Year

2014 will be in the history books and it was good year for me.  New chances, friends, and some trials and tribulations were a part of it.  2015 the best is yet to come.

Normal

Normal day at work with Aaron but didn't have help until after i left for the day.   Get paid tomorrow and looking forward to 2015.

Down Time

Took care of the laundry and got a few things done today so i don't have to worry about anything.   Glad i have today off and will have New Year's Day off.

Game Time

The Steelers won a big game and the division title is in the bag.   They will take on the Ravens in the AFC Wild Card game next Saturday night at Heinz Field at 8:30 P.M.

Big Day

I am happy about tomorrow night because i get to watch the Steelers game, but they need to win and get the division.   Easy day at work with the guys getting the tunnels before i left this evening.

Session On

I made some changes and the twitter page is back on line.  Things will definitely get better from here on out and into next year.

Jolly

It was a good Christmas with some good gifts and enjoyed the meal i had with Mom And Gary.  I take things a little to seriously, but have to learn not to be too hard on myself.

Joy

Just finished up from work an hour ago and very happy.   It was a no stress day because we have enough help outside to get the carts inside the store.

Off Day

There was a lot of help today and it was an easy day from noon until 6:00 P.M.   Tomorrow the store closes at 8:00 P.M.  I will be there until 8:30 P.M, and then enjoy the 25th off.

Busy Times

Aaron made his debut today and did a good job as well as getting some more help outside.  That will make things better for me and less pressure on me to do everything.   Things were busy today and the next two days will be the same.

Fun

Steelers won today and they are in the playoffs so there will some fun going into 2015.

Better Days

Lot of work is getting done for next year and things will get better.

Win

Long day for me but things will get better this weekend with getting good food.  I will be at Primanti's watching the Steelers win this Sunday.

Long Evening

 It was  a long day at work because i have did more carry outs then getting carts.  Then after work ate at Dairy Queen, went home, then got a shower,plus went to get some groceries. 

Pitt Changes

Not Yet

My Word Press blog is okay and did three blogs yesterday, but however no Twitter as of yet.

Worth It

Long day at work but ate at Steak and Shake may it all worth it.

Nourished

Tough day at work but was nourished by the fact i get to be with my pal at Steak and Shake tomorrow night.

Steelers Review

Pirates and Pitt Football

Next Week

Satisfied with the Steelers victory today but have to get ready for next week game vs the Chiefs.  Dan  and i will watch the game at Pritmanti's Brothers.

Reality

Steelers are taking on the Atlanta Falcons and they need this win today to keep the playoffs a reality.  Good day at work and hopefully things are getting better.

Future Shock

I took care of new blog but have to made some changes so i don't have to deal with some problems in the future.

Lucky

It going to take some hard work and some luck to get things done in 2015.

Coming Up

Looking forward for to this weekend big game for the Steelers and can't wait for 2015 to get started.  Great opportunities are coming my way

Onward

John picked me up and still looking around for me and all  my friends are try to help me but no luck as of yet. I have to be patient with everything going on.

Gifts

Long tough day at work but the rewards in the future will be worth it.   Got all of the gifts and they will be picked up tomorrow morning.

Happiness

I got gifts for my family and friends and checked the balance it is good.    Called mom and she received the card with a check for 100.00. I have no worries for this time of the year because everything is caught up and the rent will be done on the 18th.

No Worries

The Steelers won a big game over the Bengals and they are 8 and 5 with three games left.  Looking forward to next week's game against the Atlanta Falcons.  Talked to mom and everything is okay with her and can enjoy the holidays and not to worry.

Long Day

Steelers need to win tomorrow or there will be no playoffs for me.   I need to relax a bit because i try to hard to get things done.  Devin had to leave earlier because he was sick, and got some props for my work  despite being by myself for 4.5 hours.

Well

It was a cold and rainy day at work and one stockman got fired for arguing with a CSM.   The best part of the day was Gary called me and said that the surgery went well.  Mom went home and is resting well.

Busy Day

Went to the store to the grocery store, got a haircut, ate some pizza and an a blizzard.  Tomorrow is her surgery and i know she doesn't want me to worry.

Business

The weather was a lot better and had enough help to get through today.    I have a day off with pay and will take care of serious business.

Off Day

Weather was lousy today and hopefully things will brighten up later on in the week.  I have a day off on Thursday and we have a busy day.

Long Day

It was tough day at work because one stockman called off and we needed help outside.   Darren took me home and we talked about what happened today.

Wild Ride

Steelers played lousy against the Saints and they have to win next week.  Major changes are coming to me real soon, and get ready for a wild ride.

Hail

Steelers need to win a game over the Saints, and as for tonight the Penguins won as well as Pitt getting bowl eligible maybe against Penn State.

Pizza

There was pizza at work so i didn't have to bring my lunch today and have already talked to mom so i need not worry.

Thankful

Sometimes i get so frustrated that i don't get to say how thankful that i have a lot in life.

