Post number 40, COMIN' RIGHT AT-CHA.

Have you ever had one of those times where you are driven to buy something for purely nostalgic reasons?  The "Oh man I love and remember those things" type of experience? 

I had one of those the other day while on Amazon.  I bought some Japanese Pokemon cards.  I actually miss collecting them, in all honesty.  I loved all the Cards, Japanese and American.  So, I went ahead and ordered some packs off of Amazon.  It was fun and I enjoyed opening them again.  Its been almost 10 or more years since I had that rush of opening a pack of cards and seeing what you got. 

These were the three I got.  One gym leader, and Two Team Rocket packs.

I always loved the Team Rocket packs a lot.  Mostly because of the dark pokemon and the like.  Another Reason I liked the Japanese packs was for the Holographic each and every pack (which in a way is happening in the American packs now).  This brought back a lot of memories though.

The opened packs!

I was very excited to get the Dark Charizard (featured on the right) out of my Team Rocket pack.  I didn't have that card and it was cool to get him, plus he just looks like a badass on the artwork!  This has sort of refueled my desire to collect something once again.  I felt something had been missing and this just might be it.  Bring on the Cards!

Till next time Chaps!

Whats it like?

As I watched today's Superbowl and continued to watch as the Giants were presented with the Lombardy Trophy it got me thinking......

Whats it like to actually see your team win a SuperBowl?

 I have no idea what the feeling is like.  The Redskins have won 3 Superbowl championships and made 5 trips to the Superbowl.  They won the Superbowl in 82', 87', and 91'.  Of course my age for each Superbowl was - 82': -5, 87': 7 months old, 91': 4 years old give or take. 

So, as you can see, I've been alive during some of their winning, but I wasn't old enough for any of it to matter and don't remember anything from 1991.  All I've endured my whole football watching life is ridicule because of how bad the Redskins have been.  I've seen only 2 trips to the playoffs in 2005, and 2007.  I didn't start really paying attention to football until 2001, I believe.  So, all I've had is garbage awful teams year in, year out.  With everyone ragging on my team with annoying as F#%k nicknames.  All I've gotten for my loyalty is 2 playoff trips, 1-2 record in those 2 playoff trips, a favorite player dead (Sean Taylor #21), and lots of grief from people just proclaiming they suck. 

I honestly have no idea how I'd react if they won a Superbowl in my lifetime.  I really don't.  Those so much pent up feeling of losing and something will go bad as the norm it almost doesn't even seem possible. 

I honestly just want to be able to share a Superbowl win with my Dad during both of our lifetimes, Together.

I also wouldn't be surprised if I cried.

So, I've been screwing around with photoshop(sort of)....

I'm kind of teaching myself how to use a free photoshop knock off....I'm gonna post things I think look cool and my random experiments.  Heres one that makes me laugh way more than it should....
