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.

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. 

I Did Not Mean

 To make my last post about politics. All I wanted to do was share the story about me, and my friend Scott and Steve who had an incredible adventure helping my Dad with his car.  Instead, I delivered a rant like no other.  Sure, I included some history.  But not as much as I wanted to.  I get much more from reading history, than I do from following politics.  But I still just wanted to lay out how I feel about things.  Especially, considering the vaccine.  Even discussing the vaccine has been rendered political.  People, it was Trump who released the vaccine.  Nobody should be forced to get the vaccine.  But people should consider getting the vaccine.  When you consider the source, Trump, you realize that the vaccine is probably ok.  If it was the mark of the beast as you call it, then you wouldn't be able to get it without worshipping the beast.  We live in America, not Babylon.  This is a part of the deception....

The Carter Family - Keep On The Sunnyside (Live 1965) IN COLOUR!

I don't really know the history of the Carter Family.  For all I know, they are related to Jimmy Carter.  But I like this song!  I first heard it in the film O Brother Where Art Thou?  when I saw the film in the theater.  But unfortunately, the film featured George Clooney who came out against Trump.  So, I put off listening to this song, until I saw the Carter version of it.  I know of June Carter- she married Johnny Cash!