Shared

We got home at 8:30 P.M and ten minutes later we got our meal and it was delicious.  I am very grateful that Gary brought it over, and i shared my meal with  Dan.  

Feeding Time

It was another tough day but we have some new guy helping us out.  Took care of some business and can't wait to get our dinner tomorrow night.

Lucky One

Did a lot of work at her house and got a some pizza as a reward.   Also got some cash and took care of some business.  Will have to eat Wednesday night due to the schedule, and got a coupon for a free milk shake.

Dinner

Talked to mom and will be there tomorrow morning to help out and will have Thanksgiving dinner a day earlier due to Dan and I working on Thanksgiving.    Also she is getting ready for surgery on Dec 5th.

Up

The weather was a lot better and the lunch bag was in the lost and found.   I had to walk home because something came up.

Surfing

Ready to listen to the Pitt game vs Hawaii and could use without the terrible puns,  Marcus Bowman is doing the color for tonight and he will be great.

Better Days

Had a chance to talk to mom about my big bonus for work and i will get that on Dec 4th.  I truly hope that the surgery will help her get better.

Not Worried

I had the chance to talk to my mom and she told me that not to take any time off for her back surgery.  I am some what worried but i believe that things will be alright, and as for the holidays coming up that will wait until then.

Hard Times

As much as I am happy over the Steelers victory it is hard to be happy right now.  I found out that my mom is going to have back surgery on Dec 4th in a Indiana, PA hospital.  

Struggled

Happy with the Steelers win over the Titans 27-24 and it was a tough game.   LeGarrette Blount left the game before the end, and was mad that he didn't have any carries.  Don't be shocked if gets released during the bye week.

Racing

Watched the NASCAR race instead of NFL besides the main 4;00 P.M. game was a blowout between the Packers and Eagles.  Kevin Harvick won the tile with a win at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Forward

Good day at work with the helpe the lot was done in order.  Looking forward to the off day and Monday night for the Steelers game.

Upswing

It was a tough day because there was only two stockmen available.  The weather was cold again, but warm news brighten me.    Penguins and Pitt hoops won big tonight and thing could be on the upswing.

Soft

Another cold day at work but a good friend gave me advice while she is going forward with her career.  One of the managers at work is expecting her second child and i gave her a stuffed animal for the baby to hold.  She appreciated it and i said that i am getting soft at my age.

Break

Today was a lot colder and busier, plus talked to Bob and nothing is happening as of yet.  I may have to wait until after the first of 2015 for my big break.

Access

Did a couple Youtube videos last night and might do another one tomorrow about what is happening at CALU.

Typical

Typical Monday except i have today off, and down about the Steelers loss. I have already have taken care of business and most was done early so there will be no distractions.

Unlucky

The Steelers stunk out the joint losing to the Jets 20 to 13.  Next week is very important against Tennessee because they have to go into the bye week with a win.

Clearing

Good day at work the weather will be good for the next few days, but it will be colder later on in the week.

Long Day

Paid two bills, took care of saving account, and did some grocery shopping.  Work was tough because there were a lot of customers because it was Friday.

Fun Day

I really enjoyed the trip to the Pro Football and Dan took a lot of pictures and can't wait to see them  on Facebook.

Trip

Tomorrow is the big trip to the Pro Football Hall of Fame so i have to up early and be ready for it.  I hope it is great time for both of us.

Big Day

Grinding day at work but had a lot of help to get the lot in good shape.  Going to Steak N Shake tomorrow night after work and then get plenty of rest for the big day on Thursday.

Love for CALU

I had to write a blog about California University of PA football team and their off the field problems.  I have great love for the university, but when i found out that 27 players were sited or arrested for all sorts of transgressions it is an embarrassing.  I hope that the university changes on what type of player they recruit because of 6 players beat up and stomped on a person.  That person is dealing with a serious brain injury, and the team cancelled and forfeit the game to Gannon last Saturday afternoon.  They are playing Mercyhurst this Saturday afternoon and may have their playoff chances ruined by this incident.  I feel bad that the people who had nothing with this like the players who did things by the rules. Plus the people who work the concession stands, cheerleaders, pep band, groundskeepers, ticket takers, and who cover the game for the student radio and television station.  I will always have love for the university because i did some on air work for the WVCS and covered a high school game on CUTV.  I have my degree and met my pal Randy there will always be love for CALU.

Cleaning Up

The Steelers took it to the Ravens 43 to 23 with Ben Roethlisberger throwing for six touchdowns this evening. I am very happy about a 3 game winning streak and now with two easy teams playing before the bye.  Work was tough because the guys has CBLs done so we needed a little help.

Time

I have already made the switch from daylight saving time back to regular time.  Having pizza with Dan after work and hoping for a Steelers win.

Upcoming

It was a rainy day and i was dressed for it.  It was a normally busy Friday afternoon and evening due to the fact that people get their checks today because the Saturday is the first of the month.   Dan and I figured out how much money we need to go on our trip to Canton, Ohio this coming Thursday,  

Homecoming

Lebron James homecoming was a bad night as the Cavaliers was defeated by the NY Knicks.  Marc-Andre Fleury had a shutout win over the LA Kings 3-0.

