Comic Con Day 2 Part 1

DAY 2 is proving to be true to form at Hall H. 6:30 and already in line three for disabled, but you will find no complaints from me, because believe it or not, I am one of the lucky ones. Outside is a growing number of 4500+ people waiting to get in to see panels like, Sony and Screen Gems with it's main feature of 'The Amazing Spiderman 2'. Believe it or not, that panel starts at 4:05pm, give or take a few minutes.

Before our webbed friend makes his appearance though, we have panels like Riddick, Kick Ass 2, Game of Thrones, say it with me, DRAGONS!!'...The World's End, with some of my favorites, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost and pal Edgar Wright, but my doozy for the day, a panel I missed last year, because it was so packed in Hall H...THE WALKING DEAD.  I am squeeing in my mind and doing the trademark 'Shell Happy Dance.' I'm hoping we get close. We WILL be close.

Anyway, this will be the same drill tomorrow, but I think We are going to leave even earlier, because tomorrow is my Epic day...that's right, tomorrow is GODZILLA. Warner Bros. never fails to impress and I am sure they will find a way to build upon their presentation last year.

That's it for now....stay tuned.

Sissy Jo....

Well, it goes without saying that the days leading up to Comic Con were anything but non-emotional.  Is that even a word?  Seriously, my mind lately. Sissy Jo, one of the three girls I call my soul sister, passed away on June 29th, her funeral was held two days before we left for Comic Con. Admittedly, this reminded me, as well, of mama being sick last year during Comic Con, so of course our 8th trip to the 'Con', was a little bluer than I think we had hoped, but we did manage to have a good time, because we know that is what Jo would have wanted.  As we all know you can't make the pain just disappear, or the sadness that comes with losing someone so important and special to your life.  As anyone could tell you, JoAnn was a force to be reckoned with, a little whirlwind of organization, love and smiles.  She loved many who were in her path and she taught us lessons of survival, never giving up and fighting the good fight. I me...

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

Day 8 of 30 days of gratitude.

Today I dedicate this blog to Sissy Jo.  Today would have been JoJobean's 47th birthday and she lived every moment the best that she could.  I am forever grateful that I spent her last night on earth with her.  It was like old times when we had a lot of Sissy sleep-over's, watching "ghosty" shows, chatting, being sisters.   That night she told me her dreams for me and what she was sure would be my reality for the future. What people didn't see was JoAnn's fight.  When it was posted on Facebook that she had passed away, so many of my own family and friend's commented that they didn't even know she was still sick.  In fact, she was on her way to do payroll when she collapsed, the afternoon she passed away.  She had set-up a makeshift office at home, because her dedication to the work and people she cared about, never stopped. JoAnn was re-diagnosed in December 2008.  She had been in remission for almost four years when breast cancer came ba...
