Fresh Start_233: Inspiration
Escalona's Video
Neistat's Video
The video I have in the link above is by a college kid from USC that is pursuing his as a filmmaker in Los Angeles. I find this video extremely relatable with my journalism career going forward. When I started this blog, I was just doing it for fun, as Justin Escalona is doing with his YouTube channel. What the both of us have in common is we are putting out content in the fields that we love on platforms that make it easy to get the content out.

I admire Escalona for the dedication that he has to filmmaking and the challenge that he brings upon himself as a daily vlogger. The level of difficulty that making a mini movie in the form of daily vlogging is extremely challenging, on top of being a college student at a big-name university. The video above does have some explicit language in the video so proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable with that type of language.

Now Escalona doesn’t need a shout out or a pat on the back, but this particular film is just something I cannot sit here and not promote.

Another film that I will have above is a film by Casey Neistat, who is the “gold standard” of a daily vlogger, and is an incredible filmmaker. Neistat is also a extremely interesting person on top of his professional career. His film is a big inspiration to me personally because being from a small suburb outside New York City, I can relate to this. I advise you to watch both films, give your feedback, and start a conversation in the comment section down below.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
