Been a pretty good day for the most part. Things went pretty well as planned today. That makes for a good day. I also got a message from the owner of the Pizza Place I have been going after for my Pizza Cards and he is all in with them. So awesome and the school will love it as well. Really is one of the best pizza places around. So hopefully in the next few weeks I will have my first hugh fundraiser under way. Such a fun concept.... Tomorrow is yet to come so we will see. It all depends on production at work getting things done I have to deliver. They are so slammed right now its just nuts. Just a matter of where my orders fall in line....
Got to chat a bunch with a friend today and tonight. Always a plus. Went to dinner with 2 of my Best Friends here at Mooses BBQ. Always good stuff. They are such great people.
Have a Jump Castle set up on Saturday. Glad its been renting out pretty decent lately. peoples faces light up when you show up to put up a jump castle. Kids think your the best thing ever. LOL.
Alrighty, Just for fun. Here is a clue to my code. A=F and its 3 words. Good luck thats more then enough with a little effort. The person who wants this info will know.
Well 3 day weekend to do nothing. Will be so nice to forget about work for a few days. Gonna be at least one more hectic one scranbling to get things done on time. Hopefully we can breathe a bit after this week. We will see.
Gotta get up early again. Time to crash. Good Night and Love ya!!

Day 9 Is it Friday Yet?
Insert thoughts here........I really dont have much to say today. Plenty of thoughts and really no positive ones. Annoyed.........I will be fine like always. When does it get old just being fine. Where is the line that you someday get to jump across and not be fine. I surely try my ass off to get ahead and it dont fricken work. Put it in Gods hands, Think positive, keep trying, Keep your head up, Someday something good will happen, You deserve someone, Things will be OK. All surely are novel thoughts. Where is the reality? When do I get to enjoy life with no worries?
Please no one freak out or worry about me. I do enough for everyone. I will really be fine, just crappy day for thoughts and my mind is going crazy. I am aloud to have negative thoughts on occasion and I keep a blog to throw them out there and get it off my mind. Thats all. Life will go on just like it always does and someday we all will die. I just hope I get to see a good worry free day before it happens to me. I am actually really going to sart my own website this weekend for donations to Give A Life to Eric. Just a buck. If a bus driver can get $700,000 for sympathy why cant I just get $100,000?
Anyway, night. Sorry and thanks for letting me vent. Please know I am normally a very positive person and try to look at the good things. Just didnt work out today and tomorrow will likely be just fine. Not looking for pitty here or to worry anyone. No one obviously has the answer to when it will all be better and worry free. So no need to answer that.

Day 8 Well....Boring Day
Today was just a boring ass day. I got a lot done at work. OF course I can always count on a coach to screw it up and make stupid requests. I know it takes 2 weeks and I know you are busy, but drop the entire world and pay attention to me and screw everyone else, I am more important. This has to be how some people think. I am very respectful to my customers and have a great relationship with most all of them. Some just dont have any mutual respect for my time or job.
OK enough ranting. Gonna be a long next couple weeks till Rec football starts. Gonna be some late nights this week and next. Seems we have more work then man power to get it done. It woul dblow you rmind how much stuff needs to be done in the next couple weeks at work. Still kinda puzzles me when people still get off work, take a day off and leave early even though there is more work then they can handle getting done on time. I ran our trophies department for a bit and I would not leave at night till my work was done or they made me leave. I could not stand to be behind and miss deadlines. Guess I just look at things different then most. Dont get me wrong, there are a couple people who show true dedication and Get it Done attitudes, but not enough of them.
Here is the dumb shit I think about. There are 313,000,000 people in the USA. If I can get 50,000 of them to send me a buck I would be on track financiall. Just 150,000 of them and I would be able to have all I need and be debt free. Seems so simple. Maybe I will start a site. Donate a Dollar to Eric. Can you even send 1.00 with PayPal? Maybe donate a quarter and hope for 200,000 people to donate and mail me a quarter. Maybe there is a way to make this a fun game that could go viral or something. Need a cam so I can make videos to maybe attract some attention. Ever seen the show Barter Kings. I wanna do that too. Trade from something stupid to something awesome and worth alot to sell and be set. Rinse and repeat. LOL. Look up Red Paperclip story. Guy trades his way from a Red Paperclip up to a house. Anything is possible!!!!!!!! What crazy things do you think of?
