My inner child is shouting for joy...I just have dust in my eyes

I'm Batman...

I must say I have been a fan of comic heroes for as long as I can remember. The strength, power, courage and ability to make the hard decision.

Today Disney released a high-res image of the latest iteration of Spiderman for the greater MCU (Marvel Comic Universe). This is the third franchise to push this character in a different direction. 

All variants were a lot of fun and have pushed the limits of movie magic to promote Spidey powers. The last 17 years have given us 3 different spider men, 5 feature films spawning cartoon after cartoon which continues to captivate child audiences.

This latest Hollywood offering gives us yet another take of the suit and pays sweet homage to a mask with eyes that add an element of emotion to a previously emotion-less face.

If you can remember the follies of the Power Rangers and the cheesy acting down to communicate feelings by body language without the use of facial expressions. I marvel at the years the Power Rangers have been able to keep young audiences in rapture.

This is a new push within the superhero movie genre to reach a level of pure material integrity within live-action features. The success of Deadpool is a prime example of the pupil-less eyes and expressive eyebrows and facial acting.

Well done, Hollywood or should I say Marvel - and by Marvel, I mean Disney. 

A great need for a political candidate who can and will UNITE

A political rant from an issue-focused voter with leanings toward the GOP. This may be a bit negative however I want to be clear on my position.

I would rather vote for Hilary before I vote for Trump. #republican #GOP #nottrump #GodBlessAmerica (honestly - I would most likely vote independent)

I heard one comment during this primary process - a lady stated that she sincerely felt that Trump had the chops to compete against Hilary during the general. Sometimes I feel like some people may be basing their voting choice simply on name recognition rather than focusing on political record or even candidate principles/values.

This week has been one of great interest politically. MN had its caucuses. I was unable to attend as I was away on business. The President of our great nation is one that is in office to unite and direct for sustainable growth and unity.

I feel completely bombarded with a political environment with messages of malice and senseless bickering. The largest source of this in my mind is connected with and coming from Donald Trump. This man ascended to fame through cut-throat (some say ruthless) business deals and by generating artificial drama to elicit a shock 'n awe response within the public's eye.

Yes, Trump has been successful (monetarily) but at what cost? Look at his family, look at the relationships he maintains, look at his record, look at his commitment to leave something better than when he found it. I fear if this man does win the GOP nomination or even the general election - it will cause great harm to a positive and sustainable future for our country. I can't imagine the damage that will be done not to mention the potential harm to our country's foreign policy.

This IS NOT the man I want to follow nor do I want him to represent this great country. He does not have the principles or the demonstrated ethics of one to be the leader of the free world.

My vote will go to a candidate who has a demonstrated ability to handle tough situations without losing sights of honesty, integrity, family values, truth, and a commitment for doing the right things for the right reasons regardless of the consequences. This includes making the hard decisions to ensure long-term success and improvement of our country, infrastructure, etc.

This elections year I commit to vote #sintrump. For those that don't habla espanol - the translation of "sin" is "without."
