Nirvana

 One of the most influential bands of not just my life, but in music history in general is the world famous grunge band Nirvana.

Hard to believe that it has been 20 years since Nirvana ended. It is still sad knowing that Kurt is no longer with us. What this band was able to do in such a small time truly was incredible and am I so thankful for the internet because I can listen to them anytime I want.

I grow up around an older crowd and that was pretty much the reason how I was introduced to Nirvana along with several other musicians throughout the early 90s.

Overall, the band has over 75 million albums sold worldwide making it one of the best selling bands of all time.

Which is not surprising because Nirvana has amazing songs 😁. Smells Like Teen Spirit was certainly their biggest hit to the mainstream audience, but don't get me wrong, it is an amazing song. But for me personally, I really enjoyed the songs Come As You Are and Lithium. Of course Heart Shaped Box was incredible as well as songs like All Apologies, About A Girl, In Bloom, Polly, Breed, Something In The Way.

As mentioned earlier in the blog, I also really love the fact that I can listen to them perform on the MTV show called Unplugged. If you haven't watched it I highly suggest that you do so because was incredible to watch, in fact I say that it still is incredible.

Then finally in 2014 Nirvana was inducted into the Hall Of Fame and it was so cool to see it happen and heck, I can't believe it has been ten years since that happened already. Time really does fly does it not?

I still miss Kurt, his lyrics and the way he told amazing stories with his music have always been an inspiration to me as a writer and I would love to be able to inspire others the way he and Nirvana did. I am also so proud to see both Kris and Dave to be able to find continued success after the band was over.

 Rest In Peace Kurt 🙏🙏🙏

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

Is It Worth It To Keep Fighting?

 You know the thing I hate the most about dealing with depression and just mental health in general is the simple fact that I know that there are so many people in this world you is dealing with struggles in their lives. And I keep telling myself to stay humble and be grateful for everything I have in this world and that things can always be worse, but, I ultimately just end up hating myself. I wish I was stronger, I really do because I feel embarrassed about feeling this way. I hate it! I really, really hate dealing with this crap in my head! I mean, there are people dealing with cancer and other diseases, people who are struggling with addiction, you know we all got problems. So I do apologize I am honestly not trying to make this about me because I ain't anything special and most likely never will be. I'm just so frustrated about life and just trying to find meaning in anything really. My whole life I have tried my best to prove that I can do something with myself and overco