Madison

The World Series ended with a great game seven with the Giants winning over the Royals 3-2.   Madison Bumgarner pitched 5 innings in relief and was named the MVP.

Learning Tree

Saw the Royals defeat the Giants 10-0 and there will be a game seven.    The Penguins routed the Devils 8-3, plus watched some cool tv.  Watched  ESPN' Face to Face special hosted by Hannah Storm featuring NFL players.  I have been watching We Need to Talk on CBS Sports Network about the latest sports issues hosted by rotating female hosts.

Time Off

Glad that I have tomorrow off and get to watch the Steelers game and World Series game 6.   Improved some thing on Linkedin and listening to Doug Stewart show.  He was talking about Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

Watching

The Steelers won big over the Indianapolis Colts and glad that Dan DVR the Game.   Looking forward to watching it.

Good

Work was okay today and found out no one quit so that is good for us.

Tech

The Giants had a great game and tied the World Series at two game apiece.  Pitt has a tough game and lost to Georgia Tech by four touchdowns.

Situation

Got paid and went to the store to get groceries and as for the work it was an okay day,  One of our stockmen quit on us and we had a struggle to stay on top of the situation.

Time

Randy can't go with us to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on November 6th.  That stinks for us but we will still have a great time.

Game Time

Game one of the World Series went to the San Francisco Giants in a 7 to 1 over the Kansas City Royals.  On Monday night Dan and I enjoyed the Steelers win over the Houston Texans 30 to 24 and it was close game at the end.

New Blog

Working on new sports blog because of toolbar going down it is called rlaytonsports1.  I have done several blog already.

Win

Looking forward to tomorrow night's game vs Texans and hoping for a win.

Prince of the Universe

Everything in life has a beginning and an end, but it is not the end of my life.    I am starting over and no I am not quitting work.    It is time to reinvent myself and become the person I am meant to be.   It will not be easy so I am asking everyone for help, love and support because I need it.

Cleaned Up

Pirates came up short against the Brewers 1-0 and Andrew McCutchen was hit twice by Matt Garza who was ejected.    He was complaining about the Pirates TV crew talking about it.   Good day at work there a lot carts that were picked up.

Successes

The Pirates had a rough night against the Braves, but they could be close to the Cardinals.   I got a few things from my mom and they are newspapers and a magazine honoring my cousin successes.

Road

Have to help Dan out on Monday night because he is low on money.  He will help me out down the road.

Seven

The Giants will take on the Royals in the World Series after winning on a walk off home run in the 9th.  It is going to be an exciting World Series and it could go seven games.

Deal

This week was an usual one for me with my apps not working but sleeping on Tuesday morning.   Sometimes life is goofy and defy description, but it is how you deal with it is important.

Tuned

I am reworking my toolbar and making big changes on my computer.   In my life other big changes are ahead. Stay Tuned

Patience

I have some problems with my toolbar so I have been on social media.  This is a temporary situation.

High Stakes

Rain out of the ALCS game 3 and things are definitely boring.    I hope that tomorrow is pretty good because today is okay.     Talked to Bob I am not going to get fired for the accident.   Talked to Darryl and I am not changing my schedule for anything.

Long Year

Steelers got beat today by the Browns and things better get fixed or it will be a long year.

Off Day

Saturday are always long day for me because I eat at Subway's before work, my regular lunch and then eat at drive-thru after I am done.        Sometimes it is a long day because I start in the daytime and end at night.    It was a good day and glad that I have tomorrow off.

Snack

 I went to the store on Friday and took care of the business around 2:00 P.M.  Dan had to take a nap after work and his relatives stop by.  When didn't go to eat out but stop at a Dairy Queen for a blizzard.

Focus

Thursday was payday and took care all of the business.  I am not worried about next week because I have a feeling things are going to aright.

Dinner

Did a lot of work yesterday and got some pizza to celebrate another good week.  Gary brought over spaghetti and meatballs, plus garlic bread for tomorrow's night dinner.

Cleaning

Took care of the laundry and cleaned up around the apartment.   Didn't have to worry about too much today since things got done.  Talked to my mom and will talk to her on Monday after I talk to Bob.

Future

Today I have to go to Med Express to take a drug test because of an accident that happened on Sunday.  I am not worried about but can't use the cart pusher until further  notice.  I am contemplating working somewhere else, but will wait to see what will happen after I talk to Bob next week.

Working

Sometimes I am reminded that I no matter what happens at work that where it has to stay at.  I can't bring what happens home with me.   Steelers won a tough game but forget to set it on the DVR.

Waiting

The day was a lot cooler and somewhat rainy.   It was good day and the first with dealing with new uniform rules.   Pitt lost again and now has to wait 10 days to take one Virginia Tech.

Taking Stock

Great day of watching the baseball playoffs and wished the Pirates would still in it.    Today, I had a chance to do a lot of thinking and realized that I have to make  some changes in my life.    Sometimes I feel that my work schedule is a hindrance to what I want to do.

