Another Month Quickly Passes By...

That's right... another month quickly passes us by on the downhill run to our inevitable end. I notice how fast time goes by and it sickens me.

Enough with the cheer....

Halloween is over and not one fucking kid stopped by for free candy!!! What the hell is wrong with children. Especially in Piedmont where half the people are living on welfare... that's free. When I was a kid... we tried like hell to bring home as much as we could possibly haul in a small garbage bag.. We ate sugar for days upon days. Now I am going to have it around while it silently calls my name. Now everybody is having an alternative halloween consisting of shit that doesn't reference anything evil!!!! Pussies!!! Marnie tells me it's not about evil but safety. Well... get off your lazy asses and walk with your goddamn kid for once. Unlike myself... my fucking house could be on fire and I wouldn't move. My daughter wouldn't walk with me anyways... I'm not cool. But that's beside the point.

I say let's get rid of Halloween (because of low participation) and let's have a second Christmas. Well... next holiday Thankgiving.... getting fatter by the second.

A Drink @ The Pub....

Saturday night, the wife had a "party" where you buy stuff, so I decided to call Ross to see if he wanted to go drink sum beers. I met Ross down in Sturgis and we went to the "Loud American Roadhouse". Of course the times I go there, there are no bands playing. BUT... since Halloween is Monday they had a costume party.

We get down there at about 7:30 and there were a few there. The waitress who served us was dressed like a knocked up schoolgirl with a bloodylip with a name tag that said "Iona Klit". Clever... Ross and I are drinking Bud Light if you are wondering. The guys who worked there, Joe was dressed as a large breasted big woman with a skirt with fishnet stockings. Loverly!!! Another guy was dressed as a nerd with an atomic wedgie stretched over his head, unfortunately for this youngster he didn't realize he's gay.

Around 8:00, two of the finer intoxicated Sturgis post high schoolers ended up getting into a (sic) fist fight in which punches were thrown but none landed next to our table. To Ross' and I, it was the highlight of the night. The fighting punks were 86'd.

Drinking some more... more costumed fools arrive. You see your garden variety costumes to a guy dressed a a doobie. Later, 5 Zoros arrive (Gay Blades). There was a Mr. Clean (which I thought was a massage dude from the 50's),

Later, I talked with Tammy, Raye, Stacey, and after awhile Ross trots home. I left around midnight buzzed up nicely.

I don't write details very good do I? Anyways, gotta get up for work in the morning.

Eric

The Weak Will Follow....

Some people might see me as anti-religious. As I have said before, Religion is proverbially bad in it's context and spirituality is good. In other words I am Pro spirituality. Now before you get your Sunday undies in an uproar, I have nothing against any denomination of worship.... except for Fred Phelp and his band of Baptist Fuckers. It's the people who practice such worship that piss me off. People who practice for themselves and not the betterment of others, (ie: most over the top born-agains = VAIN) and the people who interpret the word of the Bible to prove a personal and yet discriminate point of view.

My mock term for these junkets of carbon is "Do-Gooder". Because they think they are doing everybody a favor by just being around and talking. Their word is gold and everybody else who has an opposing opinion is either a sinner or just plain stupid. Now if anybody has grown up Catholic like I did and had to deal with the nuns of a summer catacism will know the wisdom of these fine women and that they were eager to answer any question you might have on the ways of being a good (fuck I hate this word....) Christian. My take on what (uhg..) christians are suppose to be like were that they forgive and forget. You rarely see that from any (grrr...) christian. They are the most self centered people (The American Christian) and about what they consider to be the word of Jesus. What ever Jesus said should be the ultimate law. First of all, nobody knows what Jesus has ever said because what he might have said was said over 2,000 years ago. For God's sake, I can't remember any significant saying I might have said from last week. And if somebody remember's what I said, it isn't exactly how I said it. Geddit?

So back to what most "Do-Gooders" are like... Anybody who tells you that you need to find God... UH, UH.... let me finish, with the exception of a preist, pastor, pope, blah, blah... Should hold their fucking tongue. It is not up to the said "do-gooder" to meddle into anybody's spiritual world other than their own. That's why I believe spirituality is a private matter not public like the President and his right wing fuckers want you to be.

Being (ick..) Christian in this country NOW is mostly about stature inside your collective church. It's not about the celebration of God and the ways of Jesus Christ.... STATURE!!! So, the next time a person wants to tell you about what they think the Bible says.... Tell them to "fuck off... I'll read it later and figure it out myself."