Tomorrow promises to be another day of running like a mad man and making deliveries. Been a boring couple days for sure. At least I have my Words with friends ;) Its surely a fun game. Something to look forward to. :) On that note, good night people. Love ya Bunches :)

Day 5, 6 and 7 What a Weekend
Well Friday was a hectic day. Got the kiddo's for the weekend. They had a school dance which they had a blast at. Was glad to see them have such a good time. Me and Lexie went to the Goose Creek HIgh School opening football game. They are right next to my house. They also happen to be the State Champions. As well as an account of mine for work. They crushed Ashley Ridge High School. It was like a date night with my baby girl. Prety cool. Claytons head was hurtng from jammimg to such loud music at his dance. So he laid around the house with roomie and his daughters. Saturday we all just ran around a bunch, I went and got screen protectors for their Nooks and that costed $20. What a scam. Almost made me mad. Just for a piece of plastic. I had a headache most of the day. Kids were pretty understanding and let me rest a bit. We went for a late night swim around 8 or so. Thats always nice and relaxing.
Sundays are usually a scramble to get the house cleaned up, all their laundry done and packed up, and get them ready to go home. We went to get a desk for Lexie's room and grabbed a good lunch at Kickin Chickin in Summerville. I love my kiddo'd so much. Wish they never had to leave and go home. Someday I will be able to spend every minute I can with them. I will be able to work a little hear and there and spend the whole summer with them, maybe take them places I never got to go. Someday.........
I went to Steel City Pizza to catch manager and see if I can get him on my Pizza Card. GM wasnt there but assistant said he will share with him and owners. Iw ill call tomorrow to see if they got it. Really hoping they come on board. It could be hugh for the fundraiser I have in the works. If I dont get them on board the fundraiser may be a no go. Could be very iportant and life changing to see this move forward. So hope that works out.
As far as the rest of the night goes, just gonna crash early. Best of luck to ya:) Have a good night.

Day 4 Almost The Weekend!!!!
Well, pretty tired tonight. So this will be brief. I think I have said that before. Anyway, Work was just work today. I actuall accomplished quite a bit of paperwork. Never see to get ahead but staying on top of things.
Had dinner with Clinton & Stephanie at Moose's BBQ tonight. Yummy stuff. Kids have a dance tomorrow at school so I have to get them from there at 5:30. Clayton is an 8th grader and Lexie a 6th grader. So Lexies first middle school dance. I went with Clayton to one last year and most kids were just sitting around in the cafateria talking in their little clicks. Probably show up a little early to check things out.
Have not worked much on the things I wanted to like eating better and quitting smoking today or any physical fitness stuff. Just never feels like enough hours in the day to do something. So hard to eat right on the run all the time. Its whatever I can eat and drive alot of days. Oh well, will start again trying harder.
I have been forgetting to list something I am thankful for in my posts. Well I guess I actually have with talking about the friends I am thankful for. I am thankful for so many things and so many people. The last couple weeks have been very uplifting and fun for sure. Crazy hectic, but you always make time for a text or quick call. I am thankful for those things. I used to always post my number for people to text me at random. Its 843-817-7538. Always fun to chat with new people. Some more then others. LOL.
