Captain America (Comic Book Character)

 Well, what better way to celebrate the fourth of July, than talking about a comic book character 😁. The man himself, Captain America! 

Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby and was released to the masses on December 20, 1940, nearly 65 years ago. 😮

The story follows Steve Rogers a frail man who was enhanced to peak physical condition thanks to a special super soldier serum after joining the US Military during World War 2.

Once completing his transformation, Rogers would don the red, white and blue suit, was given a virtually indestructible shield made from vibranium and his sidekick Bucky Barnes. Together they joined the fight against the evil Red Skull and the rest of the AXIS powers.

Obviously, the character was created to help fund the efforts of the Allies during WWII where the world was literally was in total chaos. But it also taught the future generation at the time about having values even in a war torn society.

And that was one of the reason why I like the Captain America character so much. Cap cares for other, he does his very best to help those in need and to better society as a whole even when he made his return to the modern times and was completely different than the one he once lived in.

Another reason why I love Captain America, was that he was once a fragile human being and was constantly rejected several times from the army but continued to find a way to help anyway he can before being selected for the super soldier experiment. And even though he became super human, he remained humbled, he didn't let the powers go to his head, Steve continued to showcase the good side of humanity.

Captain America has been in numerous comic books, video games, movies, cartoons, TV shows, etc. But I must say that Chris Evans has done an incredible job as Captain America. He really nailed that character so well. Shout Out to Chris Evans!

Hope that Captain America will always bring hope to us all!

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...
