The soundtrack of our lives
So i've been listening to a lot of music while i walk around and do stuff and it seems as if a soundtrack is playing to my life. It is like a movie when I sit here and look into the smiling faces of reality and melt away to the songs that play. It seems the thing that makes our reality is the conversations we have between people. Is that what defines who we are or just what we do? THe class i'm taking "Classical Rhetorical Theory" has got me thinking about the power of language and what it can do for people. It makes me reconsider how much i hat words and that they're stupid b/c if they are the only way that I can interact with people then I better get good at it. Sometimes when i think about my childhood I think of all the possibilities that I passed up that I could have done. I think about how I could have been really good at writing and really proficient at reading if I would have only read more and enjoyed writing more. If I would have seen writing as an avenue for expressing my ideas and not just something stupid that has to be done. I think the entire learning process is fucked up and everyone is doing it wrong. It also didn't help that I moved around my whole life. Back to my soundtrack and off to class. |

Work school woes
This work and school thing at the same time is hard... Remember when we went to school and then came home and did nothing? That was awesome. Our heads are cut out and attatched to people's bodies...it's awesome |

Birthday
I'm turning 21 this sunday and having a party saturday. Come to my house around 6 if you want to. Just tell me you're coming so we can make food for you. I already feel 21 it's just a technicality at this point. Either way it'll be nice to enjoy some shiner when i go to places. Peter, Adrienne, my dad, and i possibly others are going to be hitting up various strip clubs around san antonio. Let me know if you want in on any of that action. I'm not sure how much I'll like these clubs but I gotta go. It's kinda like finally going to see a movie that's rated R by yourself. Once you're that age it really doesn't matter which movie it is you just gotta go. It's my birthday!!! woo...hoo? |

ever lasting love
Is there even such a thing as ever lasting love? A love that does not waver in the face of temptation and desire. Didn't Gwenevere even throw away a true love for the thrill of Lancelot? How can we find such a thing? How can one look someone in the eye and say I will love you for the rest of my day? To never give in to the passions and wills of our temptations for all eternity. How? I hate girls. I hate what they do to me. How they change me and how I can't help but fall in love with them again and again. I hate how I swear off girls at night and wake up with one in my dreams. Why do they torment me so? Oh I sure do love them red hair girls. I'm just another boy from texas. Come on and take a spin, I got a brand new sandle.
Goodnight girls. |

Single Life and reflections
So I've been single for a ridiculous short amount of time and it basically sucks. I find myself looking for girls and wondering what they're thinking of me. Not being able to enjoy walking around the mall b/c I have to be "finding a girl". Getting upset with the constructs of society and the dating rituals that must come to pass for anything to happen. With all of this I wonder how easy it would be to find someone in the first place. If my soul mate walked past me every 2 weeks for the rest of my life would I see her? Would I even talk to her or know her name? A side from soul mates (what does that even mean?) just someone who I'm looking for. I don't know how hard/easy it is going to be to find someone, but I can't throw in the towel. Or maybe I should; maybe I should just give up on girls and just try to make myself happy for a while. I don't know how possible that is b/c everytime I go to sleep or look around I see the lack of a lady at my side. I want someone to be there to make those parts of my life complete and happy. Humans weren't meant to walk around without a partner. So I'm not looking or anything but if any one is out there, here's what i'm looking for: Someone... to make me laugh to cheer me up when i'm sad to be as smart as I am (it's not that hard people) to have the same sense of humor as i do to have similiar tastes as me (to some degree) that i'm attracted to to surprise me as much as I surprise them to talk to forever to take to a movie, play video games with, play basketball with, have a picnic with, or go see a play with |

random thoughts
Sitting here at work at 7:30 p.m. on a rainy day listening to Simon and Garfunkel. Peter in the background, "If this works I'm going to punch my computer in the nuts." I look at a picture of Cari and smile. I burp up papa johns pizza. I should make my own TV-Show, "Eric...unscripted". |

Hospital
Well I’m sitting here at the hospital while Peter tries to get the same surgery he had on his left lung performed on his right lung. It has been bothering him all week and he has been dreading the pain that comes with it. In other news I’m doing well, working on a fun project at work. Our new office space is supposed to be finished in 2 weeks so it will be cool moving up to the third floor and getting new office furniture. I really enjoy the people I’m working with, but hate the politics that come with working at an office. I’m trying to make the most of my time while Cari is away and have abandoned the feeling of sadness b/c I’ve already reached my quota for the year. I’ve enjoyed her being back in the same time zone as me. It’s nice to be able to pick up the phone and talk to her anytime I want to. It’s also nice to re-establish communication and clear things up between us. Looking ahead at the future there are many possibilities and all are scary. Thoughts of going right into the work force don’t seem that bothersome, but the opportunity costs do. I am still confused about what to do about Graduate School and the opportunities it brings. It would be nice to be a doctor and to be able to teach at a number of Universities, but I’m not sure I’d enjoy that. I find it easy to explain things to people; I have patience to do it. The problem is I don’t seek out teaching people, I find it bothersome to sit down and teach someone something. Enough for now, I’ll write more if work gets boring. I hate little kids. No, no I hate people that let their kids run wild! It’s a good thing we’re at the hospital b/c I might try to kill a kid or two before I get out of here. I should have listened to Peter and just stayed home. Turns out Peter wasn’t collapsed enough to get the surgery done so we got sent home. I guess we’ll just have to wait till he’s in more pain for them to fix him. Those bastards! |
