ugh, what should I do?
I have a blog on Blogger.com, hosted blogs on Hostgator using Wordpress, and a Tumblr. My Blogger blog and Wordpress blogs mirror each other, but here we have my tumblr blog and it gets almost no love, except when I use GetGlue.com to check in when watching tv. Why do I even have this?

The Zombie Apocalypse
So, the last few days I have been on a kick. A zombie/virus outbreak movie kick. I have to admit, the two movie genre’s really aren’t that different. I have reasons as to why this is true, and I will give that list momentarily. The reason why these types of movies are awesome? The social commentary they present to us. that is something I will discuss momentarily as well. There are those out...

My New Experiment
This blog was originally posted on my main site at EricSchuetz.com a few weeks ago. I am posting it here…finally.
*****************
Trying to figure something out here. I have my blogs. First my personal blog at EricscShuetz.com and my personal tech blog at Tech.EricsShuetz.com. I am trying to decide here. What should I do? I have been seeing numerous bloggers jump on the bandwagon...

Hohum
And so here is a new post. Seems like my plate is always full to the point of a little spill over. No easy life for me that is for certain. However, I can’t complain to much. Life is on track, and is moving steadily forward. I really enjoy knowing that my life is progressing positively. But even with things progressing nicely, there are still elements that feel like they are missing.
I...

Been to Long(?)
Wow, where has the time gone? My last blog was posted August 19th. Here it is now October 9th! I haven’t posted for a WHOLE MONTH?!? Kind of sad, I suppose. I shouldn’t neglect my poor blog like this. Hell, I haven’t even posted anything of interest to my tech blog in just as long. I really shouldn’t put off like this. It isn’t good. Anyway, thought I would type up what has been new and...

I Keep Missing the Mark
Have you ever looked in on yourself and felt that you were meant for something great? That feeling of destiny. Do you feel as if you might have missed your chance, or unsure if you should be a “bit more patient”? That effectively sums up how I feel every day of my life. I look at where I am, where I have been, and where I am going. I keep having that nagging feeling that I am destined for...

Time to Learn Not to Stress Over Things
People, in this new era of being told we need more “stuff”, we should learn to appreciate what we have. We shouldn’t fret over what we don’t have. Money is tighter than ever. We are told that we need more to be happy. We need to learn how to not worry about spending on frivolous items, but on the important things that secure our families well being. What I am talking...

The Three Circles. What They Mean, and What They...
We all incorporate a variety of different type of people into our lives. These are the people that we call friends, family and associates. We call them by different names, labels and titles. Each person in our lives have special relationships and ties to who we are. How we group these people is remarkably similar, yet surprisingly confusing. I have instituted a system of Circles to group...

Making changes
Today I have decided it was time to let go. Time to let go of emotional baggage that I have let myself cling to for to long. It hasn’t been healthy for me to allow it to go on for as long as I did, but i did. No longer. It has been done. This evening was the end of what I had to do.
I hate the idea of cutting away a friendship that has lasted for so long, but i am feeling the facts of...

Pseudo-Experts…Fuck ‘em!
I was sitting here and reading a couple articles on Harry Potter, and such. In these articles, they centered around particular “experts”. These “experts”, and if I could emphasize the quotes more so I would, would go on about various aspects of the content, the inclusions, insights, and so on and so forth about what they were an “expert” on. My curiosity is,...

Going Back to School…sorta(?)
I was sitting here at my laptop, imagine that, and I started to ponder the possibilities of going back to school. I know I did the “college” thing back in 2001, but that was a diploma mill. That was not a real education for what I ended up paying. I want a real education, but my fear is that I am to old. I know a lot of people in their 30’s and older worry about it. However, I have a friend...

What a Month!
So, here we are over half way through June. It has been one HELLUVA month. It seems that the last 2 years of Junes have been interesting to say the least. Last year, I was back in Hiawatha, KS and was getting engaged and moving back to Texas. Well this year has been a bit of a ride, as well…minus the fairy tale start. This time around I ended up with a nasty little plot twist and a sad ending...

Lost Love Letters
As I sat here this evening, I took the time to read a letter from someone that has meant so much to me for so long. A letter written to me a couple of months ago that nearly never made it to me. A letter that was meant for me, but out of fear, anxiety and respect was never sent. However, it was finally sent just a couple of weeks ago, and arrived to my own hands just this weekend. A letter...

Single Again
So, here’s my life. I get into a relationship with a gal, and somewhere along the lines I screw it up. As of last Wednesday, I have ended up single again. Where do I go wrong? I am not entirely certain. It just happens. I either am not “wholesome” enough, not “bad” enough, I am to “strict”, or I am just not making enough.
Somewhere along the course...

My Galaxy Tab and how it changed my habits
A week or so ago I got myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab…finally. I have been wanting one of these ever since they hit the shelves of all of the major mobile carriers. I have gone about trying to find the best deal, best connection price, and so on. I even went to eBay to try and find one that was inexpensive. However, I decided to break down and spend the $199.99 on a Verizon branded Tab. I am so...

Government Wants to Close the Economy?
Okay, I wasn’t really entirely certain on a good title for this blog, but it really isn’t going to focus on every aspect of the Governments proposed shut down, but specifically the fact that all the men and women serving in the Armed Forced. The problem being faced is that thousands of these individuals will be fighting wars and conflicts and doing their various jobs FOR FREE. As if our military...