The Effects of the Weather

This should get you rollin' on the floor laughing.....


Then...............






Oh My Lord......Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Take a look at how you could possibly change in nearly two decades....


Eric

Hmmm...Interesting...

Me, always being the one who picks and chooses his music ...well. I can honestly say I'm not a big fan of Christian Rock. The visions of Stryper from the 80's is a lasting image that still gets a laugh when you think about it. Black and Yellow spandex...Ha ha ha.

But I will tell you I have been wrong before but rarely admit it. Now I'm not advocating anything here okay BUT.... I heard this Finnish band called "HIM" on XM today playing a catchy and addicting song called "Wings Of A Butterfly" . Very well written tune for a Christian Band. The reason I have such a bad taste for Christian Pop/Rock is because they are talking of religion and making big bucks from it. Hypocrites???? Maybe. I don't know. But I always thought that using a moniker to get famous was cheesy and tactless...I still do. Doesn't mean I can't listen to one or two songs.

Anyways... Check out their website to hear this song, it will play as soon as the site loads up.
Here it is, click here ---> "HIM"

Take it easy brothers and sisters....

The Shame of Religion...

At first tonight writing "the Art ..." I was out of ideas for something to write about. Until I read a story in the Friday Journal .

Sure, you have the right to protest anything in America. Protest the war but not the men and women ordered to serve. And certainly DO NOT protest a funeral of a fallen soldier to spread your religious hate message. These Cocksuckers (forget the pun) from Rev. Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan. should have their asses thoroughly kicked for the actions they played out at National Guard Chief Warrant Officer Paul Pillen of Keystone's funeral. Protesting a funeral, What the fuck!!!!!!

These assholes celebrate the deaths of U.S. soldiers in Iraq as punishment from God for the iniquity they say has befallen the U.S., particularly because of its tolerance for homosexuals. That is plain IGNORANCE. Of all the hunting seasons we have in this state why can't we shoot pricks like these. Extreme religion what a concept!!! What is it with these bastards. Don't they have time in their lives for shit that is more contructive? They could organize a annual festival for pushing a handicapped person down. Or shoot paintballs at a Special Olympics somewhere. That's what I compare these lowly asses skill level at. They want to travel to Huron to protest the other fallen soldier's funeral. Hopefully somebody gets a hold of one of these fuckheads and thrashes them.

All in the name of interpretation!!!! We can only pray and hope these fuckers die in a fiery auto accident 4 hours from the nearest fire department and another hour and a half from the nearest hospital. Jesus H. Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Art of the Dirty Word...

All of us cuss. We do it in anger, in surprise, in pain, in amazment. No matter how you look at it, it's a part of the way we do things. I swear pretty good but not as good as some people. Let's take Pam. Of the people who know Pam knows Pam swears awesome. Even better than I. Rosie is also quite good. Julie does good also. Barry and Ross do it well also. Everybody has a certain way of doing it and it becomes part of them.

Thinking dirty is different from talking like a trucker. And why do we associate the freight industry with swearing. I've heard people say, "He swears like a sailor". I'm sure folks in other branches of the armed services do it just as good.

Do people who swear look ignorant? Some do. The young punk trying to look cool by saying "fuckin' this, fuckin' that." Not so much ignorant as more stupid. Is swearing a sin. I say no. I'm sure it's not in the commandments or the Bible. "Thou shalt not say asshole"

Not all words are accepted in the annuls of everyday swearing. The "C" word is unacceptable. The "CS" word is bad but not as bad as the previous word. I don't use them.. well, the latter maybe.

Words of wisdom... Don't be a shit and fuck up like an asshole, you bitch.

Words to live by...

Is It Really The World Series???

American's have one big flaw... They think the world revolves around them, myself being one of them. I don't think the world revolves around myself but at one time I did. Everything is big in America, that's because we want everybody to perceive it that way.

Let's take sporting events in this country. The World Series, The SUPER Bowl, World Champion Cowboy, world Champion Knitter... We say world because we think the world revolves around us. The Little League World Series is just as it said.. World Series. Because they have two pools of teams, one International and one North America. They duke it out until they last team stands. the way it should be.

Professional Sports are different. The World Series is played between two divisions : The National League & The American League. I see no world league so it is arrogent of the league to say "World", because they only play teams from two countries. No team from any other country other than Canada. It should be called National American Chapionship Series. American football is the same. The National (again No World word exists) Football league plays teams from only 1 country, America. So how can the Super Bowl Clampions be considered "World Champions? They can't!!! Canada has it's own League and now Europe does to. In the end, all the football teams need to playoff to get to play from other country teams. Then that will decide who is the true "World Champion".

