There are only a few people, more so students at that time have witnessed this including my best friend Robert Wolfe and among few of others that were close to us know about what had happened in the lunch room in 2005 at Belfry High School. One day in early afternoon at Belfry High School, I was a senior student, one of two Deaf students who attended a public school but before that during my freshman year and sophomore year I was the only Deaf student that attended Belfry High School then when I go back to school after summer a Deaf girl named Cameo were transferred to Belfry High School as a sophomore from Ohio while I became a junior. As one of two Deaf student, it was a bit tough especially trying to mingle with the crowd, but I was fortunate to have a few friends who learned to be fluent in American Sign Language since a few of us became friends from the freshman year. Fast-forward to the senior year in 2005, in early afternoon at Belfry High School and it was time for a lunch but my math teacher allowed me to go to the lunch room a few minutes earlier before my lunch so that I could see my best friend because there were 3…

As you all know, my skin is white so obviously I am white and I do acknowledge that I have that privilege whether I want it or not as it’s a given based on my ethnicity so the only as far I can do is to say that I do also recognize that the United States and many of other countries have a huge problem with racism even to this day. The black people suffers oppression everyday by the very same color that I have on my skin which is something that I am very ashamed of, even though I do everything I can do to support black people through activism and to pass their voices on around in hope that I can or at least hope that we can bring more awareness of what is going on in this world on racism issues. I have thought over and over about if I should or should not write a blog post about the black history month because it never will be my place to do so as I am white but at the same time I feel that I would also be bothered not to do so as I want to echo that for the ones who oppress black people are the lowest of the low in the eyes of…
Joshie is back, blogging again and not only just that but also has redesigned the website! I know I haven’t properly written a blog post in a very long time, for many reasons that I rather keep it private, along with the holidays which usually when the people get busy especially during the Christmas time to shop for the presents and getting ready for the New Year Eve or New Year. For several months I have been struggling to find some free time to blog, not just blog but also to maintain several other websites and try to keep up with a few projects that I have going so it has been a hectic time for me lately, so I barely have any time for anything. Since that Christmas is done, New Year is done and now this is the time when people usually either relax or go back to work but, in my case, it is when the time that I relax which is why I can find the time to write this blog post. There are a lot of things that I would like to share on several different topics. 1-2019 Snippets So, let me start off with some of topics that I would like to share and to give you something to talk about by leaving comments…
As the clock in eastern time, Eastern Standard Time has ticked into midnight and the new day on 7th of January begins is the day of a birthday to the best mother in the world that I call mine! So, this blog post is dedicated to my mother and my best friend in the world. Happy 56th Birthday, mom! Happy 56th Birthday, Mom There is nothing better out there on this universe than having you as my mother which I am very blessed to have you as my mother. I wouldn’t know what to do if this universe didn’t have you, without you, I would be a complete loss and unhappy. You being here on this earth brings nothing but happiness and love that I absorb every day and every night. I am very thankful for everything that you have done for me, there is only one thing that is priceless and the most valuable to me is to have your love which is the very reason that I am motivated to live for. You are the very best mother that I have ever come across, only that a mother I am very blessed to have and nothing that makes me happier than to call you my mother. With me and you together on this earth as a mother and…

I will try to write a blog post about my Christmas and what I have gotten in a few days but for the time being I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Truly yours,Joshua “Joshie” Sullivan.
No long time see here, I know I haven’t written a blog post in a very long time, specifically about 2 and half months to three months as the last time I have made a blog post were in April. I know I made a blog post last week but that doesn’t really count it because that was only a very short blog post to inform you all that I was sorry for not being able to write anything for that long due to health reasons and I am still dealing with that but I felt that where I have not written anything for that long that I should do something about it so I am doing something about it here. As for my health issues, I still won’t share any details because it is private matters but I can say that it is something to stop me from writing and still is but I have an idea that I should just write a few sentences and whatnot then take a break so not to put too much pressure on myself. Nonetheless, there are a few or maybe a lot of things that I would like to share with all of you and I hope that all of you will enjoy the new snippets article that I am writing today…
No long time see! I know I haven’t written anything in several months, I apologize for that but for reasons that I haven’t been able to write anything is because I am dealing with health issues which I rather not to share details about it but I wanted to write this blog post to let you all know that I am still around and I am still adding notes to the list that I need to write about or share my opinion on. I am still dealing with the issues at hand, I will try to see if I can at least write something once in a while and not keeping you all in the dark for too long. I know several months are long time but I ask that you to bear with me, eventually I will have something done and I just need the time or have the energy to do so. As always, I am still active on social media such as Twitter because it allows a sweet and short post so not to consume too much of my energy which I barely have these days. Please do still subscribe to JoshiesWorld blog and be sure to follow me on social media. I thank you so much for your patience, they are greatly appreciated and I promise…
Google have decided to change their policy on their monetization system for YouTube, anyone who has less than 1,000 subscribers and less 4,000 views annually (both combined will be required) will be affected if they already are accepted in their monetization system for their YouTube channels. I must say that I disagree with this idea, because Google didn’t realize that there are many Deaf and Hard of Hearing people who uses YouTube has very hard time getting any subscribers because they use their native language in their videos which is American Sign Language so this greatly limits their audience in general. Even, myself I don’t have that much subscribers although I do have the views on my YouTube channel which has been registered since the year of 2008 or earlier I believe, and I am myself Deaf so therefore I only use my native language in my videos which is American Sign Language, so I can only reach to a very limited audience due to that. Deaf and Hard of Hearing YouTube users has hard time getting subscribers because most YouTube users uses different vocal languages while we only use visual languages, and this isn’t only American Sign Language but also many other country’s sign language such as British Sign Language (BSL) or Latino Sign Language (LSL), etc. I ask…
