Hydrox, America's Original Crème Filled Chocolate Sandwich Cookie!

For a while now, I've been wanting to try the original chocolate sandwich cookie. The predecessor to the now more famous and knockoff Oreo. After placing an order for a master pack of 6, it took about three months for them to arrive.  

This is me clumsily unboxing the contents with one hand in order to capture the video to show you the package and the pack.

Hamburger, Noodles, Pancakes, and Stew, Oh My! ~ 25 28 29 August and 12 September 2010

Hamburger, Noodles, Pancakes, and Stew, Oh My!

=========================

From August 25 - September 12, 2010

=========================

For this photo compilation I decided to include photos from four dates because they all relate to food and were the next in line. 

Hamburger! ~ 25 August 2010

The first two photos are of a hamburger that #Armandzraven ate. It was a pretty sizeable hamburger which is why I took a photo from it. I can't remember where it's from and didn't take a photo of the packaging, so that will remain a mystery.  

China Magic Noodle House! ~ 28 August 2010

The following nine photos are from what I believe was the first time I went to China Magic Noodle House in Chandler, Arizona, US with Armandzraven. They had a window where you could see them make the fresh noodles. My favorite noodles in peanut sauce were made by them. They unfortunately closed down the restaurant in 2022. I've not found another restaurant that makes noodles in peanut sauce that were as delicious as theirs.

Pancakes! 29 August 2010

The next two photos were of me making pancakes for breakfast. 

Chicken and Turkey Stew! ~ 12 September 2010

The final seven photos are of a stew made by Armandzraven that had chicken and turkey.

El Gran Sabor de un buen Café! ~ 15 August 2010

El Gran Sabor de un buen Café!

=========================

From August 15, 2010

=========================

These are photos that I took of a delicious Mexican coffee with chocolate, anis, piloncillo, & canela that Tia Magda sent to me back in 2010.

As you can see by the close up photos I took of the actual coffee, it's nothing but pure real ingredients that deliver an exceptional taste.

Empty Tempe Town Lake ~ 07 August 2010

Empty Tempe Town Lake

=========================

From August 7, 2010

=========================

These are photos that I took at night on the 7th of August in 2010 of the Tempe Town Lake when it was empty. 

In July 20th of 2010, one of the dams at the Tempe Town lake burst causing it to drain 977 million gallons of its water and killing thousands of fish. 

Because the photos were taken at night and while we were walking, they are a bit dark and blurry. As you may know, I leave the videos and photos that I upload mostly untouched, so that you can see them in their original state. This instance is no different, except that I decided to make an edited version of them to see a better glimpse. You'll see each original followed by the slightly color adjusted one to help better see the difference.

In addition, I've included at the end a couple of photos from local news source AZCentral, who has and image article titled, "Tempe Town Lake dam burst in 2010" by AZCentral-Unknown dated of July 19, 2016 and updated March 4, 2020. I've included the info and description of each of those as they have it on the article and please note/disclaimer, they are used for informational and educational purposes only.

Was wearing my Batman t-shirt.

=========================

From June 12, 2010

=========================

As mentioned on some past posts, I've been taking random photos of a plethora of themes from clothes, food, restaurants, products, nature, events, etc. before it was commonplace to do so and post on the various social platforms.  

Here you have two photos of a Batman t-shirt I wore back on June 12th of 2010.

Outside Casino Rainbow ~ 12 June 2010

 

Outside Casino Rainbow

=========================

From June 12, 2010

=========================

I had this folder named, "outside" with three photos that made me ponder why I took them. First, I noticed that they were taken from inside my vehicle and of a parking lot. Then I realized, it is a parking lot at one of the Arizona casinos. My memory makes me think it is Lone Butte Casino, which is one of the various casinos of the Gila River Resorts & Casinos. Lastly, I saw the resemblance of a rainbow.

So there it its! I took these photos of the rainbow shining through the sky while I was parked at the parking lot of a casino in Arizona. Hence the title I decided on for this short video. 

I decided to create an edited version of each photo by adjusting the brightness, contrast, and saturation to better see the rainbow and including them on this video so you can better see what I saw. 

Do you take photos of rainbows, nature, etc.?

What I Wore. ~ 07 June 2010

What I Wore.

=========================

From June 07, 2010

=========================

These are three photos I had on a folder dated the 7th of June of 2010 with the title, 'What I wore.' 

Instead of the original file name given by the camera used to take the photos, these were each saved with the brand name of each shirt. The first one is from Eighty Eight USA. The second and third also included the addition of whether it was a long or short sleeve, George Long Sleeve and Ten West Short Sleeve. As you can tell by the names, these are low budget brands. 

