So this is it, the turning page anew for everybody of us for the new year of 2016 and with the hope in us that the new year 2016 will be better than the last year that we were in. Did any of you had fun celebrating the new year at the midnight last night when the calendar officially turns to the year of 2016 with the ball dropping on live television? I as for one did with the only person which is my mother and that is all I need with me for when the chapter turned anew with some blank pages that is waiting to be written of what we will be doing on the year of 2016. I don’t know about some of you but I think that the year of 2015 which is now last year have went somewhat fast, as the clock hits midnight at 12 o’clock got me to realize that the time have really flew by and I barely could catch up with it but it is here so nothing I can do about it except to try to make the better out of the new year 2016 than I could in the year 2015. Last night when we were watching the live television waiting for the clock to hit midnight with the ball being dropped, we celebrated with some foods such as my mother’s delicious homemade pizza rolls, meatballs, mini wrapped up hotdogs, chips with dips, some shrimps and a couple of others with the drinks of our choice which mine were Monster Energy because it’s my drink on regularly basis and my mother’s were diet Pepsi which both of them were in the glasses.
When we were getting ready to celebrate the new year with live television, we both were actually in rush to try to make it in time for the countdown on live television because where I was trying to set up my GoPro Hero4 Black edition camera that I gotten for Christmas last year (not this Christmas) along with trying to prepping for some foods and drinks but thankfully we both were able to make it in time for just few seconds of countdown which it was somewhere in the 30s seconds.
For two decades every new year I would be the one who shouts the countdown from live television on a television channel like ABC I believe and when the clock hits the midnight 12 o’clock I would shout as loud as I possibly could saying “Happy New Year!”. When I was done with shouting the countdown to the 12 o’clock, we starts eating and celebrate with few minutes of chat with each others which I enjoyed and then an hour later I get back to the business of doing my usual like either watching television myself or getting on the computer surfing around to see some of news that may interests me depending on the wordings that the news outlet editors wrote in the headline for their articles. That being said, I would love to know what all of you did last night for your celebration on the new year 2016?! Did any of you had fun waiting for the clock to hit the 12 o’clock and your calendars turns into 2016 from 2015?! Drank some alcohol? We didn’t drink any alcohol, I don’t drink alcohol anymore since over five years ago.
My favorite cousin Donnie came visiting me today for the new year which that means a lot to me being that Donnie is my favorite cousin out of all ever since I was born. I had a great time with him for about five hours today on the new year, made a plan with him that we both will be going to ride four wheelers together in the coming spring up at Buffalo Trail which is one trails of Hatfield & McCoy Trails system and possibly one over in Martin County where he lives at. Nonetheless it was great seeing my cousin Donnie as I haven’t seen Donnie for several years, although it’s understandable that he may not be able to visit as often as I would like for him to because of his work and that he lives somewhat far away from here so one visits every now and then is enough for me!
2016 Resolution
For many decades the people have written up some new year’s resolution that they would like to do for the year of 2016 and I am wondering what is yours?! For me I honestly don’t have a lot of things for the new year 2016 resolution as I barely do for few years resolution ago because half of the things that I wrote down for the new year’s resolution was never met but if you are interested in what is my resolution for this new year 2016 then here it is the list.
- Lose 20 pounds. (I lost over 60 pounds a couple of years ago but gained almost 30 lbs back which is half, I was 93 I believe so I want to be back in that position I was almost a couple of years ago except about a solid 100 lbs and be locked with that weight.
- Have a girlfriend.
- Get about 500,000 to a million of views for JoshiesWorld.
- Becomes more active in blogging.
- Develop a couple of new websites with the ideas that I have for each which I am not telling what two websites I would like to develop because I don’t want to have my ideas stolen. 😛
- Bring more in revenues from websites and blogs that I own including here JoshiesWorld.com.
- Pay for advertising spots on social media for JoshiesWorld.com such as Facebook, Twitter and Google to grow JoshiesWorld.
- Improve my financial security.
- To travel and or to go four wheeling on my ATV more.
- Recruit more riders for the club I founded which is Appalachian Crawlers Club to have more members for the group riding in the areas like Hatfield & McCoy Trails System; Buffalo Trail in Williamson, Wv, Rock House in Man, Wv and the others that is not part of Hatfield & McCoy Trails System such as Ballfork Trail in Blackberry, Ky.