The only league on the planet to do this is Soccer. They have the World Cup. Teams who represent their country play until a Champion is the final winner. A cool idea.

But us self serving Americans can't have it any other way. Let them have their little title. Most intelligent people know the truth and just consider it arrogance.

Spare the Rod... Spoil the Child....

Now most of you have a certain method of disciplining your child. Time out is a popular one of today. Grounding is some what effective. When I was a kid and I fucked up...I got the belt. The belt isn't popular these days because of the alleged psychological effect it has of children, (not proven) And the passive way we treat kids.

I believe, not matter how much we coddle and protect, our kids will someday figure out that they can almost get away with murder. If I backtalked my mother when my father was around...Holy shit!!! He turned into a goddamn madman!!! To keep from seeing him in the rage we put him in well.....we didn't back talk mom. Things were just better if you didn't piss off the 'ol man. Did I turn out like a browner version of Jeffrey Dahmer????? NO!!! It didn't scar us for life? Absolutlly not. Respect is earned I and still respect my father even though he's been dead for 14 years....and I sometimes still fear him.

The belt served it's purpose. The government does the same type of fear mongering with it's sentences to violent crimes. You kill with malice, damn sure the tax payer will put you to death. Rape... and it's twenty years of worrying whether or not your prison name will be "Alice B. Tightly".

Don't get me wrong here. There is a fine line between discipline and abuse. The use of a cigarette is not discipline. There are a lot twisted bastards out there who should not be minding a child. If they would have gotten the belt instead of a close fist beating well... who knows.

My father was a mighty man when I was young. But was actually smaller than me as I'm an adult. It doesn't mean if he were still alive that I would ever try and kick my father's ass. He still enstilled fear in me and the thought of a good spanking when he was dying. I call that respect.

The End of the Hunt...

Now that the Mountain Lion Season is over and the hunters who shot cougars can compare private parts sizes and how far they can piss without the aid of any wind, the Game, Fish and Parks needs to manage this season with a little more conviction the next time they choose to have this event. Giving hunters a season with really no rules and thought out regulation is just dangerous. Tell a hunter he can kill indiscriminately, he/she will. This is a season that needs the public input not just those effected by the animals.

I responded to a letter in the Journal by a nutjob with a brain he tries to crap out every morning after the coffee. What a dipshit this guy was. I'll link his letter here --> Dumbfuck (Click on the word "Dumbfuck" to the left and scroll down to the letter entitled "Open Season) For those who read it... People like that should scare the hell outta you and you should run away!!!!!!!!!. Okay.... This was my reply --> Eric's Intelligent Reply (Click on the words "Eric's Intelligent Reply" and scroll down to the 11th opinion entitled "Bad Mix") I hope Mr. Ericks writes more shit to the editor because I have his number on that. Well, with that....

Oh... Jenny, I'm having trouble with my goddamn e-mail again, The link you need to click on is down this page. But before you play the voice mail, you'll notice the music player underneath "View my complete profile" on the left hand side toward the top. On the top of the player you'll see two small buttons, one white and one with a red X...Click on the one with the red X, that should stop the music player from playing.

so here's the email I received:

Read the story first then listen to the clip.

On a recent Spurs trip, we were asking one of our sponsors who works at Jack in the Box some funny stories or experiences with the company. The funniest story he had was when an operations manager was late for a meeting and called his boss to tell him he was running late. As he was leaving the voice mail message, he witnessed an accident and went on to provide "play by play" of the incident. After telling us the story, he promised to send us a copy of the voice mail and here it is. This is the actual voice mail message. It was passed along and forward so many times within Jack in the Box, it crashed their voice mail server."

Let's hope this works -E. Click Here

An Arab Nuclear Threat????

Reading the Rapid City Journal, I scanned across Sam Hurst's commentary. For those of you who haven't the slightest idea who Sam Hurst is... I'll explain. Mr. Hurst is a documentary filmmaker/journalist/liberal/ kook/ intelligent guy here in Western South Dakota. He came from California to live among the many Christian/Do-gooders/ Right winged wacko's/ Hunters/etc./etc./etc... obviously with the notion that he wasn't going to catch the amount of shit tossed his way by the Do-gooders who have an opinion and write to the editor of the Rapid City Journal!!! (Gasping for air.....) Sometimes Sam nails it on the head of the tack, other times he's trying to nail it from a couple of hundred yards away with a blind throw.

