I guess I've changed a lot in 3 years. I guess so has she. I have taken on a much more bitter, and in a way, more puritanical view of things. I don't have much time for music outside of my tastes. I am pretty vocal about that. She gets drunk and can shit talk, but I cannot shit talk some of her musical tastes in the least. I guess she doesn't wanna be friends over that. Nevermind dumping water on me when I'm drunk, or kicking me in the leg. I say "this band sucks" a few times and that's the end of that, I guess. Real shitty feeling.

These are the LoC/CV/CRS7 songs I've found quotes from. If you get more list em here!

Wow, I guess it has been a while. Three people left on the friends list. Not that I really did a whole lot with it. Most of em probably drifted away. I wonder if they'll remember the silly comments or whatever that I left to em?

It's kinda funny how sometimes I'll sit back after work, or driving, or even talking with my girl or my family and remember certain events or people that I thought I'd forgotten.

I'm of the belief that every person you pass, every person that says a word to you effects your life somehow. And, though I don't believe in fate, sometimes it seems that past experiences have just readied me for what is here today.

March 3rd is my one year aniversary (sp?). I used to think three months was a long time. Lily is her name. She tempers my hate and agression. She makes me laugh and smile and she's so *warm*. I mean physically warm. I don't need a heating blanket, just her. She's so soft in all the right places.

May 21 will be one year in the UA (United Association of Apprentices and Journeymen of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industries of the United States and Canada). I've finally been working for a company that doesn't just fire people they don't care for. I work with two guys that ride my ass, but still teach me and forgive the fuck ups. Maybe not forgive, because they bring them up. In fact I don't really know what they think of me for real. But they pay me every Friday.

I should change my profile picture. I dont look like that right now. I should save more money, because it never seems like I have enough. I should update more, but I never seem to find the time.

I shouldn't wait till right before apprentice class to do my homework, but oh well.

1 month vegetarian. No more meat for Eric.

I could go on forever about the hurricane. BUT! I'm so tired of hearing about it. I could write about Lily, but how many people really wanna read a lot of gooey lovey fluff? I could write about work, but I'm the only one I know who gets excited about pipes.

So I'll stop.

So I'm back. It's been a long long time. More to come later,

Holy shit. I just had this long essay up. I'll try to retype it.

So her sister. She pretended to like me at her dad's. The next day chewed Lily out. Said that it was gross that I was so much older. Like when I'm 66 anyones gonna care that shes younger than me? That's right no one gives a shit when you get older. But no matter how mature you are, even the most liberal of acting folks say that age matters. Hypocrites.

Her sister is no exception. All this talk about women's lib doesn't apply to her sister. Nope, not to the baby. Seriously the girl has some fucking issues with hipocrisy. In 5 years, I bet she'll be voting republican.

So a week after i meet the dad I get a new car. To celebrate me and Lily go out to dinner and I have a couple drinks. Instead of goin straight to the movies I wanna let the buzz wear off so I lay in the backseat. Lily lays on the seat, while I'm on the floor. She leans down to kiss me, and cops. Like 6 of them. They tell me a bunch of bullshit. Call her mom. Mom says bring her home ASAP. I do. I get told to leave. I do.

A few hours later I get told I can't see her again. Until shes 18. I'm devistated. So is she.

She pretty much stayed at her dad's for a while. He had a computer where she could talk to me. For one hour. We now think he had a spy program so he could see all our conversations. And we think he read her journals. Creepy. She was made to go to the OBGYN to take tests for STDs and what not. They don't believe that I havent fucked her. (Which I haven't.)

Oh well.

She moved in with her mom. A month or two later her mom said we could see each other if we were "just friends" which we agreed to of course. So I get to see her again.

So everything is going well.

I started my apprenticeship, got a month work and got laid off for lack of work. So now I'm collecting unemployment until the union calls me back for this newb job comming up. I'm callin the hall tomorrow to see if she's heard anything.

I should be getting my union card anytime now. It's kinda exciting to me. Even though Mississippi unions are kinda weak, its better than nothing.

I'll try not to go so long without updating.

Much

Eric

PS I uploaded this picture I took in Gulfport, lemme know what ya think. And a new profile pic. Facial hair is the new pink or black or whatever. Fuck it facial hair is sexy.

