It's official (pending paperwork): I'll be the Assistant Coach of the Roosevelt HS JVC Baseball team! Coach Nelsen will be the head coach; it's also his first year coaching baseball, but had a successful football season with his freshmen kids who seem to like him very much. Tryouts start on the 24th of February, and games start 2-3 weeks after that, so we have a lot to get done in a short period of time, especially because we have a huge turnout of freshmen this year. Everyone at the various athletic meetings is excited about this crop of athletic freshmen who have already contributed at the football level (8-1 record, best in 10 years) and wrestling level (beating local rival Ballard and getting many invites to regionals for the kids).

I'll keep this short and simple. The candidate I would most likely support is Ron Paul, that is to say, if I was going to vote. Which I probably won't, because anyone who passed third grade math could tell you it makes no difference whether or not you vote. Blah blah only voters get to complain, etc etc, yeah I said that shit when I was a deluded idiot Green Party wannabe in 8th grade.

I decided to finally make the About Me page active on my weblog, so you can see the short writeup I have about myself there. I plan on taking more pictures as the weather gets better so I can hopefully start an album page as well.

I started working out at a training facility in Woodinville (25 minutes north) called the American Baseball Institute. The pitching coach's name is Neiman Nix, a Mike Marshall-type instructor. For those of you who are unaware of Marshall's teachings, he is a controversial ex-MLB player (Cy Young - 1974) turned pitching coach who has come up with a new type of delivery that he says will eliminate all arm-based injuries in pitchers. To achieve this goal, his pitchers train with 10-20 lb. wrist weights on their arms while going through various exercises, and throw 6-10 lb. iron balls as a form of overload training.

I received a bunch of excellent gifts, including one of the best cards I've ever gotten from my youngest brother, Kevin. (It's an inside joke; not worth sharing.) The two big ticket items were an Asus nVidia 8800GT video card (Call of Duty 4 at 1920x1200 @ 32 fps, hallelujah!) and a Kenneth Cole kinetic watch that is square with all the inner parts showing (can't find a picture of it). It's really great, and not something I'd normally pick out for myself. Trida did a great job!

...but it's time to go home now. Much food was eaten (gained about 5 pounds or so), much beer was imbibed, and a lot of good times were had.
