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.

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, "

So, this weekend is definitely one that I am glad is coming to a close. Saturday I received a phone call from someone inviting me out for a drink and to go see a local theatre production. Well lets just say I shouldn't have left my warm comfy room. I was dooped the person who called never showed up and I was left standing in the cold waiting for an hour and half.. now you may wonder why I waited soo long.. well its because I always believe that you should give someone the benefit of the doubt, but yeah for 90 minutes I waited and wondered what happened, until I finally came home and was in a bad mood. SO today, drove to meet someone I had been talking with for about a week and thought that there was a definite connection with them only to when we did meet have her pull a 180 and be totally bored, and uninterested in being with me. This is seriously starting to get on my nerves, the fact that I am a good genuine nice guy and yet women for the most part seem to not want anything ...

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...