Happiness

Took care of my laundry and got new shirts that I have to wear to work because of the new dress code.   While Pirates are crying the blues my former co worker Will is crying tears of happiness because he is a new dad. 

Lousy

Buctober was short because the Giants took to them tonight to an 8-0 loss.  I am down right but this was a great season.   I hope this is not the end but the beginning a great 2015.

Perspective

I had a chance to watch a new show called We Need to Talk and it gave a new perspective a sports topics.   Great day at work and can't wait until tomorrow night.

Boring

Looking forward to Wednesday night when the Pirates take on the Giants and if they don't win it is going to a long boring winter unless the Steelers get into the playoffs.

Losing

The Pirates lost today and now will take on the Giants in the NL Wild Card. It will be another blackout at PNC Park this Wednesday night.   The Steelers blew it late against the Buccaneers and are 2 and 2.  Sometimes you can do everything right but make mistakes late to lose a game.  The Steelers have to get things right, or the call in shows will be asking for someone's head namely Mike Tomlin.  Tomlin was not happy after the game and I don't blame him.   

Big Win

Pitt and the Pirates suffered some tough loss and hopefully the Steelers will be ready tomorrow afternoon for a big win.

Money

Pirates won over the Reds 3-1 but the Cardinals are leading right now, plus the Giants are tied at 1 with the Padres.     Great weather and day at work with going to the grocery store after I was done.

Style

Pirates won over the Braves 10-1 and one game behind the Cardinals going into this weekend. Great day at work and too care of the rent before I got started.  Derek Jeter dramatic base hit to led the Yankees to a 6-5 win over the Baltimore Orioles, and ended his playing career at Yankee Stadium in style.

Clinched

Pirates clinched a playoff appearance and could get a chance winning the division title  when the Cardinals lose to the Cubs.

Closing In

I got the new glasses and they fit me really well and it will take some time to get use to it.   The Pirates won 1-0 and they are closing in on the playoffs.

Beginning

There have been a lot of changes with me and tomorrow I probably get my new glasses.  I got new shoes for work and it is only the beginning.

Roaring

Steelers won a big game over the Carolina Panthers 37 to 19 and the Pirates won over the Brewers 1-0 to cut their magic number to 3.   It was  a good day out there today but Devin had to leave early because he was sick.

Clinched

Pirates pulled out over the Brewers 4-2 and the magic number is down to 5 to clinched a playoff spot.

Clinched

Pirates pulled out over the Brewers 4-2 and the magic number is down to 5 to clinched a playoff spot.

Dame Fortune

Pirates won 3-2 over the Red Sox and it was because of a lucky play for them, and after 21 losing seasons dame fortune was on their side. Falcons won big over Tampa Bay, and my first football pick was a winner.   With all of the negative things happening in the NFL a lot people have a lot work to do.

Adjustment

My eye exam went well and will have new glasses next week or sooner.   My left eye is a little worse so an adjustment had to be made.  Pirates dominate the Red Sox and won 9-1.  Major changes are underway and I am happy about that.

Major Changes

It was a good day with the cart pusher, but was warned about taking longer break than I should.    Sometimes I can't take my break when I should due to carryouts or other things.   Eye exam tomorrow and things will be changing for the better.

Busy Day

I did a blog about all of the off the field incidents in the NFL.   Did a lot things today and took care of the major business such as the saving account.     I have to get the eyes checked out, teeth looked at, and health examination.  All of these will be done soon and as well as when are we going to Pro Football Hall of Fame.    With all of the off the field issues some people are not sure if they want to watch the NFL anymore.

Triple Play

The Pirates did the impossible getting a triple play and beating the Cubs 7-3.     It was tough watching a couple of videos of about what happened off the field in the NFL.

Worth It

This week was tough being a fan of the NFL, but I will not boycott it   Some female members of the media questioned if it worth it to cover the league.     A someone who wants to be sportscasting this will not stop me from going on the air.

Grind

Pirates won a big game against the Cubs and good things are happening.  Paid Tom the ticket money, ate at GetGo, and went to the store get some groceries.  Gary fixed the door and realize I had to do a better job folding clothes.

Break

I received some good news today at work one of the managers has connections with a local TV station who covers high schools sports.  I might get to cover either a high school football, basketball, or a baseball game.  It might happen soon.

Double or Nothing

Tough loss for the Steelers against the Ravens and there was a lot of discussion on the Ray Rice issue before the game.   The Pirates won over the Phillies 4-1, and had a great road trip.   They are in great position to be in the playoffs either as a wild card or a division winner.

Determined

I am not discouraged about the meeting but more determined to get thing done.   However, if it means making a lot of changes in my life then so be it.  Cart pushing went well today, but almost lost the remote near the end of the day.

Drive

I had a chance to talk to my mentor and gave me some great advice.  He told me to keep networking, attend career fairs, develop a podcast, talking to minor league and high school teams about working for them.   He suggest to me to keep blogging and do videos, and keep trying despite not driving a car.  Plus try to work with SMWW after my degree and loans are paid off.

