For the past few months, ABC 23 has been following Eric Porter, the station's sales manager, who has been waging a courageous battle against a rare form of cancer. ABC 23 is very sad to report that Eric passed away in his sleep early Wednesday morning. When Eric's cancer had returned for the third time, he was ready for the fight. He approached ABC 23 with the idea of following him for the next six months, hoping to shed a positive light on battling cancer. Even though he is no longer with us today, his fighting spirit will continue to live on. If you ever came across Eric Porter, you couldn't help but be drawn to his bubbly personality and positive attitude.Having beat cancer twice before, Eric wanted to share his latest battle before an audience. "I want people to know that it is something that you can do, and that you can beat," said Porter. Eric really wanted to inform people of the treatment cancer patients can receive locally. So he let ABC 23 follow him while he went through treatment at the Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center. "It's nice you can get up off of your couch right here in Bakersfield and come to the best place probably in the state of California and get treated," said Porter. Eric had his good days, and maybe some not so good. "There are days that are tough, there are moments that are tough. And you're not Superman everyday but the more good moments you could put together collectively the better you're going to be." said Porter. Sadly, Eric was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago with pneumonia, and passed away from its complications. He leaves behind his wife, Laura.  Eric was just 40 years old.

There will be a memorial gathering for Eric this Saturday night.  Contact me for information.

Alright you guys.  I have gotten to the point where b.com has become too much of a battleground.  It used to be fun.  Not so much anymore.  Maybe I am just dealing with too much crap in my life.  Everything is a fight.  I'm tired and I am over it.  I'm sure most of you don't care, but I have lost interest.  It just seems like everything that is said is taken as a personal attack.  Maybe I have had too much July 3rd libation but seriously.  Not fun anymore.
