Hello, World!
Welp, it’s official. My dad and I finally got it to work. I guess I’m a blogger now! Now, you MIGHT want to know what this site is about and what I’m going to be blogging about as well. So I’m going to (briefly) tell a little bit about myself and what I plan to use this blog for!
In case you couldn’t tell from the website‘s name, I’m Joshua Schmitz. I‘m a beginning high-schooler, proud theatre-kid, decent soccer player, HUGE bacon-craver, and avid book / comic reader. Oh, and also, I’m a HUGE Marvel and Star Wars nerd, so there’s bound to be many rants along the way. But, all that aside, I am, most of all, a Christian. I grew up a church kid, and haven’t left in my whole life (Nor do I plan to.) That being said, I have learned that writing (and life) in general isn’t all glitz and glamor, laptops and coffee mugs. It’s really much more challenging than that. Life can be tough. It can be hard. And it can REALLY suck at times. I should know. You have a fight with someone. You don’t get what you really wanted. Someone close to you moves away. But I guess one of the biggest comforts I’ve had in those dark moments is the knowledge that my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is still there with me, watching me and guiding me always.
Now, my job here is NOT to make you Christians. (Yes, I WAS singing I’ll Make a Man Out of You in my head as I typed that.) People have the freedom of choice, and I can’t take that away. Nobody can. I’m not trying to force you to believe in only what I also believe in. I’m just telling you a little bit about myself and how I’m like you. Sure, I don’t exactly KNOW who you are as I’m writing this, and we‘re bound to have differing opinions, but I mean that some of the things I have (and am) going through. And, if you ever need a buddy to help lift you up a little, I’m open. Whether you believe in Jesus or not, you can at least agree with me on this: Life is easier and better with company. We need each other when we’re in the good times of life and the really crummy ones as well. So I just wanted to get that out of the way.
Anyways, what should you expect to hear from me on here? Well, this is a general list of some of the topics I plan to blog about:
- Movie reviews / general thoughts (Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, etc.)
- Marvel & Star Wars breakdowns / rants
- Musicals!!! (Just musical theatre and film in general.)
- Life news / testimonials
- Previews of upcoming novels (Members only.)
And that’s it! That’s a little bit about me. I hope you stick around for at least SOME of my thoughts. Anyways, let the adventure begin!
