The Boondocks Saints

  One of my favorite movies I truly enjoyed watching was the Boondocks Saints which was released all the back in 1999.

The story is about two Irish American twin brothers Connor and Murphy MacManus who seek to rid the evil from the city of Boston. Along the way they are being pursued by FBI agent Paul Smecker.

One of the reasons I enjoyed this movie was that it was about twin brothers because I myself have a twin brother so that was a plus lol.

Another reason was that the fact it was inspired by a real life experience from writer and director Troy Duffy while he was living in LA. 

I can really relate to that because where I'm from I see a lot of evil. Drugs, Junkies, people showing no respect one another over stuff that is greatly exaggerated or just a flat out lie. Criminals who seem to be able to do whatever they want and get away with it. I do admit that I often ask God why is there so much torment in this world? Why can't people just love and understand one another? 

Know I understand that this is a movie and probably not the best why to handle things. But basically this movie help me with a lot of frustrations.

I loved watching how ridiculous some of the situations that the MacManus twins get caught up in as they try to rid Boston of the criminal underworld. They remind me of me and my twin, they always seem to bicker with one another.

I love the Rocco character and William Defoe as agent Smecker was so funny and I could not stop laughing at Doc McGinty who has tourettes and non-stop swearing. It was so over the top it was tremendous lol.

For anyone who has not seen this movie, I highly recommend it though it is not for all ages. And if you have watched this movie before, I also suggest you watch again because it is just as funny the 100th time as it was the first time watching it.

Enjoy the movie guys and gals, and remember. Veritas and Aequitas.

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
