A small step towards one of my life goals...

On Friday I received a call from my friend Lonnie who works for a nationally syndicated sports radio talk show in Los Angeles. He will be having his own segment on the World Baseball Classic as well as starting a website devoted to the International Tournament. He asked me if I would like to be one of the writers covering the tournament as he was searching for 4 people to help write columns and blogs. Despite having zero journalism skills nor did I take any classes in college, I enthuasistically accepted the role. He knew that I had no skills in the media or writing but stated that my baseball knowledge was so deep, it would have been foolish to not include me in the website.

The reason why I wrote that is one a dream is because I wanted to get into baseball in any shape or form. Even though I'm covering this brief tournament, it will provide me with the ability to share my thoughts opinions along with the objective findings such as stats so other people can see how I feel when I watch the game of baseball. Details to come soon in terms of the website and info, I have my assignment already which is due on Tuesday.

First Day of Spring Training Games!!!

Today marks one of the highlights of the year for me as the Giants and Indians start their first spring training games and coincidentally against each other. Despite the cheating that has been rampant for the past decade or so, I have learned to accept that steroids/HGH/PED's were a part of the game.





Oh, I'm definitely taking April 7th off which is a holiday for me because that is the first day of the regular season.

Back from LA, What a Dump!!!

Being in Southern California and THE OC for the weekend made me realize how much I love San Fran and the Bay AREA. Internal Affairs show itself was pretty fun. It was really cool to see Terror only play Lowest of the Lows from start to finish. Alpha and Omega really impressed me, stoked to check out more things from them.

The highlight of the trip was going to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles and gorging myself with what they are famous for. Sorry for the poor quality.

Road Trip to LA, food mission!!!

Heading out to LA tomorrow morning with Ania, Brent, and Jessica for Internal Affairs' final show. Going to see some old friends, say goodbye to a great straight edge band and get devulge in Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles!!! Tons of pictures to come :)

Donate Blood

Now that Valentines Day is one and done, let's continue to carry on our love for people by donating blood. It doesn't hurt, it's selfish, and most of all it provides the opportunity to saves lives. The minimum days between donating is 60 days and I been donating for the past 2 years. Aside from the free juice and cookies, it puts things into prospective that life is so fragile and if we have the change to better someone else, why not do it?

Donate to the American Red Cross

San Francisco Pillow Fight!!!

If you are in the Bay Area, there's no reason to miss this fun event!!

Love a Person not an Organ

That's what being in a relationship should be about. Love someone for who they are. Never take it for granted and never ever listen people who may sway you and convince you otherwise. In rough times like these, true love will be tested and can make or break relationships. Since Valentines is tomorrow, I see more and more people stressing and being excited about what their love ones have planned for them tomorrow. How about treating everyday like Valentines Day with your loved one? Maybe it's the morose side of me who doesn't have a Valentine this year (I couldnt care less at this point), but it really angers me to see people take advantage of others while in a relationship.

That being said, I'm going to San Francisco tomorrow evening with my good buddy Dave and we are getting Giordano sandwiches and hanging out at the bar having a good time.

I <3 Bowling

Went bowling tonite with Danny. Bowling is fun in small doses. I played 2 games and my wrist and fingers are completely messed up as a result. Also is there a more disgusting thing than bowling alleys? So many bowling balls and putting your fingers in them and your hands getting all greasy and gross.

Valentines Day is this Saturday, I will most likely be watching the NBA All Star events. Anyone wanna be my valentine???

Giants Fan Fest 2009

Went to the Giants Fan Fest 2009 with my Dad. Took some pictures in places people can't regularly visit but it was open to the Public.

Gambling and Life

Putting money down on the Superbowl was a terrible decision. After winning my MVP bet, I took the money and started betting on NBA games. Ironically, the NBA playoffs last year was the start of my heavy gambling as I won a lot of money in May and June. Here's to me focusing the next several months reading up on the NBA in order to make the best guesses on my bets.

I've been in a thinking mood the past couple of weeks reflecting on my life, where my current state of being is and my future. The only music which helped me out was



Rilo Kiley - Under the Blacklight. I recommend if you haven't listened to it, please give it a chance. Under the Blacklight is the one song for me that literally calms me down and makes me not think about any problems or issues that I have going right now.

Thank You Santonio Holmes

As the awesome WR from THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY, he made me a rich man as I picked him to become the Superbowl MVP. Now I can buy some Burberry jawn.
