Reading and Writing and fixing PCs!

Just a quick update!

Friday night I finished "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"! What a great book. It was sad to see the series come to an end. I won't say what happens, but read it, it's worth it!

Saturday, I hung out with my friend Steve. I went over his place and we hung out all afternoon and evening. We watched some funny videos on Youtube and I gave his computer a tune-up, fixing things here and there and he says it's running better so Yay! No more error messages popping up for him! We also went out for dinner and watched a movie afterwards.

Sunday I had to desperately get caught up with some chores. I did laundry and cleaned. I also spent some time writing. Whew, everything is coming at once! My book and my script for my comedy series...much fun!

The Relationship Equation

I've found that there are 2 types of equations when it comes to the relationship department (no surprise there) The Single equation and the "taken" equation:

The Single Equation - There are 2 types in which people fall into: 1+0=1 and 1*0=0.

1*0=0 - Back in the day, I fell under this category as do many people. This category refers to people that NEED a relationship. These people simply can't or don't function well at all being single. This is obvious by those who constantly are in a relationship and don't stay single for any loner that a week. Fortunately (or maybe unfortunately) I paid my dues to this equation in a different way. It only took one relationship for me to realize, I definitely don't NEED a relationship. When you NEED one, you (more often than not...hence the new partner every other week) end up with the wrong person. As I said, I was definitely with the wrong person for 14 months before I finally woke up and said "I'm so better off alone."

1+0=1 - The healthy way of being single. You are single and not ashamed of it. You know how when you see commercials on TV or hear married people talk, the word single is a synonym for "poor guy/girl. They aren't complete yet or happy." This is where I am now and have been for quite some time. I was happy for a while being single, although it's been almost 3 years since my last relationship, I feel like I am ready to date again. The different between this equation and 1*0=0 is that I want one and not need one. I am waiting to find the right guy, not just grabbing one just to say "I've got a boyfriend." That can only get you through his rehab treatments so long.... :)

1+1=2 - The "I'm taken" relationship. Of course this could be sub-divided so many different ways. This is where I would like to end up and hopefully the right guy is out there. We'll see, but I do feel that me personally, I am ready inside and out to pursue a nice, long, healthy relationship. But until the right prospects come along, I am enjoying being a member of the 1+0=1 family.

Summer cold! Icky-Poo Go Away!

And so it is! *bing*

I had a nasty cold come on me suddenly, and like always leave suddenly. I am back at work today and feeling tons better.

I wonder if it's all the gym and the change of eating habits that helped bring it on...germs at the gym etc.

Small price to pay since I'm down 6 pounds since my family left and other people are noticing a difference. I expect the poundage to level off as more muscle is put on, but its the clothes that matter!

I'm right on track for my Gay Day deadline. Me and my friend Eric have created a program we are sticking too.

Being sick let me do some more reading on the New Harry Potter book. I'm at page 502 now. I expect to finish it Friday night so I can get back into my own writing!!

I'm so excited about writing again! Just sitting out on the Terrace with my Mac and a cup of coffee...Fabulous!

Being Gay is NOT a choice, god damn it.

This morning I had a chance to watch a video clip that was sent to me by a friend of mine about San Diego's baseball gay night. That night they happened to be given away hats to kids. This caused a great uproar to guess who? christian idiots. Saying that homosexuals shouldn't be promoting that radical agendas. Since when is wanting the same rights that everyone else has (I.e. marriage considered radical?) They had this one ridiculously bigoted christian woman on bitching and moaning about how more teens are coming out and coming out younger. "Do we really want that?" Well, yes you stupid cunt we do. Why? Because the *Number 1* cause of teen suicide is being ashamed because they are gay.

Teens coming out more and more and younger, is a healthy sign that they are okay with who they are, and why shouldn't they be? There is nothing wrong with it.

I find it so odd that the foundation of christianity is supposed to be love. Why then are most christians so bigoted toward gays. Some go so far as to carry signs saying "God hates fags." I thought God was supposed to love everyone?

These are the same idiots that listen to jerry falwell (or listened to before the fucker kick the bucket) about the moral majority. Moral majority?! He was caught with a HOOKER in the 90s. Jesus Tap Dancing Christ.

Anyways, that's enough of the rant about that. I just had to get it off my chest.

Oh, im regards to the title of this posting: Being Gay isn't a choice, you are just simply born that way. Coming out, being proud and loving yourself is a choice. Hiding and pretending you are straight and living a lie is a choice. Basic sexuality is not.

To all straight people reading this with disbelief, chew on this: If you believe sexuality is a choice that what you are telling me is that you are attracted to both men and women and are CHOOSING to sleep with girls (or guys if you are a girl reading this). Somehow I think you'd argue that statement...

