  • I Wish I Took Down That Number

    A couple of days ago, I had received two calls for job interviews; one in Bayside, Queens, NY and the other in Jersey City, NJ.   I just picked up the phone, and assumed for job 1: Jersey City job that I had the number stored on my phone, but it didn't store.  Any who, I am having problems contacting them about that job, because I do not know how to contact the recruiter.  May be I need to search with my eyes open or something.  Either way, if I don't get a call soon, I could be kicking myself. 

    Job 2: a financial adviser position, is not something that it is in my field, but something that I could be able to do.  Unlike Job 1, this position is permanent.  I interview next week.  I'm a little peeved that I didn't ask the recruiter for her direct number.  Shame on me.  Damn being so reliant on Caller ID.

  • Huston Street

    I am getting really fed up with Huston Street and his timetable for coming back.  Normally, as a Fantasy Baseball owner, you hear, "irritation in the ulnar nerve" and yell "FUCK!" because it normally means Tommy John surgery, or ligament replacement surgery.  Either way, not good at all.  What's pissing me off is that Street is my number one closer, and I have been dealing with what to do with him for over a month now.

    The league, being dead at times, gave me a free pass on picking up Alan Embree.  At least I can feel safe in a fringe reliever getting me some saves.  Hopefully, he does not blow up my WHIP (walks and hits over innings pitched).

    Where I'm coming at is a frustration for every fantasy owner; which seemingly I've dodged within the past few years, "avoiding the injury bug to a key component to your strategy."  Street, in my assumption would have provided me 35 saves, a 2.00 ERA and a WHIP of 1.10.  Albeit, it's only 75IP out of my 1250 inning limit, his presence is mighty to show that I have a strong bullpen.  However the cumulated losses of Street, Joel Zumaya, and Takashi Saito; injury bug bit me just about time.

    The life of a Fantasy Baseball owner.  Even if it's just one team.  It is frustrating.

  • Weak...

    The mental, psychological and physical impurities of humans is what leaves individuals for whom are weak, with solemly chaotic lives.  They feed of those impurities that damages their body, physically and spiritually.  Not to mention for every impurity there is a method for curing them; most seek these methods, temporarily succeed at their methodologies, then only to fail because the structure clashes with the impure of what makes individuals, themselves.  My mental weakness, impurity, is the method that I am incapable of saying no; a process that leads me to do wrong.  My psychological weakness is that I have to create a crutch to keep me upright.  My physical weakness is that in the eyes of different individuals I am: fat, ugly, weak, stressed, crazy, insane, and an abundance of adjectives that humans can see fit to appropriate.

    A weakness is what is killing to the psyche.  I guess you would insert some philosopher's quote here, albeit I can't think of whom to place here.  If I known of anybody at all.  It feels that as individuals around me have become more adapting, well adjusted, to their environments, I have digressed.  Those whom say that the smart people lead the easier lives are surely mistaken.  The smart people are those who are able to live smartly through life; incapable of working hard, because they do smartly, before the effort.   And I've run out of melarchy.

    I need to just shut up, and deal with it, because it's life.  Which means make a *bleeping* change and commit to it.

  • Babbling Out of My Arse

    Other than Coach Barrett, I feel that I am not really wanted by the Athletics Department.  Last week was sort of a tale-tell sign when Coach, Jashira and Leah organized the office, while I was told by Margie to not touch anything.  Coupled by, "Akil, do not touch this...," "We'll handle this.  You can go run along now," and other justifiable statements, I feel like they want me to do the work that they never want to touch, and the work that I feel that I should be working at, I don't.

    I believe the language is "We will see how it goes next year" when approaching with me continuing with Athletics, or my Graduate Assistant position.  I think they know that I'm pretty much useless to their eyes, which is sad, because I do a lot of work that people do not even want to touch with a ten foot pole.  I am never afraid of being the scapegoat for when there is something that goes wrong, but when it involves me and I make a suggestion for a solution, I'm ignored, and not getting a chance to defend myself because the fault is undue, unjust, and not in my control.  The thing is, when you are set up to fail, you look for everything to see how can you succeed at doing this, but you fail, because the trust in fixing problems, even when they're not your own, they feel very tense because it will affect their jobs consequently, even if there is no consequence for them at all.

