Casper The Friendly Ghost

 You know, with most characters during the Halloween season. They are usually dark, menacing, vile, gory creatures looking to kill and destroy. Turning all of our dreams into our worst fears and nightmares. But what if I told you that not all monsters were so scary. In fact, you can say they are friendly, much like today's subject, Casper The Friendly Ghost.

Casper was created by the duo of Seymour Reit and Joe Oriolo all the way back in 1945. Casper along with his three uncles Stretch, Fatso and Stinkie. Well actually their relationship varies in different stories throughout their adventures. For example, in the early comics, Casper never called them his Uncles.

In fact, a 1995 film (Casper) which starred Christina Ricci as well as the spin-off cartoon does say that they are his Uncles as well as the 1998 movie (Casper meets Wendy), which was a fun movie by the way. But the 1997 film (Casper Spirited Beginning) Casper says that they were not related, he just happened to meet them for the first time, but later adopt him by the end of the film.

It is crazy to think that a character like Casper is still around and it has been nearly 80 years! 😲 Heck I didn't even remember Casper having a video game and sure enough he does, seven of them to be exact. The first being based on the 1995 film and the latest one being all the back in 2009 for the Nintendo Wii.

The first time I remember seeing Casper was indeed, the 1995 film with Ricci and I also enjoyed watching the 1997 film with Hillary Duff too.

Now don't get me wrong, I do enjoy watching some scary movies, but there is nothing wrong with watching family friendly movies like this. I can not wait to show my little nephew Lukey Casper movies! I certainly had some great memories from my childhood where I remember getting me some candy and enjoying some fun movies.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe!🙏🙏🙏

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