In Sam's latest rant, he's concerned with Osama bin laden and the possibility of his organization stealing a nuclear weapon and using it someplace. While most of us don't think of shit like that and it crosses our minds like a moth farting in your ear, nonetheless Sam is worried. (Read it here and then page back to return Sam Hurst . ) I'm sure people on both coasts might pass a fleating glimpse of this notion but us here in the middle of this large country... humph...

Now back in the late 70's and all through the 1980's... maybe. In 1982, on the basis of nuclear arsenals, Western South Dakota would have been classified the 4th most nuclear weaponed powerhouse on the planet. With more weapon silos per 50 square mile radius... we were fucking jacked up!!! But our worries were all about the Soviet Union not a low tech faction such as al Qaeda. bin Laden doesn't want world domination, he's not looking for real estate. He wants to kill as many American as he can and destroy our way of life. (Apparently he's not into microbrewed beer and hot wings like the rest of us are) None the less, Sam take a valium...fuck, take two and lest not worry. Drink some white wine and listen to smooth jazz... everything will be fine.

The Spongebob Deal...

Thanks to Mollie (ipodmomma) , I found the word I was looking for in reference to the Spongebob situation, "Silliness". That show is very silly. If they were toask for a definition of silly, that would hit the nail on the head. It freaked me out...

When I was a kid we had only the repeated violence of the Road Runner, The Flintstones and other shit. The new wave of "silly" cartoons is cool. Goddamn, Spongebob has a new fan!!!!

Eric

What the Fak, part deux

Have any of you every sat and watched, "Spongebob Squarepants?" Holy Shit. You have to be pretty fucked in the head to create something so weird. Once you start watching you can't stop, it's like visual methamphetamines for children. Wow!!! The military needs a program like this with subliminal messages in it. There quota for enlistment would go thru the roof. Wow!! I feel kinda violated after watching that...

The Goddamn Recliner Made Me Do It....

Once again, getting home from work, I sat in the recliner. What happens when I sit in the recliner???? I fall asleep. Crashing hard for a couple of hours thus making it very hard for me to fall asleep thus fucking up my sleep schedule. Enough of the thus'...

Another note, Marnie asked me last week, why can I write the stuff I write here, but not talk like I write. A good question. I feel it's easy to write what I would like to say. With writing, you can correct mistakes as opposed to talking, one slip of the tongue or a phrase can piss people off. A simple misconstrusive sentence can be a fucker. I don't talk well also. that's why I'm not a fan of the phone. Talking on the phone is like getting poked in the eye with a hot poker. I would prefer to pull my own teeth out and hammer them back in with a large shoe.

I tend to stutter when I try and explain something. I'm getting better but it's still a struggle for me. I suffer from hearing loss in one ear which makes it hard for me to hear people. Most people don't know this because I keep it to myself. I had Dr. Schauer, at work, look into my ear and she said it looked like a train wreck. Thanks Bobbi for the analysis. But she's right.

Since I have started writing my thoughts and opinions, I am liking it more and more. Most of my opinions to the newspaper are sarcastic in nature. Reason being, I pick the people with the dumbest opinion and try and make them see the ignorance in what they wrote. I get calls at home from folks who love what I write.

Anyways, I'm going to try and get some sleep. ***Reminder to self - Avoid the recliner after work... Don't sit in it, don't look at it, just pass on by!!!***

Eric

Hello again... Hello.

After taking a few days away from this posting...I'm back. I feel I've beaten a dead horse with the subjects previously written. So I decided to cool off a couple of days and see what I could think of.... and I have. Today's bitch session is going to concern..... CELLULAR ONE.

Marnie and I went into town to get groceries Friday Night. We decided to ask some questions at the Cellular One kiosk in the war zone known as Wal-Mart. As most of you know of my contention for that fucking place, Again it was busier than hell. Friday, Wal-Mart, what the fuck was I thinking. None the less, When Marnie took a trip to Albequerque a couple of months ago, a friend of the person she went with gave Marnie an extra camera phone they had and were not using. Since Cell One was eventually switching to the same service, Alltel Network, in the near future maybe we could possibly get this phone switched over and voila... Kahlyn is happy with a camera phone. Ok....

We asked the 12 year old working there about the phone and the possibility of maybe getting it activated. He tells us to bring in the phone and they would do it. I also wanted to get an extra to our current plan which enabled me to download some different ringtones to my Motorola. Bingo, addition $3.99 and I would have this service in "24 hours" as this pimple face prick tells me." Asd I go through the day thinking, " Cool, this should be a blast". I try and access the network to start the fun of the ringtones and shit, "Access denied or Network not available" would flash on my phone display. Frustrated I decide to take my phone to the kiosk and let Howdy Doodie fix my phone.

