Anyone like audiobooks? I started finding myself loving them since my commutes somestimes take an hour or so via bus or train. I usually download them from Podiobooks.com because they're free but if I find a title that I really want, I'll goto Audible.com and listen to them there. I really perfer the ones from Podiobooks.com because they're usually made by really amazing artists who are trying to get their names out there (and there are some really AMAZING stories as well). Here's a selection of what I have downloaded lately: 1. 7th Son Books 1-3 (J.C. Hutchins) 2. Contagious (Scott Sigler) 3. Infected (Scott Sigler) 4. The Immortals (Tracey Hickman) And quite a few others... so have you listened to any lately? Or maybe know of a service like the ones I listed? Eric

Spaghetti Squash.... NASTY! Hmmm I think I found a new Diet as well... every time I get hungry I'll take a look at this thread and loose my appetite

Ha ha I only saw that AFTER I searched for the vid on youtube

...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 well ), benefits and such so that's good. Well... i'm off to tinker some more with the computer and wear my brain down for bed.

My talents? It's kinda hard to put on a video Working at my current job is letting me refine it but I've been always really good at reading body language and counseling people... I also can work with technology and understand it easy enough....

I own a Samsung Freeform on MetroPCS.... and I love it It's only given me a few issues but otherwise its a good phone

Thanks guys.... I'll take this into consideration This is why I love being on here... I can always get the best advice

I think this topic might be more suited for member q&a but if thats so... I'll move it later Well... I've been under a lot of stress lately and this past week I've been having a little mini freakout, and my friends have come to my support (yay friends lol) but I've also been doing things on my own to lower my stress level, so I was wondering... What do YOU do to lower your stress level? Eric

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 ever they move to. So yea, this all hit me today because they told me that today... so needless to say I'm a little stressed. I tried all of my de-stressing techniques and they aren't working so i'm gonna goto the bar and hang out with friends and enjoy (hopefully) karaoke night. I know I bitch about being in NJ, but honestly I'm not ready to leave yet. I have to much that's going on and not enough time to work through it all. Eric :S

I was watching the news before and there seems to be a firestorm of controvery flying over the intertubes... people are sharing their horror stories of being trapped in Europe (I'd think of it as an extended vacation TBH). Also there seems to be a bit of an argument brewing between the Transportation Ministers and the Airlines as well. Airlines are saying that it's safe to fly, the Ministers going "Are you Insane?" Given James's post on the silicates and it being damaging to jet engines, I would have to agree with the ban on airtravel for now... though it makes me wonder if we should perhapse start thinking of using blimps again... they seem less prone to issues like this Eric

The jersey is rubbing off on me... I was feelin very rat pack with this look.... But the reason why is because my job had a prom for the individuals I work with and I had to chaperon so they told us to dress up...

IMHO it's about the broad implications of this. Yes it has to do with her prom, but it can be used for anything beyond that. They tell someones who gay they can't goto prom (a school sanctioned event) and lo and behold they can do the same thing in another area (say baseball, soccer, school clubs, committees, etc). The idea that this can happen is what makes me think that it's good idea that she sues because then they can use that to cite in other cases they may be brought up. Think of the long term, not the immediate term. In any case I feel that this is more ammunition for us to use on bigger things.

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 would be doing, which is why I turned it down. 1) They didn't want me to repair computers, but sell things 2) The GM wanted to make sure I was okay with selling things that people MIGHT NOT NEED. Yes you read right, I was to sell things that people might not necessarily need. WTF?! 3) The chance of me actually fixing a computer would be slim to none mainly because I had sales goals to meet each week, and if I didn't meet them I would be written up and such. 4) They wanted to hire me at minimum wage (7.75 in my state) which is bull because of my previous management, retail and computer experience. 5) I had to upsell staples extended warenties, which are bull because they don't cover what they say they do.... think about that one.... So yea, after all of this, they were eager for me to come on and work for them and I turned them down saying that: 1) It wasn't what the job description online said I would be doing 2) That I was looking primarily for a job in the repair/tech field, not sales. I guess it was my fault really for not reading between the lines, but oh well it was good interview experience. So now i'm off to work and then out to Karaoke night at the bar. W00t! Eric PS - Stay away from staples in terms of tech... it's not worth the headache you'll get....

Good luck Kevin Not that you'll need it because things seem to be going so well for you

Grindr... HA! I have it on my iPod touch... it sucks as a dating tool but rules in terms of a game.... When I goto the bar I play find the homo with Gridnr... chances are they're there and I'll text them with a I see you (9 times outta 10 its someone I know lol) Cheers!

Very interesting Paya I look forward to reading your anthology now... I love stories like this

I was born in May.... two weeks late.... But I was born in time to be a Gemini... explains a lot no?

I loved this episode! So many meanings behind it, all of which could result in me going on hours upon hours of talking about their meanings lol. Still I love reading your blogs, they provide such an interesting take on things and helps ME discover some really cool things as well! Eric

That kinda reminds me a little bit of the Twilight posters I've seen.... in any case it's really cool Lace

Gah... two pics in one year.... I feel needy lol

It's the human condition to find conclusion in something, whether its end of times, or the end of a work shift. Since there's so much mystery about it, a lot of people, civilizations, etc build stories around it to make it easier to understand. Personally I'd take the scientific route and watch everything end in the big freeze Eric

I wouldn't eat liver.... But brains.... now that's a different story

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 feels so much longer, but it's only been six years since I last saw you, and I still miss you every day. I compare all guys I meet and date to you, and none have yet to measure up to you. I miss you a lot, and I know you'll never see this, but I hope that fate draws you to this. Eric

Heres a newer one of me.... without the famous hat