Well fucking damn kids its been a while.

About a month ago my aunt died. This is about 2 weeks after i start dating a wonderful girl, who is 16. Yes I know, I'm 22. But whatever I don't play by the fucking rules that society sets up. It's legal. So I'm good. I got a new job. Ok Ok I'll go into some details.

I mentioned Lily before. She is a beautiful girl. I care a shit ton for her and I hope that I can continue to make her happy. We met, hung out, started dating. I met her mom, who we lied to and said I was 18. Well Lily did, I just never corrected it. About a week later, she told her mom that I was 22. We had a sit down. She asked me all kinds of questions. I answered satisfactorily I guess because she said she was uncomfortable with the age, but that she wasn't gonna forbid us to go out. She warned me that her dad would brutalize me if he found out. (more on this later)

Well I took her to meet my family. They fell in love with her because shes funny and sweet and what not. So we plan to go back the next week for more time. Well we were out one Saturday night and I drop her off high on cloud nine and head home. I get told we need to go to the hospital. Aunt Eva died that night. I was all torn up.

I called in saturday and the bitch was rude. Sunday I basically got told id be written up. Monday and Tuesday I was off, Wednesday I got told if I wasn't back by friday i'd be fired. I was pissed. I slammed the phone down. My aunt was very dear to me. My boss knew it. Fuck her. Friday in the middle of the day i get a call about a new job. So I went.

I deliver mattresses for 7 dollars an hour plus tips. I wear what i want look like what i want dress how i want. My mohawk is back. I have facial hair. Im sexy as fuck again.

I've gotten used to aunt eva being gone. I'll miss her but I think deep down she was tired of fighting. She wanted to go be somewhere more comfortable than her own skin.

So back to Lily. I had to meet her dad. She couldn't keep it from him. So I went over and had a very akward interview. Me and Lily watched the Wall and i went home. I was invited back on sunday for dinner. I met her sister who hates me. That is another story which I wont go into because at the moment im pissed at the two faced bitch. But new pics will be up soon. If not already.

Well nothing new on the union. But I do have quite the story in my personal life. It's a doosie.

I saw L. at a show last summer. My first thought was, "Damn, she is beautiful." I let it go.

Well now said girl is my girlfriend. One thing though, shes 16. Yea sounds creepy to some, but really if one takes into account maturity, shes about 25. Anyways. L's mom found got told today my real age. L had told her I was 18. I can't pass as 18 in person. I look at least 20. So Friday I have a meeting with the mom. L turns 17 in a couple of months. I dunno, I care lots about her though. So heres hoping for the best.

UNITE HERE (UNITE (formerly the Union of Needletrades, Textiles and Industrial Employees) and HERE (Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees International Union) merged on July 8, 2004 forming UNITE HERE.) are at Grand Casino Biloxi.

Management has signed a neutrality agreement with the union. Basically, we don't strike for the union, and there is no reprisal from management if we join. They dont want to know. They can't discuss it.

So far it looks good. The people are out. I'm helping to organize gatherings to get our people informed. I'm excited really.

For the time I've been there conditions have worsened. Management increases our work load, our insurance cost, decreases labor, continually talks down to us, cuts all incentives, and now people have woken up.

The vote will be in a month maybe two. Which will be before Herrah's takes over Caesar's Entertainment.

I'll keep this updatd more if anyone cares about it.

so yea i got dumped today. no more happy feelings for a while. For some reason though i don't wanna drink it all away. strange.

Oh ho ho what a tangled web we snare ourselves into. Just cuz of this fucked up little wierd retarded thing called love. Seriously I wish I could be done with it, but last night the girl whom i am in love with tells me she's not sure if she still loves me. Great. So valentine's day is a bust. But I'm drunk. Jager atm. Next rrum, then beer. Yea ill pay in the morning im sure, but ya know sometimes the shits gotta stop inside. I've been a wreck all day. I don't see why people willingly put themselves in these kinda situations. Open up. Then get hurt. Fuck. They say people who jump outta planes are crazy, but people who fall in love are so much worse. I gotta go finish my drink fore it gets warm so yea hope your day was better than mine.,
