I have a new job.

Frank and Jaime McCourt, owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers and currently engaged in bitter divorce proceedings, paid a psychic hundreds of thousands of dollars over a five-year period to watch Dodger games on his television and send positive thoughts to the team in hopes of boosting their chances of winning. 

I have many areas of interest in my life.  In addition to my future career as a life coach, I am also interested in working in the fields of economics and sociology.  History, politics, the law and even physics also intrigue me.  When my teaching career comes to a close someday, I could see myself perusing careers in any one of these fields.

But today I'd like to make my new career official: 

I declare myself a professional psychic, ready and willing to begin work for any sports team except the New York Jets.  For a fee slightly less than that of the clearly ineffectual psychic that the Dodgers hired (their last World Series appearance and win came in 1988), I am willing to send a tsunami of good thoughts to your team over the television airwaves, and if possible, in person as well.

That's right.  I'm a psychic now.  And a damn good one, too. 

Pretty exciting.  Huh? 

But please note:  I have one advantage that most psychics do not. 

In addition to sending out positive thoughts to your team, I am also perfectly willing to wish destruction and annihilation on your opponent for no extra charge.   While most psychics favor the positive realm of spirituality, I am an certified expert when it comes to wishing bad things on people.  I am the king of schadenfreude.  The champion of negativity. 

I have been known to wish for career-ending injuries on certain New York Jets football players, and for the right price, I am willing to offer this service to your team as well.

Put the power of the positive and the negative to work for you today.

An exciting day for me, and if you are the owner of a sports franchise, perhaps for you as well.
