Blue (Da Ba Dee)

  Can you believe that it has been 25 years since one of my favorite songs came into existence in the form of Blue (Da Ba Dee) all the back in 1998.

The song was created by the Italian music trio of Jeffrey Jey, Maurizio Lobina and Gabry Ponte. Collectively known as Eiffel 65.

It was originally released in Italy back in 98 before coming to the US in 1999 as the lead single for their debut album Europop.

This song was amazing! I have never heard of a sound like it before, it kind of made me feel like I was in a sci-fi movie. 

To be honest with you guys, I had absolutely no idea what the lyrics are even about when it first came out. I just sing along with the song. But as I did my research and I discovered that the song was about someone who was feeling blue because he got no one to talk to.

But also speaks about random stuff that is also colored blue, like his house, his windows, his car, you get the picture 😆.

The music video was awesome! It was just like a a sci-fi movie. The story was the lead singer Jeffrey Jey was abducted by a group of blue aliens and the other two members of the band chase after them. After freeing their lead singer, they ultimate return to the planet and perform a concert for the blue aliens.

Now many people like to trash the video, but hey, they were on a tight budget. 😁. Watching the documentary about the song on the channel Vice, the group talked about how they were inspired by such things like Star Wars and Blade Runner.

That's right there is a documentary on the how the song came to be and I highly recommend seeing it.

Here is a youtube link to the music video:

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
