Joseph’s 1,200th Blog Post Is Full Of Swag!

Today, as I begin to use my computer again for the first time in several days, I have reached another milestone on this blog.  I am writing my 1,200th blog post on this blog … and it will be about a classy person.  His name is Jook Greer, who is one of my neighbors on National Hill.

Jook is one of the classiest people that I have ever known … and, back in April, we were able to wear both the white 2017 Stanley Cup Champions T-shirts and the grey and black Puma jackets with class … and swag.  Well, actually, we just wore our shirts with class, but we did wear the jackets with both class and swag.

On April 8, 2019, Jook Greer and I posted for this selfie outdoors on National Hill. On that day, we wore our white 2017 Stanley Cup Champions shirts with class … and we wore our grey and black Puma jackets with both class and swag.

As you can see, Jook is both a classy neighbor and a swaggy friend.  He is also the subject of my 1,200th blog post.

Happy 45th Birthday, Michael Spicer!

During the second half of my blog’s fifth year, I’m going to give you some chances to revisit some of my past blog posts … and throughout the month of July, I will give you chances to revisit some of my posts from my blog’s fifth year. Today, before I begin to celebrate my blog’s fifth anniversary for a whole month, I’m going to let you revisit a post that I wrote down this past Friday … and it is entitled “Happy 45th Birthday, Michael Spicer!”

This past Friday, Michael Spicer, who is both my friend and my neighbor, turned 45 years old. Michael has been a friend of mine since 2012 … and he has been one of my neighbors on National Hill for more than 10 years now. Over the past 2 years or so, we were both able to wear the grey Superman shirts, the blue Dragon Ball Z T-shirts and the grey Zombie Hunter shirts outdoors. Michael has turned me into a terrific neighbor and a better friend over the years … and, as I was getting ready to start wrapping up my blog’s fifth year, I figured that Michael Spicer’s 45th birthday would be the perfect subject for the blog post that would wrap up my blog’s fifth year.

Now, tomorrow, I will get you guys ready to start celebrating my blog’s fifth anniversary, which will occur on August 24th … and, beginning on Wednesday, I will be spending an entire month celebrating my blog’s fifth anniversary by giving you some interesting statistics about my blog … and some of them may surprise you.

In honor of my blog’s fifth year, I’d like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around July 22nd in previous years …

Happy 45th Birthday, Michael Spicer!

Today, I would like to wish a terrific person named Michael Spicer a happy 45th birthday.  He is both my friend and my neighbor.  Michael is one of the classiest people I have ever known … and he’s also a “super” person.  On July 10, 2019, we wore our Zombie Hunter shirts outdoors for a few minutes that evening.  I would like to thank him for turning me into a better neighbor and a better friend.

In recent years, Michael and I were able to wear the blue Dragon Ball Z shirts and the grey Superman shirts outdoors.

I would like to thank my neighbor and friend, Michael Spicer, for getting me a blue “Dragon Ball Z” T-shirt. It is a fantastic shirt.

On May 7, 2019, me and Michael Spicer were able to wear our blue “Dragon Ball Z” T-shirts outdoors for a few short moments.

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.”

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.

Joseph and Michael Spicer, who is both his neighbor and his friend, are wearing their grey Superman shirts with class.

Joseph’s Top Blog Posts For July 2019

We are halfway through 2019 already … and, in less than two months, my blog will be turning five years old.  Before I start celebrating the milestone in a few weeks, I’m going to tell you about some of the blog posts that I’ll be writing down in July.  Hopefully, at least one of them will be able to catch your eye.

One of my blog posts will be entitled “I still have my half-zip hooded jacket one year later!”  I will talk about my Beautiful Giant jacket, which I purchased at Bridgeville T.J. Maxx one year ago.  The jacket is very classy.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “Our new bathroom is two years old!”  It has almost been two years since we got our new bathroom.  It still looks fantastic.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “Happy 45th birthday, Michael Spicer!”  I will be wishing Michael Spicer, who is both my friend and my neighbor, a happy 45th birthday in a blog post on July 19th.

Another one of my blog posts will be entitled “My Blog Is Celebrating Five Years!”  In the post, I will start celebrating my blog’s fifth anniversary by getting you guys ready to celebrate the occasion.  Then, beginning on July 24th, I will celebrate my blog’s fifth anniversary for a whole month.

I will also let you guys revisit some of my blog posts from my blog’s fifth year during the month of July.

Before we get ready to celebrate my blog’s fifth anniversary from July 24th until August 24th, which is the day that we’ll be celebrating the big milestone, I hope you will check out the posts that I’ll be writing down in July.

I may be taking my evening walks again soon!

Late last year, I said that I would no longer take my evening walks around National Hill.  Well, I may rethink that idea in the future.  It actually came to me after I happened to bump into one of my neighbors in Great Southern Shopping Center on Friday morning.  Later that day, I would walk around National Hill for a few minutes … and I would do that a few times over the weekend.  While I was walking, I did some thinking … and, this week, I will be walking around National Hill at around 6:25 in the evening.  If it works, I may start walking at my old time again in the future.  So, obviously, at some point after the Fourth of July, I will start walking at around 5:00 on select afternoons … and I will do that mainly on weekdays.

On June 17, 2019, at around 6:30 in the evening, I took my first evening walk around National Hill in several months. I said that I would no longer take my evening walks late last year, but I may reinstate them on a regular basis in just a matter of days. Beginning right after the Fourth of July, I will walk at 5:00 on select afternoons, mainly on weekdays.

