Eric Dontigney
I am freelance writer and restaurant slave. Pardon my honesty. I meant a cheerful, fulfilled, restaurant employee. I earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Mansfield University with a minor in Psychology. Previous to that I earned an A.S. in Humanities and Social Sciences from Corning Community College. I am between bouts of education at the moment. This serves the dual function of allowing me to pursue freelance writing and spend time with my wonderful girlfriend. Graduate school is on the not so distant horizon.
I enjoy reading and writing about philosophy and maintain a philosophy blog through orble.com. Feel free to vist my blog at www.philosophyphilosophy.com any time. I've been trying to post at least once a week.
I also pursue my freelance writing through Elance and you can visit my profile: www.elance.com/php/profile/main/eolproviderprofile.php
