I'm goin with a steelers victory on this one, though you're right and they need to get their act together. Big Ben don't fail me now! Eric

I thought so too... now another thing to cross off my todo list when I travel lol

Hmmm... Do I smell an Eric in the midst? Or is that tequila?

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 shirtless) and I couldn't help but have a wave of envy wash over me and then, I began to feel like shit. So what do I do when I feel like that? Well, I start to go to random pages on the net, and in this case I went to one my friend linked me, the NOH8 campaign site with all the pictures and such, and that just made me feel worse. All the guys on there were GORGEOUS. I mean frackin gorgeous. So yea, my self esteem took a huge dump today and has yet to rise back to where it was before, and well, I have no one to blame but myself. I could start exercising more, and eating better, quit smoking, but I just have no will power to do it. I mean how the hell am I supposed to work on myself if I'm to damn lazy to do it? I'm not talking about joining a gym and religiously exercising and counting carbs like a bank counts money, but I mean I just can't force myself to do the smallest thing (sit-ups, curl-ups, push-ups, etc.). I'll get started on an easy regiment and within a week I loose focus and stop doing it. I know I know, this blog if full of self pitty, but I need to get it off my chest. Maybe then I'll do something about it. I can't rely on anyone but myself to do this, or hold me accountable for it, so I should stop blogging and start doing. Heh. Eric

Yup it was Lois Lowry! Thanks Lacey

The Giver... my all time favorite book... I forget who the author is, but I'll post it when I get home...

Note to self.... Billy is a dangerous person with the sword... don't let the cuteness fool you

Uhoh... guess it's Farm-ageddon!!!!!

Well... since I've been beta reading for Krista, I do have to say a little secret that she's been keeping from everyone.... *whispers* She's been using cliffhangers! She's want's the honor of being Queen of Cliffhangers! Now if you'll excuse me... I'm gonna go hide.... I think my author is gonna kick me something good......

You know... it's turning into a regular Animal Farm around here.... That leads me to wonder when the GA critters are gonna rise up and take over GA.... But I am glad to hear that everything's working out CJ! I really look foreward to reading more of your stuff... though any use of an Eric, or an Eric on tequila, or Eric like behavior must be approved by me (as it states in the Geneva Convention of 1949 Paragraph 1 Section 1 Words 1 and 2: Protected Persons). Take that Goat!

But! I got you a bottle of tequila! Come back!!!!

As we all know, CJ hasen't been his usual postwhorey self lately, what with being busy with life stuff, writing and etc.... So this had me wondering what ever happened to our beloved goat. Well, I did some cleaning the other day and this is what I found! I'm glad I had a camera with me cus I might have missed him cus he just disapered afterwards! I was out of Tequila, so that might be why he ran away so fast. Don't worry CJ! I bought some more

Happy Birthday!!!! Hope it's grand!

Editors? Making Mistakes? What blasphemy! Lookin forward to more stuff CJ! You're one of the best... even if you do torture Eric's and make them all evil and stuff So, will there be an appearence of an Eric in any of your new stories? Just curious

Your score: 16% *sigh* guess I'm not so innocent

Thanks James, but it just hasn't been a few weeks that this has happened, it's been quite awhile now. I'll start on a writing project and blamo, creative juices gone. So I weighed my options and found that they never seem to go away when I'm talking to an author about a story, and that I sometimes make them rethink a certain situation that they wrote. I also have a knack for remembering things from the very begining of a story and remind the author about it. I rahter put my energy into that and enjoy it, and occassionally write when I get the urge, but when it comes to discussing things about a story, I love it. Eric

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. What brought this all about? Well, Big Valley did. It was a story idea that I had and for the past week or so, I've been attempting to write it, but to no progress. What I found though was taht I like coming up with the idea, and working out different scenarios with it, and making them come out. Or, to put simply, I liked coming up with the idea and thinking it though, but it just didn't translate from the brain to paper. So yea. I'm not an author, but I guess someone who can help an author. Cheers! Eric

Seriously Steve, I'm bout ready to come out there and stick my foot up your butt! I tell you over and over that you're a catch and any guy would be lucky to have you and whether it's now or later, you never know. Hell Mr. Right could walk up to you tomorrow or he could walk up to you a few years from now, and in either case, it'll be so worth it. You are a true friend of mine, and that's why I'm blunt with you (that and I love being THE BITCH) but I also know that you'll get it through that thick head soon enough. Finally, remember that until Mr. Right comes along, you got your friends to keep you entertained and hopeful. Listen to us, we may know a thing or two <Hugs> Eric

I gotta go with the Steelers all the way... if I had to choose a second, it would be the Patriots. Yea you were expecting me to root for NY teams huh? Well... lets just say I can't stand the Jets or the Giants.... BLEH!

*I'm one to refute the erros in someone's argument like that of Mr. Thomasson, but it would be to easy in this case* All I have to say is that I'm sorry that someone can be as blind as Mr. Thomasson can still serve in the public like him and that like minded people cannot see past their own fears and shortcomings. As someone who's argued both sides of this, I can say that Harvey Milk isn't perfect, but he's still one of the main LGBTQ Role Models that I look up to and draw inspiration from because of how passionate he was and how strong he was when it came to governing like he did. I think the purpose of this bill isn't to talk about his 'Personal Philosophies' but that he listened to the people and represented his constituents to the best of his ability. He was a man of the people and helped as best he could, and that's the idea behind it. THe other idea isn't about being gay, but that anyone can rise to the position he had and further also that if you believe you can succeed. I hope this measure passes because of all the good it will do. Eric

Since it's a Microsoft Certification Course, I can get licensed M$ for free as long as i'm in the class, but it's still a bummer being forced to use something you don't really like.

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 use), but then I got the shocker that made me weep inside (well not really, but it still stinks). I have to use Internet Explorer since it's the only browser compatible with the website I have to use for my class. This made me cringe inside, I HATE I.E. and find it rather lacking in different areas. I was also told that I have to use MS Office for my papers and such and that they have to be in DOCX format, which means I cannot use OpenOffice. Sadly, today is a day where I will be installing the software I need and hoping I don't get brainwashed by M$ Anyhow... off to do some classwork!

That's so cool Tomon! You gonna share all the stories from your travels across Japan?

That's easy.... Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day I had a lot of friends and my dad who were deployed for the military and well, this song always makes me think of them. MTV'S Music Video

First off, I am not commenting as a member of the moderation team, and second off, you got a lot of things wrong with this post. 1. I have never deleted or edited a post in a blog, and personally I try to stay away from yours. 2. I never have and never will joke about prescription drug abuse, i'm dealing with some of the issues associated with it and it's not fun. 3. You arn't the first person to say I look like the guy from mythbusters, so thanks I take that as a compliment Now. Just do me a favor and stay the hell away from me don't write/blog/pm/post about me because I don't want my name dirtied by your pathetic existence and excuse for a life.
