Type-O Negative (RIP Peter Steele)

 I can't believe that it has been 15 years since we lost a great musician in Peter Steele who was the lead singer of the legendary gothic metal band Type-O Negative.

The started in the late 80s and went all the way to 2010 due to the unfortunate death of Steele. But during this time the band had compiled a total of seven studio albums, three live albums, two compilation albums, two video albums, sixteen singles and ten music videos.

The first album called Slow, Deep and Hard came out in 1991 with their final album Dead Again came out in 2007.

The common themes in Type-O Negative songs involve romance, depression and death, which relates to me in a lot of ways.

These guys were a big part of the 90s especially when the albums Bloody Kisses and then later October Rust came out. And still to this very day, these songs hold up. Such great songs like Christian Woman, Black No 1, Dark Side of the Womb, Blood and Fire, Green Man, Wolf Moon, Love you to Death, Halloween In Heaven and My Girlfriend's Girlfriend.

As mentioned earlier, I really related to the themes that they talked about in their songs. Looking back being a 90s kid, I was a bit of a goth kid growing up which didn't exactly thrill my parents but hey, these guys made it cool.

Plus I really loved the sound of Peter's voice when I listen to any Type-O Negative songs. His voice in my humble opinion is one of the best vocals in music history. Also the guys looked like a real life Vampire which you can not get any cooler than that.

Again, I still find it very hard to believe that it has now been 15 years since his death. Which just proves the old saying, appreciate what you have because it may not be there tomorrow. And I will always appreciate what Type-O Negative has done for me as well as many others.

Rest In Peace Peter Steele! And I pray for the remaining members of the band to find their happiness and peace.

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...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...
