These are actually the old contents of my "trespassing with intent to loiter" blog on Blogspot which will continue to be updated along with this one - I hope - maybe not.

Summer leaves in an autumn sky
Yes,
it's true. Most of the leaves in my neighborhood are still very green and still
very attached to the trees. I have to tell you dear readers, I am feeling much
less of a curmudgeon these days and it's rather disconcerting. Both my
professional life and my personal life seem to be working rather well these
days and not even that vacuous twit in the whitehouse can get me riled, of
course, I have been purposely avoiding any news story regarding his
shenanigans, so.................
Anyhow,
how are all of you? I just noticed for the first time that there is a counter
on my blog and I have had some readers which is kind of nice. For anyone that
happens by here, I'd like to invite you all to check out my art/music/etc. at
my web site which is slowly taking shape. Perhaps invite is not the right word,
maybe challenge is more appropriate. I've been finding some intersting pictures
online in my search for web elements lately - see above.
Anyhow,
the web address is www.physicianhealthyself.com
On the site you will also find links to my myspace page as well as my friends
myspace pages, websites etc.
I'll
try to be more angry for you all next time!

Resurection!
Hi all 0 of you!
It's been a long time! I forgot that I had one of these handy dandy things! A
lot has happened since we last did not speak: I got divorced...again, I moved
back to the city, I switched jobs a couple times and started dating a wonderful
new woman. I have a new website and a couple myspace pages and I will probably
mirror this blog on at least one of them. Hopefully I wil start having some
kind of audience one of these days. I guess I'll have to start posting
something more interesting to warrant a readership! Anyway, I look forward to
yelling into the void that is the internet and hearing nothing but the echo of
my own voice to keep me company. For those of you interested in the Chicagoland
area some of my new friends are doing a series of shows at the Gorrilla Tango
Theatre on Milwaukee Avenue on Thursday nights. The shows are Three Cat
Thursday and they feature a different sort of act each week. Cover is only
$10.00 and beer and wine are cheap. Tomorow is "Theme Night" and next
Thursday is featured artist week and is starring the cabaret stylings of Laura
Freeman (that wonderful new woman I mentioned before)
Come on out and hang with the Curmudgeon!

Back from the desert I call my life!
.jpg)
Hi!
It's so nice to see my audience has gone from 0 to 0! When last you and I spoke
W. had not yet been re-elected and I was still trapped in the temp job from
hell - (word to the wise kiddies, "stay in school because $100,000 dollars
in educational debt gets you really far in life - like $100,000 in debt and
miserable!") Anyhow, back to work "kind-of" and back on the job
hunt. Not that I want a job mind you, but i am told it's hard to pay your bills
in bottle caps and dust bunnies. Do people really reed blogs? I would like to
do something interesting with this one but I am not so sure anyone will see it
- oh, well - I guess that will make me really super cool indie if nobody ever
reads it right? Like the song that is so freakin cool and hip you can only hear
it if you are a dog? Are you paying attention?! Perhaps I should connect some
audio or pics to this but what to post....hhhmmm?
I though it would post under what I had already typed -
moron, who told you to think? Am I trying to break something? What part of
shut-up do I not understand?
Later,
Eric

Break out the prayer beads......
Is it just me or is it getting wierd in here. After all
we have seen people still think W. is a good guy. People are going to vote for
him - he may even win. I wonder if France or Germany were filled with darker
skinned, Muslim people if W. would want to kill them all to? Maybe he already
does, maybe he has some hush - hush secret plan to attack them after the next
election as well. You know, becasue they did not want to kill Iraqi's that
means by default that they to were "trying to kill his dad". Am I the
only person who thinks that maybe 911 was orchestrated by the Bush clan in
order to somehow create a climate that would allow for the attacking if Iraq?
After all, if you ask W. and the people like him, all Muslims regardless of
nation, personality, temperament, etc. are the same so if one is a terrorist they
must all be. Maybe it's not that at all, maybe he really is not a racist good
'ol boy after all maybe it really is just the oil and making sure that his
family has more money than they could possibly ever spend. When it's no longer
oil maybe it will be something that you or I will be in the way of. Hhhmmm,
better make my peace with God, I see a confederate flag coming my way over the
horizon......