I do however miss home a bunch this past couple weeks. Miss being near my friends and family there. I always seem to find things out either on Facebook or days after they happen. I wish I was there with them all and especially my GOOD friends. :)
Let me chat about another thing I do really quick. I already mentioned the Main Job in my last post and talked about Jump Castles and Snow Cone business. Next I have what I call The Pizza Card. Its a plastic card good for 20 free pizzas at a local pizza place. Basics of it is I get a pizza place to offer a deal I can put on it for 20 free pizza's. The deal is a bit flexible, but has to be 20 Free Pizza's. So they Place I have now is offering a Free Medium 1-Topping Pizza with the purchae of a large specialty pizza. You can up the freebie to a large 1 topping for $2.00. So the first hurdle was finding a pizza place to let me do this. What do they have to gain. They get a customer who will come in at least 20 times to buy a large pizza. If they upgrade it covers the cost of the free pizza. Many tmes they will add topping as well. Its advertising that they dont pay for unless it brings customers in. Completely free to the pizza place. I printed the cards and now the second part is selling the cards. Retail on them is $10. Goal is to get fundraisers to sell them for $10 and they pay me $3 a piece when they are done the selling spree. So I mainly market to schools. I have one school thinking of doing it with 340 kids that will be selling them. Could be in the thousands. They will make a ton, I buy super nice gifts for top sellers, like laptop, ipad, kindle or Nooks, and so on depending on total sales. Have to get one particular Pizza Place if this high school will do it. Having trouble reaching them. Will have to get creative. Other options to sell them is just hire people to walk around and sell around the locations at busy spots. They sell for $10 and keep $6 Hit 100 cards in a week and keep $7 per card. So thats my idea. Well I saw someone else doing it online. I will have 500 cards for my first pizza place in my hands tomorrow. Its for Papa Murphy's and they have 5 locations they are good at around Charleston. When a customer comes in they simply punch one of the 20 mini pizza's out until card is gone. Gonna set up a simple page site as well for people to come back later to get cards from. Will have all them for all the places I sign up. This will be for direct sales. Will just have website on cards. Going to venture to a Sub Sandwich card and a Golf Card as well sooner or later. Anyone has a fundraiser they wanna do let me know and I can help. Can do this anywhere.
OK, have to get up early for meeting at work. We meet on Fridays at 8:15 with owners and sales staff. Good night everyone. Sweet Dreams and Love you bunches. :)

Day 3 Just Another Busy Day
Well, another day down till......... Uh yeah. LOL. Good day in general. Stayed and worked a bit late tonight and for that treated myself to some wings at Hooters. The really do have the best wings!!!! Always some great conversation with a friend, well texts at least. Magic 8 Balls seem to be very in decisive. Not sure I spelled that right. Dont care really.
One thing I want to put out there is I really am happy and dont beat myself up all the time. I know life is tough some times and I am good with that. Life is surely getting better and better everyday. One step at a time. This blog is a way for me to put it out there for people to get a taste of my life. I am always intrigued to read about others lives and hope some enjoy reading about mine. I will have struggles, I will have ups and downs and likely will talk about them. I was very excited that someof the attention from this blog has brought me closer to a couple of my good life long friends. Love you all!!!!!
With that said I wanted to chat about my real job tonight. Then all the extra stuff another night. I work as an outside sales rep for a sporting goods store. We sell sporting uniforms and equipment to schools and rec departments and really anyone all over the Charleston and surrounding areas. I have some great accounts and love what I do. The company has some challenges at times that can be scary. They are pretty old school about things and dont really like to bring things into the current times. This puts us behind in some cases. I have many aopinions about changes that could make the company so much better and profitable, but just not gonna happen. Its typically a waste of breath. I do OK and I have tons of flexibility with my job. I get to work at home sometimes and set my schedule. Long as I am selling its all good. It allows me more time with my kids and to take part in more of their life events. Its not enough money to get ahead and barely enough to keep up most of the time. After a year in outside sales thats getting better. I plug away and enjoy the time there. There is really a few great people I work with and am very lucky to have met. So enough of that, blah, blah, blah. Its a job and for that I am very thankful!!!!
Second thing is a quick one to talk about. My friend Clinton has a jump castle biz and I have a snowcone machine we rent out as well. He pays me to help him do the set-ups. I also have done events with selling snow cones and rented it out as well. Its not very time consuming at this point. Extra cash is always good.
What do all my side jobs have to do with everything. Well my goal is to work for myself, when I want and on some sort of semi automated nusiness or a business I can oversee and pay others to run for me.
Wore patch today and still smoked about 5 cigarettes. Gonna be a togh one. Easy to say just quit and then someone at work pushes me so far and I just have to bite my tongue and walk away to get my composure. At which point I want to smoke. Hard to accomplish anything productive when I have to work till 8:30 at night, run to grab something to eat, go home, take meds, get settled in and then its almost 10pm. Again slow and steady it will go. Progress a small bit at a time.