So if you are going to lift your holy spears and hurl them at groups of people, get educated first. You wacky people have done enough harm throughout history.

Elmer Fudd Chronic Farter?!

It's no secret that my anus used to be very talkative. (Not so much now that I eat better)and I always laughed at the expression for farting "Shot a bunny." We used it when we were little and to this day it still has a funny ring to it.

Since I shot several bunnies in my day, I couldn't help but wonder all those times Elmer Fudd would look at the camera with that coy smile and say "I'm huntin' wabbits huhuhuhuhuh"

Could this mean he was always shooting bunnies? Was there a double meaning in the expression? Was Elmer Fudd a chronic farter? Considering the wacky writing of those beloved Looney Tunes cartoons, I wouldn't doubt it in the least.

More and More Harry Potter

Thursday night while sleping, I was suddenly hit by a huge head cold! I could barely swallow my throat hurt so bad.

Since I was awake at 3am, I called into work and left a message with our department Admin that I wouldn't be coming in. By the time Friday afternoon came around I was feeling much beter and today even a more marked improvement was seen. I was supposed to hang out with my friend Steve today/tonight but since he has an interview Monday, I didn't want to take a chance on getting him sick.

So, my week and most of my weekend was spent on the 6th Harry Potter book "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", which I finished, it was Fabulous!

I went right out and bought the brand new book (which came out today) "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". It is very good so far and I hope to go through it quickly, although part of me wants to do it nice and slow since it is the last one...

Welp, back to the book :)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

This weekend was okay. I woke up early on Saturday morning to to to Universal Citywalk to meet some friend for the 11am 3D IMAX showing of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. It was sold out so I bought tickets for the Sunday show at 11.

Saturday night I spent at home working on script ideas, which I am behind on, but I have some funny ideas and I will have some basic story beats down by my meeting with K.D. on Friday.

Dizzy and Doodle had a massive fight Saturday night. Doodle charged me too, so I hid in the back room until she had a time out, then she was fine again. :)

Sunday morning, I met some friends at Citywalk. We had a nice breakfast at Wolfgang Puck's and then saw the movie. It was AWESOME! The best one of the series so far!

Although the 3D was only in the last 20 minutes, it was well worth it, and the huge IMAX screen looked wonderful.

We had a great time, everyone loved it!

Later that day, I took a lil trip to the Apple store and traded in my Macbook Pro power supply. It had stopped working. (I suspect the cat's teeth marks in the cable had something to do with it...) They guy in the store was great and I was in and out very quickly. Even Mac's service is superior! :)

Terry got me addicted to Big Brother 8. I'm even addicted to the Live Feed on Showtime. I keep it on in the background while I'm writing or chatting or playing my game.

That's all for now, time for a nice chicken wrap for lunch with Douglas and Liz :)

Cravings, Birthdays and Holidays, Oh My (Stars)!

I am having SUCH a craving now for chocolate but none around to be found! That's probably a good thing though as I eat quite healthy these days.

My friend Maria called me today and told me not to make any plans for my birthday that she is organizing a party for me at Bingo. :) That's very sweet of her. I've known her for 10 years now and love her to death! I'm excited for it as I know it'll be a great time!

My oldest Brother, his wife and my goddaughter are talking about coming out for Thanksgiving and bringing Mom back. Apparently Mom has been telling everyone about the good time she had now they all wanna come haha. I hope all their vacation schedules and stuff works out so it'll happen. It will be so cool to cook Thanksgiving dinner for my family. Oh man, mashed potatoes, gravy and Yorkshire Puddings! :)

I'm hungry. :)

Re-visits

Yesterday was my oldest Brother's birthday. I called to wish him Happy Birthday and we went a good time on the phone laughing sharing wacky stories about Mom. He is going to try to plan on coming out around Thanksgiving with her. That'd would be so cool!

The other re-visit that has recently happened was a character from a script I wrote with Senator when we would spend stomach hurting laugh-a-thons at Rage years ago.

This time she is back with some additional friends! It's a good time getting the beats down for the story. It's odd even though he lives around the other side of the world, it's like he is here when "Anita" comes around. She's like this alcoholic child we created with our imaginations. I'm hoping to finish all the beats by the weekend, so I can start the actual script next week.

"I shaved my balls for THIS?!"

Peace,
Eric

Cute pic!

I was just e-mailed this picture. It is of me and my friends at a tent BBQ. It's a super cute and really captures everyones mood. Good times! As always, click to enlarge!

From left to right: Linet, Me, Liz, Douglas.

Workin' on my fitness!

Day 2 at the Gym was much better! I went faster on the elliptical and threw in some more weight machines. Soon I'll be back up to where I used to be. Abs followed of course, followed by a nice comfy swim in the pool.

I am going to skip Bingo tonight, I think. No really feeling it today. I think I'll work on my script tonight instead.