    Anywho, finishing out this semester seems to be pulling teeth.  I do not know if I am unmotivated as ever.  This feels as a complete 360-degree pull from last year as I was eager to get an opportunity.  I guess the opportunity that I had was to have some sort of latitude in my life, and all I experience is adversity that I am failing against, quite miserably.  I need to change this part of me, because it has become my undoing and the hint of why I cannot keep a job, or people to trust me.

    May be this is why my bosses, my co-workers, professors feel this way about me.  Everyone controls my life because they have a title, a purpose or responsibility, and by taking a backseat to those individuals, I may be greater than a pawn, but I'm a misused knight, easily captured by others.  Life, as in chess, I need to restart a new game and be careful of what the heck I'm supposed to be doing.

  • ...May be I Have Not Been Happy

    Blogging gives you one feature about life, and albeit it has been few-and-far-between within the past few months, clearly my disdain for school must have a cause.  I have narrowed it down to:

    • school
    • work that masks my scholarly life

    This semester has been trying to say the least.  I have been ridiculed in front of my colleagues by my boss to the point that the people who work under me do not take me seriously anymore.  Many of my coworkers see me as a running gag--"oh Akil is not happy, so he takes it out on us."  And so forth.  Most hurtful, using Leah as a mule to denote their problems about me has been noted.  I'm unhappy to say the least.

    Now if it is school, I'm constantly tired and unmotivated after a long days work.  As a graduate assistant, you put up with the bullshit of everyday work.  You study at 2 a.m. in the morning because it is cliche to do.  You live your life eating ramen noodles, tuna sandwiches and living off of Duane Reade at 4 a.m. in the morning.  Rockstar is an addiction, because, after drinking the notoriously fabbed energy drink, I crash asleep.  Not that it does not work, but not even "Foamies" (aka Starbucks; now at Poly) cannot keep me awake at night.

    Motivation vs. Responsibility is a killer.  I have taken on too much responsibility, where all I want to do is delegate it.  Delegate so others have more stake, more responsibility to do what they need to do, and should satisfy their thirst, for being so meniachally screwed in the head for not realizing what pressure that this leads on me.  My human fault is that I'm too accomodating.  I'm the pillow to the Department, because I'm a graduate student--a graduate assistant--and we are the mules to our respective Departments that keep the heart of the University running.  Sometimes, other than doing everything and everything, may be they need to trust us; and realize that when we run things, it can actually run without a hinge (e.g. when I started advertising, they did their job, and nobody said anything about having them in the office).  When my supervisor got pissy for them just being around...now, I lost a helpful source of getting work done.  When I was alienated from the office monitors, I was the one who ended up being in trouble for being incapable for getting my work done.

    Therefore, it is all my fault.

    Lately, I have just sucked it in a little and dealt with it.  May be Dom Imus can get a little of this thing called life too from being fired.

    There is no joy about him being fired.  I do not feel bad that he was canned during his fundraising efforts through his show for sudden infant death syndrome, or the fact 10 million people listen to his gospel.  Imus is Imus.  He had been the guy on radio to freely spout water from the mouth without a guide to hold it still.  Imus, set a bed for his own problems, and the fact that he was trying to do something nice, or be nice, or be apologetic to the words he said, does not dismiss the fact, never dismisses the fact that what he said was his inalieable truth of the person Imus really is.

    People apologize; those who apologize for the little things just note that they have faults.  Those who attempt to apologize for things that are said that they will never understand the underminings of being of whom they lashed out at, of their ideology that they agree with can never understand what it is to be in that situation.

    So, I won't apologize for my faults to anyone but myself.  And those who think I expect an apology from can kiss my fat black badonkadonk!
