m sure there are other questions, but that’s what I can think of for now.

One thing I’ve often heard from people with a more conservative mindset is the distain for those how they consider among the elite. After reading this article on cracked I have gained more of an understanding of how many of these people feel. I have talked to some small town folk before, I do let them know where I’m from and let them know of the whackiness that ensures, that I hope some day they could have a chance to experience some elements of locally. I guess there is still so much more to learn then I expected. But here is the question I have about those who hate on those that they find the elite, why so love for one that is exactly that?

First Look at Nintendo Switch

I’m sure everyone has seen this and said, “that’s really cool.” I know I did. What got me what the supposed game storage media. It looks like it’s using some kind of small card, which I figure was going to happen considering how large discs look these days. Something I’ve talked to some people about before is how I believe there should be a return of some cartridge based medium that has a mass of extra space. The reason is because sometimes games need to be patched for bugs that get found after release, or if they want to add some extra content. Like what they do in Smash bros for the WiiU and 3DS, but instead you can download new characters and stages and it will load on to the extra space on the card instead of the hard drive in the system. And for the internal hard drive, it can be used for downloadable games.

But, that’s just what i’m hoping for.

Skate Rex

While on my way to the Zombie Walk sunday, I saw this guy at the orange line station with this giant ballon animal on his back. He told me it was suppose to be a T.Rex on a skateboard but the tail came off. I was still impressed because I don’t thing i’ve seen a balloon animal so big. He also asked me what was the best way for him to get Venice, which I let him know to reach the expo line to santa monica, and possibly walk the rest of the way.

As the Zombie Walk was coming to an end I found him on Hollywood. He figured it was a better place for him to be as of the moment anyways.

I can Deal with That

Honestly, I felt more connected with Sanders. Maybe it was because how I felt a bit uncomfortable with Hillary and her connections to major financial institutions. But thinking about it as time went on, I do believe she is the best person for the job. Plus, I like how sanders really started something with so many people, and I believe he’s been an influence on her. I also believe he’s going to have a very important role to play once again after the election.

I also have some predictions of what could happen after the election.
On a Hillary win: She will make efforts to work with others. It’s known she has many times in the past, even with those with different political views. Help fight for equal rights for everyone, and make improvements in programs already in place. But, there is also the possibly in an increase in militia groups, being formed out of paranoia of supposed rights being taken away. I’m basing this claim off chatter that I’ve come across and that after Obama came into office there was also a jump in new hate groups and memberships of those already existing because of baseless claims that within an 8 year time period, never happened.

On a Trump win: The guy has been shown to be a pathological liar. I don’t think he is going to keep most of the promises he’s made, that wall isn’t happening. There will be an increase in harassment and hate crimes against minorities, which is what happened after the Brexit was voted in. Protests and possible riots from anti-trump demonstrators who believe he will ruin things. I do remember there were protests and fights breaking out on W. Bush’s inauguration back in 2001, which leads me to believe it can happen again here. And because of my doubts that Trump will do anything, it would case outrage from those who supported him causing them to lash out in possibly the wrong places.

All we can do is just wait and watch, but I really hope everything goes right.

Hollywood ZombieWalk ’16 – Photos

Zombie walk photos are now up. I got there 15 minutes later then I wanted at least, but at that time everyone was still gathering. One person there, she is moving out of state and was her last lurch, so she asked if we can cover her car in blood and record it before everyone went underground. We then got off the red line in hollywood, and since the last time we’ve been there, the intersection at highland is now diagonal, so walking across that street got way more fun. As always, we walked to vine, and back where we hung out in an open area just outside Madame Tussauds.

I wound say for this year there wasn’t as many people. Not sure why, but since had plenty. I ran into some people that were during cicLAvia earlier that day. One person I talked to said she was hoping to find out because they didn’t think they would have time to join in the walk. All good, at least her and her friends had a chance to check it out.

Fun seeing the dead rise, once more.

Planet Earth II

I remember watching the first one all those years ago, and it was great. Something about these kind of specials that I enjoy, and so much of the footage just seems unreal.