Big Time

Great day using the cart pusher and my mentor called setting up a meeting tomorrow afternoon.  Good things are happening to me and maybe it is the start of something big.

High Rolling

The Steelers won over the Browns 30 to 27, and the Pirates swept the Cubs to take over the second NL wild card spot.   I forget to set the DVR and so I had to rely the highlights, and another good day at work with the cart pusher.

Routine

Great day at work with the cart pusher and the weather was tough to deal with it.   Try to call my mentor but he was not there, but left a message.   I will talk to him on Tuesday.

Changing the Pace

It is almost game time for the Pirates and did just about everything but didn't clean the wood.  I do that then have lunch, and make my phone call to my mentor later on in the afternoon.

Legion

I just watched the Seahawks and they will one tough team to beat this season.  Today was great not only I was able to get better on the cart pusher, but talk to Josh's mentor who could help me out, plus talked to Carla.

Pushing Forward

Another tough loss against Cardinals and they have to win tomorrow.   My record is clean and used the cart pusher with no problems.   Got a email from a new mentor and have to call him this Friday.

Tough One

It was a okay day with a lot of warm weather and some rain.  Pirates lose another tough one to the Cardinals.

Down the Stretch

Pirates came up short today against the Reds because Chris Heisley hit two home runs.    There are two games back in the division and the wild card.    I went to the grocery store and got what I need.  My can opener was broken so I have to get another one.

Buliding Up

The Pirates won again today and now cutting the Brewers lead to 2 games.   The Steelers made there cuts and the practice squad will be announced tomorrow afternoon.   Work was good today and with everyone else using the cart pushers things will be going great.

Wait

I am reading to learn about sportscasting and getting all phases of my life in order.   I have to go to the store on Sunday, and can't wait for great things for me.  Despite today being a tough one, but I can't wait until because the future is getting better every day.

Phase One

The Steelers lost to the Panthers 10-0 and finished the pre season 1-3.  Now it is starts for real against Cleveland next Sunday afternoon.    The rent was paid and got new frames for my glasses.   It is only the beginning with all of the changes I am going to be making in all phases of my life.

Few Worries

I am proud to say that the washer is working well and the clothes look great.   I thought I lost my lunch container and my radio, but I left it at County Market.  Did some returns and got some cash back.   I have to worry about the rent and getting some food.  For once there are very few worries that I have to deal with.

Lucky Night

Pirates came up with a big win over the Cardinals, but Cutch and Pedro got hurt .  Mom got her pills and need three stamps, plus she gave  me some money.   They were over the apartment and fixed a couple things.   Payday is Thursday and the rent will be taken care of.

Try Again

Another one run loss for the Pirates and get real frustrating giving the lead in the middle innings.  Score one in the 9th and come up short, but have to try again tomorrow evening.    First day back at work was good and the tunnel was in good shape.   They be over tomorrow morning to fix a couple things.

Improvement

My washer has been replaced and will wash my clothes on there later in the week.   Work starts up again on Monday, and realized that I have to make some changes in the way I do business.   I can't make the mistakes of the past and do some improvement in my time management skills.

Big Time

Pirates win another big game against the Brewers, and looking forward to maybe a sweep to cut the deficit to 3 games before the next home stand.     End of thinking about the end of vacation, but it could the beginning of something big.

Refreshing

Happy for the big Pirates win this evening and a game they have to have if they want to catch the Brewers in the division.  Got up early this morning and got everything done, but took a two hour nap.  That cost me a chance to make a phone call to via LinkedIn, but I can call him when I have a day off.   This week have been very busy for me going to Pre season game Vs. the Buffalo Bills,  Pirates win over the Braves Wednesday night, and trips to training camp.   The countdown is on for my loans because one payment was done and eight more to go.

Long Term

LeGarrette Blount and Le'Veon Bell were arrested for possession of marijuana, and Bell was also charged driving under the influence. There was a woman in a Camaro with both men.  It happened at McKnight Road ninety minutes before the team flight to the Philadelphia for a game.  Bell gave a blood test to a hospital and it will take some time for the test results.   Bell and Blount will have to take more drug tests and if they get in trouble again both of them are subjected for a 4 game suspension by the NFL.  The Steelers are going to wait for the legal system to take it course.    Both men showed poor judgment in this situation, and could hurt their careers long term.

Improvement

The Pirates won a big game last night and now they have to take on the Brewers starting tomorrow night.    The Steelers played a lousy game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and have to get better next week versus the Carolina Panthers.

Turn Around

Looking forward to going to the Pirates game tomorrow night with the Braves.   The forecast is not very promising, and the season is going downhill.   I don't see like that because they can turn it around real quick.

Great Year

I did some work on my book tonight and it will be a while before it is completed.  I am asking please be patience with me for this is a labor of love. The Pirates lost again tonight, but good things will be on the horizon for the team.  Injured players will be back and this season could still be great.

