Baseball Weekend

All weekend long in Nashville, TN, I watched baseball...high school level baseaball. My brother and family came to down to play baseball. The entire weekend I was the driver across town for my family to and from the ball game. The baseball team, however, was terrible they didn't win a game. It was good to get some sun!!! Next Weekend is my cousin's wedding and that is a trip back home.

Rocky Balboa or Rocky 6

The final chapter in the Rocky series and I watched it this weekend. If you have seen this movie and you thought it was bad or not up to par you should be beaten for saying or thinking so. This was a good movie solid. Yeah it doesn't have all kinds of stuff in it but it was simple and to the point. Rocky is a staple in a America. The guy who goes from rags to riches back to semi-rags then in one last heroic attempt he goes after what makes him happy. Essentially this is what the movie is, however, there are 3 huge dialogues/monologues where Rocky gives that made me shed a tear. Before you say, what a puss, hear me out. Rocky in this movie to me portrays my father, he doesn't know a whole lot but what he knows he knows very well. Wisdom comes with age and when your dad tells you something you should listen. Rocky gives a speech to his son and it felt like my dad was on screen or right in front of me telling me that same spill. Anyway it brought a tear to my eye.

Those scenes are not the only thing that make this movie great its the fight, the montage, and just seeing another Rocky film and knowing it will be the last one.

Not totally stupid

Today at work I felt like I was back in the infant stage at life. Everything I did was wrong. I couldn't even put four screws into a rack without two other guys there helping or taking over. It feels like I am going backwards instead of forwards. I know I have the skills just at the moment I am so apprehensive about looking stupid I look stupid. I ask dumb questions that I know the answer too. I am afraid of making mistakes. Jesus, the more I am scared the worse I look. I went to school for four years to look like a jackass. I have got to get a handle on the nerves and get some confidence back. Learn the shit and just do a good job. Mistakes will be made but I have to move on.

Sometimes you just got to let it out. But I am really frustrated with my performance.
