Welcome to the Joshua Yoder Blog

 Hello everyone,


    My name is Joshua Yoder. I am from Mattawana, Pa. One of things I enjoy in my life, is writing. I decided to create this blog to not only help me to continue writing. But also hope to meet new people and hopefully that you guys will enjoy some of the things that I will blog about.

    I must confess, there are so many things that I do enjoy that I plan to write about. But I promise that I will do my best to keep them in their own categories.  

    One of these categories is sports. Which is what I have been doing for Hometown Sports which is a magazine/website based in Bellefonte, Pa. I have covered high school and college sports. I enjoy all kinds of sports, including both Pro and College. Some of the stories I will be writing about on my blog will be more feature style stories like historical events and kind of give my own personal opinion on these things.

  Another one to expect to see is music. Music has been such a major factor in my life. And at times I dare say it has saved my life on more than one occasion. I enjoy all kinds of music, but my go to choice is rock and metal. Ever since my father introduced me to amazing bands like ACDC, Metallica, Def Leppard and Black Sabbath, I’ve been enjoying it ever since. As I grew up I got to listen to some more incredible bands like Slipknot, Godsmack, Stryper, Demon Hunter, War of Ages and so on.

My third topic that you will see from time to time is gaming/anime. As time moves along, you guys will probably figure out that I am a major dork lol. In my opinion anime is a very underrated form of literature. Animes such as Dragonball Z, Mobile Suit Gundam and Hellsing among many others tell amazing stories. Video games, table top games, board games to me is special because of the creativity, imagination, but more importantly they bring people together and create something special out of it.

My final one is I plan to write some short stories and poems for my blog. One of my goals in life is to be able to publish a book someday. I enjoy a lot of different styles of genres and writers like Edgar Allan Poe to like Magic School Bus and Animorphs when I was kid. My stories generally a mixture between supernatural, horror and even romance. And also I would love to write about personal experience that I hope people will enjoy but also to relate with others as well because we are all just trying to get through this life together.

With all that being said. I really do hope that you guys enjoy my blog. But more importantly, I hope and pray that you guys are all out there enjoying life. Be safe and God bless.

Lewistown Area High School Class of 2009

 I can't believe it has been 15 years since me and Chad have graduated from Lewistown Area High School back in 2009. High school was a very interesting time for not just myself, but for many of us who had attended, mainly because usually times at high school is the time of getting to know ones self and discover who they are and what there place is in this world. Being a teenage to becoming a young adult can be very challenging to a lot of people during this time in life. Especially with dealing with all sorts of different emotions that we didn't understand before. Sadly, there are also a lot of young people who struggled to figure things out during their time in high school and I was certainly one of those people.  I mention this because recently I found and looked back through my yearbook when I graduated from Lewistown and it was pretty cool to see some old faces especially now that I am older and learned so much about myself. The only problem about this is I wish I knew what

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob
