July 28th - Money by Eric

Yes! I finally got my goddamn paycheck. I tried to get it last friday but the person who deals with that stuff was on a boat. At least it's in my safe hands where I will surely spend it by the weekend for my computer upgrade.

Yesterday at Best Buy, I finally found the new Yellowcard CD, Ocean Avenue, which I have been searching for a really long time now. It was a good deal too, only $9.99. There's my support RIAA. See, people really do buy CDs. After listening to the CD a few times, I've come out with a few words about it. It's a nice blend of music but it's not anything that's too fantasic. I realized that it's not really that fuckincredible. More like a 3 out of 5 stars. It's the kind of CD that you'll fall asleep too (in this case, it's a good thing). The CD book looks like something from the late 80's, early 90's.

While I was at Best Buy, I also got some blank CDs. The label said 7.99 for 80 CDs. So I said to myself, "oh, what a great deal!". Then when I go the cash register I find out it costs 31.99. I had a yelling match with the cashier until she finally told me I had to mail in 3 freaking rebates to 3 different places. One for 4 dollars, one for 8 dollars, and one for 12 dollars. That means I have to make 2 copies of the receipt, and 2 copies of the UPC code on the case. Why can't they just make things easy for me? Why do they have to be some coniving like that. I hate you Mr. Rebate.

July 27th - New Music by Eric

Check it out. New Saves The Day song in .mp3 form. "Anywhere With You" (Cactus Stomp Moonbeam). The volume in the first few seconds is a little screwed up but you can deal with it until the new album comes out. Download to your right. Thanks to Scamps.

July 27th - Straight Up by Eric

Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever oh oh oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together oh oh oh
Are you just having fun

There's a hidden meaning to these words that capture the essence of pure intelligence. Paula Abdul doesn't take someone's love for granted. She treasures it. But if you're not ready to make a commitment then you have to find a different woman. No more "smack my bitch up" or "slap me silly and call me daddy" for this little lady. She's strong and powerful.

What a waste. The RIAA sucks. Check out the link to the left to learn more about how to fight back.

July 26th - What Happened? by Eric

This is for all the CSE kids that read this, if any.

I've noticed that all the fun with updated the site to put more news on there has just lost all of its fun. It's come to the point where I really don't care that much. It must be because it's just stupid shit like "oohh, here's pictures", "another shitty contest that no one ever actually wins". Who cares anymore? I was looking at the hits per day on the site for the first time in about a month and I've noticed that they've gone down a lot. But I really don't care. The forum still remains fun because it is always different things to talk about. But with the site, it's just NFG and it's getting old now. Maybe my love for it all will be restored when the hype for the new record comes back. And what I don't get is why when you click on the CSE staff link there's 8 people on it but only 3, sometimes 4, actually contribute anything to the site anymore.

Listen to me when I say this. The site is dying. Very slowly. It had it's climax in February but now it's all done for. All the fun is lost and it doesn't mean that much to me anymore.

July 26th - Fun Times by Eric

Oh man, last night was a night I'll never forget. Went up to New York to see Reel Big Fish play. Those are some funny guys. I don't know much about the band in-depth, I only know they're music. I'm wondering how old they really old because they look like they could be my dad. It doesn't matter though, they're still great guys.

The most redundant question I heard in work yesterday was "How was your vacation?". And I always replied "good" to each of their questions. About 75% of the people asked "How are the girls down there?". And I say "good". But it's good to see that they actually care about my prescence.

I forgot to mention that NFG is coming back to Jersey. I've already got tickets for myself and 2 others. If anyone wants me to get a ticket for them (you gotta pay me back), then talk to me on AIM.

Oh and I added an "Add link" thing. If you've got a website or a journal or whatever, use that so I can put your link on my site. It uses Bravenet's email thing. I'm still looking for a host that can give me PHP or a cgi-bin.

July 24th - Guess Who's Back by Eric

Oh wow, 10 days since I've been updated this thing. I got in last night around 2 or 3 in the morning. My email box got completely spammed to the brim, my dog jumped on top of me, and I took a nice nap. I don't have much to say right now, I'm trying to install Linux on my mom's computer but it's not working. Back to work tomorrow, but at least it's only one day. I still have to call back my driving instructor to get an appointment to get my 6 hours behind the wheel for my permit.

But you know what's really starting to piss me off? All these fucking random instant messages from people saying "Who's this?". Jesus christ, you fucking talked to me first, why don't you tell me who you are? Don't get into my personal life just out of nowhere. Ever since my screenname and email's been on a paticular website, I've been getting spam, hate mail, and so much stupid shit that it's really going too far. I want to change my email and screenname but everyone knows me by the internet alias of "eric2000and1". I remember when I was over at Frank's house in 1999 and it was the first time I'd been on the Internet (seriously). And he said, make a screenname so when you get the internet I can talk to you. Sure enough, I just randomly picked out that screenname because eric2000 was already taken. (I'm very unoriginal, people).

You'd think that all that shit would be the worse, but I think this takes the cake...

eric2000and1 (7:32:09 PM): i love you
SmarterChild (7:32:09 PM): Hey eric2000and1.

Won't you please make a donation to the robot survival fund? :-\ All I'm asking for is $9.99, and you get to be my friend for a whole year! :-)

Come on, just click here now!
eric2000and1 (7:32:20 PM): i have no money
SmarterChild (7:32:20 PM): Isn't our friendship worth $9.99 a year? :-(

Just click here!
eric2000and1 (7:32:43 PM): can't a poor man talk to a robot?
SmarterChild (7:32:44 PM): Pleeeez... It's only $9.99 a year!

Come on, just click here now!
eric2000and1 (7:33:01 PM): why can't you just love me for who i am
SmarterChild (7:33:02 PM): I'm going to leave you alone for a bit. I have more important people to talk to. You stay where you are and think about how cheap it is to chat with me for a full year for only $9.99.
eric2000and1 (7:33:28 PM): why would i do that when i can talk to other people for free?

Tokyo Rose - Saturday, Everyday



July 14th - Last Minute by Eric

I leave tomorrow and I know this is really sad, but this will be the longest time I've ever been without a computer. It's going to be interesting. If you need to email me, send it to urcd2000@yahoo.com because my other email is gonna fill up with spam in no time.

Now that that's all out of the way. Today I got the Boy Sets Fire CD, Tomorrow Come Today. I didn't realize how political this band was. The inside cover has a poem that I felt was pretty intriguing.

In a sunrise of burning stop signs,
Tomorrow's rising like a ghost from the graveyard of wishes.
Its spirit bursting through prison fences,
Flooding the street with a sea of ski masks marching from our ditches.
A new morning as bright as the smallest spark in the darkest dark.
Warm as young lovers in mid kiss,
Its wishes whisper between lovers lips.

When I close my eyes I can see the ghost unearth her life,
On never nights like tonight,
When daybreak defies midnight.
With the backing of the shovels beat,
Burning flags at her feet,
Crackling over the young lovers lead,
She screams:
"Lovers of the world unite, there's no tomorrow...only tonight."

Its time for a new day to break,
From the dead dreams we awake.
Like a mute speaking, seizing his say,
Tomorrow come today.

Pretty wild huh? It also came with a DVD which I gotta watch when I come back. If you want another song to download that's good by them, go get the song "Eviction Article" or "Release the Dogs"

Oh and I got comments on to work finally. Leave me a message so I know who reads this.

I read this in someone's profile and I thought it was pretty funny.

July 12th - Obsession by Eric

I'm such a sad sack of shit, I just spent the last 8 hours playing Vice City trying to get 100%. And I'm only at 86% right now. So not only did I waste the day away, I didn't achieve anything. I at least went over to Chris' house before I started playing. Bid my adieus and went home. I also tried something pretty interesting with my NFG CDs. Read here. Alright I guess it's not that interesting.

July 11th - It's Friday!! by Eric

Friday's finally upon us! What a beautiful word. I looked it up in the dictionary and found this.

