The end of 2022 is upon us!

Hard to believe we're at the end of the 2022 already... what a shitty year it's been! Well, as per usual I have no plans to bring in the new year, I don't get out much these days so this picture is pretty damn accurate for me! I've made my peace with it though. I never could get a relationship to go the long haul and in reality I wasted most of my life away on all the wrong women. I'm heading into my older years alone and honestly it's not so bad. There are upsides to being alone. Less drama, less stress, and less worrying about all the BS that goes into being with someone. I don't miss all that. Really the only bad part about being single is the loneliness, the rest isn't so bad. Anyway, here's to another year come and gone... let's hope 2023 will be somewhat better!

Merry Christmas...

Christmas certainly hasn't been the same for me since many of my family members are gone now but I am trying to at least acknowledge the day regardless. Merry Christmas to you all. If you're lucky enough to have family around, treasure them. They are the real gifts in this life.

World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is now live!!

World of Warcraft's brand new expansion, 'Dragonflight' is now officially released to the world and as a WoW player I couldn't be happier. It's hard to believe that I have been playing this game for 18 years now! It still blows my mind when I stop to think about it. I'm thrilled about this new expansion because I have always loved dragons and that is the main theme of Dragonflight. From everything I have seen thus far, Blizzard have once again outdone themselves. All I can say is THANK YOU, BLIZZARD!! World of Warcraft has been a huge part of my life for almost 2 decades and I have loved every moment of it. I'm thankful that I've been able to play the game for this long. Here's to hoping I'm still around for awhile so I can keep playing! To my fellow WoW players out there, I say to you... It's go time! LET'S DO THIS!! See you in The Dragon Isles!

Goodbye October!

So long old friend! God willing, I'll see you again next year.

Happy 28th Anniversary to KoRn's Self Titled album!

Wow... KoRn unleashed their first album to the world 28 years ago to the day! I honestly cannot even begin to fathom my life without this record or this band being a part of it. KoRn has been such a huge part of my life in so many ways. They were always more than just a band to me. They have been the pillar I have leaned on for almost 30 years now and have become a way of life for me. They've literally been the soundtrack to my life. No matter what I was going through, their music was there to see me through it. No other band on Earth has ever touched the part of my soul that KoRn has. I have so much gratitude, respect, and thankfulness to the guys in KoRn (Past and present members included!). To Jonathan Davis, Brian Welch, James Shaffer, Reginald Arvizu, Ray Luzier, and David Silveria I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for not just making music for the world but also for being the therapy that has got me through so much in my life and continues to help keep me going in this world. As Jonathan once said many years ago, I turn it right back around to you gentlemen and say: "I could have.. never lived.. if it wasn't... for you."

Hello October!

Glad I made it to see another October... All my life this has been my favorite month of the year. I miss getting out in nature and seeing the beautiful changing colors of the leaves. I just don't get out much anymore, but hey.. at least I'm still around! It could be worse.

First Day of Fall 2022

Today is the first day of Fall and even though I don't really get out much anymore, I still love this time of year. I always have and I always will. I'd like to get out and see some nature this year.. but not sure if that'll happen or not, we shall see.

Never Forget...

To all the men and women that lost their lives on this day 21 years ago... May you rest in peace. You are not forgotten...

I miss you, Momma...

Momma,

Well here we are again on the worst day of the year... The day I dread more than any other. It's hard to believe that five years ago today you left this world... I wish I could say that it has gotten easier for me to deal with that fact, but it really hasn't and I doubt it ever will. Losing you was the worst thing I have had to go through. I didn't just lose my Mom... I lost my best friend, my confidant, and the person I trusted more than any other. I truly treasured the bond you and I shared. Knowing you loved me is what kept me going. No matter what I went through or how bad things got at times, you were always there and had my back. I was so very lucky that I got to have you as my Mother. You will always be the greatest gift I ever had. While God and I haven't always seen eye to eye as you well know, I was at least always thankful to him for giving me you as a Mother... and I still am! I just wish he didn't take you away... I know we all have to die, It just sucks. Death will always be the part of life that I hate the most. It has always depressed me in knowing that everything has to end sooner or later. I feel like the grief of losing you will never go away, and maybe it's not supposed to. I read something awhile back that said: "Grief I've learned, is really just love. It is all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corner of your eyes, the lump in your throat and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go... Where there is deep grief, there was great love." I miss you more than you will ever know... Rest easy, Momma... I love you. ❤

- Your Son, Josh

Honoring the fallen...

To all of the brave men and women who are no longer with us, I honor you today. I can never fully express enough gratitude and appreciation for your sacrifice in defending this country. You are the real heroes and you have my utmost respect. Thank you...

Happy Birthday, Momma...

Hey Momma... Today has always been one of my favorite days of the year because it was the day you were born. My Mother, my confidant, and my best friend. Thank you for giving me life, always being there for me, and showing me what real love is. I treasured the bond we had while you were alive, I treasure it still, and I always will. I love you, Momma... Happy Birthday. ❤

Happy Mother's Day...

Hey Momma...

Today is Mother's Day... This used to be one of my favorite days of the year, but has become a very difficult day for me to get through because you're not here. I can't believe you've been gone for almost 5 years now... I think I get through the days sort of lying to myself just thinking that we haven't spoke in awhile, that both of us have just been too busy, but in reality I know you're gone. It has never really gotten any easier to accept that fact, but I try to remind myself that a part of you is still with me. I remember what you told me when I was younger, that a day would come that you would no longer be here but a part of you would always be with me in my heart. I take comfort in that. I hope you always know that you were the greatest gift I ever had in this life... thank you for being my Mom and my best friend... I miss you so much... I hate that you had to leave... I just hope and pray that I get to see you again some day... I love you, Momma... Happy Mother's Day. <3

Love your Son,
- Josh

Emotional night of unpacking...

Well since my most recent move is finally over, I have slowly started to unpack and get situated here in the basement where I am now living. I started going through my boxes and totes. These things have gone with me everywhere since my days of living in Florida in the late 90's! Some of this stuff I haven't seen in over 20 years! These boxes and totes have gone from one place to another with me throughout my many moves and were always in storage units, garages, spare rooms, or basements. It's been a trip looking through my things but I have to say last night was rather hard for me. I found so many old cards my Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa had given to me for holidays and birthdays. I found old pics of them as well. So many memories from years ago! I cried a few times. It caught me off guard but that's how it goes. I'm still very broken from losing them. It started with losing my Grandpa back in 2015 then 2 years later my Mom and 5 months after her my Grandma. It's just something I don't think I am ever going to get over or move on from. I'm thankful for the memories I have but I miss all of them terribly. It was just an overall really emotional night. As I continue to look through these boxes I hope not every time is as emotional. I'm not sure how much more my old ticker can handle, It's already messed up enough as it is... Here's to hoping the rest of the unpacking process goes smoothly!

Requiem is out now, and it's awesome!

TODAY IS THE DAY!! KoRn's new album 'Requiem' is out now! I have to say, having listened to it several times, I love it already! KoRn never disappoints! THANK YOU for another great album, gentlemen! This one is a banger for sure! 🤘😁🤘

KoRn's brand new album 'Requiem' drops tomorrow and I for one am excited! I'm always hyped to hear new KoRn. These guys have been the soundtrack to my life for the last 28 years! So thankful they're still around making music. THANK YOU, KORN!! 🙂

So begins 2022...

Here's to hoping this year is better than the last!