Couple quickie side notes. I love Words With Friends and Angry Birds. I wish I could et a Nook Color or Kindle Fire to play them on. Would be great for books as well. :) If anyone cant decide on a gift for me then there ya go. Thanks in advance for such an awesome gift. HaHa.
I forgot one of my Bestest friends Kevin from when I was in the Marines. We did everything together and surely had a blast doing it. We always had each others backs and looked out for each other. We probably could have been dead or jailed many times for some of our infamous party stunts or acts. Some of which we had to be told about the next day. We drank alot together. More then you could surely imagine. A brother in the Marines is a bond that will always be there. Thanks Kevin for helping me keep my head up and caring enogh to check in on me. Looks like he may be planning a skydiving trip for us and I will get to cross that off my bucket list. I need to starta ucket list. Listed most of it in previous blog a couple days ago. Anyway I wanted to mention him and note he surely was part of an exciting time in my life. The Marines simply would not have been the same without him.
Alrighty, I am gonna crash or at least lay down. Thanks for reading. Likely another long day tomorow. Wonder what amazign thing a coach will throw at me tomorrow. Bring it. Night Everyone!!!!!
No real good deeds today, but none bad either.

Day 2 Hectic Day
Well I didnt plan on being up so late tonight either, but here I am. 11:45 and not in bed yet. This will be a quickie. As always for the past week a good friend keeps me smiling and brightens my day. Sophie B Hakins is still Awesome!!!! LOL. Next was a surprise call from my old buddy Steve from back in school in MD. We have been best of friends for to many years to count. Have lost touch over the years but tonight was like we never left. I think we could have talked for hours, but both of us with dying cell phones and work in the morning had to go. I hope to grow old around my closest friends and family from my life. I only have a handful of really close friends who know everything about me. Who lived most of my younger years with me. They know who they are. I hope one day we will all be living close and can hang out more often and grow old around each other. I have a couple amazing friends here in Charleston who without them my life would truly have fell apart. They know who they are as well. Also a recent new friend, who I suspect will be a life long friend as well, regardless of what path things take. All these people have been such great parts of my life over the years. Steves call tonight was so great.
Well I will just list them all. These people are amazing and people I would consider some of the best friends I have ever had. First is my brother Brandon. We have always been like best friends, many challenges over the years, not always agreeing on things, but great friends none the less. Dont get me wrong. My other brother Jason and my sister Stephanie are awesome people. Just we were never as close as me and Brandon. Along with his wife Penny who is a truly amazing woman. My buddies from High School Steve, Donny, Daryl and George. I also want to mention a younger friend Eddie who goes way back with me. We were very tight in the younger years... Then I have friends here in Charleston, my roomie is one of the most awesome guys ya will ever meet, Rafael and then the friends I made in a small group from church Clinton and Stephanie who have helped me keep my focus and keep my head on straight through some really tough periods. They truly set the example of how people should live their lives.
I dwell a bunch on the past and miss those days for sure.
Today was just a hectic day at work. So many people have no respect for others time. Just because you failed to plan ahead, it shouldnt make my life a challenge. In the end, my 2 awesome phone calls, were the best end to a day ever. I dont recall an necessarily good deeds today in particular. Didnt get to read anything or do any sort of physical activity. I did smoke several times today. I think it was 5. I forgot to put my patch on this morning. I will get there. Baby steps and a little progress everyday is the goal.
I need to get some dental work done this month. Kind of hurting a bit. Been way to many years. I hope to get a little done at the end of the month, depending on how my check pans out for the month. Really need a good cleaning and probably a couple just yanked out in the back. Probably have to be a little bit here and there.
Truck is limping around as well. Gonna have to figure something out before to long. Hopefully something will come through for me to be able to afford a new vehicle. Someone want to buy me a new truck? Love ya forever. LOL.
Hopefully I can go into more details about some particular aspect of things I have going on in my life in my next few blogs. Just tired tonight.
