A New Year a New Beginning?

Well my old year ended quite miserably I lost my job on new years eve day after working my shift i was told by my manager that due to not having enough hours to go around management ( which he had only found out maybe a few hours before) was told to cut all people that were hired as temp workers which meant ME..  SO after working there for just over a month and a few weeks I lost my job and it really hurt.. I really loved it at borders the people the atmosphere everything I even got used to waking up at 4, 5 and 6 in the morning so I could be there to work and on a couple of occasions was there an hour before we even opened the store just sitting in the parking lot.
 SO what have i been doing since then.. I have been meeting with a few different agencies to help with not only finding a job but finding one that fits my abilities and is something that I would enjoy doing. However the person in charge of my case isn't really that in tuned with me and doesn't really understand where I am coming from or who I am so I have tried to set up a meeting with her and my old case manager to meet and discuss how to better go about this whole employment situation which is just driving me nuts quite litteraly.
 I have been offfered and have accepted a position with my high school baseball team heading their stats program and maybe can work this into a small paying gig nothing big since the program is on a shoestring budget but maybe something small just to get myself by.
 I have also applied for Social Security Disability which isn't much but since I do have a few i guess you could call them disabilities such as having club feet, anxiety and depression which as a combo cause for finding a good job fit and match very difficulty to do, this could help with some of the stress of the finances which are very difficult to deal with even with my parents offer which I have taken them on of helping me with some of the finances such as paying for my oil change and food and gas (on occasion) but still I don't like having to ask for help unless i really need to and right now I need all the help I can get.
 I haven't really gotten out of my house very much lately unless it is to run quick errands or go to the gym and it s really getting to me all I really want is to have friends to hang out with and get a bite with maybe even a drink but yet there isn't really anyone around that I can do that with and it is making my depression increase plus the anxiety of trying to find a job and balance my finances and everything else is making me a wreck.
 I just hope that once Obama takes office on Tuesday that the outlook might just start to look a lil brighter and that My personal outlook might look a little bit brighter as well.

Sooo an important thing I learned today,  which is to just to the best I can and not to let the instructors or anyone else get me down and discouraged about my abilities as an umpire.  I quickly realized once I got down here at school that I didn't posses the physical abilities to be a big league umpire, and thats okay because I am doing the best that I can, and in the end I am okay with that fact.   I mean I know I will never be on a big league field as an umpire but I am okay with being on high school fields and maybe one day if the challenge arrises  I can be on a college field, but I will never stop learning, trying, expanding my knowledge of the game, my love of the game or my passion for the game.

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, "

RIP TIGEY

So for those of you that read this I chose to put my cat of 17 years to sleep today. She had been getting weaker and weaker and two nights ago she lost control of her hind paws and has spend the past two days/nights just sleeping her breathing becoming more shallow but never fully stopping.  I went to work today at 6:30 and came home around 12:30 and like usual she looked up at me using all her strength that she still had gave me a lil tigey smile and purred to aknowledge that I was with her. So we left at 12:30 to go to the vet and usually tigey HATES cars and car rides but today she just laid in my lap and slept.. at around 1:00 the vet came in and administered the shot and she winced a lil bit but in about 10 seconds her heart had stopped and she was gone.  I can still recall many of the details of when I first met tigey i was playing super bases loaded in our other room when my dad called upstairs saying he had a surprise for me. I came downstairs was told to close my eyes and when...
