The Wacky Adventures Of Josh And Chad: Trying Something New! Donating My Hair!

 You know with it being a new year, we all have those new year's resolutions that are basically goals we set up to accomplish during the bring new year. Most times, we unfortunately do not reach those goals due to one thing or another. But for me, I really wanted to be able to achieve this becoming more positive in my life.

Which has become more of a mission for me for the year 2026 than it has been in previous years. It is no secret that I struggle with mental health like depression for basically my whole life, but now more than ever, I wanted to find ways to be more positive and I set a couple of goals that I am hoping to complete.

And I managed to complete one of those set goals for 2026 and that was to donor my hair for Wigs for Kids. 

The idea started a while back when I first decided to let my hair grow out. To be perfectly honest with you guys, I didn't really think it would grow like it did. If you seen how my dad is, you would totally understand, basically, all the men on my father's side are balding, so to see it grow was a bit of a shock for me.

But the longer it grew, made me begin to think about donating it. As mentioned earlier, I wanted to be more positive and maybe inspire some more positive energy into the world.

Honestly, I didn't really know where to look, being from a small town in PA, but thankfully, my parents had told me about this place near by and eventually got a hold of the lovely ladies at a place called Michelle's and set up a date to cut my hair.

Me and Chad arrived at Michelle's where we got to meet the lady who was going to cut my hair and her name was Candy.

Then, the moment of truth had arrived and one by one, Candy wrapped my hair in four different pony tails which Chad had a blasted making jokes on me lol. Michelle then came into the shop and told me that they could deliver them to Wigs for Kids.

It really feels good to be able to do something like this. Although I struggle mentally on a regular basis, I still love to do good and doing this really brought a smile on my face. I just wanted to prove to everyone especially myself, that no matter how dark things may seem to be, there is always a way to find the light.

With that being said, I personally want to say thank you to both Candy and Michelle for helping me put all of this together, my family for their support and God for inspiring me. I pray to all of you out there reading this, that it will inspire you to create a positive outlook in this dark world. No matter how little it may seem, there is always beauty in bringing light towards the darkness.

And to all of you who have suffered because of cancer, my thoughts and prayers to every single one of you. Just know that you are loved and that this horrible disease can never take away the beauty that is buried deep inside of you.

I love you all! Here is to being more positive!

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...

Congrats To Trent Hidlay! (World Champion)

Image
 Although, it has become common knowledge, by many of us who live in Mifflin County. But former Huskies' great Trent Hidlay pulled off an incredible comeback and became the 2025 World Wrestling Champion in Croatia at 92 kg. After being down 10-2, Hidlay powered his way back to defeat Amanula Gadzhimagomedov 13-10 to win the World's Gold Medal. This is such an inspirational story that needs to be told because stuff like this does not happen very often, especially in a small community like Mifflin County.  To me, the story of Trent is all about never giving up and continuing to push forward as well as hard work and dedication. What this young man has done is truly remarkable. I have been covering local sports for over ten years now and seeing where Trent has started to where he is now really puts a smile on my face. I mean this kid has won two State championships when he was in High School before moving on to Division 1 college wrestling at NC State. While there, Trent was a fou...

25 Years Of Loving Memories!

Image
WOW! It is very hard to believe that on this day April 25, 2000, I lost one of the most fun and loving people that I have ever known. And I called him Pap! It really is true about how time flies, it still feels like only yesterday that I was told that Pap had past away. It was my first experience with death in my life and honestly, didn't handle it too well. For nearly ten years, my Pap never failed to make me smile and laugh. Heck! I always looked forward to seeing him and Nan when I was a kid. Some of my personal favorite memories with Pap was when he took me and my big brother Cody to go see the Merf Dog. I also loved when every time that we would leave and we forgot to hug him, he would begin to "cry" that we didn't hug him and we ended up running back up the porch step and give him and Nan and BIG Hug. Baseball season would come around and he be there watching the Cardinals play and I be sitting there with him and having fun. I remember hanging out in the backyar...
