Limp Bizkit

 Some of you might be a little bit surprised by this, but I am a big fan of a musical group known as Limp Bizkit which was formed back in 1994 and were big in the underground before getting hitting the big time in 1997 went they launched their debut album Three Dollar Bill, Ya'll.

One of the things I love about this band was the fact that DJ Lethal was a part of it. I remember realizing that this was the same DJ who played with another group I enjoy listening to in the House of Pain. Speaking of which, that was another reason why I love Limp Bizkit because the mixture of hip-hop elements with the rock and roll, nu-metal as they called it. It just felt like to me as a kid growing on both rap like House of Pain, Cypress Hill as well as rock like ACDC, Metallica, etc. So to see them combined was incredible.

Plus this was also during the era of the skateboarding, rollerblading, scootering, BMX. Basically the X games which was becoming more and more popular around the late 1990s. I myself was a blader, of course didn't really have much to skate on being in a small town of PA.

The combination of Fred Durst's rapping and listening to the sick beats from DJ Lethal, the amazing guitar play from Wes Borland, Sam Rivers on bass and John Otto on drums never was not entertaining.

The first time I had heard about Limp Bizkit was with their second album which came out in 1999 and it was called Significant Other. God only knows how much I love that album. I could just put on my headphones, press play on my CD player and just walk around like the world didn't exist.

Some of my favorite songs I enjoy listening to are My Generation, Nookie, My Way, Break Stuff, Rollin, Boiler, Behind Blue Eyes. But I personally love Re-Arranged, just the tone and story about it really connected with me, even to this very day.

Looking back at some the old music that I listened to really does bring me back to a time where I was at my most imaginative and I feel like as weird as it may sound, God is trying to help remember of some of the positive moments of my youth. And this group was definitely a huge part of my childhood, really just rap rock/ nu-metal in general was so thanks Limp Bizkit.

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

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...

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. ...
