I really want to be a baseball player :X

I've been going to the gym with a trainer for the last few weeks (this is something I've been working on for the last couple months now.)   The only problem is I played up until high school, so my skills have all dropped off.  This is sort of a huge life goal for me that I know I could accomplish if I dedicated myself to it 100%.  I'm working on building up my weight and strength, I just don't have any real way to polish my actual baseball skills.  I'm having trouble finding any sort of YMCA league or skills camps :X

Edit: I lied, I found a shit load of leagues in my area, lessons too. =D

If you're reading this, DO IT. I want mad responses.

So one of my goals is to play for some sort of organized team.  I'm starting off with the easiest one, softball.  Then maybe if I work hard enough and train hard enough I can try out for one of the cape cod leagues.  So today marks the first day of working to this goal.  I found a place about 5 minutes down the road from work where I can hit the batting cages by myself really cheap. 

So I went today, basically the first time I've swung a bat in 3-4 years.  At first I was trying to figure out why the hell I couldn't hit the ball for the life of me, not even making contact.  I got a few practice rounds in before I opened up my batting stance which helped level my swing from the "diagonal-albert-pujols-fuck-it-im-going-deep" swing to something more level where I can actually make contact.  After years of wiffle ball, swinging with an aluminum bat is fucking hard.  I need to work on getting some upper body strength to increase my bat speed, otherwise I'm dead in the water.  So I'll go back to lifting weights again.  I need to develop a stronger core if I want to start making solid contact more consistently.

This is me, I want to be able to pick a sport up and be the best, it's frustrating at times (the reason why I refuse to swing a golf club anymore.)  My Uncle is really involved in community softball leagues and was one of the best pitchers in the country at one point, so I'll definitely go to him and see what he can help me with.  So I'm looking at this:

Batting cages twice a week
Weightlifting twice a week
Running EVERY FUCKING DAY AS ALWAYS
Be extreme every day.

It's summer, so hopefully there's leagues starting up soon :3

So the last couple days I've been thinking about getting a new computer.  My laptop is alright, but I can't really do much with a 80 gig hard drive that's partitioned into 2 40gb drives.  Granted I rarely have have 8GB available space on either of them FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON.  I had been running games off of an external hard drive, but... yeah... that's not the best idea.  I wanted to keep this one for work/related stuff and buy a new desktop.  I don't have wireless internet, so my laptop sits on my desk with 20 different things plugged into it like it's a desktop.

Last night I had Koronis explain everything to me and he helped me pick out a new desktop.  I ended up looking at a dell for about 870$ with monitor and everything, which is fine.  I have more than enough for that, even if I wanted to just pay it in full.  So this is great, I'm getting a new computer this month so I'm all happy.

Today I had stopped putting off taking my car to a muffler place to get it checked out with my dad.

Fucking disaster.

The guy who owned the place called us in and had us walk into the garage and go under the car to see that EVERYTHING was rusted and rotting out.  The man walked back and forth under the car, pointing at random places with his flashlight saying "this is rotted, this needs to be gutted, this is falling apart."  My brake lines have rust all over them and they're close to breaking.  Near my back right wheel, the body is just completely rusted to the point where it's just flaking off.  He said that it'll take one sharp turn or one good pothole to knock the wheel loose and completely fuck up my car.  The exhaust system is loose, not the muffler, the ENTIRE thing front to back is loose, so it's bouncing around whenever I hit a hill. 

Basically, my car is a ticking time bomb.  Originally, my dad and I had planned on getting it fixed up, painting it, and selling it off so I could get another car.  Well now my dad thinks I shouldn't even put another dime into the car.  Which means I'm not getting much back from it...which means I'm going to end up emptying my bank account, borrowing money from my parents AND getting a loan to buy a car I'm only going to use to drive 15 minutes back and forth to work.

I'm fucking livid right now.  I mean, it's a 94 nissan altima with only 90K miles on it... the last owner was an old couple who barely even drove it, how is that car such a mess!? 

Well looks like that computer's going to have to wait...

Fuck.

So a lot of people have been dying lately =/ but finally it's someone who mattered.

It's pouring rain outside and all I can do is be outside running and playing games.  I've been outside soaking wet playing basketball by myself and just getting such a high from the feeling.

Honestly, I don't know why I get such a high from working myself into the ground but it's one of the greatest things evaarrr

btw, my neighbors think I'm crazy because I'm playing soccer outside in a monsoon and screaming GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLL and sliding headfirst into the wet grass whenever I get the ball in the net.


I love this shit.

Everything is so perfect...

I fucking love showers


I get to see Koronis tomorrow n.n really excited.

Going to fenway park on tuesday with Koronis =O

Koronis is coming up to see me :3

About 20 days before AC and I'm already getting spammed with journals on FA.

Probably should have made plans to go =/

So I found out today that the jersey I bought is a pre-order that won't get shipped until september.  FML

Took me forever, but I finally found it in my size :D

Red Faction Guerrilla is fucking amazing

I'm planning on driving up to Springfield soon to go to the Basketball Hall of Fame.  Something I really want to do @_@

Ontop of that, I'm trying to get tickets to see the Red Sox's AAA affiliate in Pawtucket to see John Smoltz pitch a game.
