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...
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...
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...
