Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

 For the first time in a long time, I got to watch in my humble opinion, one of the funniest movies ever! And that the is movie Dodgeball.

This movie originally came to theaters in 2004 which was 20 years ago holy crap lol. The movie was written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. The films stars Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor and Rip Torn.

The film was about a group of misfits who are trying to win a dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas to win 50,000 dollars in order to save their struggling gym from being taken by a corporate fitness chain Global Gym.

Man was this movie funny! It was quite a long time since I had seen it and when I decided to watch it again on TV, it still holds up and was I ever just losing my mind laughing. This movie was all about the physical comedy. I can not keep a straight face when watching them getting hit in the face, or seeing them trying to dodge getting hit by a wrench and trying to avoid getting hit by traffic.

I really enjoyed watching the interactions between Vaughn, Stiller and Taylor. Rip Torn (RIP) as Patches O'Houlihan was just flat out incredible! Just thinking about it now is making me laugh 😂  

What I found even crazier was that this movie was a 20 million dollar budget and it completely surpassed it making a grand total of 168.4 million dollars at the box office. 😮

For the longest time, I thought that this movie could never be able to have a sequel or even be a made in today's world. Well guess what I just discovered, the sequel for Dodgeball is currently in production after 20 years since the original was made. And on a personal note, I am not really sure how I feel about this happening.

But either way, I really enjoyed seeing this movie again. It is just as funny as it was 20 years ago and it really is a classic.

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
