Love, Monsters and my First Impressions 


Don’t Judge a book by its cover. Not just a silly phrase, but truer words were never spoken. Pretty much something you work hard not to do all your life.



But with that you still have to admit first impressions matter. So when I first saw the trailer for Love in the Time of Monsters. I was not impressed. I thought to myself, great. Another stinker.



But I continued for two reasons one Kane Hodder was in it. (Jason Vorhees) to anyone who knows anything about that genre. And because stupid things can right their own posts pretty well. With out much thought on the part of the writer.





When the plot started to form I thought woohoo this movie wants to be silly. I was much more relaxed then. The plot summary is as follows; a couple runs a vacation resort in California based on Bigfoot. There are like 5 guys that dress up as Bigfoot and stalk the place. Love it!



The Bigfoot characters get exposed to an area of illegal dumping of toxic waste in a marsh on the property, and it makes them mindless flesh eaters. They attack all the visitors at the resort dressed in their Bigfoot costumes. 



If that isn’t an awesome plot, I don’t know what is. Eventually they figure out a way to stop them. They head out to take them out and who comes out to help? You guessed it. The real Bigfoot. He has had enough and he comes out to assist. And you’re yelling “go Bigfoot!”



This movie ended up being a pleasant surprise for me. I highly recommend it. I got my copy from the local library but I’m sure it’s widely available.



I’m glad I gave it a try. Didn’t give up from a lack luster trailer. It reinforced my goal of never judging a book by its cover. Don’t give up from one bad first impression. 



So people, let’s try to read past the first boring chapter in your book. Ignore the bad trailers and reviews and watch the movie. And lastly don’t give up on a person just because that first impression didn’t do it for you, because you never know what you may miss out on. And it might just be your best thing.

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal

And you DON'T Believe in Bigfoot?!

Image
So, you still don’t believe in Bigfoot?...Well that’s fine.  With all the crazy creatures floating around in this world ... Bigfoot is the no go. Our own existence on this planet is something that should cause us to say "hmmm". How are we here? Why do we look the way we do? Just what makes us tick? That is where belief comes in. Some put their existence all on heavenly cards...while others put it all on the scientific ones. So, who is right or wrong? If our own existence is still somewhat in question, why would other creatures seem so far fetched? Have you seen some of the unbelievable creatures that live on the land, in water, and in the sky? I will tell you this...I would (and do) believe in a Sasquatch before I would believe in some of these creatures that are actually already established as real. Let’s explore some, shall we... The Barreleye Fish. Not sure, but I think I can see it’s BRAIN!!!! The Goblin Shark..Really! This is real!

Warning ⚠️ Squatching May be Hazardous to Your Health 

Image
I have always enjoyed my time in the great outdoors, whether I am at a beach, the dog park or Squatching. You couldn’t coerce me back in the house. In the summer months I’m literally outdoors from dawn till dusk, but lately I’ve noticed that all these outdoor activities are starting to become hazardous to my health.              Chris Farley in Black Sheep I’m used to the constant Chris Farley type trips I do daily, sometimes, most times, it’s usually in a public forum. The grocery store while the floor was wet, Maggie’s doggy day care in front of the owner and when I was teaching a million times tripping over the kids in front of everyone and on film too! I was used to it. I never bothered to  jump up to see if anyone was looking, because I knew they were. Sure it’s funny now, or even then, but this last year I’m doing the same maneuvers but I’m actually starting to feel these falls. Things are starting to get real here. After talking to some friends and colleagues who are also out
