Let’s see here. Where to start?

OK, The other day, Feb. 29th, Allison and I went to the local college to see a play. It was called “Noises Off” and was very funny. A basic synopsis of the play would be that it is about a cast of people in a play and the mess that happens behind the scenes. The first act, as I recall it, was basically about the cast practicing for the play (called “Nothing On”) and the difficulties they had with the script. This act mainly focused on word play and sarcasm, that sort of thing. Act Two, my favorite, depicts the cast at an actual performance of the show “Nothing On”. The really cool thing is that the set rotated 180° between acts to reveal the back. Act Two takes place behind the scenes and reveals, mostly through pantomime, a series of murderous acts, cheating lovers and other items. The third act was the end. I was not greatly amused by Act Three but it wasn’t bad either.

By some strange coincidence my daughter, Mackinzey, has been playing basketball at school and I had no idea. Yes, I agree this reflects poorly on my parenting, but even so, how was I not told? C’est la vie, such is life and it is neither here nor there. Anyways, I did manage to strangle the info out of a family member in time to attend her final game. It was very cute, indeed. Her “team” lost twice in a row but Mackinzey wasn’t the least bit upset. During one play Mackinzey actually stole the ball and made for the basket. She missed but she still made sure to look at me to see if I had witnessed her “skillz”. In fact, upon my arrival, my other family members seemed to no longer exist. Mac stayed focused on me. The reason I mention this is this: after so long of being a mediocre father she still makes sure that I see what she does. It’s a very nice feeling too to know that with me taking a more active roll in life in general, including my daughter, that it’s not too late.

And -phin.

So, I’m not sure what will happen in reality, but I expect to be off line for a while. Thanks to a few genius decisions on my part, as well as life happening, I have a massive amount of bills stacked in front of me. One of which, not actually a bill, is a fucking ticket from the Lake Worth police.

I hate those guys so much. Do you know what that greasy faced, bacon smelling, fat piece of shit did after stopping me? Made a left turn going too fast without his signal. Perhaps not a big deal, but if you’ve just been slapped with a fine you don’t really want to see that person acting in a way that would warrant a ticket.

I also got pulled over recently for having a headlight out. Guess what? The fart-sucking shit face…wait for it……had a freaking headlight out!!! Seriously! Die in a fire! Jerk.

I quit my job at the cemetery. I had a slew of reasons, some good, some not, but I gad to leave. It’s fine now though. I have another job that will tide me over until Allison and I move.

I start tomorrow, so I should get to bed.

Peace.

Edit

Did you read all those harsh words about being a cop? Yeah, I’ll be going to police academy towards the end of the year. Go figure.

Hahaha, holy crap! Watch this!

This blog will be difficult. Not difficult in that I don’t know what to say, but difficult in how can I make mere words describe perfection and beauty?
Allison is the most precious girl I’ve ever met. No one has ever made me feel the way you do.
I’m writing this today to tell the world my love for you.
Your smile always warms me. I see you smiling at me and I feel lucky, every time.
We fight sometimes, but, as I’ve said before, I like that you have a strong enough mind to tell me no and to argue with me. I know you don’t think so, but you are good to me.
You say that your to hard on me, but I don’t believe you are. You just want the best for me. Well, as it is that I have you, I do have whats best for me. I love the way you feel next to me, you fit so well. I feel as if we were made for each other. I know you get nervous sometimes about how I feel about you, but rest assured, you are the only girl I desire to call my own. I get a real sense of pride when I think that you are mine. How is it that I, just some normal dude, have you? I feel blessed when your around. I’m useless without you. One day I went to Wal-Mart by myself, and I just stood there. I didn’t know what to do. I truly need you. Without you I’m nothing. Without you I have no hope. Without you I would fail.
Going back to you thinking your too hard on me, your not. You just put it on the line, you make me see that I have to take action. I so desperately want to be all that you need.
Allison, you are smart, funny, sexy, beautiful, insightful. You are all the things I could ever want in a girl and so much more.
Allison Stokes,
I love you.
I always will.

Yours, Eric Foster

Happy Valentines Day!

So, I found out that there is a difference between getting hurt and getting injured.

Yesterday at work I was closing the gate to where we park our trucks when I slipped and fell. This sound rather mundane, right? Not so. The gate in question is about seven feet tall, nearly thirty feet long and rolls on one, just one, wheel. The damn thing has been run into top speed, bending it in half. Our solution was to run over it with a tractor and put a new wheel on it. So, as you may surmise, the gate doesn’t roll very easy.

I guess I slipped on a rock or something. Now the left side of my body is very sore and swollen. The arm is nearly useless and I have a limp. When I fell, I did so with such force that when my hip hit the ground it not only gave me road-rash but also tore my underwear.

So there ya go. I believe I’ll be fine. I’m on light duty at work and have enough drugs to keep, um, (add a joke here).