I have been adding things up in my head of what it would take to get me ON TRACK in my finacial world. This would include my own home and new vehicle and many old debts or obligatrions I owe on. Just need maybe $150,000. Figuring I could get a decent home for $100,000 around here. So $50, 000 would be the main part I need first to clear everything up and get a vehicle. It would give me a clean slate. Anyone wanna donate to the Eric Fund? HaHa, slow and steady and it will come....There are over 300 Million people in the US. Figure I should be able to get at least 50,000 people to send me a buck. Sounds simple. LOL. Hmmmmmmm
I hope to have more things on track by weeks end. Have kids this weekend and we are gonna do something fun. Always brightens my day to hang out with them. I miss them everyday....Thanks for reading tonight peeps. Sorry not to exciting.
Well I will just list them all. These people are amazing and people I would consider some of the best friends I have ever had. First is my brother Brandon. We have always been like best friends, many challenges over the years, not always agreeing on things, but great friends none the less. Dont get me wrong. My other brother Jason and my sister Stephanie are awesome people. Just we were never as close as me and Brandon. Along with his wife Penny who is a truly amazing woman. My buddies from High School Steve, Donny, Daryl and George. I also want to mention a younger friend Eddie who goes way back with me. We were very tight in the younger years... Then I have friends here in Charleston, my roomie is one of the most awesome guys ya will ever meet, Rafael and then the friends I made in a small group from church Clinton and Stephanie who have helped me keep my focus and keep my head on straight through some really tough periods. They truly set the example of how people should live their lives.
I dwell a bunch on the past and miss those days for sure.
Today was just a hectic day at work. So many people have no respect for others time. Just because you failed to plan ahead, it shouldnt make my life a challenge. In the end, my 2 awesome phone calls, were the best end to a day ever. I dont recall an necessarily good deeds today in particular. Didnt get to read anything or do any sort of physical activity. I did smoke several times today. I think it was 5. I forgot to put my patch on this morning. I will get there. Baby steps and a little progress everyday is the goal.
I need to get some dental work done this month. Kind of hurting a bit. Been way to many years. I hope to get a little done at the end of the month, depending on how my check pans out for the month. Really need a good cleaning and probably a couple just yanked out in the back. Probably have to be a little bit here and there.
Truck is limping around as well. Gonna have to figure something out before to long. Hopefully something will come through for me to be able to afford a new vehicle. Someone want to buy me a new truck? Love ya forever. LOL.
Hopefully I can go into more details about some particular aspect of things I have going on in my life in my next few blogs. Just tired tonight.
I have been adding things up in my head of what it would take to get me ON TRACK in my finacial world. This would include my own home and new vehicle and many old debts or obligatrions I owe on. Just need maybe $150,000. Figuring I could get a decent home for $100,000 around here. So $50, 000 would be the main part I need first to clear everything up and get a vehicle.

Day 1 Comes to an End
Sweet end to a very busy day. I am thankful today for you ;) I did not eat really great today. I did manage to only smoke 3 cigarettes. Better then a pack I guess..Keep the patches going. I watched the video for the Bowflex and need to get a routine of some sort together. I didnt get to diner till late and decided against a late walk and went to the pool instead. Let me chat for a minute about the pool.
Ok I go to the pool at night for several reasons. First of all I hate the blaring heat we have here during the day. I HATE the heat. I sweat alot and it sucks. It drains me and sucks the life out of me. I dont have AC in my truck either and I have to run around a lot. So the first reason would be its not a million degrees outside. Second, its always empty. We have a small neighborhood and I am almost always alone. I like tit hat way. Dont get me wrong, would be nice to have someone special there, but just isnt happening right now. It just gives me time to reflect on so many things going on in my crazy head. If you were to try and follow all my thoughts you would be dizzy. They really just dont stop. I love to reflect and ask myself what if this or what if that and if only this would happen then this would work out. Thats my mind non stop. At the pool at night its quiet and I can slow the thoughts down a tad. Its very relaxing. I feel like I have no worries in the world when I am at the pool just floating around.
