Britannica's Tales From Around The World

 This was a very underrated series in my humble opinion and it is crazy to think that it came out the same year as when me and my twin brother Chad came into existence in the year 1990. 

Britannica's Tales From Around The World was a direct to video educational series that was aimed to teach young children a familiar fairy tale from around the world, followed by two lesser known fairy tales that are very similar theme.

The show stars the late great Pat Morita (RIP) who would explain the significance of each of the three stories before zooming towards the country which the tale was traditionally told.

There were six different videos that featured three different stories. Some of those videos includes tales like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast and Hansel and Gretel just to name a few.

I remember watching these videos on VHS at my Nan and Pap's house as a kid. Me and Chad would watch the crap out of those tapes. I personally enjoy watching the one about Rumpelstiltskin.

What I love most about these videos was how educational they were. Which for some maybe a bit surprised by that but seriously, I thought it was cool to see how some many different countries could have similar stories from so far away from each other. It just goes to show you how much more we have in common than people realize or even wanted to admit.

It really was such a beautiful series and I truly believe that this is now needed more than ever. I miss those times as a kid. Beautiful memories!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

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...

 Recently, I had found out that a family friend of ours named Nick Dickson had a stroke and people have been doing what they can to support him and his family. Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
