Chaos

It's been chaos for the past week or so, and it's been getting to me. I've been going hardcore style with school trying to finish up my MCSA certification and work full time (rather 50+ hour weeks). It's been stressful but what can I say, I've gotten used to it.   What I haven't gotten used to however is the self-centered additude that I've been experiencing with my mother. Lord knows I love her to death but lately she has been driving me up a wall. Monday night was the last straw however and

Lot's been going on, and it's been taxing really...   As some of you know I'm moving to the Philly Area around December if all goes well, and right now I've been working on jobs and the like, I have a few promising leads and should be able to get one (The one organization I applied for seems to really like me...).   I've also applied for the Fall 2011 semester to goto MonCo (Montgomery County Community College) and am getting a start on my loooong trek for my doctorate in Psychology.

Well... I need a bit of help...

I'm working on my story and well... I'm stuck...   I'm having a hard time laying out the scene for chapter two... I can picture it and feel it... But it's not translating from the ideas in my head to text...   Any ideas... Or should I just drop the nuke and obliterate the scene

Let the Rain Fall

Same deal as before... this is Heavily beta so theres gonna be HUGE issues with Grammer and words and the like... I'm just publishing little snippets to gauge a possible audience   Also, this is the prequel which will appear before the actual story. So some characters will be in the story, some wont, only time (and my muse) shall tell...     Yea, this was a bit longer, but I think it's a bit more enticing.   Lemme know what ya think! Eric

**GASP!**

Well... after close to a year, I started to write today...   It's weird I know, but I just sat down in front of Word on my computer and before I knew it an hour passed and I had a few pages written.   On some other notes, I moved some more stuff to my new place today. I hung around for most of the weekend, with the exception of switching my phone to a family plan (yay verizon!), going to an art gallery with Joe and doing some other errands in the morining, and going to my first gay bar in th

December 27th

As many may or may not know I haven't been around here as much. Between work and school, I've been loaded down with a lot of work and there's a reason for it.   I'm moving December 27th to my friends house right outside of Philly, PA. I have my own room and I also have a few job applications out and hopefully I'll hear back from them. It's a beautiful area and my roommates (the owner and his roommate) are really cool. The ones a philosophy professor which leads to some amazing conversations an

Intresting Perspective...

It's been awhile since I first started my look into the technology field and it's becoming a long process hehe because it seems that it's never ending.   My first computer was a 386 (if i recall it was a 15mhz speed), 8mb of ram Gateway with a whopping 100MB hard drive, a 5.25" floppy drive and a 1.5" hloppy drive. CD-Roms were a luxury (this was back in 1992) and ran windows 3.1 and ms-DOS 6.0 and it served my family well until 1998. In 1998, my family upgraded to a Compaq with a 233mhz proce

How to Start an Apocalypse

Catchy title no?   Well, i've been hellish busy lately and it's all thanks to my car. HA!   I've been doing over time hours at my job which is killing my social life, I've also been taking my days off to go to Eastern PA (Philly Area) and meeting people out there through a good friend of mine. The place where I bought my car is dicking around with getting me my registration and plates for my car, their excuse is that they need my union information. WTF?! Anyway I'm gonna get a hold of my man

Just a little update....

Sorry I haven't been around as much... I just have a lot going on and needed some time to think... so I'll write a blog to sum up everything that's going on...   It's been like the cold war at my house between me and my parents. I'm starting to let more of my social ideals and homoness be more prevalent at home which is rubbing my mom the wrong way so needless to say it's been a constant struggle between me and her. We have our up days and our down days, so needless to say I'm throwing myself

A Bit of a Tech Rant....

Well, this is gonna be a first, I'm ranting about technology for once instead of my life, issues, etc lol.   A few days ago I was taking a look at the iPad and realized how helpful it would be at my job because I've been lugging around my netbook since I've been doing a lot of paperwork on it (we're starting to switch over to all digital stuff which is easier IMHO). Lately though I've been getting irritated dragging around my netbook because it's so cumbersome, especially since I've been havin

Changes...

I've been drifting a bit when it comes to school lately, mainly because my job right now is changing. I just got a promotion from a Substitute in the residential program at Arc to a full-time staff member in what is soon going to be called Assisted Living. It's going to be nice especially since I already have a good relationship with the individuals in the program. When I went for my interview both me and the manager figured out that I've known most of the individuals since 1993.   Yea, 1993,

Christian...

...it's a name that's been going around and around my mind of late, but I have no clue why.   Maybe because it reminds me of a long lost love of mine, or maybe it's because I just like the name.     Anyway, I'm obsessed lately with this one song All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix. I have no clue as to why I'm obsessed with that either.     Things are going well on the job front, I applied to be a fulltime staff person at my job which means 40 hours (I'd also be an overtime sub as we

Freakout!

