My Introduction

My Introduction

By Eric McCarty


    This photo includes me:

My brothers and nephew.
along with my brothers, and my nephew.  My brother David on the left works in transportation.  My brother William, center, is a Marine set to separate and return home.  Both have done service.  My nephew, Jacob, has grown so much since this picture was taken.  I think we just returned from hunting on the farm.  We did something on the farm that day.
    I was born in Wichita Falls, Texas.  My earliest memories come from Springtown, Texas.  Over in Parker County.  I can still remember the yard, the tree in the backyard, the house, the spider infested shed.  I also remember a dog house.  Andy was the name of my Mother's Cocker Spaniel.  One day, I was out playing and I heard and saw an airplane fly overhead.  I remember thinking, "It would be neat to see a jet".  
    In the summer of 1988 my parents moved to Fort Worth.  I still can "see" my parents and my brother loading objects into the moving truck.  I vaguely remember how a bunch of people came and helped us move into the house in Fort Worth.  We could hear, see, and watch the jets from our backyard.  We had two dogs: Bridgett and Brandy.  My dad did school.  My Mom taught.  She now teaches at Martin.

    In 1989 my father, who trained for aerospace, after being laid-off from the Oil and Gas industry.  We moved up to Everett, Washington, and on August 25th, 1989 I still can see the big moving trucks with all of our household goods.  My dad went to work for Boeing.  Now, he drives Grubhub and Uber.
    I also have two sisters.  Elizabeth and Meagan.  I have no pictures of them.  I will try and get a photograph of each of them.  They both have a family now.  
    While I grew up, we home schooled.  Because of being home schooled I developed many different interests.  Computers, History, films, music, World War II, Geography, computer games.  Also, I am a veteran.  I served in the United States Navy on active duty from 10MAR2003 until 21NOV2014.  While in San Diego, I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome.  I moved to Arlington to attend school.  I have taken classes at Tarrant County College (TCC) and University of Texas at Arlington (UTA).  I now work at Albertsons as a Courtesy Clerk and Sanitation Clerk.  I am a non-drilling reservist in the Navy.  Last but not least, I am a Christian.  After the COVID-19 and the election of Trump in 2020, I have taken a different view in life.  That is a wrap.  Please enjoy my blog.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...

Filling Out the FAFSA

 Along with re-applying to UTA I also filled out my FAFSA for 2021 and 2022.  I always forget to fil out my FAFSA.  But this year I did it because I am re-applying for school.  I intend to use the GI bill rather than student loans.  But it is on the to do list.  You can fill out the FAFSA yourself at  https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa .  I need to order transcripts according to my checklist.  But UTA already has my transcripts.  Still, I guess I will find out whether I need to do so in the next day or two.  It is a weekend that I submitted my application.  So, I need to allow a couple of days.  It will be good to be back in school.  After working at Albertsons maybe I can tough it out a little better now.  I have a bit of a work ethic now.  I cannot wait to start.  Not sure if I will start this fall, or next spring but I am determined to finish my studies.   Scott is going to come b...

Rhetorical Writing Triangle

  Rhetorical Writing Triangle I wanted to run an advertising campaign.  To test out the features of pinterest business mode .  I chose this Rhetorical Writing Triangle to advertise.  The campaign has generated 61 clicks.  It is clear, I do not know what I am doing.  But I am interested in learning so I could help out and maybe make some money.  It is clear, many people want to learn about Rhetorical Writing.  Yet, do they even teach it in school?  I have no idea.  I was home schooled.  But I did attend Christian Liberty Academy.  I remember some of there Grammar involved Essay writing.  Book reports too.
