Who is this guy?
Josiah Black (a.k.a. Captain Obvious, your guide today) is not your typical young adult. His myriad of accomplishments achieved at such a young age speak for themselves. In addition to having visited OVER 10 of the 50 states and and 2 of 195 countries he has won several essay and speech contests nationwide. His intimate knowledge of sports and their statistics is coveted by many and possessed by few. He is an up and coming back yard athlete and currently has two fans… one on the ceiling and another one mounted on the wall.
Still not impressed? His experience with a big family has given him hundreds of opportunities to become a relationship guru each and every day… (a skill he has yet to perfect but that’s beside the point). He has suffered from a poignantly overdeveloped sense of humor the span of his entire life and throughout the recent years this young man has resolved to spread his affliction to the rest of mankind; that they may experience that with which he must live through everyday. But I digress.
Ladies and gentleman… it’s time for (drum roll please).
~M.O.T.~ (this stands for Moment of Truth by the way… and a note for future reference: Josiah loves acronyms. They will always appear with the Tilde symbols surrounding to denote its distinction. He will keep you updated and perhaps even start a glossary for those of you sharing his less than average memories ;D So… getting back to the Moment of Truth)
As the brightest among you have surmised… I myself have been writing this whole time. Alas, ’tis true (for those of you feeling extraordinarily inferior due to your in-observance of this fact, I will be holding Dupe Therapy Sessions bi-monthly, RSVP to attend).
As we reach the conclusion of this section (the place where I get tired of thinking) let’s get off the subject of me for a minute. Who REALLY wants to know about the author in the “Get To Know The Author” section? What you’re really looking for is something to educate, entertain and envelop you. Something you can look to as a comedic north star, an oasis of comic relief in a desert of dry puns. My hope is that your mission terminates here…that your quest ends at this point… that you join me randomly for another episode of… Devastating The Obvious.

Captain Obvious
Haha… knowing you this is even funnier. Way to go. I look forward to seeing your posts once you really get goin with this thing
It should be a blast. Just keep checkin in! And feel free to link me to yall’s blogs in exchange for a link. I think promoting each other is important. Lets blog people!
Holla!
Good stuff! We seem to share the same odd sense of humor.
Thanks! I’m not alone! Haha… nah if EVERYONE was that awesome we’d have no audience to applaud you know?
Will you be my blog buddy? (:
Sure why not? How exactly do you propose to go about that?
Well, pretty much we both put each other on our blog roll. And we also share opinions and constructive criticism once in a while. Sounds good, yes?
Sounds like a plan. Putting you on mine in 3, 2, 1…
Awee I was asleep when you did it! Thank you and I’ll put you on mine in a sec! And by the way, my name is spelled DEEN, not DEAN. (:
Love the sense of humor, and style…will visit regularly. I truly appreciate skewed perspective, and that seems your forte…great start, keep it up!
Thanks J. I appreciate the encouragement. If your looking for humor, style and skewed perspective you’ve absolutely come to the right place!
Also @Sarah. Sorry bout the oversight. Changing forthwith
Thank youuuu! (:
Hey you are very welcome, I love your sensor humour, it’s much like mine
Look forward to read yours too.
P.S
I really loved the Facebook post!
Keep up the good work
Thank you. That means a lot coming from an accomplished writer such as yourself. I enjoy making people laugh but I always hold to the principle it’s your ability to take a joke, not to make one, that proves your sense of humor
P.S. Will do!
Funny stuff. I don’t follow many but you made the short list.
Thanks! I wont dissapointcha!
Alright Josiah … I’m hooked. Your wit & humor had me literally laughing out loud ( for lack of better words) at my desk just moments ago, probably reaffirming my staff’s thoughts that I have indeed officially “lost” my marbles. I just signed up to have your ramblings delivered to my inbox so you’re stuck with me as a reader…hope ya don’t mind
Happy to your day!
I’ve never been called a hooker but in this case I’ll take it as a compliment ;D Mind?! I’m ecstatic! Happy to brighten your day and plan on many more such escapades. Alvedazane!
Well, I’m not one to throw names or compliments around lightly, so sure… a compliment indeed it is!
Until next time…
Added ya to my blogroll sir… You made the cut!
De plus Mademoiselle
likewise.
This is some good stuff. I came here via way of Botut Blog and after reading (and laughing out loud), “…Something you can look to as a comedic north star, an oasis of comic relief in a desert of dry puns. My hope is that your mission terminates here….” I decided I will be back! Keep it up.
Gracias baby
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a LIKE for Captain America, I know he appreciated it as much as I do. I enjoyed visiting your blog and glad to know you almost always give reprint permission. I love your stick figure sign and the Vegetarian poem. Look forward to more amusing observations from you.
It’s the least I can do for a fellow Captain PBenJay
You are a complete nut. Totally relate to that.
Haha thanks MJ. You’re fast becoming one of my favorite people on here as well
Thanks for coming by my blog, look forward to reading your posts!

Hey Josiah!
Thanks for the nomination and congrats on yours!
I posted on my blog about “The 23rd Facebook” (with your permission) and wanted to share it with you. I hope you get some more traffic to you blog from my readers! I’ve been meaning to post comments on a few of your recent postings (particularly your wonderful handling of the discrepancies arising from “Welcome to the Monkey House.”) It’s hard to believe how much insight you have for a “young adult.” Perhaps you are an old soul? I truly enjoy your outlook and observations on life!
See my posting about you here:

Thanks so much Cindy
I looked at your blog, 240 somethin thousand hits. Wow… way to go! Thanks a lot for the publicity and encouragement. I will get to posting for which I am wanted soon.
Josiah,
Forgive me for the comparison, but I’ve come to the realization that you (young adult) might be a younger, cooler, taller, skinnier, male version of me.
I look forward to your postings!
Thank you for the compliment Cindy

Hey there Captain Obvious I just nominated you for a Liebster Blog Award. I really enjoy your sometimes bizarre choice of subject matter. The age gap closes in the blogasphere. http://pbenjay.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/wowie-zowie-look-at-me/
