How to find my CURRENT blog post...

No, Y2K didn't happen late, nor is there a major computer virus on the loose. The date is correct. It's a glitch i found, that i am using for a fictional blog i have created, called "The End - 2020" . (So instead of the end of the world happening in 2012 like the movie, or a pre-Trib scenario like the Left Behind novel series, it's a different twist." )

Our Encounter with Chloe Bennet

 

 *** Note -- we will be editing this over time, to include the video from C2E2,and other items as we are able. 

 

This should have been written 4 years ago, even though it has been contemplated often since the first thought of it. .

But on the day (and maybe even the hour) that Agents of SHIELD is ending its run on ABC, I wanted to share with the world our family’s experience with one of its stars, Chloe Bennet. Chloe portrays Daisy Johnson, who was first introduced as “Skye” and then, after changing from computer hacker to Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division)., and transforming into the superpowered Inhuman Quake.

 

2016 was my oldest daughter’s first experience at C2E2, the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo. 

 

My daughter is shy, and so it took her a while to gather her courage to get in line to ask a question. However, we finally made our way to the back of the line. But because there was such a large crowd, the organizers told people on our end of the line that we had to sit down. My daughter was so disappointed. But apparently Chloe was observing the crowd, and had my daughter and another young girl come back up and ask their question.

 

Because this was her first experience with a celebrity, and with the large crowd watching, was nervous. But Chloe was able to help coach my daughter in completing the question. She then gave a fun answer.

 

At the end, she also invited many of us to come up on stage to get a selfie. I just gotten a new phone, and didn’t know how to do selfies at the time. so I messed up our visual memory of the event. But even if I were as tech savvy as Daisy Johnson, I still couldn’t have captured the full memories and feelings of that day.

 

What Chloe didn’t know when she had Mia come back was that this was actually the day before my daughter’s 11^th birthday. so just getting that chance totally made her birthday, and Chloe honored her by having the entire auditorium wish her happy birthday, which just amplified that.

There were actually a couple of other things that she didn’t find out that day (but hopefully now). My daughter is ¼ Dutch &  ¼ Indonesian (from me) and ½ black with a sprinkle of Native American (from my wife). So her speaking about her accomplishments as someone who is half-Chinese really excited & inspired all of our family.

The other thing that Chloe didn’t know was Mia’s “secret origin” story.  She was born at 23 ½ weeks, 4 months early, weighing in at 15 ½ ounces. She survived an ambulance trip from the Weiss Hospital on the North Side of Chicago, down Lakeshore drive BEFORE it was reconstructed, and all the way to Rush Hospital on the near West Side of Chicago.

 

After 4 months in the NUCU , and 3 years of different types of therapies , Mia began pre-school, then elementary school, where she was #4 in her class. And now she has finished her first year of high school, achieving the number 1 spot.  

 

So we just wanted to share with Chloe Bennet just what she has meant to our family, especially that day at C2E2.

 

We are sad that Agents of SHIELD is ending, but Chloe Bennet, we wish you the best in your future and we look forward to seeing what is next.

January 2020 art contest submission for TrekBBS

TrekBBS is a message board where Star Trek fans all over the world and share ideas, art, and debate over details...not just on Star Trek, but science fiction in general as well as other topics such as sports and politics.

One "board" they have is for Fan ART, and they run monthly contests, which I have previously entered.

In January , the previous winner accepted my proposal of "Crisis on Infinite Enterprises", a play on the DC Comics special series, Crisis on Infinite Earths, which was recently adapted by what I call DC TV, or others, the Arrowverse.

My entry is "Chris's on Infinite Enterprises".... where my dream casting/storyline for a Star Trek (reboot) number 4, which seems like it won't be made. A real idea which was floated around would be to have George Kirk, father of Captain James T Kirk, and featured at the beginning of the 2009reboot movie, travel through time, and meet his son. Well, I thought it'd be awesome to bring in 2 other Chris's, who have worked with Hemsworth on the Marvel movies (while Pine has done DC movies -- so far).   So in addition to George (who would be from the "original" timeline), I could imagine Chris Pratt as David Marcus Kirk (or just David Marcus, form Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan)… and then have Chris Evans as Leonard Kirk (named after Dr. McCoy) as a great grandson of James T Kirk in a future variation.

This was a hastily made design (but thought over , for many weeks)… I would LOVE if these 4 Chris's would do a bootleg fan film trailer over it, and drive the Internet crazy.

So what do YOU think?