It’s been to long sense I have written. I suppose that now is the time.

Last weekend, the 2nd and 3rd of February, was a work weekend. Digging graves and that whole thing. You see, Tuesday was going to be very busy. We had five funerals! Of course, it’s not like we have a million people to work either. Nope, just four. We worked non-stop that day. When one funeral was ending the next was starting. A few of the funerals were stacked on top of each other as well. When the day ended, it ended. After all that work and skipping our lunch and breaks we didn’t even receive a “thank you.” The rest of the week was dead though. But I think I would rather it had been busy ’cause I hate just sitting around for eight hours. Oh well.

During the course of the week Allison and I purchased Across the Universe. That is a really bad ass movie. All of the songs, Beatles songs, were rethought but kept true to the original. Very well done. The story, revolving around some friends during the Vietnam War, was interesting. I will say, however, that without the songs to carry the film it would have been a very weak story. It seemed to get itself sidetracked at points but not in such a way as to turn you off from the movie. You should get it.

I can not wait for the lease to be up on this Godforsaken apartment. At first I had that thought because of how much I truly loath Gainesville and everything in it, but now it’s more because we finally have a way out. In August, or around then, we will be moving to the little sweat-stain town of Bluemound. In and of itself Bluemound is as revolting as Gainesville, but there are a few things that make it worth the move.

1. It’s not in Gainesville.
2. It’s in the Metroplex.
3. It is only five minutes from my daughters school.
4. I get my own “office.”
5. I get to be a regular dad now.
6. It’s close to a lot of things worth being close to, and far from Gainesville.
7. It has a back yard.
8. No rent.

So, yeah, it’s bad ass. I’ll be getting back into college to become a cop (and to support me while I go to school for web design) and trying to reconnect with all the people I’ve drifted from over the course of these last few years.

Allison and I seem to be doing fairly well. We still disagree on things, but not stuff as stupid as cookies.

Yes, life is good.

I found this little blurb over at G4tv.com. I can’t really say as to whether or not this will be cool or just suck, but it makes me think Facebook might have MySpace a little nervous. It has the potential to be cool but don’t expect anything beyond slapping a sumo around. :\

Cloverfield

So, apparently, I am the only person that I’ve talked to recently that liked this movie. I’m sure that I’m not the only one in the world that does, but seriously, how could you not like it? I thought the movie was done just right and really showed what an incident like that might actually go down like. It might seem silly to say it was realistic, but it was. I can also say that the way the movie was presented gave me a lasting case of the heebie-jeebies that no other movie ever has. I’ll keep spoilers out, but damn, U.S. 449 just seems like a depressing place now. I can’t wait till this movie comes out on DVD, it’s a must-buy in my book. Supposedly there will be an alternate “Director’s Cut” featuring a hard R rating. I’m also very interested in the prospects of a sequel. One of the rumors floating around is that if a sequel does hit, it won’t be a true sequel. The rumor floating around is that it will instead be another video, found at U.S. 449, that was recorded on 1-18-08. Anywho, great movie, go see it.

Love Is a Battlefield

Hmm… how to get started here? In my last post I talked about the dissolution of the relationship between Allison and I. If MySpace is to be viewed as a viable source of information then we remain single. But not so much. We have come a sort of agreement how how to resolve our connubial differences. Really all it comes down to is patience. We’ll see how it goes. Although I believe that things are looking up it still seems rather up in the air at the moment. Wish us luck…

This is the second longest I’ve ever had a girlfriend. Somewhere in the vicinity of one year and two months.
Now it’s over. Although, depending on who you ask, it could have ended last week or several months ago. Mine and Allison’s relationship has been rather rocky for a while now. I can’t really pin it down to what ended it. There are just so many things that were wrong with us, so many that I almost can’t tell you why we broke up.
I hate it though. I really love Allison. It’s just so hard to. I can only imagine that she feels the same way.
We have had so many good times, a lot of fun.
I was talking to my mom tonight and I said that Allison is somebody that would make an amazing wife and top notch mother. I also told my mom of all our problems.
One of the things I really appreciate about my mom is that she listens, actually listens, and only gives input when it’s asked of her. Of course, in the process of talking to my mom, I basically answered all my own questions.
After Allison and I left my mother’s house Allison asked me what I had talked with my mom about. I told her what was said.
Then we sat in silence. Not just any silence though, it was the kind of silence that cuts like a knife.
I figured

Eh, it can’t get worse.

so I asked her why she never spoke to me and that I wished just once she would give me her straight straight opinion.
Then she basically told me I was a looser and that that would always be the case.
So, I ended it once and for all. I don’t think we’ll ever be back together again.
All good things must come to an end.

or; You Got Served!

So, I had this awesome idea to go mucking around on the server end and completely erased phin-rott.com.

The database was intact though, so thank God for that. Now all I have to do is repair the damage to the widgets and some other things and then we will be back at 100%.
