    Weekly Wrap Up (Apr. 21 - Apr. 27)

    By wildone

    Hey all. This week we continued to focus on the tragic news of @Comicality's passing. I know when I do the wrap up, I'm kind of doing what I hope some of your are doing. catching up on what happened over the week. When I heard we were out of Comsie's articles and also another blog when we heard he was having some health concerns, never did I know this would happen . I enjoy reading all the blogs over the week and liked Comsie's Weekly Writing Articles. They just made sense.  If for som

Reputations and Heresy

I logged on tonight, ready to head off to bed, and went to check my profile to make sure no one posted something obscene or anything in the comments section, and I noticed that my reputation tag had changed. It said   Reputation: 106 Someone Might Think I'm Dom   Now that's f**king funny. Even if it is heretical: I'm a Domaholic who's way beyond any 12 step program.   I'm trying to figure out who did it. Joe is suspect numero uno.

Return

Okay, I seem to be getting over whatever it was that had me down.   It's not that happy days are here again, but the sun is shining and I'm looking forward.   I've returned to working on The Artists. This gives me two long stories to write, learning Spanish, learning my digital camera, forcing myself to read poetry, and coping with near constant pain in my knee. I might even tackle an upcoming Anthology.   I did not get a new knee. I am not old enough. Replacement knees only last 15 to 20

Two Kids and a Dog

Scott and I went to a housewarming party for some friends of ours, a straight couple, recently. It was a fresh change. I don't socialize with straight people very often anymore, and when I do it's usually in some type of "gay" setting and they're the minority. So it was weird to go to a party at which Scott and I were the only two gays. It was fun though, I really like the couple and their friends were nice.   There were a couple of small kids there. A four year old girl and her baby brot

airport anecdotes - 1c each

I'll keep this session brief.   Summarize my fourth of july: sex, drugs, sex, fireworks, old glory and her greatness. Hang over.   I went to Portland for that. Why? I have no idea. It was cheap (at least from what we got/we being my friends and I). I had fun, they had fun. The weather was "cool" figuratively and literally. I hate V necks and douche bags who wear them when they should not. I've never had so much coffee in my life while in Portland.   I'd like to consider myself a professio

An Attitude and Culture of Victimization

I think the things that happen to you are less important than what you do with them.   Today a friend of mine kept sending me texts about this article he was reading. Basically the article, and hence the texts, were about how royally F-d up his life was destined to be because his family hadn't been supportive of his sexuality when he was younger. Now don't get me wrong, I care about my friend very much and I'm deeply sorry for all the painful things that have happened to me, but one strong m

HOME!

Dan and I just got back to our home in Sacramento about 1/2 hour ago. Car is unpacked and it feels SOOOOOOO F*ING good to be home.

It feels like I'm dating a straight woman

I have this female friend who's being particularly needy lately (and she's a real life friend, so this isn't some vailed b*tch slap against any of you ). Let's call her Nellie.   This neediness is really starting to suffocate me and I'm debating what to do about it.   Needy Nellie was over the top last week when I went to a Canada Day party at a local bar. I arrived kind of late, so most everyone was already there seated at the two rows of tables (about 50 people overall). I saw some

Nightmares Of The Mind

I was lying on my bed with him, staring at the ceiling thinking how great thinks were going, and how this was going to be the best 4th Of July I've ever had, and then the clock strikes 12:00 making it officially 4th Of July, and everything slowly starts to go black, I can feel my body shaking but I can no longer feel him next to me. I keep blinking my eyes and I start to see green gas floating around me, I feel my body shutting down, I hear him screaming besides me and I try screaming out for hi

4th of July Happiness

I spent the 4th of July at my sister's house in the boondocks. She had a lot of friends over, as well as the in-laws-to-be, and we sat around and had lots of food, set off fireworks, and got to know the people that I'll be calling family soon enough.   Seven years ago, my sister Chrissy was in this horrible relationship with a loser cokehead named John. She was engaged to be married to him, and luckily, that fizzled out and she met a much better guy named Mike. They're getting married in

4th of July: Worth Celebrating

It was different this year. Not the fireworks; they were no better than normal. Not the barbecue. It was as good as always. No, what was different this year is that for the first time in a long time, I actually felt like celebrating. I think that we (the US) actually have a chance of being a great nation again. A new president, a new approach, a new direction. Heady stuff.   I'm not naive enough to think that just because Obama is President that things will miraculously fall into place

Chaotic Nights

Enter Eric... your typical average guy who love to have fun in his home away from home... Red Bank...   I got to Red Bank, and while the train was crowded, it was normal for holiday traffic. I ended up going to my job and see what was going on, and to hang around with the people I work with (the area manager and my manager). They asked why I was there and I said I don't do well with small places and large amounts of people, and I rather hang here if that's okay. They both said sure, and I ende

Rebel Kitty

This is my new kitten Havoc. He plays all the time: we are his human cat toys. He runs, he jumps, he bites, he claws and climbs me causing many lacerations.       In trying to figure out how this spoiled kitty is so rough, I noticed these strange markings on his head.     Coincidence? I think not.   ____________________________   PS- I'm back after a cooling off period but II'm not going anywhere NEAR the soapbox.

also, why do I have to be naked for this exactly?