Chances and Risks

The Pirates fans are frustrated after this weekend series against the Nationals.  They have to right the ship against the Braves starting Monday night.  I will be at the game on Wednesday night, but the weather could be a major problem.  If the one of the games on Monday or Tuesday gets rained out we could wind up with a doubleheader.  It could be a long night for us, but it could be worth it.   I might talk to someone on Federal Street where they do the pre game show and something could happen.  If not I will forge ahead.

Practice Time

I enjoyed myself on Thursday night with the night practice, and there were great made by the Steelers.    Friday was a day to relax and take care of some small things.  So far the vacation is going good.

Hard Luck

I enjoyed going to the Steelers game last night with a win over the Buffalo Bills 19-16.  Frustrated by the Pirates five game losing streak,  but will not give up on the season.   I am getting a new washer soon and don't have to worry about that.    Vacation real starts Monday and have already gone to the grocery store.

Doing Work

Did a blog today about our day at the joint practice with the Bills.   We had a great day and paid for our tickets, plus taking care of tickets for other people.     Julie will get her tickets and maybe another blog will be done this evening.

Changes

Vacation starts tomorrow with the joint practice of the Steelers and the Bills.  We have to pick up Tom Bittner tomorrow afternoon, and on Saturday night going to Heinz Field.   I have a chance to work on some things and make some changes.

Preparing for the Future

Great Pirates win this evening, and looking forward to the upcoming vacation.   It starts on Thursday with the joint practice with the Steelers taking on the Buffalo Bills.   We have to pick up Tom in the afternoon and pay for our tickets.   The bills have already paid up and will go to store real soon.

Going Forward

Left a message on Facebook and said that I am proud of my nephews.   Got a message from Amy and said they are proud of me.    Happy that the Pirates won over the Tigers this evening, and they need to keep on winning despite all of the injuries to their star players.  Finally I get a day off after working 6 straight days and the vacation is around the corner.

Best Opportunity

Good day at work the tunnels were filled up before I left.   This week will be short with Wednesday been my last day before I go on vacation.  I have a lot on mind and things will be starting to come together real soon.  I told Dan that we have to try to get new job and the vacation time will be the best opportunity to get that done.

New Beginnings

The Pirates got beat tonight by the Padres and Steelers lose their first pre season game against the NY Giants.  Good day at work and the tunnels were filled up, and happy for my nephew who will start at California University of PA in two weeks.  Hopefully his uncle will start a new life real soon, and not spinning my wheels.

Voicing

I have never been afraid to let people know how I feel about things.   I let some folks at work that I have been frustrated about not going forward in my career.   It is natural to get frustrated because I am not patience about things.  I can't let the frustration be hindrance to my future.

Next Week

Good day at work and looking forward to next week because next Thursday I will be at St. Vincent for a joint practice against the Buffalo Bills.  Plus I will be at Heinz Field for the pre season game VS the Bills, and next Wednesday at PNC Park for the Pirates VS the Atlanta Braves.  I also hope I get closer to my goal.

Off Hours

I  have not written in the past two days and NFL pre-season football is back.  The Pirates have won the last two games against the Marlins.  Even with the injuries they are 1.5 games back of the Brewers and in the hurt for the wild card.  Still get frustrated about not getting my big breaks.  I can't let that get me down, and may have to leave the area to go forward in life.

Launching Again

Good Monday and Dan has to do something last night so we are going to have some fun tomorrow evening at 5:00.   I am ready to make some things happen real soon and, I am not waiting for 2015.   2015 START NOW.

Last Minute

Good Sunday at work, but was mad about the Pirates getting railroaded by a bad call.   Looking forward for more wins and hopefully get over this raw deal. Dan forget to picked me up, but something happened at the last minute.

Proving Ground

I am having a rare Saturday off and got my schedule for my vacation week.    I am straying from what I am doing, and need to get back on track.    I have two weeks before I go on my vacation and I need to getting things done.   That means doing some cutting back on the things I have doing in the past.

Night Time

The night practice was outstanding with a lot of exciting plays and the crowd was into it.  Already got the tickets for the games we are going to, and don't have to pay Tom until August 14th when we are going to the scrimmage against the Buffalo Bills.

Night Game

It is great that I did not have to pay the rent in this paycheck.  Good weather day and one of the stockmen did not show up.      His girlfriend had a baby, but we had two other guys show up and the lot looked great.   Looking forward to the night practice, talking to Tom Bittner and get pictures sent to sent to the computer.

Launching Point

Today was an okay day due to the rain and thunderstorms, but had a funny moment. I thought I lost my keys, but they were in my locker.    I ate a Wendy's on the way home, plus got my ticket for the Braves on August 18th.   Tomorrow is payday for me and there are no bills that have to paid until August 14th.   There are lot of positive things going on and will use the money to start some things that mattered to me.

Active

Good day at work getting all of the carts from the lot and after work stop and got a pizza from County Market.    Dan talked to Tom Bittner and we are going to the game against the Texans on Oct 20th.  The reason it is less money for that game, but don't have to spend a lot for the preseason game against the Bills on August 16th.

