Pokemon

  Ah yes! One of the biggest parts of my childhood. The little collectible creatures that can be used to help you become the greatest trainer of all time. POKEMON!

Holy crap does this ever bring back memories! I remember like it was yesterday when myself along with my twin brother Chad and some of our friends watching the anime series. When we weren't watching the anime, we were playing the pokemon card game. Then when we weren't playing the card game, we were playing the video games! And every single one of them was such a joy to play.

One of the things I had found interesting when I was doing some research for my blog was the fact that Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri was inspired by his childhood hobby of collecting insects. But when he lost those opportunities due to the habitats being paved over, he decided to use this opportunity to create a video game to have kids enjoy collecting things like he did during his younger days.

I say Tajiri did an amazing job of that success as Pokemon launched in 1996 and since then, it has become one of the most successful franchises of all time!

I remember watching Ash in the original series and never stopped being a fan of Pokemon ever since. Being a little kid I played a lot of Pokemon blue version on my gameboy along with many other kids at school. 

I played a lot of other different pokemon games as like Pokemon stadium, pokemon silver, pokemon colosseum, etc.

I myself prefer to use water type pokemon as my main choice in the beginning of each pokeman game. In my humble opinion, Squirtle is simply the best! A simple fact that my twin brother Chad and his Charmander can't seem to understand lol 😂

But all kidding aside, I was six years old when Pokemon first started. I am now 33 years old and to see how far Pokemon has come and is still bringing joy to a lot people makes me very proud to see it. I hope and pray that it will continue to bring joy and happiness to people like it did for me when I was younger for many more years to come.

Congrats to Tajiri and the Pokemon crew!

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

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

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