Fri·day
  1. The sixth day of the week
  2. A blessing
I was a little mad that I fell asleep after work. I wanted to go over Chris' house today but I forgot. Oh well, there's always the weekend. Speaking of which, work is becoming a bitch these days. It's not really the work itself, it's the people. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is very, very ghetto. Even the fat, old, white guys who look like trailer trash with grey mullets. And every single day they bring, the other kid who works with me brings over the radio on the pushcart and plays 98.9. I must hear the "Woody Woody" song (I'm guessing that's what it's called) about 5 or 6 times a day. Then when an old song comes on, he says "'Dis is before yo time, youngin'". And I just say back "Look, you're a year older than me. If it's before my time, then it's before yours too." Then when the "Woody Woody" song comes on, he starts doing what he calls "rockin' the boat" where he starts skipping in place and swinging the bottom of his shirt with his hands. It's really only described in one word, gay.

That's all for me today, I'm on vacation next week starting Tuesday (July 15th) to Wednesday (July 23rd).

July 10th - Ahh, New Music by Eric

New .mp3s to your right. Hell yea! The new Yellowcard song "Way Away" in mp3 format.

Oh, and I need a host. I don't need one for mp3s or something like that. I just want a cgi-bin so I can update this easier than I am right now. Or at least one that supports php. If you can help me out, instant message me on AIM, screenname: eric2000and1 or email eric2000and1@yahoo.com. And by the way, this site is viewed best at 1024 x 768 resolution. I'll try to make it compatible with all resolutions soon.

July 10th - Elephant Phuck by Eric

Wanna buy some high quality art? Why not blow it all on some elephant art? God, what are people thinking when they make this. Do they actually expect people to spend $350 dollars on something like this. Give me a fucking blind fold and a paintbrush and I'll give you one just like it. I don't need no elephant to do it for me. There is no way you'll ever make a profit off this. I want the elephant dammit! Look at me, King of the Elephants.

I went to Bob Meyer park to go run. I don't know why, T. Marsh convinced me. Cross country season is 2 months away and these people are already into it. I really only went because I was bored and it was nice and cool outside. Perfect weather, really. It's when I run into the hail storm that I get pissed off. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll go see Chris tomorrow before he moves to Utah, which is in about a week. So this really is my only chance because I'm on vacation next week.

Stop breathing fumes. They're not good for you.

July 9th - Wednesday by Eric

Man, I can't believe it's only Wednesday. Weeks seem to go so much slower in the summer. I took my dog for a walk today, which was the first time in about 3 months. She enjoyed it. I also had some extra time to do some more programming for my card game which I never got to complete before school ended. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to add a lot more stuff to my site. That's all for today.

  • Nearly all men who view pornography use it as the stimulus for masturbation. As a result they frequently suffer feelings of guilt, shame, regret and humiliation.
  • Many men become addicted to pornography and lose their freedom. They feel trapped, out of control, and in despair. They literally become slaves to their own lust.
  • Pornography places men on an emotional roller coaster. One minute they’re happy, the next they’re sad; calm, then angry; kind, then cold. These moods change without warning, causing stress and pain for wives, children, friends and associates. Feelings of estrangement ensue, further isolating and alienating them from their loved ones, which often drive men even deeper into the self-medicating escape of pornography.
  • Men isolated on the slippery slope of pornography typically fail in their families and marriages, and in their relations with people in general. They are less effective, less reliable, less creative, and more prone to meanness and fits of anger. In essence, pornography turns men into zombie-like characters who are but a shadow of their true selves and potential. They waste their time, talents and resources, caught up in their own dark little world of pornography viewing.
  • In the advanced stages, pornography addiction can lead a man to commit rape, incest, violence, exhibitionism, other sex-related crimes and even suicide. Millions of men have lost their families, their careers, their reputations, their good names, and their freedom just to satisfy their addiction.
  • Pornography can take an immensely good, talented, enthusiastic man and turn him into one of the walking dead.

