			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now I know that I am not the most religious of people (by a LONG shot in some regards) but I would like to think that I normally try to live by this religious quote.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>With history dating back to Jesus in the Bible&#8217;s Book of Luke (thanks <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethic_of_reciprocity">wikipedia</a>), it seems to have stood the test of time. But lately (no specific one instance), leaves me finding this very hard in some situations across various aspects of my life&#8230; <img src='http://www.ericstoike.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;I love sleeping in on Saturdays<br />
And I love college football games<br />
I love not acting my age<br />
And good barbecue</p>
<p>Yea I&#8217;m a fan of Faulkner books<br />
And anything your* mama cooks<br />
Small mouthed bass have got me hooked on Sunday afternoons</p>
<p>Yes I love good cold beer<br />
And mustard on my fries<br />
I love a good loud honky tonky rock song Friday nights<br />
And hell yes I love my truck but I want you to know<br />
Honey I love your love the most</p>
<p>Man I love how Redman tastes<br />
Dam I love my Nascar race<br />
Any song sung by George Strait is country at it&#8217;s best</p>
<p>Yes I love good cold beer<br />
And mustard on my fries<br />
I love a good loud honky tonky rock song Friday nights<br />
And hell yes I love my truck but I want you to know<br />
Honey I love your love the most</p>
<p>I love</p>
<p>Yea I love scuffed up cowboy boots<br />
And broken torn up jeans<br />
My 4-wheel drive and 8 point bucks<br />
And rocky road ice cream</p>
<p>And hell yes I love my dog<br />
And Jack D in my Coke<br />
But honey I love your love<br />
Yea I love your love<br />
I love your love the most</p>
<p>I love your love the most&#8221;</p>
<p>Such a <strong>GOOD</strong> song! And the best part is that most of it fits me to a T. Football, not acting my age, beer, honky tonks, george strait, boots, jeans, 4 wheel drive, dogs, jack d&#8230; ya&#8230; that&#8217;s right. Oh! and Falon&#8230; <img src='http://www.ericstoike.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>* had to change this to <em>your</em> mom. Sorry Mom but you aren&#8217;t much of a cook. It&#8217;s ok though because I still love you for who you are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So let&#8217;s see&#8230;</p>
<p>So my last post was almost a month ago now stating that I really wanted to utilize this blog more and actually update it. Didn&#8217;t happen. Again. Why can&#8217;t I get this blog thing down? But for some odd reason, you guys are still here. I am never really sure why people come back here to read since there are rarely new posts but anyways&#8230; thanks for reading. Maybe this time I won&#8217;t vow to update more often and see how it goes. <img src='http://www.ericstoike.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So since my last post&#8230;. *cue dream like noise and pink smoke*</p>
<p>Wait&#8230; *add some dreamy noises too* <img src='http://www.ericstoike.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong>1/8</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Met with a psychologist &#8211; Wanted to get some help with attention issues regarding the work environment and relationship issues (possibly related). Was ordered to take some ADHD testing later on.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/12 &#8211; 1/16</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Dan and Dave gone on cruise &#8211; Work was quite busy with a manager and developer gone for a week. Answered more phone calls than I&#8217;d really like to but all and all&#8230; not a bad week.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/17</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Our first UAD event of 2009 &#8211; We went to a Ultimate Air Dogs event at the Macomb Mall in Roseville today. It was a bit weird for me since the mall is like 2 seconds from Steph&#8217;s parents but didn&#8217;t see any of her family so its all good. Not that I think it would be bad but probably just a bit weird. It was good to see the UAD family again! Can&#8217;t wait for more events in 2009. 2008 kind of sucked UAD event-wise&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/18</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Falon passed her field support test for the K-9 One search and rescue group as well as Mason passing his Level 1 test. Congrats to both of them! I am thinking about applying as an associate member since I go to most of the events anyway.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/20</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We looked at a SWEET house in Allendale that we later put a deposit on. We are now trying to find someone that wants to lease our house as we have to sign the lease on March 1st in order to get it. More on this later.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/21</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Day 1 of ADHD Testing &#8211; I met with a lady to do some ADHD testing. While I had previously joked about having it, its starting to affect things in life and wanted to see if there was something that could be done.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/22</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>GVSU Photography Club&#8217;s (blog) first meeting &#8211; A friend of a friend (Ellen) decided to start a photography club here at GV. Most of the members are freshmen or sophomores but oh well. We all like photography so why not join? <img src='http://www.ericstoike.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/23</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Day 2 of ADHD Testing &#8211; Took a 22 minute test where all I did was stare at a monitor with a blinking box. Probably will be diagnosed for sure&#8230; that was hard to concentrate after awhile.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/29</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Got results of the said ADHD testing from 1/21 and 1/23 &#8211; It&#8217;s official, I was diagnosed with ADHD. Not that it should come as much of a shock but&#8230; now I have a diagnosis to prove it. More on this later&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/30</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>IM Annual Trip to Craig&#8217;s Cruisers &#8211; We all went and had a blast as usual. A few people couldn&#8217;t make it but that didn&#8217;t slow the rest of us down one bit! Photos later.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>1/31</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>My 4 year anniversary at GV &#8211; I can&#8217;t believe that I have been full time for FOUR years already.</li>
</ul>
<p>And I think that brings us to now. I am sure that I missed things along the way but that&#8217;s ok. I can&#8217;t talk about everything&#8230; Or can I? <img src='http://www.ericstoike.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
