I am here for Friends

About Me

One Love !! My name is Eric. Well, what you should know about me is that I am a fan of the underdog, the third world culture, others who struggle for peace and justice, mother-nature and my friends and family. I am originally from the city of Oakland and other parts of the East Bay (Fremont mainly). I now reside where the hussle and the struggle coincide...Seattle baby! I have issues with alot of organized religion (aka mind control). I am EXTREMELY disturbed about the fact our nation actually voted George Bush to a second term. I have a B.S. in environmental health and work as a Research assistant for the Univeristy of Washington focusing on water quality and other microbial health issues. Well, there is more to tell about me but I'm sure you are bored by now!!