We go back to Wal-Mart Saturday night before going to a co-workers house for a post-wedding deal and meal. Again, the same punk kid is there with his clip on tie and the brut after "shave". I nicely ask that "here is the phone you had told us last night you could configure for us... blah, blah, blah..." Saturday night, there was another punk with him working telling us that that phone can't be configured because it's an Alltel phone. Confused and starting to get frustrated with the high school brigade and this mother fuckers attitude, I ask... "Okay, You are saying that since this company is going to Alltel as of last Monday AND you are switching people to Alltel phone plans that you are actually Cell One until March 06?" He says yeah. This is where I start to think that "Archie and Jughead are out of thier fucking minds!!! Coming to terms that the swithcing of the phone for Kahlyn is a fat fucking ZERO, I ask about the extra plan that I paid for the previous night with the ringtones and stuff. The new guy tells me that my phone is outdated for that particular function. As I feel the rage inside me beginning to rise and the temptation to split the brow of this youngster telling me of my old phone. I turn to Marnie and say "let's talk to the bastard who sold me my phone because I'm going to kick his ass."

Wanting to walk away concerned for what I might say to the two Cell One fucks, Marnie asks one last question which made sense about the Kahlyn phone switch. She asks "If we are on Alltels network now, which uses some of Verizon's towers etc.. And that the phones we have uses all of Alltels towers if we switche dplans now... Why would we need to re-program the Alltel phone to the system up here if you are offering to switch Cell-One plans to Alltel plans which has a plan of Nationwide roaming, meaning that we are not charged a roaming fee throughout the country. We technically didn't need to re-program to Cell-one towers because we wouldn't get a roaming charge from the Alltel phone." The punk gave us the rigga-ma-row. I openly say, "That's bullshit" and we walk away steaming!! I say to myself... "Fast food workers and cellular phone salesman, a blight on the integrity of America"

We are going to call someone else about our cellular phone needs Monday. I've come to the conclusion that mobile phone workers are placed into the work force with no info training concerning their product. Just like the "cosmetic counter lab coat wearing saleslady" Do you really think she's has a formal education on the science of makeup application and forensics? I'll give that a big, fat, fucking NO!!! They are semi good-looking liars making you believe they are actual scientists. Bullshit!!!

Punching Out!!!!

Can't Make Up My Mind!!!!

After looking the web for a blog template I liked, this one is close. I'll keep looking for one that I can't live without. I looked on the erisfree.com website and there is one there but I'm having trouble making it fit under that pesky blogger bar at the top of the page. A little more HTML learning and I'll get it

In and Out Like the Tide....

I was thinking tonight about some friends that I haven't seen in awhile. Not close but for a time close enough. It's funny how friends drift in and out of your life. Most of therm move away and start anew with others while the ones who really count are close.

I have some friends whom I haven't seen and miss their ways. Jim was one I haven't seen in 5 or 6 years. Shit I haven't a clue where he is now. Jim and I used to hang alot in Deadwood where we both worked. He graduated college got married and was gone just like that.

Tim was a friend of mine and some of my close current friends. We'd party hard together, Tim Barry and myself. Fun times. Again like Jim, Tim met a woman got married and moved away. I haven't seen Tim in 6 or 7 years.

I have a couple others that have come and gone. Never contacting each other, probably never will. Most live far enough away that we will never cross paths.

With new jobs and adventures come new friends. I hope they don't fade in and out. My closest friends I hope to always have, Barry and Ross. Wheen ever we do stuff together it's mostly with those two. We drink together, tell bullshit stories and shit.

My best friend is Marnie, we do most everything together. Spending as much time as we can together when we don't work. We share many thing together and are better people because of it. We argue like most friends do but always are sorry for it in the end. This friend will be with me until the end. Marnie is my wife and who could have a better friend.

We Know You're Guilty...............

In the news again is the woman who killed the teacher from South Middle School. Of Course, she is pleading not guilty. I know she has a right to a fair trial but we all know you did it, so why plead "Not Guilty"?