I am also trying to plan out the rest of my trips for the year. I have three more vouchers left over from when I came back from Hawaii (Thanks to Boopie!)

So far this year, I have traveled to Hawaii and back to Philly 2 times. I have 3 more trips to take. I would like to go back to Hawaii again and I have to go home 2 more times. Mom wants me to come home for one of the holidays so I have to decide if it is going to be Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Claudia, my fabulous hairstylist, is moving to New York so maybe I'll drive up there haven I'm home to visit her and get my haircut :)

Back on track!

Last night was my first night back at the gym! It felt great to be back, although a bit tiring :)

I also did my Ab routine when I got home.

Also, I stopped at the market and bought only healthy stuff. Since it has almost been a month since I have stopped eating any meat from Cow and Pig, I picked up chicken (which is what I would have gotten anyway), some apples, grapes and almonds.

My breakfast this morning consists of almonds and hot lemon water sweetened with Stevia Plus. I just feel much better and have more energy when I'm eating more healthy. Not to mention looking better!

I spent all of last night copying music files from my old computer to my new one. 15gbs worth! That took a while, I just left my computer alone while that was going on, didn't want to mess it up and have to start all over again!

While that was going on, I watch Big Brother after dark on Showtime Too. Stupid tv but great to leave on in the background hehe. It's the live feed from the house so it's all uncensored.

Relaxin'!

After a very busy family visit, a fun filled packed 4th of July, I took this past weekend to do absolutely nothing...and I LOVED it. :)

Saturday I caught up on much needed sleep and watched Live Earth all day. I think the only person I talked to all day was Mike.

Sunday, I Cleaned the Terrace and trimmed the flowers out there and did a brief cleaning on the inside of my place too. I spent the afternoon in the pool with one of my fabulous neighbors Lisa. I love hanging out in the pool. Good times...

I also worked a bit on ideas for my next writing adventure. I love writing; like rea like embarking on a new journey is a bit scary but well worth it! I have a few different stories in mind. Some are new, some are old characters wanting a new adventure...

Fourth of July Recap!

Tuesday night I saw Transformers with my friend Douglas. We caught a late show that start at like 10:20 or so pm.

It was a great movie for people who watched the original cartoon. If you don't know anything about it, I think you'd still like it although they didn't do anough character development with the robots so you didn't really care when some of them died etc.

On the morning of the Fourth I drove south and picked up my friend Eric in Irvine. He has one bad ass condo! Very very nice! We then drove to my friend John's place and picked him up. We all went to Disneyland (even though I was there a week earlier, I have always been curious to see what their fireworks were like on the 4th).

We met John's friend Gil in Disneyland and we had a fun filled day packed with laughs. I love hanging out with people that love to do different types of things. I've had all of these friends all these years that I only hung out with once in a while because i felt shackled to someone who was just, well, boring. It's great to get out and have fun!

The fireworks did NOT disappoint! Man, aside from their normal fireworks show, the special 4th fireworks were awesome! I will go back next year for sure!

There are 4 or 5 of us that are going to get a room/rooms at the Disney Hotel for the weekend of Gaydays. That is always a fun weekend!

During the day, I even got a chance to talk to Mike a few times. Wished him a Happy 4th. Would have been cool if he were there with us.

When I got home from Disneyland wasn't so much fun though haha I must have had some 24 hour virus or something, I was in the bathroom every 20 mins til like 6am. (But I won't go into the troubles of my anus...) :)

I am looking forward to the weekend. What am I going to do? Nothing. Well, laundry and work on a script but nothing major. After the family visit, and the 4th and my lil stomach virus, I am just looking forward to kicking back and relaxing!

Peace,

End of the Family Visit!

Saturday, after my Morning coffee with Mumsie, we went to Venice beach. We milled around there for around 4 ghours and I could see Mom was getting tired and needed a break from all the runnign aroudn we were doing.

We came home, and ordered in Chin-Chin (Which everyone LOVED) and we watched Finding Nemo. It was a relaxing night and everyone had a nice recharge. Me and my neice Sara went swimming as well. She went in with all her clothes on haha.

Sunday, we went to Universal City walk and then I took them to Lake Hollywood (The closet you can get to the Hollywood sign!). Then it was on to Geoffrey's for dinner. YUM!

They all left yesterday morning. :(

It was sad to see them go, but they all had a great t ime and my Mom was even talking about coming back. :)

After the left, I came home and crashed hardcore. I fell asleep and woke up very late, just in time for bed.

Sorry to my friend Mike, I promised to talk to him last night, but sleep got the best of me.

All is well and I am looking forward to hanging out in Disneyland tomorrow with a group of friends for the 4th of July fireworks!

Truth be told, I've always been a Fireworks whore. :)
