Royals Bomb the Diamondbacks

The Royals bomb the diamondbacks. Butler, Aoki, Perez all park balls into the seats. Feels good to be playing good. I always start getting down on this team but their defense and their pitching is very good.

Penguins sign Brandon Sutter. He was the best player on the team in the last months playoffs.

Yesterday..Tuesday was a tough day at work. I was nice and patient with people. I had a guy close his account which hurts my stats. I remained positive though. I know if I stay positive and work hard things will work out. I am grateful for being able to watch the Royals beat up on the Diamondbacks. Andrea worked hard to provide a place for me to watch the Royals win I come over. Andrea and I are a bit crazy sometimes, but we are not drinking and being totally stupid and we both know we have to go to AA and follow the advice of more sane people to stay out of trouble.

I was proud of my sister, dad and I getting together over the weekend. My sister and I were not awesome of showing up on time, so it was nice to actually all get together to watch guardians of the galaxy. I watched "Bad Words" that movie should have been way better. I love The Byrdman and lil' pepsi max!

Monday

Monday I passed Erica my trainer and I made a sarcastic comment. I immediately referred so. I had to beg her pardon she seemed.to forgive me. Whew! Work was good. Ralph the reverend and Debra and I had fun yukking it up at the end.of my.shift. I told Debra that she chews too loud and she about chokes on popcorn. It was a silly night because of overtime for most and everyone was workih hard. I made sure to ask my supervisor about his Baby because he is a good man and I like to see how he responds. I saw him turn down a brownie as well. He has his game in check. After work I watched Bad Words. It is a movie with Justin Bateman in it. It was OK. I laughed a couple times, it was a crude movie with a large mean streak. Bad Santa mixed with a spelling B.

Monday

After a weekend filled with laughs, mostly at the movies seeing Guardians of the Galaxy. It was time to take my butt to an AA meeting. AA meetings are the reason I can wake up and not be in jail which in turn leads me to gather up my slacks and polo shirt and take myself to the movies. It is a cycle of success. I went to the AA meeting and shook peoples hands because I need to keep my skills and chops up of meeting people.

Yesterday our server was below par, everyone wanted to be mean to her. She wasn't good at all. She was pregnant. I put myself in her shoes. Her shoes were begging for mercy because she was with child. I paid for my families food and I gave her a normal tip because I think that is what a person with empathy and character would do. I think it showed great character that we didn't yell at her for not getting us extra cheese.

Sunday

Sunday I woke up and I planned on having fun with my parents and Andrea watching Guardians of the Galaxy. We got great seats and the theater was nice. Lots of laughs and I loved the movie. There was a nice win for the Royals today. I went for a long walk with Andrea. I am blessed and grateful. We also played some sims and I am currently watching Fast and Furious. Not the be confused with The Fast and the furious.

Friday

Friday was O.K. I reviewed what went wrong with SPORTING KC in the U.S. Open cup game against Portland. What went wrong you ask? EVERYTHING!


I went for a walk today. It was good. I lost my back seatbelts to my jeep. I found them under the bench seats. I also found my old MP3 player. It still worked so I listened to Artic Monkeys and Nirvana.

I have to work today. I need to sell some things I didn't have a good day selling yesterday. I am sober today which is cool. Not in jail. Not in jail or depressed. Jason is watching spiderman. It has been a mind summer. Tomorrow I am trying to wrangle people into going to guardians of the galaxy.

Appreciating skills

Reflecting on my ranking in the top ten at work. I don't really have feelings for it, but it is nice to take the time to reflect on how reading anthony robbins and other inspirational tapes helped me to grind out and spend time and effort being patient with people, having empathy with people and practicing every interaction letting the people know you appreciate people picking up the phone to give us a call. I have situations all the time where I have to deliver bad news and I am able to do so while letting people know I love who they are and what they do. It is amazing what happens even when you have to give bad news, but you show love, empathy, and you lay out the facts. After years of really striving not to care what people think people sense you are being honest and you honestly care for other people. In turn people tend to work with you. I have had so many moments in my life that I never thought I would be mature enough to handle or to see, but they have came true. It hasn't just came naturally either. I had to carve out time to meet with Raymond, I had to actively watch videos on youtube about getting better at skills, I also had to not give up when the answer wasn't right there. Sometimes I will google or watch a video on Patience and it doesn't resonate with me right away, so I have to search for another video.

Thursday

Thursday I went to meet with Raymond. There is no price you can put on good deep level life coaching with a human that has been through it all. We discussed nightly inventory. Have you been resentful, have you been honest, have you gone through something that you need to talk to something else. It is important for me to be honest on these questions so I can grow everyday in character. Character is not just doing something that is good, it is having the same solid actions for all situations. Like the character in steel. If you say that steel has good character it means it is strong and it reacts the way it is supposed to. I had a good laugh with him because he doesn't kill spiders. Spiders are our friends they kill insects, bugs, and in the case of the brown recluse, that nasty left foot that has been giving you issues.

With me being in a decent frame of mind I went over to Andrea's yesterday, she wanted me to watch her niece and nephew. What a great chance for me to show my awesome parenting skills and also develop deep parenting skills! The kids came over and the girl Lilly is light and small, Titus says crazy things sometimes. We went for a walk and then Andrea went rouge and headed to the dollar store. Luckily I had a full tank of gas and was able to save them from the dreaded North Oak street.

At night we played Sims. I had bought the sims three times in hopes that Andrea and I would sit down and play it. She built a house and tried to get me to marry her in the game. that isn't the way it works you have to build up points. It was good that we atleast played together even though my character died of annoyance. The more controller time I have and the more I can enjoy games (especially the one of the video variety) the better.

Andrea got cable and the Royals won. That made me happy enough to spend time and energy raising my parenting skills. It is awesome how if you do good things like get cable the people around you get better.
