Things to Look Forward to
- Baseball game and party next week with Eurotrash, Anacardo, Brighten, Chelsea, and others. Perhaps they will watch me pitch a good game! Who knows.
- Getting into better shape. I have been working out quite a bit and have the urge to hit the batting cages as much as possible, unfortunately I have few partners who are willing to do as much as me.
- Getting a tan. Slowly, but surely.
- Moving into a townhouse after I am married so I can then build a batting cage in the basement. Oh yeah.
I have a few job/consulting interviews this week and my father-in-law-to-be is going to spread the word as well. I’d like a little stability in my life while I do my other work in the evenings, because without high school baseball taking up my time, I basically don’t do much all day. I also don’t spend time in the local casinos anymore for reasons that I cannot elaborate on, but that’s something for the work filter.
Anyway, just rambling. Time to sleep.
It’s Official!
Paul Nyman has decreed that I know nothing about pitching mechanics. I knew this day would come, but so soon? I can hardly withhold my joy.
Life Update.
I started working out again and actually paying attention to what I eat. I’m keeping that blog over at Baseball Delusions if anyone cares. It basically involves me going to the local tennis courts and throwing baseballs into a net in an unorthodox motion every night. Yeah, I get my fair share of weird looks.
Tomorrow I’m getting a much-needed haircut.
RHS Freshmen baseball is coming to a close. I’m happy that I worked with them and plan to do it again next year with Coach Nelsen, since we like working with each other and we’re close in age (I’ll be 25 in a few months; Matt is 30). I’ll be coaching at least one individual player over the summer and I’m trying to pick up others for side cash and to pad my resume.
Speaking of resumes, I’ve been applying for day jobs in the field of Business Analysis and going through recruiters. I have a few pingbacks, including one from Google, so we’ll see what comes of that. The other work has been getting better as well, so people on that friends list can expect an update fairly soon.
Getting married in less than 3 months is pretty crazy, but we’ve gotten everything under control or on a schedule. Trida does great work; there’s no way I would be able to deal with the stress from that operation.
Driveline Mechanics continues to grow at a fast pace, and though I’ve taken some time off from promoting the site on various message boards, I’ve been busy adding content to the site. The last post I made there is a video of Arizona Diamondbacks’ pitching prospect Max Scherzer with a voiceover done by yours truly (clocks in around 15 minutes).
I just realized that I’ve been living alone for the past 6-7 months. It’s weird, to be quite honest, because I haven’t really put much thought into whether I liked it more when I had roommates. I think that I just miss the good times I had with Jason, Dave, Doug, and my college friends when we lived in that dump in Berea. Both Jason and I are getting married, so I guess it’s time to grow up and start acting like an adult. What a shame.
Just wanted to check in with y’all.