Internet Creates More Satanists. Whoa, Say What...
Okay, I am referencing an article written by the Telegraph over in the UK. Here is that link - http://bit.ly/gVZbDK. So, what does this really mean? That the Pope is worried about the massive funding they get from their Houses of Pedo…er….Churches. Actually, this is all about the church expressing fear of all the poor children being molested, hurt and tormented by big bad evil Satanists. Oh,...

All I Want is a Couple Days Off
Seems that old Huey Lewis and the News song comes in pretty handy right now. And boy oh boy I am ready for my couple days off. Don’t get me wrong, I am enjoying my new job! It is a relatively easy job when one gets the hang of the software we use. After that, it is just a matter of making sure you handle the call, hold and after call times and keep them to a minimum. I have been doing a...

My Decree to You All
Well, it has been a couple of weeks, hasn’t it been? I thought it was about time I throw up a quick blog. Ya know, to keep you all in the loop. And how it has been a loop. I don’t really care for loops. They make me queasy and upset my stomach….hence why I am still a roller coaster virgin. I like stability. I like my feet on terra firma. I may have my head in the clouds at times, but my...

What to Blog, What to Blog?
I have this insatiable desire to get on here and blog. I don’t know what to really blog about so how about I just ramble? Rambling can be fun, because you never really know what exactly will come out. You start off on one tract, then end up on another, move to a different one, then circle back to the original tract and finish it out. Then at other times it is just a complete mish mash of...

Mirrored
Well I just decided that I should have my blogged Mirrored. Why you ask? Because it makes sense. I have been doing my blog for the last 5 or so years, and I don’t want to loose my posts. I almost forgot to update my domain name today, which would have basically killed my blog. As long as I have it mirrored, it is safe. So where is it mirrored at? If you are reading this on my primary site,...
And So Concludes Another Month
…And nothing to show for it. This has been tough. I have been looking and listening and calling for work. I hate being unemployed. My options for any money are rather limited, and a portion of those options are not the kind that I want to utilize. Not that it is dirty or illegal, mind you. I just don’t care for those options. I hate seeing my bills pile up and no way of putting an end to...

Life Sucks Right Now
That it does. No lying, no joking. I know life is what we make of it, but hard to make anything of it when you are feeling utterly stuck where you are. Since I have been back in Nebraska, I have not had any luck in finding work, except for a lead that could pan out, and then again could just as easily flop. Hopefully I land it. Doesn’t help I feel rather alone. I admit I am not wired to be...

Happy New Years
So 2010 is gone. There is no going back. No repeats. Now enters 2011. How will it fair? Who f’n knows. Personally, I am hoping that 2011 will prove to be a better year for me. I am going to cement my feet, stick it out and I am going to make a success of myself right where I am. What does that mean? Win or lose, I am here for the long haul. Good luck to everyone. Remember to appreciate...

Back in Nebraska…Yay.
Okay, so I have been back in Nebraska for less than a week. I hate the cold…its cold. I hate allergies…mine are in full force. I hate feeling sick…guess what? I am sick. Aside from friends and family, I hate it here. But I am going to make it work. No doubt, I will. Just have to figure out how to get my allergies to calm down…more OJ should do the trick. It will also help when I am...

I really am sick of this!
Well, my time in Texas is winding down. As of December 23rd, or possibly the 24th, we are heading back to Nebraska. Mind you, we do NOT want to be going back to Nebraska. I love it here, I had a blast at my job, and I was happy to be out of the Midwest. The kids, as much as they may have missed everyone back “home”, they do not want to leave. They love their schools, they love the town, and...

It’s My Birthday…Bah! Humbug.
Yeah, you read that right. I turn 34 today. Joy! Oh fucking joy. Can you feel my excitement? I am just bubbling over with it today. I am so bubbly with joy and excitement…oh wait, that is sarcasm. Let me try this again…Nope, wait. I can’t. I am not feeling it. Just sarcasm. Oh well, it will have to do. I suppose I would be a bit more “up” and in the spirit of my birthday if it were...

Dire Straights
Those that know me know that I do not actively seek out pity parties. More than not, I tend to keep my problems to myself. I keep my personal life just that, personal. However, things are hitting an all time low for me right now. I am working for GameStop. I love this job. It is a fun and entertaining job. However, my hours have gone from okay to craptastic. I quit Best Buy to get better...

Single Life Sucks
Okay, so here I am moving on. See me moving on? I am so moving on. Yeah, right. It isn’t easy. It sucks. I want to stay friends with Liz. We are doing our best at doing so. Is it possible, it better damned well be. To many years between us to just throw away! However, after being to the top of the mountain, it isn’t easy coming back down. Who wants to when you were happy? Why would...

Love ≠Logical; Love = Addictive Insanity
“Love is a many splendid thing.” So, whom ever came up with that line was obviously full of shit. Love is more like a piece of wood, and I have a LOT of splinters. It complete lacks any form or concept of logic. It is a purely emotionally based concept that causes ridiculous amounts of hormonal secretions that create a drug like induced experience, blinding one to the pain that hides behind its...

To Move, or Not to Move. That is the Question.
So, there are a few people that know what has been going on between Liz and myself. We have hit a spot that has caused a bit of a rift between us. We are indecisive on where to go next. However, I have had more than that on my mind. She is moving out later this month, and has left me with a very hard decision on whether or not I wanted to stay or move back to Nebraska. I honestly do not want...

PC Repair business
I have strongly been thinking about this but am considering getting back into starting my own PC repair business. I know what needs to be done with working on, and repairing PC’s. I have a familiarity with Linux to handle those issues, and I can learn Mac if need be, but there is a business here in College Station that is certified for Apple products. I know the prices I need to charge to...
