Meeting Josh Blue

Elliot Felde July 15, 2026 2 Comments

A few years ago, my brother and his girlfriend surpised me by taking me to see Josh Blue in Sacramento. My brother got me into his car. My brother’s girlfriend told me we had a long drive ahead of us. We drove to Sacramento. I don’t have an idea why we were there. We went to Baja Fresh (a fast-food Mexican restaurant) and sat down. Suddenly, a person comes in, and my brother asks me Who’s that? It was Josh Blue. He walks over to where we were sitting. My brother introduces himself and tells him my name. I can’t talk because I’m very surprised. My brother says See you at your show. We go see his show. I died laughing during his show (he was much funnier in person than on YouTube.) After his show, we go over to where he’s sitting. I asked whether I knew you. I played a joke with Josh. I said You’ve been outpalsed (there’s a YouTube video explaining what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCYrwudqIQ0). My brother gets a DVD and a shirt. Josh Blue signed my shirt.

Have you heard of Josh Blue? If you have how did you hear about him? Have you ever seen his stand up routines?

My journey to supported living

Elliot Felde July 15, 2026 4 Comments

When I was in high school, an aide told me about supported living. Supported living is a service in which adults with special needs receive assistance to live on their own or with a roommate. I was interested in learning more about supported living, so the aide gave me contact info for a supported living supervisor. I started contacting her with many questions. I even went through the process of getting staff and looking at places where I could move to. However, my mom was very nervous about me moving out. She wanted me to be safe and I understand that. I didn’t end up moving out then.

My brother suggested I move in with him. I lived with him for about a year, and then he moved out, so his roommate wanted to assist me. He became very difficult to live with, so my brother set up supported living for me. The roommate and staff didn’t get along, so I ended up moving to a home with other people. I didn’t like it there at all. It was a care facility. It was hard for me to be independent. I finally moved in with a roommate through a supported living agency called Compass. (I recently posted about Compass Con, which you can see here https://elliotshares.com/blog/compass-con-recap/) I had a roommate who was nice. He talked a lot, and I ended up moving in with another roommate, who I currently live with.

What is your living situation like? Do you live by yourself, with roommates, or do you still live with your parents? Please feel free to leave a comment below, or you can contact me by visiting the Contact Me page (where you can email me if you want to contact me privately). I look forward to reading your comments.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: Showcase

Elliot Felde October 17, 2025 1 Comment

A few weeks ago, I posted about a game I play called Dreamlight Valley. On Oct. 15th, there was a showcase that showed off what’s coming to the game the rest of the year, as well as the first three updates of next year.

The next three to four updates coming to Dreamlight Valley are Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Pocahontas, and Hercules. The Cinderella update will be available Dec. 10th.

In November, we’ll be getting a new expansion called Wishblossom Ranch. In Wishblossom Ranch we’ll be getting a new way to explore and do things around our valley by being able to ride horses. We’ll be able to do everything on horseback that we can do on foot, such as gardening, mining, and digging. We’ll be able to fully customize horses. We’ll have a stable that will hold four horses. We’ll also be meeting three Disney horses that will have special abilities that we will be able to unlock. Wishblossom Ranch will be available on Nov. 19th

I don’t want to give too much away in case you want to watch the showcase for yourself. You can watch the showcase here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv92KKv9fGI if you are interested.

I’m very excited about Wishblossom Ranch and the ability to ride horseback, which will make it easier to explore and do things in our valley.

Are you familiar with Wishblossom Ranch? Would you like to learn more about it?
