The Undertaker

 One of my personal favorite pro wrestlers and I dare say, one of the greatest period, is The Undertaker. It is crazy to think that it has been nearly 35 year since the debut of this awesome character. 

Fact fun, Undertaker had be wrestling even longer overall outside the WWE because you see, back in the old days of wrestling there were several different wrestling companies. And of course, we all got to start somewhere and Undertaker started off wrestling in his home state of Texas wrestling for the World Class Championship Wrestling in the late 80s and the rest as they say was history.

Another fun fact was that the Undertaker made his WWE debut back in 1990, which is also the same year me and my twin brother Chad were born. So I always thought that was really cool.

Fast forward years later, the first time that I got to see the Undertaker was during the time he was leader of the Ministry of Darkness trying to marry Stephanie McMahon. Which as a little kid, I was scared stiff and yet, it was awesome at the same time.

Just the sight of him was incredible. I mean the guy was wearing a black rope while standing nearly seven feet tall and weighted over 300 pounds, yeah you can't get anymore frightening than that!

Heck! I remember watching Taker literally jump over the top rope like he was a cruiserweight and land on a guy to the outside and it completely blew my mind. I always did enjoy watching him do the move old school which is a move where he would take a guy by the arm and walk onto the top rope and move along the rope before dropping a massive club to the head of his opponent. Of course, you got the Chokeslam as well as the Tombstone Piledriver. Which can you really come up with a better name for a finishing move?

The character itself was amazing! The whole dark and mysterious character and as I grew older I learned how the man himself Mark Calaway was the same way which was really one of the main reasons why that character got over. I mean again, the guy was nearly seven feet tall, over 300 pounds, long black hair pale skin and covered in tattoos

It is sad that his long career is over but the memories will always be there in my mind and in my heart. And also because of the WWE network.

Also I really love listening to his podcast Six Feet Under which you can watch on Youtube.

Rest assured, I do plan on writing more Undertaker stuff soon lol. But until then, I shall rest in peace lol.

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
