About Me

What's up
You'll have to pardon my rambled introduction. I have a habit of writing these via stream of conciousness so it's likely the prose will come out in no particular order.
Anyways, my name is Eric but those that know me call me E, Eraq, Edubbs, Edubbins, 'Dubbins or Lil-E. I grew up in Peabody but I've been living in Haverhill for the past 11 months. The reason I chose to move to Haverhill is because it was the only place I could find where I could get a place with two bedroom, two bath in my price range. I'm not sure why, but I'm obsessed with having multiple bathrooms. So much so, I was willing to forgo my dream of a loft with 15' vaulted ceilings.
I am the ultimate man of leisure. I know many people who have said if they won the lottery, they'd still work, but do something different than what they do now. I am not one of these people. I once got really really close to devising a fool proof get rich quick scheme. I still made $4K off of it before the powers that be caught on. Now the government is conspiring against me from repeating my efforts.
I don't have a particularly keen fashion sense and rely on my sister Ann to keep me looking fashionable. I'd say 70% of my wardrobe consists of either Polo or Nautica. If left to my own devices, I'd probably wear all fury clothed outfits made of velvet, velour or vellux. I'm also colorblind so that doesn't help my outfit matching abilities. I also like polyester because it hardly ever wrinkles. I hardly ever throw clothes away so I still have some things I wore 10 years ago. Doing laundry is probably on my 10 least favorite things to do.
I am extremely superficial, shallow and materialistic. Don't get me wrong, I still value morally good people, nice people and funny people. It's just my preference that they be hot as well. I am a terrible impulse shopper. I rarely window shop. I like buying unique things. I love gadgets. Just the simple act of aquiring a new possession gives me some kind of great satisfaction.
I am probably the most amoral person you will ever meet. I don't particularly strive to be a moral person. When I act like a morally responsible person, it's more a function of me wanting to be perceived as a good and moral person than me actually wanting to do something because it's the right thing to do. I would still say I'm not an immoral person either though because I rarely ever want to do bad things. Typically when I do something that would be considered immoral, there is an ancillary benefit that is the motivation behind it.

I'd like to meet a girl that is so hot that when I'm with her, people think I'm rich or famous because that would be the only logical explanation of why a girl of that stature is with a guy like me.

Guys and Umbrellas

I'm of the opinion that guys should never use umbrellas unless they are holding it for a female companion or the elderly.  I just find it to be an emasculating item and for the most part unnecess...

Find a determinist and punch him in the face

Go ahead and do it.  Don't be shy, they probably deserve it.  The great part about it is they won't blame you for doing it (if they really believe in determinism they won't).  Why? beca...

300 - MATFA

I'm going to steal an acronym from Paul "Fitzy" Fitzgerald and say that the movie 300 was MATFA or more awesome than fucking advertised. I've always been partial to epic war movies.  A laundry li...

The nothing paradox

I'm having trouble with the notion of nothing. Most scientists agree that space cannot be occupied by absolute nothing (also explained in the neverending story). This seems pretty logical. The problem...
