Update on...Me.

I would like to update you all on what I have been doing lately.  The first thing I'd like you all to know is that I have been getting some help in my quest to get a job in the Television or Radio department.  Since last December, I have been working with a counselor from the Vocational Rehabilitation program in Burlington.  I will not go into any more major details about it except for the fact that it has been a major help for me as I look to get into the media business (TV, Radio, etc.)  I have another meeting coming up in a couple of weeks, so I hope to update you again real soon.

Last weekend was graduation weekend for some schools.  To those who graduated from college last weekend, especially to those at my Alma Mater Lyndon State College, congratulations and continue success no matter where the road takes you.  A year ago, I was able to graduate from Lyndon and it was the biggest moment I have had; being able to celebrate it with my friends and family.  I hope you all enjoyed that moment and never forget the memories of your years in school.

As a sports fan, I have been following the NHL playoffs and, just like most of my New England friends, been keeping a close eye on the Bruins' success into the Eastern Conference Finals.  Now, the Bruins get ready for a major clash with the Pittsburgh Penguins (I believe I am friends with some Pens fans out there).  I cannot see this series going quick; it will be a long and very physical matchup between these two storied rivals.  My heart says Bruins in seven, but my unbiased part of me says it could go either way (which means I go with my heart).

I am a huge fan of any sport, which includes Soccer.  So when the UEFA Champions League final took place this afternoon, I watched the whole game.  It was between Dortmund and Bayern (using shortened names) and was a classic game that was all tied up until the 90th minute. Here is the video for all to watch with the call by one of my favorite announcer, Gus Johnson (Warning:  Turn down your volume or don't turn it up too high before watching this; HE GOES NUTS!)  All other sports updates will happen at a later time.

That's my update on what's been going on lately.  Again, congrats to all the graduates from last week's college events, good luck to the Bruins in the Conference Finals and I hope to see some of you real soon.  In the meantime, I would love to hear from as many of you as I can.  Whether its a comment or even if you have a question for me, let me know on this blog, on my Facebook page or Twitter page (@theploofer).  Thank you and keep in touch.