Fruit and nuts......
Bush / Cheney and Kerry / Edwards = Goobers and
Raisinets. Remember, we live in a free democracy because we are given wonderful
choices like these so what will you choose, fruits or nuts?!?
Be well.

Back from a season, or rather, a weekend in hell......
Good morning friends,
I am back in the bad place after a weekend in what may possibly have been a
worse place. I travelled into the Wisconsin Dells with my wife, my cousin, his
wife and there two sons. At first I was hopeful as the location we stayed at
was quite wooded and smelled of fire which I like, sadly this is where the
pleasure ends. We stayed in a smal trailer camper which was small and had even
smaller beds made up of folding furniture which were horribly uncomfortable.
The bathing site was made up of a couple of coin-op showers in the public
restroom in the campground which isn't so bad I guess except for the fact that
the restrooms themselves were covered in a couple inches of dirty water - and I
don't even want to guess at what sort of dirty we're talking about. We drove
all evening to get there and I am not fond of being a passenger in a car for
more than a couple hours at a time and then upon reaching said destination we
pretty much went right to bed in a very cold - no fire, no furnace and worst of
all, no drinks evening. Next day we went to the actual Dells - the tourist trap
area. I enjoyed myself in the morning simply becasue it was a very bright and
crisp morning but the actual area of the Dells is much the same as the Canadian
side of Niagra Falls, lots of touristy stuff that is profanely expensive for
what it is - half rate ammusements. I did get to enjoy some very expensive
salt-water taffy which is one of my biggest guilty pleasures. By the way, have
any of you noticed that you can find a taffy apple just about anywhere but
candy apples are simply no longer to be found? Does this mean we will no longer
be seeing candy-apple red cars? Anyways, we eventually returned to the campsite
and relaxed a bit and my wife made an insanely good batch of beef stew in a
dutch oven sort of a thing right in the fire, however, the evening was made
somewhat ugly by the fact that my cousin (who really is a fine and decent
fellow) seemed to have it in for the youngest of his sons who he proceeded to
deride and humiliate through the evening. Now as a self proclaimed curmudgeon,
I rarely have a problem with people dishing out a little abuse, especially when
well timed and comedic, however, (and don't start getting the idea that I have
a heart or anything) killing the spirit of a young child is just downright
criminal, it's like plucking the wings off a bird ever so slowly. Anyway, I
suppose I could really get into the finer details of what made the trip hellish
but I'll leave that to your imagination, suffice it to say that although I
don't want to rail too much on it because the trip was a kind offer and I did
have some fun, I do think that I will need to follow up on the actual Dells and
other places of it's ilk at a later date.
Talk to you later.

What, you still here??
Well, I have to admit, I really like the idea of
complaining to a physical audience inbetween my time spent with you. Would you
believe that there are still people that expect you to earn the money they give
you week to week? I know, wierd isn't it? I really enjoy the ones that give you
that look - you know - "the look", as if somehow their distaste for
my inactivity is going to send me spiraling into guilt ridden fits of remorse
and bring me begging for the redemption only they could possibly offer.
"How will you repair my broken life oh great one?" "How will you
reinstill the fear I have so carelessly left upon your alter?" I am so
certain that I am in need of punishment, repeat doses of boy bands and
"pop" tarts, maybe a long confessional with the flavor of the month
teen whore. Yes a good stern "talking to" from that chalice of wisdom
____________ (insert tragicly turned out teen prostitute of the month here). This
rambling makes absolutley no sense, what did you say your name was again?
Theres a twenty on the dresser, maybe you can fix me a sandwich on your way
out..............
Why are you here?
So?
Why are you here? Personally, I am stuck where I really don't want to
be, not doing what I am supposed to be doing and wishing I were anywhere else.
for this reason I am here now with all of you which of course could be
"legion, for you are many" or nobody at all. I'm not all that sure
how many people read these things. I'm not sure what you can expect to find
here just yet as I really am a moody bastard with a severely wandering mind.
Anyways come back later if you so choose and maybe I''ll entertain you, or
maybe I'll just offend you with my attitude and poor taste.
