Update

Okay so lets start at the beginning!! 
So I  found out in mid may that I would be unable to acquire the personal loan that I had been able to get just a year ago due to policy changes at the corperation. So I am taking this next year or maybe 2 off to save some money so I can get back and finish my education which I am a year away from completing.  So I packed up my apartment with my dad's help and moved back to my childhood home and room still looks, smells and feels the same even though I haven't fully lived here since I was 21 but it is nice to be home albeit my parents house but still it is nice.
  Work: I have been working the past month as a Baseball Umpire for prep and jr babe ruth games and have enjoyed being behind the plate again calling balls and strikes and of course hearing it from those crazy fans that just love to heckle me ( but that is part of the game isn't it??)  other than also been working at a local food coop as a a cashier which is quite enjoyable and rewarding that I am seeing people that I haven't seen for long periods of time including one person who I recognized from when I was 6 yes 6 years old... he was my karate teacher and a really great influence albeit a short on on my life at the time.
 I work there 4 days a week making 9.50 and hour and really enjoying it.
 So my plans for the rest of the summer.. work work work spend time with my best friend who is home from his 1 year grad school course and maybe if I luck comes my way begin to meet that new special someone in my life.. it has been over 15 months since I have become single again and I know that people say being single is great because you don't have the responsibilties or the headaches but yet I just miss the lil things of a relationship but oh well one day it will come again..
thats it for now..
thanks for listening

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...

A New Hall of Fame Class

As a young kid growing up I grew up on the heroes of the game, Ruth, Dimaggio, Mantle, Williams etc.  As I continued to grow up and watch the game of baseball grow and mature like I did, I was always excited to see what new legends were going to get to be immortalized into the Baseball Hall of Fame.   I've been lucky enough to visit the Hall of Fame on multiple occasions including as a kid with my dad, as a member of my high school baseball team on two occasions.   To now watch as more players that I grew up watching in the late 80's 90's and early 2000's it just reminds me of how wonderful this game truly and really is. I'll end this quick post with one of my favorite quotes from my favorite movie, Field of Dreams, "

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...