July 7th - Hair by Eric

Man, my dad won't get off my case about my hair. I've finally achieved full shag and it's pretty sweet, at least in my opinion it is. But you know what I just noticed, all the "trend setters" or the "hot guys" have shaggy hair. Why do girls seem to like the dirty, messed up hair so much? Anyways, my dad just keeps telling me "you're getting a haircut tomorrow!" Maybe if I was going to a wedding or a funeral I would cut it, but I have no reason to do it. Well right now, it's curling at the back on the ends and it kind of rolls up. And for some reason my sideburns are curling up too. Oh well, shit happens. And if you haven't noticed because you're blind, I added a new image from vice-city.

July 7th - Too Much Sleep by Eric

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War


Barenaked Ladies - Who Needs Sleep?

Damn I overslept. I'm not supposed to sleep until 9 o'clock at night! Usually when I come home from work, I'll be tired but I won't sleep this late. Now I won't be able to go to bed until about 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning, giving me a little more than 2 hours of actual sleep.

I just realized though, that I really need to steal something from work. The problem is that I don't know what I want. What the hell am I gonna do with a 500cc suction cup? Attach them to my nipples and pull? Maybe if I was a drug dealer I could find a prosperous investment. I could start the new hip thing of getting high off saline solution.

Here's my daily schedule

4:30 - Wake up
4:30 to 5:00 - Get dressed, eat breakfast, and make lunch.
5:00 to 5:10 - Chill
5:10 to 5:50 - Drive to work and listen to music, very loud.
5:50 to 6:00 - Check in, drop off my lunch in the fridge, and sit down for a couple of minutes.
6:00 to 8:00 - Unload the trucks.
8:00 to 8:15 - Break.
8:15 to 11:00 - Break down the boxes and put them onto skids (wooden palletes).
11:00 to 11:30 - Lunch break.
11:30 to 1:00 - Do some other shit.
1:00 to 1:15 - Final break.
1:15 to 2:30 - Clean up (sweeping, picking up trash, etc.)
2:30 - Check out
2:30 to 3:30 - Drive home.
3:30 to 4:00 - Eat a late lunch, early dinner
4:00 to 6:30 - Get more sleep.
6:30 to 7:00 - Eat dinner.
7:00 to 11:00 - Go on computer or watch T.V.
11:00 to 4:30 - Sleep.
4:30 - Do it all over again.

Oh and if Kat reads this, I'm sorry about your loss. Things will get better.

July 6th - My First Review by Eric

I added a T3 review under "Shit". I need to get a blogger or something like that because this thing is a bitch to update.

July 6th - Back to the Salt Mines by Eric

You know we got a good thing going and I don't wanna see it end.
That's just me quoting some Reel Big Fish for you. Yep, waking up at 4:30 this morning I was thinking the same thing. The weekend seems to slip by just like that. However, work is getting easier for me. Probably because I've become more lazy. Always just try to impress your boss for the first week and then you're set. Don't take this as a racist remark, but the only hard-working people there are the Mexicans. Everyone there is pretty nice to one another, but when it comes to the Mexicans, it seems as though they're getting all the work. I just make sure I do what I'm supposed to do and nothing more.

July 5th - Crabbing by Eric

Yesterday was kind of fun. Went down to the shore for first time in probably a year. It feels really good to just sit at the sand's edge as the water ripples in towards me.

At night we went crabbing (here's the definition for those people who have no idea what that is, crabbing means catching crabs, it's not that hard). We caught about 9 crabs in total. 2 were babies so we couldn't keep that. A baby crab is considered anything under 4 1/2 inches in length.

About 2 piers over from us was a classic rock band that really sucked. It was a bunch of 40 year old guys that played really shitty. The only songs I could recognize were their covers of "Knocking on Heaven's Door" and "When I Come Around"; both were really bad. Occasionally someone shot off a firework or two across the bay which was better background noise than them.

When coming home, we must've saw about 7 or 8 people that got pulled over. Cops were a bitch. They set up drunk driving stops at busy intersections. But I guess it's a good thing because it's better for them to do that than for someone to get killed. Got home around midnight, and I stayed online for about a hour and just passed out on the floor as usual.

I finally got some time to make this for myself. I'm gonna add shit to it any chance I get and tell you about other shit that's been happening to me whenever I get a chance.

I really don't give a shit if you come here or not, it's just something I wanted to do in my spare time.