If you happen to see me walking outdoors one evening this Summer, please say hello to me … and make sure you speak to me in a respectful and friendly manner.

Next time, I will give you a chance to revisit two of my blog posts from my blog’s fourth year.  One is from April of 2018 … and one is from March of 2018.

In honor of my blog’s fifth year, I’d like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around June 18th in previous years …

Say hello to my friend, Jessica Asti

Last Sunday, at around 10:10 in the morning, I was leaving Heidelberg Shop ‘n Save after shopping in there for a few minutes … and, just before I walked out one of the doors, I just happened to bump into another one of my classmates.  Her name is Jessica Asti.  In the past, she was Jessica Deep.  Jessica is one of my neighbors on National Hill … and we both went to South Fayette High School together.  Obviously, in the past, we would bump into each other at the bus stop, which was at one end of Campbell Avenue.  Jessica lived on Allegheny Avenue, which is the other street on National Hill.  She’s not currently one of my neighbors at this time, but she does visit National Hill from time to time … and, in a way, she’s still one of my neighbors.

Anyway, whenever I bumped into Jessica at Heidelberg Shop ‘n Save last week, she was nice enough to pose for a selfie with me … and you can see it below this part of the blog post.

On May 26, 2019, as I was Heidelberg Shop ‘n Save at around 10:10 that morning, I bumped into Jessica Asti, who was once one of my neighbors on National Hill. She went to South Fayette High School with me in the 2000s.

Joseph’s New “Dragon Ball Z” T-Shirt

Today, I would like to show you another present that I got for my 33rd birthday.  It would be a blue “Dragon Ball Z” T-Shirt.  Now, I already have an orange “Dragon Ball Z” zip-up hoodie, which is from Ripple Junction.  I got it in the mail back in 2015 … and I like it a lot.  The “Dragon Ball Z” T-Shirt, which is from Wal-Mart, is the second “Dragon Ball Z” shirt that I have ever owned.  My neighbor, Michael Spicer, got me the “Dragon Ball Z” shirt for my birthday … and I really like it a lot.  I would like to thank him for getting it for me and for allowing me to have a classy shirt of my own.

This is my new “Dragon Ball Z” T-shirt. I got it for my 33rd birthday. This is the second DBZ shirt that I have ever received. Four years ago, I got an orange DBZ zip-up hoodie in the mail.

Here’s a close-up shot of my new blue “Dragon Ball Z” T-shirt.

On May 7, 2019, me and Michael Spicer were able to wear our blue “Dragon Ball Z” T-shirts outdoors for a few short moments.

I would like to thank my neighbor and friend, Michael Spicer, for getting me a blue “Dragon Ball Z” T-shirt. It is a fantastic shirt.

As you can see here, I like my new “Dragon Ball Z” T-shirt a lot and I will be wearing it many times in the future.  Thank you, Michael Spicer, for getting me a classy T-shirt for my 33rd birthday.

Next time, I will give you a chance to revisit some more of my blog posts from my blog’s third year.  I wrote the posts in the summer of 2017.

Joseph Is Still “Built For The Wild” One Year Later!

Just over one year ago, I bought my camouflaged Yeti shirt at Bridgeville T.J. Maxx … and I’m still “Built For The Wild” one yera later.  I have worn the shirt a few times over the past year … and it gives me class whenever I wear it.  I liked it so much, I talked one of my friends into buying one … and his name is Derek Cryblskey.  The shirts give us class … and I actually talked about Derek in two of my blog posts last year.  So, as you may have guessed, I am still “built for the wild” one year later.

I have now owned by camouflaged Yeti shirt for one year.

I have been able to wear my camouflaged Yeti shirt with class for just over one year now.  I hope you guys like the shirt as much as I do.

This is the front of my new Yeti shirt. The word “Yeti” is in small letters. I purchased my camouflaged Yeti shirt at T.J. Maxx on May 11, 2018.

On June 8, 2018, Joseph purchased a light blue Yeti Coolers hat at the T.J. Maxx store in Bridgeville. The hat also has a little rope on it.

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.

On May 12, 2018, one day after Joseph purchased his Yeti shirt, he was able to wear it with class. As you can see, Joseph likes his shirt a lot!

On May 11, 2018, I purchased a new camouflaged shirt from Yeti. This is the back of the shirt. It says “Yeti” in big letters … and, underneath of the word “Yeti,” it says “Built For The Wild.”

In honor of my blog’s fifth year, I’d like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around May 15th in previous years …

Joseph is still “super” two years later!

Two years ago, I got my grey Superman shirt … and I’ve worn it several times since I got it.  I’ve worn it mainly with jeans, but I will try to wear it with shorts and dress pants later this year as well.

I have been able to wear my grey Superman shirt with class a few times over the past two years.

In December of 2018, me and my uncle, Thomas Papakie, wore the grey Superman shirts with class.

On December 22, 2018, me and Thomas Papakie wore the grey Superman shirts with class. In this case, he’s a “super” uncle.

I hope you guys still like the grey Superman shirt as much as I still like my shirt.

Remembering Pauline Two Years Later

Two years ago today, Pauline Danesky, who was both my aunt and my neighbor for years, passed away at the age of 88.  She was a very classy person.  I will miss her a lot … and I think about her every chance I get.

Several years ago, me and Pauline Danesky rode on the train while we were at Kennywood Park.