- Attends more local events or to go somewhere more in my area I lives in.
- To renovate my bedroom with few new furniture and turn it into smart home system in the house as well.
- To smoke less although I doubt that will happen.
- To spend a little bit more time with my mother such as going somewhere together (restaurant, some events like concerts and others).
Okay I obviously lied to both of us by saying that my new year 2016 would be small and I now realized that I had a lot more of things I want to get done or to meet the year of 2016. I was writing as I was thinking then by the time I get to where I couldn’t think of anything more and realized that I wrote more for the new year 2016 resolution list than I expected. After reread my own new year 2016 resolution list that I just wrote above, I feel that I probably will not be able to meet every one of things that I wrote in the list but it’s going to be a bit of challenge for me to meet most if not all of them and next year in 2017 we will see if I meet most if not all of them when I write another blog post in 2017 with the answers on what I met or what I couldn’t accomplish so it is going to be a bit fun. 🙂
Christmas Presents
In last two or three articles that I wrote, if I recall I mentioned that I will be sharing what I gotten for Christmas for some of these people who is nosy out there and I say that in a good way. 😀 Now that I am going to share the list of things I got for Christmas, like many of you I would love to hear what you have gotten for Christmas this year from Santa Clause and I know Santa Clause is not real but children’s the Santa Clause is real. In the list below I am sharing with you guys that I got for Christmas will have links to the products at Amazon so you can get better idea of what they are in case if you don’t know what they are and for in case if some of you are interested in getting what I got for Christmas.

I believe that is all the presents that I have received for Christmas this year and I love every one of them. As for the money that I received from my uncles and grandparent is going towards to Thule Gauntlet 3.0 Attache (LINK) which is bag and case combined for my new Macbook Pro laptop along with accessories such as KB Clear Ice Covers (LINK) for my Macbook to protect the keyboard while in use. I am shopping for palm guards for the Macbook Pro but having a bit problem in finding which one I should get because most of them have the negative feedback which that scares me such as Moshi brand (LINK) which is highly recommended by leading technology websites or blogs along with saying that it’s for the older Macbook Pro since mine is obviously new generation which is 2015 Macbook Pro generation so I will have to investigate around for more information or recommendation on which palm guard brands for 2015 15” Macbook Pro with retina I should order. So if any of you who are true geeks like myself knows which brand and where I should get for my Macbook Pro laptop please let me know by leaving a comment below or contact me through contact page which can be found at the top of this website under the Contact Tab or you can click here to contact me.
I thank you mom so much for getting me these presents for Christmas but I said repeatedly that you did not have to get me anything for Christmas. But you did anyway and I thank you for these awesome presents though.
Now you all, it is your turn to share with me on what you get for Christmas!
Happy New Year 2016!
I wish every one of you a very happy new year of 2016 and I hope that all of you have a better year this year than you had last year as the chapter turned anew for all of you. It is all up to you all for what your new 2016 chapter to be written by you as it is in your control of how you want this year to be turns out for all of you. As yesterday I wrote a blog post wishing all of you a happy new year eve, I asked every one of you to be safe and be cautious if any of you must go somewhere down on the road. Don’t stop being cautious yet because they will repeat what they did yesterday for the new year eve such as driving while drunk which I am sure that it will happen again tonight because everybody celebrate the new year eve and new year the same so for all of your safety please be cautious for another night then after tonight the things should be getting back to normal. I don’t want anything or anybody to put my readers in way of harm especially when my readers and everybody else celebrates for the new year doing whatever it is that all of them do in their own traditions which some of them involves heavily drinking alcohol. So please only go anywhere if you must or in case of emergency and celebrate new year safely without putting anybody in the way of harm which that can quickly ruins their celebrations for the new year or something that nobody will want to remember by for the new year to be harmed.
Thank you everybody for some of your new year eve and new year wishes. I appreciate them as always and there is nothing more than I want for all of you is to have a great, fun but safe for the new year. In my new year eve article I wrote yesterday where I suggest that all of you to thank the police officers who do DUI checks in the middle of roads or at the stop lights in your areas for making sure that all of you are safe because they could be at home spending their time with their family to celebrate the new year but instead they are ordered to do DUI checks to ensure everybody’s safety on both new year eve and new year so that everybody can celebrate without being in the way of harm! Again I hope all of you have a great new year and I hope that all of you to be safe too.
