2010 was a disappointing year and unfortunately it was just like the previous year in a lot of negative ways. I did not find a full time job. I did not fine a special girl and my life has not progressed in any department.
January 2
2010 started with a pretty cool sporting event.
I went to a hockey game at Fenway park.
February 19
In February, I was suppose to go out to Seattle to see Nikki and Bon Jovi with her. However, things didn’t go as planned and she left me hanging with a plane ticket that because it was within 24 hours of the flight, I could not cancel it. It was a pretty expensive ticket. Especially considering I only work 4 hours a week. I was not happy and still, have a sore spot over that.
February 28
I had a surprise for my birthday.
In bad weather, my cousin Hayley came up from NJ to be with Justin and I on our b day.
My birthday was spent with my family and close friends and two of the gifts were a Bon Jovi “the circle” concert t shirt so I could wear it when I go with Hayley to see Bon Jovi open the new Meadowlands stadium. . The other was a SF rice 80 t –jersey so when I went with my twin to the hall induction, I had something to wear.

We got an addition to our family. Justin and Lindsay got a puppy. After a few weeks and taking a pole, they decided on Lucic. He’s named after a Boston Bruin hockey player.

My cousin’s naming.
My cousin Hayley wanted an official naming because she never had one when she was a baby. I went down to NJ on the bus which was a very scary situation as I was dropped off at the wrong stop but finally with help from a good Samaritan, my cousin found me. The weekend was relaxing and nice. I met some of her friends and we went to temple for the naming.
May 26
My dream concert
I got to see Bon Jovi, with my cousin, in Bon Jovi’s home state, to see him open the New Meadowlands Stadium and we were on the floor. Amazing wouldn’t do justice to this concert. Bon Jovi just rocked my sox.

My “next” favorite baseball player, Steven Strasburg made his major league debut. It was the most anticipated, hyped up debut by any baseball player in the history of baseball and with all the pressure on him, even he exceeded the expectations. He had 14 strike outs. This player was amazing. I got to watch him first game as it was on the MLB channel.

Another trip my twin and I took was to Texas. It was the first time being in that region of the country and we didn’t go for a baseball game either. My sister, who plays for the Boston Militia. A female professional football team. They had gone undefeated and went to the super bowl. The Militia won. I was so proud of her. The following day my sister was in the all star game. We had to leave after the first half, however, my sister was named the MVP of the all star game.

We all have the ability to take a negative situation and turn it into a positive one.
When you are asked to do something, don’t be late. You never know when you maybe saving someone’s life. People depend on us. Do not let them down.
Help people to help themselves.
Do not be a spectator in life. One person can make a difference.
