Joseph’s Top Blog Posts For January 2019

Can you believe it?  We are about to start 2019 … and, in just a few months, my blog will turn five years old.  I will give you guys many surprises as we approach that milestone.  Today, I would like to tell you about some of the blog posts that I’ll be writing down in January of 2019.

One of my blog posts will be entitled “Joseph’s Blog Has Now Been Viewed 5,000 Times By Various People.”  My blog crossed the 5,000-views mark on December 23, 2018 … and I will talk about the event in that blog post.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “I have owned my green lacrosse pullover top for one year!”  I have owned my green South Fayette Lions Lacrosse pullover for one year … and I will talk about it in a blog post.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “No Bad Days For Joseph.”  I received a grey No Bad Days T-shirt for Christmas … and I will talk about it in a blog post.

Another one of my blog post will be entitled “Happy 55th Birthday, Kevin!”  I will celebrate Kevin Barnett’s 55th birthday on January 4th by writing a blog post about the event.  Kevin is a friend of mine … and we worked at Bridgeville T.J. Maxx together in the late 2000s and the early 2010s.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “Remembering Pauline Two Years Later.”  I will talk about the second anniversary of Pauline Danesky’s passing in the blog post.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “Joseph Is Still A ‘Macho Man’ One Year Later.”  I will talk about my Macho Man shirt in a blog post in January.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “The Origins Of ‘Mr. Classy.'”  In the blog post, I will tell you how I came up with “Mr. Classy” as my current nickname … and the reason why I came up with it might surprise you.

I will use my blog’s features in January.  Let me tell you how I’ll be using them this time…

Say hello to Karen Schultz

For the past four years, I have had a terrific neighbor here on National Hill … and her name is Karen Schultz.  While I may not be able to see her as often as I would like to, she is still a terrific friend and a terrific person.  On December 10th, I bumped into Karen while I was at Eat ‘n Park in Kirwan Heights.  I was able to snap a selfie with her while I was there … and you can see it right below this part of this blog post.

On December 10, 2018, Joseph bumped into Karen Schultz, who is one of his neighbors on National Hill.

In honor of my blog’s fifth year, I’d like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around December 16th in previous years …

My walking schedule will change in 2019!

As you know, I am no longer taking my evening walks around National Hill.  I was able to walk around the neighborhood on Sunday afternoon since it was warm and sunny outside.  I know it’s early December, but I just had to do that.  Well, anyway, I will be walking around National Hill several times in 2019 … and I will be changing my walking schedule considerably, so that I do not disturb my friends and neighbors too much.

Here’s my walking schedule for 2019 …

Weekdays: Walk anytime between 9:00 in the morning and 12:30 in the afternoon
Weekends: Walk anytime between 7:30 in the morning and 5:00 in the afternoon

I hope you like this new schedule.  I have some terrific friends and neighbors on National Hill … and I’d like to keep it that way for a long time.

In honor of my blog’s fifth year, I’d like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around December 4th in previous years …

An “ode” to a friend named “Deek”

If you were growing up in the ’90s like me, you may have seen a rather unique logo on television.  It was for a production company called DiC.  It was pronounced “Deek” … and you heard someone say the word almost every single time.

I’m not going to talk about that company, but I would like to talk about the word “Deek” itself.  In fact, one of my friends sometimes uses that name.  His real name is Derek Cryblskey.  I talked about him in a blog post earlier this year.  Derek is a terrific friend and a classy neighbor.  He is polite, funny and down-to-earth.  Sometimes, I call him “Deek.”  Again, he’s just a terrific friend.

On May 19, 2018, me and Derek Cryblskey, who is one of my friends, were able to wear the camouflaged Yeti shirts with class. Derek is one of the classiest people that I’ve ever known.

Joseph’s Top Blog Posts For November 2018

November is almost here already … and, before you know it, 2018 will be coming to an end.  At some point in November, I will write my 1,000th blog post down … and it could be about anything.  Since I will be celebrating this milestone throughout the first half of November, I will be giving my features my break in November.  Also, as I prepare to write my 1,000th blog post in just a matter of days, I will write a 10-part blog post, which will be entitled “Joseph’s Road To His 1,000th Blog Post.”  In it, I will talk about my blog’s biggest milestones ever.  If everything goes according to plan, I will being my “road” to my 1,000th blog post on Thursday.

Of course, after I write my 1,000th blog post in the middle of November and after I celebrate the milestone, I will give you some great blog posts along the way.  One of my blog posts will be entitled “An ‘ode’ to a friend named ‘Deek.'”  It will be about my friend Derek Cryblskey, who sometimes likes to be called “Deek.”

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “I have owned my leather jacket for one year!”  I’m referring to my black leather jacket, which is from Vintage Leather.  I purchased it on kohls.com just last year.  It’s one of two jackets that turns me into “Mr. Classy.”  The other jacket, of course, is the grey Michael Kors jacket.

“Mr. Classy” and the grey Michael Kors jacket will be the subjects of the blog post that I’m about to tell you about.  This post will be entitled “Will the real ‘Mr. Classy’ please stand up?”  This post will be about “Mr. Classy” and his “stand-in,” whose name is Tim Smith.  Hopefully, we can wear our jackets on Thanksgiving Day this year.  If we can’t do that, I will give you guys a back-up blog post instead.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “Joseph Has Another Classy Item To Show You.”  I may buy another classy item at T.J. Maxx soon.  If I do buy the item, I will talk about it in this blog post.