Now why I saved these images specifically like this on this day is likely because I decided to get rid of them. Because I have difficulty eliminating, getting rid of stuff, one way I have found to help is taking a photo. 

Although this is from 2010, I wrote a bit more about this in 2019, read more about that → Eliminate the Clutter! https://elkirbster.blogspot.com/2019/11/eliminate-clutter.html

The pattern you see on these shirts is one I like quite a bit.

Cultural Celebration! ~ 27 May 2010

 

Cultural Celebration! ~ 27 May 2010
=========================
From May 27, 2010
=========================

These images and photos are from the Cultural Celebration that the Target Tempe Diversity & Inclusion Council coordinated. As mentioned on some of my past D&I posts, I was part of the Diversity Council from April 2006 - March of 2020. The council was a local collaborative effort to bridge the gap of the employee resource groups from the main HQ in Minneapolis, Minnesota and satellite HQ in Tempe, Arizona. We created mirror and unique events for the team at the Tempe HQ.   

In 2010, we organized a cultural celebration event that would feature each of the main councils that we had at the time and also invited the Volunteer Council to participate. Along with information at each booth/table, we created a slideshow. In order to increase participation and interaction, we also came up with questions that could be answered by visiting each of the booths. That questionnaire could then be dropped into a box for a drawing with various D&I themed prizes. 

For this compilation I've included photos taken by Robin, some of the informational pieces created for the GLBT table, which was the one I worked on, more specifically the brochure that we handed out, and photos that I myself took. The photos are both from the day before the event, setup day, and the day of the event.

Veilfire Warlocks of the Dragon Moon | 371 Image Compilation

=========================

When we created the short videos of Veilfire Warlocks of the Dragon Moon, we had 371 images to work with and wanted to ensure each image had its moment as best possible. We decided to break them down to feature 7 images per short video post. This also made it so we could post the short videos on other social sites we have presence. 

For this compilation we chose to leave the original transitions, but added a random bars transition in between each original uploaded set. We've also removed the fade ins/outs we used for the audio of them original short videos.

Cinco de Mayo! ~ 2010

=========================

From May 05, 2010

=========================

In celebration of Cinco de Mayo where I worked at the time, we sent out an email that included info of various upcoming local events and email trivia for a chance to win a goodie basket. That's right, before slack and the like, when we wanted to do a trivia it was via email. 

Cinco de Mayo landed on a Wednesday that year, with most local events taking place the weekend prior,  therefore, we sent an email before the weekend with a list of local events. Then, on Cinco de Mayo, we held an email trivia where participants that got all the correct answers were entered into a drawing for a Cinco de Mayo goodie basket.

Maricopa County Fair! ~ 17 April 2010

=========================

From April 17, 2010

=========================

These are photos taken in 2010 on the night we went to the Maricopa County Fair. You might recall the last time we went to the fair, at least the last instance where I have photo/video evidence, was in 2007.

Unlike in 2007, this time I did take a few more photos. As you can tell by the photos that I took, the bright lights against the dark night, particularly those of the various Ferris wheels, are what caught most of my attention.

The Life of My Plants! ~ 06 April 2010

The Life of My Plants! ~ 06 April 2010 

=========================

From April 06, 2010

=========================

Although most photos and videos that I typically take that have or feature flora are from places I'm traveling to or through, in 2009 I did take quite a bit of photos of my own plants. On this day in 2010, it appears that I realized that I hadn't taken any photos of my plants since September 2009. 

The Life of My Plants! - 19 September 2009 → https://youtu.be/SmpHdFF_azE

As I write this in 2025, I’ve realized that because my focus shifts periodically between the things I enjoy—as you may have read in my description on YouTube, the themes of my photos and videos can change dramatically from year to year. Yet, there’s an glimmering essence that ties it all together. 

On this video you see the sprouts of various seeds I planted. If memory serves me right, there were basil, sunflower, marigold, and maybe eggplant, tomato, and watermelon.

From April 4, 2010

This is a photo of an Easter gummy candy that was shaped like bunny teeth. I thought it was a hoot, therefore I took a photo of it. 

Do you take photos of random things that you find interesting, funny, etc.? 

Also, as you can tell, I occasionally just have fun playing with transitions and what not.

It's interesting to me that many times we take photos of places we travel, visit, etc., however rarely take photos of the areas we live, frequent, and spent most of our time in. As I've gotten older, I've learned to appreciate the places I spent my time in much more.

My Mother

• When I was six, my parents divorced. My Mom had three kids to raise and no child support coming in. Rather than give up and let our house go, she took on a 2nd job and scrimped wherever possible to keep us fed, clothed, and in a warm home. I know she sacrificed a lot throughout the years, but somehow she did it. Her dedication and discipline to me is remarkable.