Answers here I come...   So for the past few weeks I've been feeling different/not great after I eat and since diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. all runs in my family, I decided I better go to the doctore for the first time in... since Matty was born. I told her my symptoms, I said family history, and she sent me directly to the lab for a whole bunch of tests and said to make an appointment for the following week to have a physical and discuss the results.   That was today.

Career Goals part deux

I've been thinking a lot lately, which isn't a good thing sometimes (things tend to blow up ).   Career wise, I know what I wanna do, which is great. How I'll get there is gonna take some time, but it'll be worth it. Over the next year or so I'll be going for medical training (Not sure which programs yet) and I'll also be going for my CADC (Certificate in Alcohol and Drug Counseling) which will hopefully get me a decent paying job at a hospital or doctors office. From there, I plan on going b

Another 'Bonding' Experience

Short blog this time.   So my sister is in jail. Apparently she had a DWI and also got a ticket for hitting an object on the highway and failing to stop. Which probably means she hit a cone or something and the cop pulled her over and found that she was drunk.   She called me at 8 this morning asking me to come bail her out and not tell my parents. Well that's hard to do when I don't get paid until Friday and don't have the money. So my brother and I called just about everyone we could tryin

Crazy on Paper

I took a creative writing class--well workshop--last semester, did you know these things, blogs, are supposed to be carefully planned out? If that is the case, blogage = FAIL, EPIC FAIL even. I dunno I guess this would be a more entertaining blog if everything was thought out and well rendered into some pseudo-journalistic spin-off.   I dunno, to me a blog should be more personal, It should be clearly partisan, and one should never turn to a blog for precise facts. That is just a fools erran

The Wormwood

An epic tale with a not so epic main character---     Purpose is beautiful. A euphoria of some far off place, the way the clouds move and the people elect. Purpose is lovely. When you have purpose you feel complete, your purpose may change throughout your career as man, but you will always have something

Discharged and back at apartment!

Just a quick note to say everything went well, and the hospital discharged me this morning and I'm back at the apartment Dan and I are using near Stanford. Still have to stay here in the "safe zone" area until around July 16th (give or take a day) and have a follow-up appointment tomorrow at the clinic at 10AM, but just feel great not being actually IN the hospital. I gotta say though - usually I'm totally crawling up the walls toward the end of my stays - this one was very pleasant and relax

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Michael Jackson

I was supposed to take a vacation to get away from the f**king heat here in the midwest (see last blog entry: Doldrums), so I did. To Cleveland. Now I know what you're thinking, not exactly a tourist mecca, and you'd be right, even though all the cute guys up there look a lot like Billy. And even though I went up there for a wedding (family thing...drank too much..puked...did it right) you may want to re-think that and make a stop at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.   It's set on the wa

June 25th

First - thank you to Dan for his updates while I've been .... um.... hehe - more "out" of it.   Today has been a very full day. Physically, I'm feeling fantastic. Since I got re-admitted to the hospital last Saturday, I've gone up and down on the fever scale (my first big fever broke Monday morning, and had a 2nd spike yesterday). Today, every one of my temps has been in more of a normal range. Temps in the hospital are taken in Celsius - under 37C is totally normal, 37-38 is a low grade

It's Too Effing Hot

Yeah, and I'm working in the heat these days. Today, it was like 103 degrees and humid. It's horrible! I knew it was going to be hot, but it's only June. Maybe that means it'll be 120 next month. I have always disliked summer. Now I dislike it even more.

In Dreams...

I had an odd dream last night. Well, not so much odd, for me, as unexpected.   For some reason whenever I dream about a home, it's always my aunts house. The one I moved out of some 5 years ago now. It does not matter if the home is supposed to be my home, or someone elses home it's always that particular house.   Anyhow I dreamt1 of it again last night. In this incarnation, it was not my home, nor was it my aunts home;it was the home of a guy I was interested in. He seemed happy, content e