Now for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about. Dawn Around Him, 22, of Kyle, South Dakota, is charged with vehicular homicide in the death of Andrew Crocker, a middle school science teacher. Around Him is accused of driving a stolen van while drunk when she struck and killed Crocker, who was jogging Sept. 6 at 6 a.m. in a construction zone on North Haines Avenue. in Rapid City. Around Him is charged with vehicular homicide, receiving a stolen vehicle, hit and run with death or injury, driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, no drivers license, a seat-belt violation and driving on the wrong side of the road. The first three charges are felonies and carry a combined maximum penalty of 22 years in prison and $22,000 in fines. The other charges are misdemeanors, punishable with local jail time and fines.Her bond is set at $500,000, and she remains in Pennington County Jail in Rapid City, South Dakota.

She was caught with the van and she was shit-faced. She must pay the price for her irresponsibility. Eat the fucking crow and fess up!!!!!!!!!

Eric

Let's Talk About Local Radio...

Local Radio... In the Black Hills, local radio down right sucks. Programming a second grader could improve on. The Black Hills needs a radio station that plays just current stuff. All the goddamn radio stations play classic shit. The Rolling Stones, Led Zepplin, all those other bands who are already played exclusively on 100.3 the Fox, where they should be!!!

The Fox and 92.something old play all that shit. Don't get me wrong. Classic rock can be good as long as you don't hear it every ten minutes and on 4 different stations. I'm so sick of the fucking Beatles. The Beatles haven't been a band for 36 years. Let them die!!! the only thing good about the Fox is Bob and Tom

Magic 93.9.... What a piece of shit. These fuckers rely on the talents of non music people.... Athletes!!! Local Athletes at that!!! The official basketball player of 93.9... Whatever. And their non funny banter.... Jesus..........

93.1 - Bubble gum gangsta rap and Brittany "trailer trash" Spears

Christian radio.... uhg!!!!!!!!! The message creeps me out.

KSKY - could be really good if they chop their play list of the Old Shit!!! They play great new music then ruin it with, again, old music.

XRock.... This is the epitamy of radio stations. Metallica all the fucking time. Staind - All the fucking time. It gets old!!!!

So folks, buy yourself an XM radio and enjoy the music!!!!!

Tree Hugger vs. Animal Killer....

Okay, with all the hype here about the mountain lion hunting season and all who are against it, I'm going to explain my thought on Tree Huggers (against) vs. Animal Killers (for)

First of all, I believe the South Dakota Game,Fish and Parks started the hype and fear mongering over the mountain lion issue. When people start complaining about Mountain BIKERs, Mountain Hikers will they decide to have a season to exterminate them. As you can see, I'm not happy about the season and felt it unnecessary. There hasn't been a recorded mountain lion attack in well over 45 years. But my view doesn't constitute me being a tree hugger. I'll explain.

Most extreme tree huggers value the life of other species more than human and themselves.. Animal killers or hunters hunt for the fun and challenge of it occasionally killing fellow hunters on rare occasions. Take the situation in Minnesota awhile back. A hunter kills 6 other hunters because he didn't like the tone of the land owner who was telling him to " Get the fuck off my land or I'll kick your fucking ass". The killer hunter was Hmong and probably didn't know that "Get the fuck off my land..." meant to leave.

I'm not a hunter because I choose not to. It's just too unpredictable of a past time. Plus having to drag a carcass miles to a vehicle isn't fun to me. Hunters drink beer and eat junk food. I can go along with that. Getting up at 4:00 in the morning on my day off to walk for miles and possibly not see a thing. Not for me.

I'm not a tree hugger, mainly because I enjoy a thick slice of prime rib every so often. I could care less that somebody is wearing animal hide to keep warm. Shit, people have been doing this longer than America has been a country. I prefer to wear something a little lighter and easily purchaseable, that's just me. Toufu is disgusting!!! Another reason I'm not a tree hugger is because I hate PETA. The organization is full of stupid people. I know what you are thinking, America is full of stupid people including it's leader. But, I need a place to live and can deal with that. Canada you say???? Tobacco is just too fucking expensive and the taxes are unreal. Plus I don't say "eh" now and I really don't want to start.

So there are some of my takes on tree huggers and hunters. Thank you for your time.

Eric

Trying Something New....

Okay.... I'm excited to start using this Blog from now on. For a couple of days last week, the main server at BlogSpirit was attacked by hackers I'm guessing, so my ability to get on my page failed repeatedly. Fearing my personal information being stolen, (even though I have dick in my checking and savings account) I figuratively decided to stop using the Eric's Mind site. I'll leave this link "Eric's Mind" so you can see what I talked about previously. Anyways... this site looks much better anyways.

I'm still working on how to do things with my site so it will look better to me. I'll post more later today.
