Following is a glimpse into the mind of Erik Ritzman... a guy with far too much imagination, too much desire to travel, an opinion about most everything and who doesn't know how to stop trying to be the best he can be... come inside... you might like it here.

A Christmas message... sorta...

I'm not one to normally poke fun at those of us who are far more gifted and blessed than I am with the ability to look at life with such simplistic eyes. However, recently while looking up some other rather entertaining material, I came across the following clip: "Burger King - Employee Song", sung to none other than "Carol of the Bells". Unlike my most previous entry, in which profanity was rather prolific, this one is simple and easy to laugh at; unless of course you have absolutely no tolerance for ribbing of those who are deemed as being "mentally handicapped" in our "modern" society. If you are one of such people who are unable to make light of such things, I ask you now, what the "bejeebers" are you doing reading the likes of this page? Perhaps I should redirect you to the portion of my "Personal" page where it says rather clearly, I don't give a "patoot".
Get Lost! you anal retentive, righteously egotistical, moronic freak!! {Gotta love the Christmas spirit radiating from deep within.... mmmmmmm... can u feel the love?}

Before I let you go and since it's the frikin' holidays and all, let me just say thank you again to those of you who have supported me in my endeavors this year. Through all the many changes I've gone through, and all the other "masculine-bovine-excrement" I've subjected myself and others to.
A deep and heartfelt prayer goes out to my brother-in-law and his family for their loss this year of his mom Mary. She's looking down on me presently wishing I would soften my heart a bit I know it. Peace be with you Mary!!
Thanks to the Oltmanns and Turner family for your continued friendships and support. Thanks Jason and Wendy (Bailey and Devon, Marcy and Al) for your love and family like warmth you've brought to my life. Thanks Daniel for your service to our nations Navy, and your commitment to serve and protect. It's been awesome having a little piece of the Oltmanns family here locally. Dude, you're always welcome in our house, just as your family always made sure I felt welcome in theirs.
Important mentions (aside from my family of course) are the Pohick Bay Church Family, and the Peverall Family. You guys are truly blessed and touched by the hand of he whom this day is for. Thank you for your love and support over the past year. Thank you as well to those who have blessed me with opportunities to learn and grow both professionally and personally (you know who you are).

Finally, thanks to "The Big Guy" and his son. While I may not always represent his presence in my life, I recognize and give credit in the fact that I am nothing, nor is anything else, without his grace and mercy. May he have many blessings in store for us all, and may we all receive a gift of enlightenment, that we will clearly see and receive those blessings. It is a celebration of acknowledgement of his presence in our day-to-day lives that brings to pass this special time of year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Merry Christmas (you frikin' bastard)

OK, so you probably don't like my title, but then you probably haven't viewed the following clip, Foamy the Squirrel's Christmas Rant. I'll warn you now, the language in it is a bit "colorful", but if you are able to get past that, the whole thing is worth the watch.
Thanks to the wonderful and beautiful friend who introduced me to Foamy... his rants and "goings off" have provided me with great amounts of entertainment.

Thank you to everyone who has made this a special Christmas. I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful one.