I dont think I really did any particular good deed today. I did hand off a customer to another sales person, which was just the right thing to do. But we all normally do that at work. Actually now that I think about it. 3 people I sent cards to last week got them and all thanked me for them today. Company called SendOutCards makes it so easy to send real cards with real stamps and all to people. My friend Jen is a rep for them so check her out if ya wanna try it.
Read abot 30 pages in my book called " Monk and the Merchant " by Terry Felber. Great book. Its a quick read. Maybe another hour so a couple more times and I will be done. Its about people skills and life skills to be sucessful. Not your traditional stuff. Some based on biblical principles and some based on life experience in the old world. If ya wanna read it I will send it to ya. Just let me know.
I find myself driving harder and harder to get back on top of life. I almost feel like I can see the light. That day will come when I am in control and not a slave to others. I want to decide my destiny and were it will go, where I will live, where I will work and who my friends are. I want to do things my way. I want to dream big and always show people its OK to dream bigg, be un realistic with your imagination and let go of what the NORM is supposed to be. I want to help people get ahead. I have to first do it for myself and then I can go forward and make my dreams happen. So many things to do, but I have so much time left to do it in...I want to own some hotels, I want to rehab and flip houses, I want to see homeless shelters go up, I want to give people hope, I want to make lives better, I want to travel the world on a cruise, I want to live on a boat for a year, I want to give a waitress or waiter a life changing tip, I want to hand someone an amountof money that will change thier lives completely, I want to see my children enjoy life and know life is what you make it, I want my children to be proud I am their father, I want to see their dreams come to life and help make it happen for them, I want to see the Pyramids, I want to go to Russia, I want to go on a Safari, I want to feed a village, I want to Sky Dive, I want to Bungee jump, I want to live in a remote place like Alaska, I want to go to the Olympics, I want to own a Race Team both cars and Motorcycles, I want to own a Football team, I want to go to the superbowl, I want to own a Baseball team, I want my family to never want again or struggle, I want my dads issues with cancer to go away, I want my mom to be happy, I want this and so much more.
Good Night. Now ya see what I mean about my mind???? LOL.

Starting Over....
Alrighty folks. I am going to give this whole blog thing another run. I need to try harder this time to keep myself accountable and on track to constantly improving my life. Someone special has really opened my eyes to the shortcomings I have. Mainly being that if I were to be in a relationship, what would I have to offer? My health is not so great with my diabetes, sleep apnea, over weight and no sort of fitness in general. I am easily tired and run down after very short periods of time. As far as being active with someone in a relationship in any way, shape or form would not be very impressive. Would love to be able to go hiking, walks around the parks or anything else that requires some sort of physical fitness and endurance.
So main things are get a diet in order, quit smoking and establish some sort fitness routine. Fianaces is a major part of my success as well. I need to get them in order. I have to get everything I owe anyone paid off and I will need a new vehicle very soon. I have to stick with the several sources of revenue I have been trying to get on track. My main job is always my primary focus. Its an awesome job and has so much potential. Second Ihave a vending route I run and I need to continue to slowly build on that. I need to help my friend to increase Jump Castle business rentals and use my Snow Cone machine to generate money. Lastly my Pizza Cards fund raisers needs to be worked a little hear and there. Along with all this I eventually would like to get Pest Control License.
So I have my patches to help me quit smoking laid out with my gum. Will be putting it on first thing in the morning. I have a really bisy day at work and am going to try and make sure I have no Sweet Tea or Soda or sweets all day tomorrow. Then do at least a walk tomorrow night and wacth videos on using th bow flex in our living room.
Two more things I would like to incorporate in my daily routine. I want to be alotting time to read my bible, motivational books or maybe even learn to meditate. I also want to make it a daily practice to do something that makes someone happy and note something daily I am thankful for.
I belive in dreaming big or ya are not dreaming. I want everyone to laugh and be happy. Everyone deserves to know they are awesome, appreciated and needed. I need to live my loife to set that example for others. Even stupid things like getting pissed at other drivers in the car. They have to go.
Thank you for helping me get on track. Your a special, beautiful and amazing person. I hope life gives you what you truly need to be happy, no matter that may be. Love ya all and thanks for reading this...
