Happy Birthday My Twin! (35 Years)

 Well, well, well, 35 years, 35 years since I was brought into this crazy world. But for some of you may or may not know, I was born with another half and he is really the only person on this Earth who can honestly say that he has been with me since day zero. He is my identical twin, Chad.

People say everything happens for a reason and or there are certain people who come into your life to help you through things. Which honestly, I completely agree with those sentiments because Chadman has totally been that person who has helped me out so much with a lot of things.

Again, it is no secret that I struggle with Cerebral Palsy and Scoliosis. But what many people may not know is that it usually happens when it involves having twins which I just so happen to have a twin. Which leads me to my first point.

Thank you God for having my twin brother Chad in my life because, it made me realize that I wasn't alone in my struggles and that there who is always there for me. Which is really nice because for a very long time I had felt so alone. No one in this world can honestly say they can understand what I go through, except for Chad.

Especially when I was really going through some tough times and doing a lot of self-harming. Many days and many nights, I wondered if it was a great idea to just end it all. But thankfully, Chad was always there as a source of comfort and kept my mind at ease.

Living in a small town like Mattawana isn't always easy, plus a lot of stuff that I love, like comic books, anime, pro wrestling aren't exactly a common theme. It really is a good thing to have my twin with me who also likes the same things. Although we don't always agree with the reasons to why we love these things, but that is with every siblings.

We always played video games together and he has been always so supportive of me when it comes to creative writing and other art projects. Chad along with my parents and big brother Cody and his wife Christine were excited for me when I launched my first book.

Speaking of pro wrestling, I always felt like we are a real life tag team, us working together to reach something special.

I am so thankful for having my twin brother in my life. And with me trying to become more positive in my life, it is important to mention the ones who has been there for us and Chad has certainly been one of those people who has always been there for me when I was at my darkest.

This is how much I love my twin brother Chad, if I ever get a chance to marry the woman of my dreams, Chad is already marked as the best man. If I ever had a son, his name is going to be Chad Michael, or Chad something. He has been that important to me in my life.

I will always love you my dear twin and I pray that together, we can soon find our happiness and place in life. Thank you so much for always being there and I am proud to call you my twin.

With everything that we have been through together, from the death of our Pap to graduation to losing Nan to my self-harming to stepping in to be a part of our big brother Cody's wedding to becoming uncles for the first time and soon to be second time 😁. It certainly has been a ride.

Always appreciate those around you, because you never know when you will lose them and I love and appreciate everything about you my twin.

Happy Birthday Chad! It has been an interesting 35 years and I am excited to see where things are heading next for us. Hope and Pray nothing but the best for you my dear twin.

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...
