update

so lets see what have i been upto this past month.. well the month started out with my totaling my subaru in a 1 car accident that i bounced off of a set of guardrails knocking my bumper clean off the car and destroying my headlight and ruining the engine and yeah it was a total loss.. so went through the headache of dealing with the insurance company and the bank where my loan was kept and finally have the debt paid off .
 SO the question then was now what do i drive so my parents made the decision to buy a new car and so we bought a new 2009 toyota matrix and so far i love the car it doesn't the greatest gas mileage but it gets me from a-b.
  Whatelse.. I have decided to once again take the NHBUA Baseball Umpiring Development classes which i took about 4 years ago.. hopefully this time I can actually focus and pass my two test the field test not soo concerned about but the written one more concerned about.
 But i have talked with a couple of my friends about getting some help going over the rule book and studying so that when I do sit for the written test in june i will be as prepared as i can be i mean it is multiple choice but still not always that good at taking  the tests. I mean i just 2nd guess myself with being unsure about questions and such even though i know most of the material just i don't always trust myself.
 SO thats what really been going on I haven't had a lot of filming oppertunites to speak of but oh well starting next weekend every sunday I will have my classes for 4 hours so we shall see.
 oh yea so I finally have moved on with my life and have actually gone out on a couple of dates though none of them have really paid off much i mean i have made a new friend and all but yet i have also begun talking to a wonderful young woman whose name i will keep for myself sorry  readers to disapoint but can't reveal that info quite yet but she is sweet, sexy, smart, makes me feel great and alive which is something I haven't felt in soo long that i am really unsure what to make of it but i love the feeling but it is something that i am happy i am once again feeling and i am glad that it is this young woman that has brought it out of me.

I just can't wait for spring to be here and to be umpiring again and to be earning some money and to just be able to get out and watch the sox with some friends get a beer and just relax i mean this past year hasn't been the easiest for me and i am really looking forward to i dont know something good happening I guess I mean everytime i start to get my life started in a direction something goes wrong and it knocks me back a couple of steps but thats life i mean right?? as the rolling stones sang you can't always get what you want so just gotta stay with it and eventually things will start to turn my way!

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...

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, "

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...