I will give my blog a break for Halloween, but, beginning this Thursday, I will start my road to my 1,000th blog post.

I hope you guys will help me celebrate my 1,000th blog post in November … and I hope you will check out my 1,000th blog post when it does come out in the middle of November.  Don’t forget to check out my other blog posts throughout November as well.

Enjoy your day!

In honor of my blog’s fifth year, I’d like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around October 30th in previous years …

Blog Post Number 975

Today, I’m writing my 975th blog post for you guys … and I will be making a special announcement.  Some parts of it are good and some parts of it are bad.  I apologize in advance if I get a little bit emotional while I type this blog post.

As you probably know, I have not been taking a lot of my evening walks around National Hill this year.  I’ve been cutting back on them for personal reasons … and, in just a matter of days, I will stop doing that forever.  I won’t stop walking around National Hill completely, though.  I will start walking at other times during the day.  I will probably walk in the late morning hours instead of the late afternoon hours.  This way, I won’t have to disturb too many people while I walk around National Hill.  I do have fantastic neighbors and friends, though.

Thank you all for your understanding.

In tomorrow’s blog post, I will ask you guys a question about my 1,000th blog post, which will be written by me in just a few short weeks.

In honor of my blog’s fifth year, I’d like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around October 11th in previous years …

My “super” friend and neighbor, Michael

Since at least the late 2000s, Michael Spicer has been one of my neighbors on National Hill .. and, up until the Summer of 2012, I didn’t really get to know him that much.  That all changed on August 29, 2012, whenever I introduced myself to him near his home on National Hill … and, just three days later, we became friends on Facebook.

I would just like to say that Michael Spicer is both a “super friend” and a “super neighbor.”  We have now been real-life friends for six years … and we also like to celebrate our “friendaversary” in a rather interesting way.  We both have the grey Superman T-shirts … and we like to wear the shirts on or around August 29th of each year.  As of today, I have decided to dub those shirts as our “friendship shirts.”  That’s because our grey Superman T-shirts are now the official shirts of our friendship.

This is Michael Spicer, who is one of my neighbors on National Hill. He has been one of my neighbors for over 10 years … and he has been one of my friends for six years. Michael is a “super” friend and a “super” neighbor.

For more than 10 years, Michael and I have been neighbors on National Hill … and, for six of those years, we have been real-life friends. We are both “super friends” and “super neighbors” … and we have the grey Superman shirts to prove it. The shirts are now the official shirts of our friendship. I have now dubbed them our “friendship shirts.”

Next time, I will write my 950th blog post on my blog … and it will be about one of the classiest people that I have ever known.

In honor of my blog’s fifth year, I would like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around September 2nd in previous years …

Joseph’s 900th Blog Post

Today, I’m writing my 900th blog post … and, in more than 100 days or so, I will write my all-important 1,000th blog post on this blog.

Today, my 900th blog post will be about one of the classiest people that I have ever known … and his name is Derek Cryblskey.  Derek is one of the classiest friends that I have ever known.  He is a terrific friend and a terrific neighbor.  He also knows one of my store’s co-workers.

Recently, we were able to wear the camouflaged Yeti shirts with class.

On May 19, 2018, me and Derek Cryblskey, who is one of my friends, were able to wear the camouflaged Yeti shirts with class. Derek is one of the classiest people that I’ve ever known.

Joseph’s Top Blog Posts For June 2018

Can you believe it?  The month of June is almost here … and that means that Summer is right around the corner.  It also means that we’re almost halfway through 2018 already.

In this blog post, I’m gonna tell you about a few of the blog posts that I’ll be writing down in June.  One of those blog posts will be my 900th blog post.  I’ll be writing it in the middle of the month.  I won’t tell you what it will be about yet, but I will give you a hint right now.  My 900th blog post will be about one of my classiest friends ever.  It could be about any one of you guys.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “Joseph Remembers His Battle With Lyme Disease Two Years Later.”  I will talk about my battle with Lyme disease, which occurred nearly two years ago.  It seems like I just had it yesterday.  Tick season is getting underway, so I’m doing everything I can to stop myself from getting it again.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “Joseph Is Not Going To The Cabins This Year!”  In the blog post, I will tell you why I won’t be going to the cabins this year.  The reason may surprise you a little bit.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “Joseph’s New Colussy Chevrolet Shirt.”  This year, Colussy Chevrolet, which is located in South Fayette, is turning 100 years old this year … and they will have a classy shirt, which will come out next month.  I may buy one for myself next month.  Of course, if I don’t buy one, then I won’t write this blog post.  I will write a back-up blog post … and I don’t know what it will be about yet.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “An ‘ode’ to a classy friend named Michael.”  This blog post will be about one of my friends, whose name is Michael.  I can’t tell you which one it will be yet.

I will also give my features a break in June.  I’ll be giving my computer a break from around 7 p.m. on Friday, June 8th, until around 5 a.m. on Sunday, June 17th, which is Father’s Day.

I hope you will check out at least one of my blog posts in June.  Enjoy your day!