Active Day

We ate at Denny's and then went to Westmoreland Mall, plus answered a trivia question getting a prize.    Went to Training Camp to see practice this afternoon and did something in the traveling Great Hall.    Did play by play on 4 classic plays there and got some to eat at GetGo.   Then did the laundry and listened to the Pirates defeat the Giants 5-0. 

Camp Stop

Good day at work and may go to training camp tomorrow afternoon, but it will depend on the weather.  We will go to Denny's before hand and may talk about a few things as well.  Hopefully we might talk to some people at training camp stop at a restaurant.

Skill Set

I had a good day at work and after I came home two blogs were done.    I had the realization that I have a lot of different skills but no one is hiring me.  I am not discouraged about it but it is getting frustrated.   I get that I might have ADD or ADHD, and it is tough at times to stay focus.  I have a lot of challenges in life but it is not going to stop me.

Challenges

It was great off day and got some food from mom, plus some cash.   I will work the next two days and then I will get off Monday.   I will be going to Steelers Training Camp if it doesn't rain.   I am in good mood not because I got some food but I feel good things are going to happen.  Making adjustments on the fly and learning about myself.  The thing I have learned is that I have to improve in all phases and willing to try new things.

Come Together

Paperwork was sent out this morning and everything is set, but I have to wait 7-10 business days for them to receive it.  Ready for a day off and next week might go to Steelers Training Camp on Monday.   I don't worry about anything because it all coming together.

Paid Up

The weather was okay this afternoon and got a lot of work done today.   The lot looked in pretty good shape, and will take care of the PHEAA paperwork tomorrow at the bank.  I am not worried about anything because all of the bills this month have been paid.

Night at PNC

Enjoyed the night a PNC Park with the Pirates defeating the Dodgers 12-7.   It had everything homeruns to beanballs, plus some ejections.   Will take of the PHEAA paperwork on Thursday morning and have to make some decisions about that will affect me short and long term.

Long Day

It was a warm day outside and we managed to keep the tunnel in good shape.  Looking forward to tomorrow night at PNC Park.  The weather will be okay so the game will be great.  New mail address and new attitude is emerging so things will be done sooner than later.

Patience

Sometimes I have lost perspective on things because I want it all and I don't want to wait.  Patience is something that I have to learn and I must show that in order to become a success.  Good day at work and got the lot in great shape and looking forward to some good things in the near future.

Frustations.

Good day at work despite the weather being a problem.   I was feel that no matter how much you put out at work you have to do the same thing the next day.  It is not a problem for me to do, but their are times that I struggled with one thing.   It is that I don't know what I can truly can achieve.    There are so many frustrations that happen every day and it wears on you.   Lack of money and opportunities are the main problems, but I can't let that get me down.

Big Weeks

Good day at work and the week was a good one for me.  New connections via LinkedIn and took care of all of the business of this month meaning all bills are paid in full.  Looking forward to going to PNC Park for the game against the Dodgers.   Then next week is going to Latrobe for Steelers Training Camp and a night practice on August 1st.  The vacation is starting August 16th and going to a Steelers pre season game and another Pirates game as well.

Day Off

Found out my about the money order machine is not working so I have to sent the rent out tomorrow.   Everything went well and going to the store tonight and will get Dan a blizzard at Dairy Queen.  I got a haircut and don't have to worry about bread and a couple other things at the store that I got this afternoon.

Messages

Today was a great day because I got to work on time and go the parking lot in great shape and then went to Steak n Shake for dinner.    Good things are happening because I am getting positive messages via Facebook.  Getting new connections via LinkedIn and will use them to open some doors for me.

Birthday

Tomorrow is my Mom Birthday's and she has already have her gift and card.   She is a big part of my life and that is why I am trying so hard to become a success.  I am trying to get my big break but no luck as of yet.  I will not give up no matter how difficult things get at times.   I had an audition with the Fan 93.7 but it didn't work out.  It was a learning experience for me.  The advice I got was I need a lot more work so I would not get tense or nervous.

Lot

Today was a good day because it was raining in the morning and then it cleared out during the afternoon.   I have a lot of help to take care of the lot, and marked down my  vacation time in Mid-August.  I am hopefully that things will started around late July because I would have all my bills paid up by then.

Rolling

Today was a mixed day with the weather sometimes rainy and then sunny.   The tunnel was filled up later on in the day.   My Mom's birthday is Wednesday and she already has her present and card. The Pirates had another tough loss today, but 3.5 back going into the All-Star break. Maybe a big move will happened before the trade deadline on July 31st.  I am at point in my life that things have to be done.   Every day is not a do or die situation but I have to take positive steps to have a good future.

Effort

 In the past, I have been very critical of young people and that is because I have been in the parking lot seeing and observing them doing nothing. There is so much untapped potential, and they are making no effort to do something with their lives.   I also get frustrated when I am making the effort and do things right, but no big break as of yet. Well, no matter what I will not give up and keep trying hard as I can.

