Well Work is going as well as can be expected I have I think finally figured out the best way to count down money after talking with one of my supervisors who gave me some pointers and some hints on how do it it seems to have worked which is reducing the amount of time that I have to spend inside the sometimes very crowded countdown room so from spending 30 minutes I have been able the past few times to count down my drawer in less than 15 minutes which is making me less stressed, my supervisors less aggrivated waiting for me to countdown.
   SO okay other than work nothing much has been going on been watchin the olympics and two nights ago I think was one of the most exciting events I have ever seen on tv.. the 4x100 individual mens relay had the closest finish of any race it was incredibly insane the US was a few arm lengths away at the beginning of the final push and then at the final 15 meeters the US just flew past the french and won by .8 one hundreths of a second.. it was crazy.
  Umm my visit with my sister was really good went out to lunch and talked and it was really nice to see her ( I avoided the family ritual torture of Scrabble) It isnt like i dont like spending time with my family but when it comes to scrabble i would rather avoid personally embarassing myself with my lack of vocabulary and spelling ability. 
 Well I have continued going to the health club and have lost about 17 pounds so I have since moving back home lost bout 20 pounds so that is very good with my semi annual diabetic checkup coming in a week. .
 thats all for now

Soo today was a very light day. Had no control games or innings, but did have some time out on the drill field to get back into the habit of doing routine plays to get back into the swing of full umpiring.  Sadly I also started to realize how cutthroat this business can be.  Soo due to my injuries I haven't fully been at full health, as well as my other physical issues, have made my career has an umpire not the easiest of things to do.  I usually often in pain from my legs to my back and I do my best to push through it to continue to work my game, and due to the pain I may not look at athletic or graceful as other guys out there on the field, but I do my best.    One of the guys that I have gotten to know here at school, told me that sadly there have been a few guys that have snickered and made fun of me behind my back. He told me, not to worry about that, that the situation had been taken care of and that I should just focus on my game. To hear that a guy t...

Soo as we finished up week # 4 and start towards the home stretch, I am amazed at how fast this experience has gone.  I have waited over 3 years for this experience and to be on the fields working and learning and gaining experience that hopefully I will be able to use in order to become a better umpire, then I was before I came here.  Also getting to know and meet the instructors has been amazing. To personally get to talk with and get to know this guys that I have watched for years on tv and to just see them and talk with them has been a great learning experience.  As the guys have hammered into us, "Don't leave this experience with any regrets." I am definitely not going to do that. Even with my knee injury, I never stopped I kept fighting and learning and busting my ass to get back on the field, and I can tell everyone that I will not have any regrets when I come home, I will have left everything out on the field and will have made each and everyone of you that has...

When I think of who I am or look at myself what do I see...I see a man who every day wakes up hoping that that today will be better then last. I see someone who has been through soo much pain and heart ache that I wonder How I keep staying soo postive I see A fighter someone who will will continue each and every day to try and make myself a better person I see someone who still has soo much potential that I have yet to reach. I see someone who is a friend, brother, son, Why is it that when I look at myself I think that I am a failure??? why is it that I see someone who no matter what I do I am never satisfied or I think that I am not living upto all this potential I am scared of possibly never reaching my full potential. I am scared that I will always feel like I have underachieved I am scared I will not be the person that people hope I will be.I think that the lyrics to the Weepies song " Can't Go Back Now" fits what I am feeling "Yesturday when you were young eve...
