The Cluefinders!

 Now, it is no secret that I am a NERD! I enjoy my video games, anime, etc. But what many people may not know is that some of these games from my childhood were not only fun, but educational as well. One of those kind of games I remember playing was the Cluefinders.

The series made its debut back in 1998 with the Mystery of Mathra which was the first of 13 total videos games created for the series.

From the first game on, we followed the amazing adventures of the group called the Cluefinders. Members were Joni Savage, Santiago Rivera, Owen Lam, Leslie Clark, LapTrap and later on their dog Socrates. These games to me, reminded me of Scooby Doo where it was like a mystery which also involved genres like fantasy and science fiction.

Now, I am not have been the brightest kid in school, I would go as far and say I am pretty slow. But playing these games I definitely enjoyed learning. In fairness to these game, for the most part were based on what grade the player was in. Of course there were plenty of others games that just focused on one subject.

Heck! Finding these games on youtube watching people playing them brings back so many memories for me. I would love to be able to show my little nephew these games and use it to help him learn and show Lukey that you never stop learning and more importantly, learning can be fun!

As I was going through memory lane researching for this blog post, I discovered that this series had won five awards! Which was pretty cool to see that because these games were really fun and other people were having fun playing these games too.

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