New Beginning

Today, Gary brought me over food and my tax papers so I have already taken care of it.  I have to mail the copy and they will send in my new form.   As for the future the first step has been taken. I have understood it will take a lot of hard work and nothing is given but it is earned.  I have the opportunity to getting to a lot of things done in the next six months.   I can't wait to get started on my new life.

6 Months

It has been six months since 2014 started and they have been some good things, and one disappointment. The good things new blogs and advice from family and friends.  New things via LinkedIn that opened some doors for me. The audition from the Fan was a disappointment, but was a learning experience for me.   Instead of feeling sorry for myself I am going to do everything I can to make the rest of the year great for me.  As for the future the best is yet to come.

Posters

Good day at work the lot was outstanding for the whole day and evening.  We finally got all of the posters up, and Dan got pictures of them all.  He will send the pictures to Tom on August 1st.    Looking forward to Friday to get the paperwork and taking care of the loan and getting ready for the rest of the year.  She will also bring meatloaves for me and Dan.

Mixed Reviews

I had a great evening with Dan eating at Denny's then stopped at Tom Bittner's house to get some posters.    The only problem is the tape is bad and have to get the good stuff tomorrow.    Pirates lose another walk off to the Cardinals on home run.  Talked to mom and will get the loan mess straighten out, plus get some meat loaf on Friday.

Change in Plans

I had a chance to go to the new Dollar Tree and it is a nice place for me to get things. Checked in with PHEAA and they changed some of the rules so I need some paperwork from my tax form and once they get it everything will be straightened out.  Then  I came concentrate on getting my degree and starting a new career.

Restless

We got all of the carts today even though there was three cart pushers today.   I had a hard time getting some rest because I was restless.  Restless due to the fact I am pushing carts instead of doing what I want to do. Right now there are no new opportunities and that what bothers me.    I want to do so much but I have a short attention span.  I don't know if I have ADD or ADHD, and sometimes I zone out outside in the parking lot.  If there is a problem I have to corrected it as soon as possible.

Learning

I was outside and was almost hit by a car and can't let down my guard out there.   While outside I realized that I have to challenged myself physically and intellectually. It mean I have to keep myself in shape via diet and exercise. Intellectually I have to learn a foreign language or singing or acting.    I need to work on a plan b and so forth.   As far as my degree goes I will get it sometimes next year.

Aspect

Today was good day and we have no problems getting the carts in the tunnel.   There will be a change coming soon.   I have thought out how to get my degree and it will happen sometime next year.  I am putting together a plan to get the money for it.   I am no longer going to waste time worrying about things that I can't control.  I can control how my attitude is and working to get all aspect of my future in order.

Holiday

Today was a great day because I got a response from a LinkedIn group. The workday was okay because it got slower as the day continued.   The lot was in great shape after I left.    Talked to my mom today and thank her for the card and cash.  Pirates won over the Phillies 8 to 2.    I will go to the Dollar Tree on Monday to see what they have. I sometimes forget how good I have it and that because I want to have success, plus my patience is starting wear thin.

Futureshock

I have at times been tense and frustrated about my situation whether it money or career prospects.   The timing at times have been very bad either I can't get the day off or don't have enough money.   Well, now the wages are not garnished so I can get my degree paid off and start saving some money to do something.    I have to paid for some Steelers preseason tickets and for a regular season game.   My pal Randy also tells me via Facebook that I stay up too much.   Well, I have to work on the habit and try to get everything in order for a bright future.

Fireworks

I had a good time at Jenny's party and we got a lot of food to take home.   Before that I had two bills paid, put money in the saving account, got picture and money from mom.  Then I went to the grocery store and missed the Pirates give 7 runs in the 9th inning to lose to Arizona 10-2.  I have a lot things on my mind about the future but can't be overwhelmed by them.    I have to work the next three days before having a day off on Monday.    I have plans for the next two paychecks and will put together something big.

Another Day

It was another hot day at work and was somewhat comfortable.   There were some carryouts, but mostly it was about the carts.    I am glad that I have tomorrow off so I can pay my bills and go the store before we go to a friend house for a party.   I am so frustrated about nothing happening in my career.  I was told to have a plan b and concentrate on writing for a magazine or newspaper.  The money situation is getting better, but still dealing with student loans.  The problem is my schedule and put things together.   So if anyone could help me please let me know.

Debut

I have been busy in the past seven months and here is what is going on.   I have been blogging with KCSportsNinja.com from the start of the 2014 to right now.  I had an audition with 93.7 the Fan and it was a great learning experience.  I was tense and sound a little robotic.   I need more work and opportunity to get more work in, but with my work schedule it is very difficult.  I am making many changes and that means having a structured schedule to get some rehearsing and blogging.  I am growing and evolving as a person, and realizing my potential. I have always struggling in life because I never know what I truly capable of.  I am happy that I get a lot of support from family and friends.   What I truly need is the opportunity to get a job even if it is part time to get the on air experience that could help me in the long run.
