SO a lil update..  I have a job interview on tuesday at a local borders bookstore as a possible "book seller/ cashier/sales associate" I am quite anxious about this interview because in all honesty I need this job. Not just for having a job but i need it so i can begin to get my life back on track. This past month has been one that I do not want to see continue. I have become more edgy and have snapped at my parents more frequently for lil things but it is I think because I am just frustrated. I left my previous job because I just didn't feel the work conditions were right for me. I didn't appreciate the rudeness of customers, the hectic paced atmosphere and the routine of every night counting the drawer and coming in the next morning finding out i was off (off by a lil bit .5 .10 .15 one day 50$ but still to think you have something down and to come in and find you were wrong just shoots that confidence down to hardly zero) 
 SO to get beyond the initial interview phase and to actually possibly get a job would be a great accomplishment. 
   IN other news i found out my ex girlfriend of just under three years is now engaged to be married. Now of course I am happy for her but yet I am still quite pissed at how everything ended.  We didn't have the most stable of relationships and in the end it took quite a nasty turn into a personal hell. I wont go into details in here but yet it stings a bit that she could accuse me of things that I never did and yet she turns right around and does the same fucking thing.. 
 But what has really come to the forefront is what does this say about me?  I haven't been able to go on a date in over 4 years since we originally started going out and now living back home it is really hard to impress women when a.) you live at home and b.) you don't have a job..
 Now I am working very hard on trying to get that job and I have been talking with a lot of my friends about how with getting a job it will start to help get my life back on track and being to achieve some of my personal goals of earning/saving money so eventually yes I am saying eventually not soon not in the future but eventually that I will get my degree i think that maybe by late 20's i will be able to achieve this.
 Another thing that has come up is how to plug that hole that has continued to slowly grow and grow. At first it was working out and i was doing that over 3x then 2x a week and i have lost over 30 pounds since moving home and working out.. the other thing that I was doing was volunteering at the obama campaign which over the past month I have not done alot of especially.. 
 I am not particularly sure why I stopped but I think that is something that will enable me to 1.) get out of the house and avoid doing chores like vaccuming and painting. 2.) meet and socialize with people of like minds and points of view that want to see a change in this world. 3.) meet new friends ( you can never have to many friends)
 
So I think I am gonna go back and do some volunteering and over the next week will do that continue to work out and hopefully improve past the initial interview stage. Oh and get my tattoo which I got a week ago retouched since a part of it is getting cut off or maybe just never was done very well who knows.. but I do know that i will as my tattoo says stay strong and continue to fight and survive because as i have told many of my friends when they are having a difficult time is " as long as your breathing... you will be okay!" thats true and it is a good motto to remember...

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...

What a LIFE

So let me think I haven't updated this since late november and quite a lot has happened.. I got myself a new kitten after the death of my 17 year old one and she is quite a handful but worth every second that I am with her.. her name is mitzvah or mitzy ( it means blessing in hebrew) but pretty much after bringing her home as part of my family my cat of 9 years quickly became sick and on december 6 after already been brought to the vet and told that he was just very sick and given a shot and to give him time to heal and recover I had to take him to an emergency vet. Sadly he didn't make it and died in my arms * the third cat in the past 4 months to die in my arms) SO yeah that was quite a shock..  So beside dealing with a lot of the pain and hurt from that I have been turning most of my attention towards work. I have worked at borders for just over a month and I love it! I LOVE the people the atmosphere everything.. and I don't really mind the hours I have had to wake up at...

A New Year, A New Me?

So with it now being 2021, My hope is that things will start to get better, ( like most everyone else). I have continued to struggle with some of the same issues, that I had in previous years, mostly my health (physical, mental/emotional being the main two.  A lot of the health issues are due to my diabetes, which this September will be 21 years that I was diagnosed.  It has been a roller coaster over these past two decades, but I am always doing my best to maintain as good “control” as I can. However, it continues to be a frustrating situation, especially when there is so much disconnect between doctor’s offices, pharmacies, and of course the biggest brick wall ever, the Insurance Company.   While I was living back in Vermont, I was truly lucky to have some of the best health care that was available to me at the time.  However, since moving to Florida, eight years ago this July, I have found that its a constant battle to be able to not only get my insulin covered, b...
