Christmas Holidays Experiences


Hey, everyone!

Over the Christmas Holidays, I did not really do much of anything except spend time with my family. But on Christmas eve I went to a church service that to an extent was done by a Baptist church in mid-downtown Houston Texas. The church itself was nice as can be. Very much like an old church from the middle ages but a bit more modern. Going on to the service it was very nice but from my experience, it seemed as though they were acting more like a catholic church than baptist. Which to me, I felt like they were putting on the entire service as a show since they did have a good choir and orchestra. But there were times when the percussion section did drown out the rest of the group. While the choir could be heard without an issue.
 Later that week on the 26th of December 2015 I went to a festival called "Magical Winter Lights" at the Gulf Grey Hound Park in La Marque, Texas. With the cost of admission and parking, it was $25 in total.  For a one time visit event it's not too bad of a price jut to see the lantern sculptures but if you wanted to take part in the carnival aspect then that would be a different story with another $20 fee just for the unlimited ride armband.
During the event, there was these Chinese acrobatic show produced by the "Sichuan Zigong Acrobatic Troupe" that was oddly enough quite amazing and well put together. In the process of my visit to the event, I happened to actually record the entire 31-minute show and a bit of what I saw of the lantern sculptures. Now I do apologize for the shakiness as I was using my selfie stick to balance my action camera. I also realize that the video quality may be utter crap but I was working with the best I had on hand at the time. When watching the Acrobatic show part there was a brief moment where the stage lighting was very bright and distorted the video, hopefully, it's not too bad. In the process of editing this video, Youtube had a fit with copyright.

Now at this point, All I have to say is enjoy the show and Have an epic day.





 The song to the right of this section of was in the  Acrobatic show as it comes from a band in Japan  called "SMAP." Just a little tidbit I'd share with you for fans of Japanese culture.

Long Time No See

Hey everyone,

       I know I haven't posted much of anything in the past couple of weeks. Mostly because I never really have much of anything to say/discuss. As I am usually bored or working on school work. But Of course Christmas has come and gone, yet as of the past few days, "December 30th, 2016," the year is now coming to a close as we all prepare for what is yet to come.
With that being said I want to leave you with three things to consider within the coming year:

1) Dream Big, Go Follow your dreams but do consider the long term effects.
2) Stand Tall! Be true to you! Create your own life story as that is what is worth reading.
3) Do something epic to change the world!

Life Updates

OK so this post is going to be something of a two in one kind of blog post. As it will count for the post I missed doing yesterday. Other than that on with the post.

So yesterday in the afternoon I had an appointment the Burkhart center for autism research and development. Where I had a bit of a discussion about the programs they were offering to help me out in the development of my future. From the experience the two programs seemed to be of equal interest but due to it being that of a personal discussion, the information will not be given other than that of a link to their services. Later that afternoon I went to a very unique thrift store called Savers. Where I picked up a good deal on a used iMac G4 that was in pretty good shape other than a bit of cosmetic wear and tear. On the hardware side it is a fully working unit but the MAC OSX system does have a tendency to crash and the computer has to be restarted but it only happens when left in idle mode. CD-drive works but the motor that spins the disc might need to be replaced. But overall it is in pretty good shape. The other item I bought was a rare disney store item form the Jungle Book film, a shear kahn plush toy. Between the two items I do plan on selling them to make a decent profit to buy other things. The rest of the day I finished up my christmas shopping and ended the day with going to a Chinise buffet for dinner. Later that evening when testing the iMac my toshiba cavio hard drive died on me.

Incomplete story.


Below is a story I was working on but have since then not completed. But if those of you who do read my blog want to help continue developing this written work you are welcome to help it along.


Once upon a time in a world full of mystery, adventure, magic. In a time in which knight was revered as heroes and Kings and queens as good and respected rulers in the eyes of their Kingdoms. In a world in which humans do not exist but are seen as being a myth and Anthropomorphic animals rule the lands. A young lion by the name of Leo can be found playing about with his friends in the village square dreaming what it would be like as a knight defending what is considered as good. On a bright young morning he and a few of his friends are playing one of their usual games of hiding and seek, "haha found you Max" Leo said. "Aww, how come you always find me first?" stated max a small avian that is a bit shorter than Leonidas, another lion like Leo but with wings of an eagle. He was born with them from the beginning but noticed them when he was about 10 years of age. Also, Max does tend to have an enjoyment for the tasty things in life like fruits and nuts or anything sweet that he can get his hands on. "Well, you do tend to leave something of a trail with you eating all the time,a" sai,d Leo. True stated Max, "I do enjoy eating but even then I know I should probably stop since I have gotten in trouble for it." Oh said Leo, why is that? Max replies with "like that is important" in something of an annoyed tone of voice, "anyway shouldn't we be finding your brother Leonidas and what his name, Snow or Levi or whatever his name is." Leo replies, " it's Ronni actually and he's a wolf remember?" Yeah I remember know, said Max. Just as the two finish talking Leonidas comes flying in saying hey little bro in a fun energetic voice, then eventually lands on the ground, standing right next to me (Leo).

Just a boring day

Hello people, today there really is not much to discuss since my day was pretty much filled with boring old school work. Other than that there is not much to report about that anyone would find to be of an actual interest unless you have a bright idea worth mentioning.

South Plains Nativity Exhibit

(figure 1) Map of the event space.
Well hey, today for any typical Sunday of any month, my day like many others is usually uneventful. But today, on the other hand, it was it quite an experience as I visited an exhibit that was being held at Mormon church. Now before I go any further I will mention that I come from that of a Baptist church background  under the Christian faith so our ways of thinking are quite different but to avoid an argument I will avoid mentioning their ways of thinking. Before the event, my mother and I had a very good lunch at a restaurant called, "Souper Salad."
          Then from there we did a bit of shopping at CVS pharmacy on the way to picking up my sister who was doing a service dog training session with a client. After that, we made our way to the "South Plains Nativity Exhibit." Once we stepped inside we were happily greeted by a volunteer working at the event who gave us a map of the event facility. (See figure 1) The exhibit displayed various nativity sets collected by the local community.
       In each area, the nativities were arranged as to where they came from in terms of Artist's, Traditional, International and lastly a children's area. Each of which with its own unique collections, international being my unique favorite due to how creative a number of the pieces were. After going the main two exhibit halls I went to the Artists hall where a person whom I do not know the name of was working on a head bust of a person she was sculpting. I watched her for a moment then moved on eventually leaving the event to head on home. In my opinion, overall I felt like the exhibit was very well orchestrated and very much fulfilled it's greater purpose of representing the birth of Jesus Christ as he is the "Reason for the Season!"  Kudos to them for creating a very superb exhibit.

When watching the video really consider how much work it took to make each piece as a number of them are handmade.)

Welcome to the blog

Well hey, folks I now have myself a blog for my thoughts and ideas and whatnot. With it being new it will take some time to get everything worked out and adjusted to my liking. But I will be sharing an assortment of things but mainly be a place I can just be my "lion-self"  without the world being total Jerks that they have become. For you Newbies, you can call me "Leo Rajdhani Lion" or simply just plain "Leo"
