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

Mozilla 1 Microsoft 0!

Ima update this later today because I'm dead tired (and I have an ebook to read... it's really good!) and gonna pass out, but I'm happy to say that the Mozilla Foundation (i.e. Firefox, Thunderbird, etc.) gave a nice big FUUUUCK YOU to Microsoft today.   Turns out that from previous versions to now of Firefox, they had a way to disable on a massive scale certain addons that could mess with the security browser (which is a good thing bad thing). Recently, Tuesday if I'm not mistaken, Microsoft

Good News, Pinched Nerves and Computer Failures

Okay, to start off on a positive note, I had my one year anniversery with Matt over the weekend where we did a whole bunch of things and he got me one of the cutest thigns ever, a fishey (and the tank, food, etc.). I decided to name my fish Sushi because I love irony of late and thought it would be in good taste (no pun intended).   Also I got to be a computer genius by helping my sister connect to the internet (our router was FUBARED dunno why, but it's not my fault! I SWEAR! ) from memory.

I look to him

I feel like a fat ugly slob who can't do anything for himself....... and this is why.........       I was at work today when the guy who lives across the street came out to get his dog. The guy, who i've met before, is a little older then me by a few years, cept there's some BIG differences between me and him. It bothered me to no end today after I saw him and waved hi and he waved back. His damn good looks, ripped body just stood there. He brought his arm up, his muscles flexing (yes he was

End of one, begining of another

After much thought and soul searching, I find myself no longer wanting to write. It's like all my creative jucies just rolled up and died on the operating room table. Though that's not to say that I'm not intrested in the whole process of writing. A lot of my passion I found is wrapped up in Beta reading and helping an author figure something out, you know make them think things out when they get stuck, or explain something that a reader might question, to me THAT'S where my passion lies.   Wh

Janus

As you may or may not know I am an avid supporter of open-source technology, in that I use as much as I can. My computers usually only use Windows as the OS, but the rest of the time, I use open source software, like FireFox, OpenOffice.org, Songbird, Pidgin, etc.   All of that is gonna change, well has changed today. I was informed that as part of my certifications, I have to use Windows as the OS (not an issue since I've been beta testing Windows 7 RC1 and found it stable enough for everyday

Eric + Xanax = Baaaaad!

Well, the past few days have been fun, but also there's been an overwhelming dark cloud hanging over my head, to which I had to go to my doc and talk to him about it. As you may (or may not know) I have a serious anxiety disorder that, if untreated, can lead to a seizure like panic attack. Unfortunately the medicine I was taking for awhile to help with the anxiety started to cause anxiety.   I was becoming addicted to it.   I talked to my doc and he told me to come in ASAP yesterday which I

What a Rush!

Okay, a lot has happened in the past two days, so I'll sum it up by day   Friday - Got my first check from amazon for stuff I sold. Yea I know not as big news, but I was happy with it I also made some duct tape rings for me and Matt (it was an inside joke between us).   Saturday - Spent most of the day working and waited until Matt came over to pick me up from work where I gave him his ring   http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&a

Next Week

Next week is gonna start some major changes for me. I'm going back to school to start my MCSA/A+/Network+ computer certifications which is going to be a big step for me given my past history. These certifications will let me get a decent IT job and hopefully let me pay off my debts, student loans, get a car and ultimatly move out of the house (yay!).   For those who don't know, the past three years to me have felt like an on going episode of House M.D. where I came down with a mysterious illne

School Certification

Okay so I lied, I won't be going for my A+/MCP/CCNA. It turns out that Brookdale offers a better course then that for the same amount of money, which my Grant covers.   The program which I will be starting is the MCSA/A+/Network+ Certification course... which means I can be the uber computer geek I always knew I could be lol.   Well... i'm off to blow up my printer... I need to start getting stuff done for school... which is in 1 month

It's been awhile!

Wow, it's been awhile since I last blogged, but then again, life has been keeping me busy (and so has World of Warcraft). Just cus I've been quiet on Chat and the boards doesn't mean I haven't been around, just.... lurking really     Anyway...   I'm going back to school, vocational school that is. I got a grant to go for my A+/MCP/CCNA certification which is geek speak for being able to fix computers, network homes and small businesses, and troubleshoot windows. It's a good course which sh

Toothache

I have a massive toothache coming in, called my wisdom tooth. It's the last one, but the most painful one, thankfully it's coming in normally (and being a pain).   I would've had my wisdom teeth taken out awhile ago, but since I was suffering from seizures, my dentist didn't want to risk the pain and such to yank them then. By the time they were under control, I lost my dental coverage and have no way to pay for them to be taken out. FOr now, all I can do is just take a vicoden when the pain g

Crazy Little Thing

Well, I have a job interview Monday with a program that deals with developmentally disabled people. If I get it (and I hope I do) I'll be working as a substitute and work with these people at various group homes. It'll be challenging and a lot of fun, better pay, and hopefully better hours then I get now at my old job. On another note, I also have an appointment with my rehabilitation job coach to start looking at different programs I can get in and basically go back to school. It'll be fun ther

Happy Blog Time!

Well... be aware everyone... well mainly those in New Jersey.... I got my license back! It's been two years since it was taken away from me due to a medical condition but after a struggle to get it back, I have it again! I'm really happy with it because I finally have the ability to drive (with a car and insurance that is lol) and can start making headway on becoming more independent.   A lot of job's that I was seeking required someone to have a license, and now that I have it I will be going

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

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

Black and White

Symbolic no? Black and White... odd and even... that's what it's been like for me lately.   Yesterday I was happy as a clam, planning on taking a vacation with Matt, making plans to goto a gay prom with him, and best of all spend some time with him. He's been kinda down, and we decided that taking some time and sleeping over and such would be good not only for him, but for us.   Then my mom comes into the picture, the she-devil of a bitch. She calls me three times in a row, and she knows whe

Gay Prom and other stuff....

I got a call from a friend of mine today saying that there's gonna be a gay prom next Friday and that I (and Matt lol) were invited. He's gonna be hosting it as Lady Eve (one of the Drag Queens I work with lol) and it should be fun. Last prom I went to was 5 years ago at my High School, and Matt never went to one, so I'm gonna convince him to go with me   Also in a month, me and Matt will be taking our first vacation by ourselves probably to NYC or Ocean City, NJ. It should be fun and excitin

Military Rant - Be Warned

Lets get the hell out of the world politics and just focus on us. It's not like we have any credibility left after the Bush Administration, so why bother trying to make the world a better place? I mean for god sakes, what gives us the right to meddle in the affairs of other countries? Is it because we have a stable governemnt elected by the people? Well, la de frackin da. We have NO right what so ever to get involved in another country unless we are asked to. That's basic civility.   Now onto
