This past week has gone by at a snail's pace... damn.
Training ends tomorrow, and depending on my decision whether to be a RA next fall, this may be my last training, and my last semester as a RA. It's only my second year, but after last year's experiences, I feel as though it's my fifth or sixth. And to be blunt, training has dragged on. I don't regret being a "Trainer" for the returning and new RA's, as it's been a great experience and excellent practice for presenting in front of a large group of people. But the sessions run into another as the week goes on, and it's tough to really have that enthusiasm as the week progresses. Regardless, it's bittersweet this could be my last semester as an RA.
College football starts tonight, and I'm very curious to see how the top 10 shapes up once week 4 or 5 finish. The general consensus seems to be Georgia, USC, & Ohio State at the top of the BCS polls... should be very interesting, and a ton of fun to follow/watch.
My Mets took back first place, and now the drive to the post season really begins. With Maine on the DL, I'm assuming they will call up Jon Niese to pitch, which should be a quick glimpse into the Mets future, as Niese has been labeled the next "home grown pitcher" in their system.
My prediction? Mets win the East, but not by more than 2-3 games. I do believe that the 1-2-3 of Santana/Perez/Pelfrey can really carry them into the playoffs and then some.
Lastly, NY Rangers Hockey starts soon, and i cannot freaking wait. I plan on going to a few games this year, and being 21 at the Garden is like a dream come true.

Lost.... pt.2
The earlier post was about someone and myself... obviously.
They may read this, they may not. Regardless, I've got to get a lot out there to someone, or in this case, something.... Enjoy.
So It's been almost four months since I've really felt like we were "ok". We were great leading up to your graduation... I came to see you in the city, and after that, It all came tumbling down. I don't know how, or why, or what... Basically, I'm still lost, four months later. We talked on and off from that point... we even had a few talks about what had happened... we said we'd work on it.. we'd try to make it work... and unfortunately, thus far, It hasn't.
I sit here, and wonder, what happened? We seemed so .. good? It was a feeling for you, that I've never felt before in my life... and I still feel the same, albeit combined with a lost feeling now.
I'm lost in all of this and cannot for the life of me, find my way out. We can't even seem to find the time right now, to get together and talk face to face... I can only imagine it'd be so much easier to say what we both need to get out in person, rather than abrupt, untimely, and seemingly unproductive text messages.
I don't know why I've sat here, for four months, and just waited.. I've never done it before...ever. I've pretty much asked myself the same question, every day, these past months... "Why?" There's never been that guarantee that it'll fix itself... or that we'd get that chance to fix it. You've never asked me to wait... let's get that out there.. It's always been my choice. I don't regret a single day, to be completely honest. I've asked myself why I don't regret it, and I think I've finally come up with an "ok" answer, at least for myself.
I believe in us. I believe that You and I, are meant for more than this. Over the past two years that I've known you, we've become closer than I ever could have imagined, and obviously at the same time, have become farther apart, than I could have ever imagined, or wanted for that matter. I also believe, that we've helped each other grow as adults, beyond anything we could have thought would come about from us being friends, and then some.
Thats the start of it... I can't lie, this felt good.. to get it out there.. I know people, who don't know me, or do know me, be it well or not, can/will read this. So be it. This is my life as it is. Welcome to it.

When you think that you've got life, or love life to be more exact, figured out... it's only a new door to a new hallway in a building your not familiar with. More to come later, if I ever do figure this out...

Where to start...?
I've always been a huge fan of blogging, so I figured for the next few days,weeks,months (We'll see how I like this), I'll try it out. Should be interesting, to say the least.
Where to start... ?
I guess a quick BIO wouldn't hurt...
4th year of school at William Paterson University, Sales Major.
Brother of Sigma Pi Fraternity, International. Theta Tau Chapter.
Resident Assistant for WPU.
20 years old, soon to be 21 (11/3)...
Sports Lover... more importantly Die Hard Mets/NYRangers/Packers fan...
Recreational Poker player, but I have begun to see a nice profit over the past year and have taken the game much more seriously since.
That about sums it up for basics... Anyway..
School starts in about a week, but I've been on campus since the 17th for RA Training... it's that time of year again, and although I can't say training has been terrible, it is the same basic policies etc.., and it can be monotonous at times. I cannot wait till school starts though; seeing brothers who I havn't seen in a few months, friends I haven't seen, and finally getting back into that school grind again will be a nice change of pace from the summer...
I worked for PSEG this summer, as I had 2 summers ago (broke my leg last summer to a alcohol-induced jump off of a roof at a Sigma Pi Cinco De Mayo extravaganza at Kutztown University...) and I can honestly say, I do not miss waking up at 6 am every day, nor working my 40+ Hr weeks in summer heat. Hence, bring on that school grind.
I don't know what else to write. I'll leave my first blog post ever at that.
Adios
