Korn (Band)

 Oh man, this band was a huge part in shaping me into what I am today and that band is Korn. This incredible band were a key factor in the rise of the musical genre called Nu-Metal which for those who don't know is a mixture of rap and metal.

The first time that I remember witnessing Korn was during one of my personal favorite shows to watch as a kid and that was Total Request Live and I got watch a couple of their songs Got The Life and Freak on A Leash. I was hooked from there on out.

What I didn't realize that these guys have been around since the early 90s starting with a demo called Neidermayer's Mind.

Outside of that, Korn has a total of 14 albums with the first being Korn in 1994 to their latest one in 2022 with Requiem.

These albums featured such amazing songs like Got the Life, Freak on a Leash of course. But there were also songs like Justin, Blind, Clown, No Place to Hide, Falling Away from Me, Coming Undone, Twister Transistor, Let the Guilt go, Start the Healing, etc. 

Honestly, one of my favorite Korn moments was watching their Unplugged show! Holy Crap was it awesome! I dare say it was one of the best Unplugged shows, but this is simply my humble opinion.

Being a bit of a goth kid myself, I really felt comfortable with Korn, these guys broke through during a very interesting time in music, the late 90s. During this time it was all about Backstreet Boys and Nsync, basically the Pop era of that time which isn't my style, no disrespect to those guys. But Korn just spoke to me and many other people who felt that they didn't fit in with "normal society" and I am forever grateful for that. 

Plus just hearing the combination of metal with the hip-hop was truly incredible to listen to. Korn was definitely among the bands I would listen to when I am just kicking it back in my room with my head phones on and escape from the "real world".

Thank you guys so much! Hope and Pray that you guys will continue to find success!

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. ...
