The Joshua Yoder Blog

 It always amazes me how much time flies in this world and today's subject is no different. One of the more positive influences in my life and that is a professional wrestler named Sting. 30 Years ago, was an interesting time in the life of a young Joshua and I was in the mix of watching pro wrestling during the 1990s and it was also a major turning point in the career of Sting. Of course it is much easier to look back today and see how much of this amazing character change was for Sting and really pro wrestling. By this point in my wrestling joy, was seeing Sting who at the time was a mostly blonde hair and was tag teaming with his buddy Lex Luger. And honestly, I do not think these two get enough credit of how great of a tag team they were. But also happening at this time of professional wrestling, was a storyline that ultimately tipped the scales in the favor of one WCW during the Monday Night War and it was the NWO. The NWO was a major driving force in professional wrestling an...

 So here we are folks! Year three, of the Joshua Yoder Blog has finally been completed. Hard to believe to be perfectly honest with all of you because this past year really did not go the way I was hoping it would. The third season certainly was a bit of a drop for me personally. Coming off of year two of the Joshua Yoder Blog, I was feeling pretty good, my blog had doubled the views it did the year before and my mind was totally blown. I was excited! I mean, for the first time in my life, I felt as though something was heading in the right direction. But then things went south real quick. For the record, I am simply trying to use my writing as well as my talk show to help build a career for myself. I am not trying to cause any drama or any kind of BS. I just like to write poetry, stories, etc. As mentioned earlier, things went a little south for me during the run. It started with my Facebook account getting HACKED. For the remainder of 2025 was me losing a source of displaying my ...

 With it being 30 years of Resident Evil, I thought I take a look back, all the way to the year of 1996 when a video game company Capcom introduced the world to this survival horror game on the original Playstation. Set in the fictional mountain region in the Midwest, players get to choose between either Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, who are members of a elite task force known as S.T.A.R.S. and they must escape from a mansion that has been infested with zombie and other monsters. Many gamers nowadays would probably think this is funny, but at the time, the original Resident Evil was given high praise for its graphic, gameplay, sound and atmosphere. But hey, it was 1996, this was a big step for gaming at that point. At the time, it was the highest selling Playstation game of all time which ultimately it was Gran Turismo who became the all time selling game for the original Playstation with Final Fantasy 7 coming in second place. In fact, Resident Evil grossed 200,000,000 dollars...

 Why must I go through another night laying in tears. It has though everything I feared has surrounded me and those I hold dear. What good am I anyway? So many times I've asked God this question every time I pray. No answer seems to be given, all hope has gone astray. I am such a failure, can't you hear my cries. I'm so ashamed, that I can't even looked into my niece and nephew's eyes. God I pray they never have to feel the way I feel. Please protect them Lord and show them that, no matter what, love is real. I've tried my best to be the man and search for love and happiness, but each time these women just me as someone they just past on through. It was like they were telling me, we never loved you. With each passing day, I only get reminders of why I fail. The older I get, just only reminds me how much more my body is frail. Any kind of happiness has set sail. Let me close my eyes and escape reality. Just let me lay to rest and hear the sounds of raindrops put ...

 Holy Cow! I can not believe that this musical masterpiece is 40 years old this year. Last year, I wrote a blog post about the Phantom of the Opera which was a book written by Gaston Leroux over 100 years ago. But then, in 1986, the world was introduced to the musical adaptation of the great story thanks to the efforts of Andrew Lloyd Webber who created the music along with lyricists Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe. Stilgoe along with Lloyd Webber also did the libretto and follows the plot from the book where singer Christine Daae, who becomes the obsession of a mysterious and disfigured musical genius aka the Phantom of the Opera who lives in a labyrinth beneath the Paris Opera house. The musical made its debut again back in 1986 at the West End theatre in London and from there onward left a legacy like no other. Winning numerous awards, gross billions of dollars worldwide, is the longest running opera show in history and has been seen by 100s of millions of people in multiple co...
