Yeah...I've been MIA for a minute since I was having some issues with the publishing of my site and this pandemic has been getting to me; nothing tragic  or serious but my frame of mind has not been right with the way alot of countries (including my own) have handled it. So for those of you who still check my site I'll be updating and posting within the next seven days.. I'll also update the about me since I've been posting photos on instagram.

Thank you to those have still checked and for those of you new here I welcome you.

May you all have an amazing year
May you finances be under your control
You debt decrease and your saving increase
May you spend more time with your loved ones (the ones who truly care)
May your health improve (or stay steady if you are healthy)
May most of your dreams come true (seeing the world is a great one....wishing people would chock on their own saliva is not).
May the lessons 2020 has for you be effective (so you don't need them again in life)
May the hard times be shorter than the good times.
May 2020 be all these things for you and me.
​Cheers.

So this tv series is one of the best of Marvel's tv series since it is so far removed from the MCU (It takes place in New Orleans) and the character progression (as well as regression is believable). The only major connection is having a cop from NYC being present but the actors portrayed their roles exceptionally well.

Lets talk about the story a little bit. Eight years ago Tyrone (Aubrey Joseph) and Tandy (Olivia Holt) lost important family members, almost drowned and gained their abilities (come on, its Marvel, this is what they do). But when we see them as teenagers Tandy isn't the sweet daddy's girl we met earlier but has become a terror to society (especially dumb rich boys) and Tyrone is working extra hard to deal with his anger over the loss of his brother while trying to be the best son his parents could have asked for). When these two meet again their powers clash  (Tandy produces a white light) while Tyrone produces darkness (you could say this is racist but just stick with it, oh, I didn't mention Tyrone is a black male while Tandy is a white female? Well this matters but then it doesn't...stay with me).

As things progress Tandy realises when she touches people she can see their hopes (later she realises she can also steal hope) and Tyrone realises he can see peoples fears (later he can becomes able to make them relive their fears) but together then can explore a person's subconscious. Her secondary power is to produce daggers and his is to teleport through darkness but only seeming to control it when his head is covered (yup, clock & dagger...not creative but interesting at the least). I call their signature abilities secondary since alot of the show explores how they can affect people by exploring their fears and hopes. It also focuses on how they are two sides of the same coin (as they can occasionally intrude on another's mind).

They both have unresolved issues concerning the death of their loved ones so the major push is to seek resolution while  exploring their new abilities. But there is a subplot where New Orleans has been always saved from disaster by teams of two (a divine pairing as its called) and they are suspected to be the ones to change the City's fate. I won't get into full detail but it concerns Dagger's drama and the greed of an oil company whose CEO wants to gain power to compete with the Starks and the Rands (yup, nod to New York's Avengers and Defenders). That   CEO also had . wonderful twist on the old Spiderman saying that suited his whole motive and it was  "With great power comes even more power" (yeah, I laughed at this one).

Cloak & Dagger made me laugh, cry and root for these two to succeed. I wish Marvel would continue this (and some of its other TV series...and not lock them behind Disney+... which is something I cannot access outside of the US, unlike Netflix). Give the series a chance...these characters will grow on you.

So here are some photos of Mount Fuji. It was a long day but enjoyable (breathtaking really...oh and cold...very cold at the 4th Station at Mount Fuji).

Small snippet of the Sakura I was fortunate enough to see while in Japan this year. I wish I had spent time searching for others as they varied in color as well as beauty.​

So Japan was amazing! Just sharing a snippet of the food I experienced while I was there...I ate ALOT more and wish I had bought more of the dango....even though I bought alot of dango... Gonna put a good effort into learning how to make onigiri as well.

I can honestly say that this weather mimics my mood. Chilly, rough around the edges and sullen. Tired of negativity and I’ve probably let it build up until its gotten to me or maybe I’m touchy since I know I’ll be older in a week and I’m evaluating where I am in life. Either way you guys get a dark but pretty picture. Enjoy.

Hey everyone!


Yup, I’m back after being gone for so long. And for the past few months (hell, even right now) I’ve been in my head about everything going on with me and my life. You can say I’m at one of the many intersections of life wondering about which detour to take because going straight ahead isn’t gonna work for me and where I want to end up (not that its a bad destination but its not where I want to go).


This has been a fun journey and I’ve made some great pit stops along the way. Did some sight seeing, took some amazing photos and built some amazing memories. That being said I have crossed into some seedy neighborhoods and made a few less than savory stops...but hey, its been a memorable adventure.


My vehicle (my sister says I’m pretentious for using this word but I just like it) has needed to refuel, have its oil changed and needed a few cosmetic repairs but its been getting me where I need to go. I’ve lost luggage along the way and picked up a few hitchhikers. But I might need to get a new vehicle for the journey I’m looking to take... or at least getting some new gear and additions for what I’m working with.


Point is that after taking some time to reflect and mull things over in my head I’m back. So jump in my back seat and enjoy the ride. :-P
