I bet you thought I wasn't gonna be following up and being faithful w/ this blog thing, huh, huh? Well I'm back. It's been one of those pretty groovy days here in NE Florida. Vicki had paperwork/emails about work to do, and then was going to our friend Samantha's baby shower.
First off, I got a FUCKING JOB, FINALLY!!! Yeah I've been interviewing for close to a year since I got walked out of the place that has no name in the Sincoff house... FINALLY finding something is a relief... It's a start of an even playing field. A little replenishment of the old coffers which is a groovy thing.
So to clear up: no wishing bygones to be bygones. No understanding.. no well wishes to other places... Nothing. All the worst... Personally and professionally.. Nothin'. No good stuff to you and yours.
Also had to draw to draw lines and make some readjustments w/ things.... I'm not playing games w/ my family.. treat us all w/ respect.. no bullies allowed
So it was a Tobin and Dad day today..... which is a very hip thing. I finally dragged the kiddo away from the video games (How much do I sound like Sandy Sincoff??) and I took him to Losco Park down in the Mandarin section of Jax. It was awesome... T stole my Montreal Expos Hat... he ran around... he went down slides, and climbed...he even rode his bike! Our friend's Rob and Bethany brought their kids Cameryn and Liam (and little Noah) and we all hung out. In the 70 degree sunshine.... And we laughed alot and smiled too. Sometimes life is ok, y'know?
I even bought T. One of those Spongebob Squarepants Ice Cream stick thingees. It had BLACK GUMBALL EYES THAT YOU COULD BREAK OFF!!! How fucking cool is that?!? He dug it quite a bit... so that was sweet to see. I was just psyched to have cash in my wallet. I'm sure the Mr. Softee dude did not have like a credit card machine in his truck.
More comments on that UFC Fight Pass thingy via the net subscription deal at some point,,,,, U love concept... but I ain't gonna spend whatever per month to watch Petey Williams fight Frank Mir from 1998 on Vicki's tablet, or watch 2 tier fighters headline a card from Abu Dhabi on the internet... sorry... no thanks.... I like Cyril Dibiate (motherFUCKING SNAKE!), but I ain't gonna log onto the net for the UFC experience for him!
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Alfredo "El Pero" Angulo tonight on Showtime... Heart says El Perro, but brain is saying Canelo... hope Perro can make it a war, though
ok. that's it.. more wine somewherec

"So where have you gone Ethan Sincoff"
I know that It's been a long, long, long time that I have not posted. Pretty much if you have read the blog in the past, you know what happened. However, for a bit of a "refresher" course, or for those newbies out there: Vicki (my groovy wife). Tobin (awesome son) and I moved to Jacksonville, Florida in July of 2011 because I got a job offer down here. It was tough to leave Jersey... Jersey and NYC (and Philly, to an extend because that's where I went to school) were all that I know. Vicki grew up in East Bachoop, and while having lived in DC... she was also getting tired of Winters...
Plus, my Dad was down here in the FL. I wanted to make sure Dad was connected to some kind of familial thing as he hit his mid 80's. Anyway, we move him nearer us here in NE Florida... and he becomes shall we say, very difficult at times... Family members sometimes are always a mixture of pro's and cons, ups and downs. Dad was a loving guy, but to an extent, that love was always on his terms, in a bullying way.
To cut to the chase, one day, he didn't answer his phone, or door, And I knew what the deal was when I kicked in his door. Yeah he was dead. Fast Forward thru the funeral and the return to work, and at the workplace and at home things were not groovy... a whole lot of grief going on. So I took time off, went into an Outpatient Program... came back to work, and promptly got fired like a couple weeks later. At the same time, I got into graduate school... so I'm back in school.. and while I may discuss the program and location a bit at some point, I'm gonna refrain at this moment. however.. If you know me, you know what I'm up to... if you are just getting to know me... email me ethan dot sincoff at gmail dot com
So, for the past year I've been job hunting, and being a stay at home dad, and now, being a graduate student again. The 2nd paycheck would be great... but hey, life throws you curveballs.. you gotta learn to get your bat on the ball, man.... I'm sure Tobin is looking forward to "Fun" Dad returning as I go back to work, rather than "Discipline during the Day" Dad.... but hey, I'm trying :) I've had interviews... nothing has just rocked yet.
Since I last talked to you, there have been a few great fights (both boxing and mma) (Bradley vs. Provodnikov, Provodnikov vs. Alvarado, etc).. and I think the Seattle Seahawks won the Superbowl., and I am well known by the Bartram Trail Library Staff here in Saint Johns County, FL. In fact, the kooky homeless, or middle aged guy who lives at home w/ parents and I give each other the head nod and wave when I see him at the computer internet station.
The other day he was live streaming a ping pong match, and he was watching intently. To quote my cousin, Sheri, "Ethan, you have to ask yourself, who was having the better day? You, or him?!".
...So, I'm back blogging.. Feel free to read from time to time... Or if ya don't , that's fine too. I'll set my alarm so I can wake up and lose sleep over ya :-)
