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.

looking back on a year gone past

So lets see whats been up with me .. well as another holiday season draws closer to an end, I am looking back on the year that was. It started out with me loosing a job coincidentally on new years eve day of 2009 and then a month later I began working as free lance videographer which I still do to this very day. In April I resumed my umpiring for a 7th year in a row and also had a wonderful and exciting trip to visit my sister in new york city. I continued umpiring till mid july when I was part of my first theatrical production in over a year. I loved being part of the cast of 42nd St and also while doing that became part of another cast, this one for Barber of Seville. Both shows brought a new widening of my horizons and brought new friends and oppertunities into my life In October I had my 26th birthday and it was another wonderful time.. In November I took myself to see my first concert in over 5 years when Rockapella came to town. I also celebrated the one year anniversary of ...

Why Kevin Youkillis is the perfect blueprint for how Red Sox should handle Rafael Devers

photo credit: Cincinnati Enquier^.com Kevin Youkilis over 8.5 years with the Red Sox provided grit, determination, ^ a power-bat. Yet it was his defensive versatility that let the Red Sox get better. When the Red Sox drafted Kevin Youkilis out of the University of Cincinnati where he put together a .410/.549/.714/1.263 offensive stat line. Yet it was the fact that Youkilis also led the nation with 59 walks compared to just striking out just 21 times, that attracted then-GM Theo Epstein to draft the young third baseman in the 8th round of the 2001 draft. Youkilis would spend three seasons in the minors before reaching the M ajors during the 2004 season, where he would play a minor role that season during the team's championship run, appearing in 72 games that year , hitting .260 with 7 home-^runs driving in 35. Yet between 2007 and 2011 is when Youkilis would truly prove to be one of the best players in the game.  Over that five years, Youkilis would average 1...

Soo as we start the beginning of week #3 I have come to the realization that as much as I want to be like all the other guys who are here umpiring, I need to be able to listen to my body and adjust certain things to make it possible to actually umpire correctly.  My knee is still in one place the swelling has continued to go down but the soreness is still there. Hopefully by Tuesday or Wednesday I can slowly start ramping it up again and won't have lost too much time.
