Sort of done with this

I've grown tired of the blogging.

Does anyone even blog anymore?

Week 48 in 2013 - Thankful

Week 48 in 2013 - Thankful, a photo by MichEric248 on Flickr.

4 more photo weeks of 2012 remain

I'm really considering not doing this anymore.
But what will I do?
I would like to take up surfing.

Well carp!

I just joined Flickr! I had a personal "issue" with Yahoo! in the past and cancelled my accounts. Moved it all to Google. Refused to rejoin. Blah blah blah. I guess my private protest did nothing to Yahoo!'s bottom line. SO today I tried to look at a picture and it sent me to Flickr. Before I hit the big red X to close the web page I noticed this statement: "Sign in with Google." SO I signed in with Google and it automatically made me a Yahoo! account. Thanks. Now I cannot blame myself for crossing my own picket line.

.

Now I can maybe join the 52 of 2011 Flickr group and show my weekly photos to the WORLD!

2 YEARS OF THIS

Today marks the end of the second year of

This is Eric's Blog.

.

There was no fanfare.

There was no parade.

There was no day off work and school.

.

Hell, I even forgot about it and posted this two days later. Doesn't ANYONE care?

.

In case you haven't been paying attention:

11/22/2008 - blog begins with a posting EVERYDAY (Something to say)
and soon after I became (happily) unemployed.

11/22/2009 - not much to say everyday anymore so blog goes into sporadic limbo.

1/1/2010 - blog turns into a photo a week project!

10/2010 - I get off my lazy butt and go back to 9-5 work.

11/22/2010 - 2 year celebration with a new, smaller camera arriving in the mail.

Sorry G9, but you can be just a bit bulky at times.

More later on why I bought a smaller point and shoot and not a kick-ass DSLR like an inspiring master photographer like myslef should have. Stay tuned!

My 52 Week Photo Project

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

After the first year of 'something to say, every day' this blog had no real direction (a lot like me these days) and was being sporadically posted to. Now direction has been found (at least for the blog) and will consist of a photo a week, every week. That gives me 7 entire days to come up with an original blogable photo and perhaps something to say about it. This also means I don't have to think of a witty title for each post. Oh what a relief it is!

I will loosely follow the Flickr group '52.5 of Twenty Ten' and companion Wordpress blog 'fifty two point five' when added inspiration and/or direction is required. I mean I would hate to make an actual commitment and join the group!

YEAR ONE DONE

This is Eric's Blog started one year ago

on November 22, 2008.

Something to say... every day.
A collection of my daily thoughts, rants and pictures.

.
There have been 358 postings. Once a day. Everyday. Something to say. More or less with a few exceptions. A couple days of double posts and for some reason nothing to say on April 30th. There was also 8 days off in February to go to St. John for an internet free week.

.
Now the blog (meaning me) needs a break. From here on in posts will be sporadic. Perhaps once a week. That sounds good in theory: Something to say... once a week. (But it doesn't rhyme.) Or as one commenter suggested to me the posts could be: When I freaking feel like it! (But that's kind of rude and I would NEVER be rude!)

.

Check back in from time to time!

Two weeks notice

Dear Mr./Ms. Blog Reader:

Please accept this posting as my two-weeks notice of resignation. My last day of blogging every day will be November 20, 2009.

This was not an easy decision to make. I am grateful for the rewarding daily blogging I've had with This is Eric's Blog (Something to say... every day.)

After much consideration, though, I have accepted a position with another non-daily Blog format.


Sincerely,

Eric of This is Eric's Blog

My blog begins.

Since I have decided to jump ship from the Motor City Titanic better known as Chrysler LLC (aka Chrysler Corporation, DaimlerChrysler, The New Chrysler and even AMC) I will have some time on my hands to blog. I'm sure all will enjoying reading my thoughts and prayers.
