About Me

That Dude EddieAbout That Dude Eddie: Mmm, such a difficult topic… It’s either impossible or too time consuming for me to describe to you who I am using words. I can start by saying that I have a goal in mind. This goal will fall victim of speculation and undermine due to lack of understanding. That’s fine, though, because I’m aiming for a specific audience, that of which can comprehend what I’m saying. Now that you’ve read this far in, I can safely reveal to you that I’m not revealing who I am through this post, but instead, you’ll have to learn, little by little, who I actually am through all my other posts. Spotify is pretty cool. Much love you! 😀

About this Blog:

This may be easier to do. That Dude Eddie is my official poetry blog. Here, I give a piece of my heart in every poem I write. Sometimes my poems may be on the complex side, causing them to be difficult to decipher. Even still, I challenge anyone to do this because I love hearing different criticisms and analyzes.

Accomplishments:
My first ebook, titled Latex Dreams- A Collection of Poems by That Dude Eddie is now available! Please visit the link provided to choose your format and check it out!

Be sure to visit my Awards page to see all of the awards I’ve received from my fellow peers!

Either way, thank you so much for stopping by!

PEACE and LOVE to you! Have a wonderful day! 😀

  18. Good to see you again Eddie, thanks for the Like on “mozaic”. So, what’s up with the book? Given more thought to doing it? This would be a pretty good test market for it. And, just my opinion, you don’t need anyone else’s opinion on what to put in it…I think you have plenty to share, in your own way. Should be stuff YOU want out there…not what others want to see. Agree?

  61. People are complex and it may take a while to figure them out. The problem is that I will be eighty in a couple of months. Will there be enough time for me to figure you out? Most likely not. But, the exercise itself is interesting enough. So…I will try to enjoy the quest ….while trying to figure out who you really are.. The task is daunting.
    Nice though that you visited me and liked my poem. Thank you.

    • Not a problem, I will be sure to check out more of your stuff. You could all ways check out the previous posts in order to do some catching up. 🙂 Also thank you for leaving such a beautiful comment.

  88. Hello Eddie! I’ve read some of your poetry and WOW! What a gift! I came by to say a belated “thank you” for liking my post, “A Pit Full of Purpose”. I’m sorry, this past week has been pretty hectic for me. But at last, I’ve found another poet and what a word-smith you are. God Bless you Eddie, I pray that He continues to enlarge your gift and that you share it with the world.

    Blessings,
    Rebecca 🙂

    • Thank you ever so much for such kind and encouraging words. It really means a lot. God created us in His image and we where born to create ourselves. So we should never deprive the world from the gift of creation that was given to us. Stay Awesome.

  142. If you could not speak, what would you write – instead?

    Hey, I’m EM. I was stalking the blogs of people who followed me and your poetry really caught my eye. Just a few words of imagery and I had to scroll back up to read the entire poem . Congrats on your talent. Anywho, I don’t really like to assume but I’d guess from your blog that you followed mine because of the poem I posted? Unfortunately, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong about that previous statement, I don’t post much poetry on WordPress. I do however post poetry every Tuesday and Thursday on EtherealMelody.Net. I Iike your “About me”. It reminds me of, well, something I’ve said a couple times.

    Cheers,
    Ethereal Melody.

  143. You’ve created the element of surprise. I like that. You’re very talented, from what I’ve read so far. I’m looking forward to learning little by little who you are through your words. So far, it speaks volumes.

  144. Hi,thanks for visiting City Jackdaw, not been going long.
    Just read your Lunge Through Lunar-liked it, reminded me of Morrison.
    The sky is foreign
    The moon is frozen.

  145. Hey Eddie! Thanks for the follow. You got some good stuff. I don’t write poetry all the time but I hope you enjoy mine when I do post it. Mostly lovesick and lonely stuff but I like to have fun too. Keep up the good work!

  166. Thank you for following, Mr. Eddie!
    Or, did I get your name wrong? I was assuming Eddie was your last name, but it just occurred to me that maybe you meant it like ThatDude, Eddie, making Eddie your first name, and ThatDude your last name….Unless ThatDudeEddie is just your first name.
    I’m confused and frustrated, mostly because MY name is weird enough already!
    Either way, your poetry’s great; I like how you stay descriptive while touching some emotional resonance!
    I will return….