I have roughly 6 months left in my time in NJ, and its all happening way to fast. My mom told me that they have a real estate agent coming to give an estimate on the house and within two-three months, they're putting it up for sale. On top of it, they're going to be moving soon because dad got a job offer with his current employer to move possibly to Maryland. If he declines that he's going to consider the job offer he got in PA. Oh and they were also approved for another loan for a house where

Yea... Staples is a no-go....

Okay so, lately its been nothing but business with me. Between work and school and such I managed to find a job opening at staples for their easy tech.   WELL let me tell you something about it.   I went for an interview last week where they were talking about my computer experience and certifications and such, but this week I sat down with the General Manager (who was 45 minutes late to my interview with him.... really unprofessional IMHO). He gave me the low down on the job and what I woul

Six years

Your face still comes to me in my dreams, even then it's been more then 6 years since I last saw you. Since you last held me in your arms, since you took me and made me feel happy. It's been six years, and I still remember the name of the Axe body spray you wore the first time I met you. I remember how smart you were, and all that you taught me with computers. All my talents and ideals about computers, came from you, and now that I'm going to school for them, I have you to thank for it.   It f

Don't Panic.

The title says it all and those words mean a lot to different people. To me it's what I tell myself every morning when I wake up, before I walk into work, before I head out with friends and even before I open up a DomLuka story and wonder what cliffyness Dom has for me (Dom you're the bomb!).   Don't panic.   I got snowed in at work last week and while I had the worst night's sleep, I had fun helping the residents who needed it during the night, though needless to say I won't ever do an ove

Changes

Well lots have been happening as of recently, so I'll do my best to list them all here:   1. I'm single again, and this time it was a good breakup. We both agreed that things weren't the same anymore, that we were loosing touch with our original feelings, so we ended up just becoming good friends, so the way I see it I lost a lover and boyfriend, but gained a best friend out of it.   2. School started up again, so i'm gonna be busy with that again. I got my second round of testing next week

Damn it all to hell

Well today was a really shit tastic day...   I woke up this morning to a call I never wanted to hear, my dad called from the hospital my grandfather was at telling me that he died, not a good way to wake up in the morning, and really shitty news to boot.   So the next thing I do is call my area manager and tell him that I won't be at work Friday and Saturday because I'll be attending my grandfathers funeral. He said he was sorry to hear the news, but if I wanted to miss my shifts, I had to f

What crosses my mind....

Okay. I fell asleep a few hours ago but woke up cus my eyes were bothering me again (Pink eye... gotta love it.... growl). So now I'm lying in my bed, my netbook pulled out and i'm writing a blog. Go figure.   Hmmm well, let's see what all I managed to do today...   1. Download and install a new copy of Windows 7 that I bought for 30 bucks (yay student discount!!!). I got it up and running on my new hard drive, so now i'm golden with my computer.   2. I had to call out of work cus of my Pi

Long time...

It's been awhile since I last wrote a blog, and since I have something on my mind today I'll write it out and update ya!   I've been busy this week doing so much stuff for one job and training at my other job. In the mean time I've been Christmas shopping as best I could and finally I dealt with a snow storm and had to dig out my neighbor (they got snowed in and they couldn't open their doors lol).   The work at the garage has finally sent me over the edge and As of February 1st, I will no

Just a little update and some neat things...

Well... Thanksgiving has come and pass, so I figured now that I'm done living a life of luxury (who can pass up my grandmother's food?) that I'm going to start to switch to a healthy, organic diet where I can. I've been thinking about it and it's a bit of a change from what I'm used to, and also a bit pricey, but it should help me get back into shape. Another thing that I'm doing is cutting down big time on smoking. I love to smoke, but I know it's bad for me and can quite possibly kill me in th

Huh

Yea. Google has disappointed me with the Preview of Chrome OS. I thought it would be a good chance to break away from the system, yet its just another disapointment.   Anyway, I'm on trek to be done with my A+ Certification next week (Security and Professionalism are the last two chapters I have) then it's off to Network+ .   Oh and I also need a vacation really bad. I'm starting to have a constant headache (stress headache) and just feel really beat lately. I thought I was getting sick, but

Busy Busy Busy

So, I've been busy over the past few weeks (though it generally feels like months HA) mainly with school work and my jobs. This week I go in for my paperwork/physical session with my new job to make sure I'm healthy and not a medical threat to the clients I work with, which is cool because that means that I get a free physical (and I hope that the doc doing it is a hot one as well XD ) Once that's all done and over with, I start my trainings which include, but not limited to, crisis interventio

Better

It's an amazing thing really, how things can change over time. Just last week, me and my mom were getting along really well, joking about things and acting like there wasn't a problem in the world. I even switched my hours for work this week and cancelled some plans I made with friends so that I could spend some extra time with her yesterday (it was also her birthday). Today I spent the better part of the day doing school work (labs, reading, exercises, etc.) that I needed to do and came home a
