Before I begin, i'd like to make special note to something:
If, by some off chance, you're into Pokemon.. then feel free to stare at my Pokemon fanfiction. I know it's a bit off, but it's a three year project (i'm off and on making new stuff for it) and i'm really wanting to get back into it again. However, for lack of commentation by those on the internet (that, and most people think Pokemon is immature.. trust me, the ficcie is definetely mature), i'm not really in the mood to continue it. The only motivation I have are those of you that read it. I haven't edited the first five chapters or so (every chapter after that, up to 18, is much better), and so they are lacking in the storyline department. Head on over to:
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1460460/1/ If for some odd reason that doesn't work, search for Eric1. It's pretty obvious which of the two I have up there are which. Read up, and leave reviews on Fanfiction.net for me. I'll get an e-mail telling me there're reviews.. but anyways, i'm mostly fishing for motivation. I'd like to finish the story so I can move on. Plus, it might look good on my resume if I ever go for a journalism job. :3
Feel free to act like this part I typed doesn't exist. Instead, act like the next part's the beginning of my ranting for today..
-----------------------
Well, here comes college. And the working class. Eventually i'm going to have to do it (it seems today will be the day i'm going to go and.. yeah.. schedule my classes.). Still, I don't really want to. Oh well. I'd like to say I don't have much to complain about but i'm afraid I do. For example, my lack of intelligence.
Okay. I admit i'm a fucking moron. But only because that's what almost everyone thinks of me. So what better way to make everyone happy (and give them more opportunities to walk all over me?) than to agree with them. Happy now? I'm a moron. I'm selfish. I only do what I like to do. I only want what I want.
"But Eric, you're a very unselfish person!"
Bullshit. I'm not an unselfish person. I just try to be as unselfish as possible because I know that, as with all people, that very demon would leap out and bite you square in the balls (or whatever part of your body that would hurt alot). I understand that the way I do things is different. I try to do things differently because rather than letting the river carry me downstream, i'd like to fight it as much as possible. The longer it takes for me to get to that inevitable stereotypical waterfall/jagged rocks at the bottom, the better. That's about the only thing that keeps me happy, besides Ali. Being able to laugh at things other people don't laugh at. Being able to do things that other people aren't able to do.
But can I take my own advice? Shit no. Can I make a promise to lose weight and keep it? Never. Do all my stories/RP take a typical 'Adam Sandler Movie' route with the storyline? Hell yeah. Why? Because I am who I am. If you can't accept that, then feel free to take a short side-trip to the nearby complaint desk. Just look for the Mexican that doesn't know a lick of English behind the desk. Como estas?
Anyways, glad I can be the butt of your joke. The guy with the short end of the stick. The person you use to walk over the puddle of mud. Because i'm not changing. Either let me know what you really think about me, or not. It's really up to you. Free country, right? Hope you can't sleep at night. Make sure you drink alot and drive home.
On a lighter note, (because hey, who wants to read my journal unless they have the promise of a lighter note?) life's pretty decent. I had to cancel my subscription to FFXI because I can no longer afford it (living on $0 on a month), and i'm eventually gonna have to change my AIM name. Even so, i'm pretty happy. Ali's around, and she's all I need. :3
The Next Episode: I try my hand at making fun at things with my odd sense of humor. Any suggestions? Feel free to leave a comment. I love hearing from people, good or bad. If it's bad, it gives me more to laugh at.
