Eric's New Life 2014

My Daddy and best friend ... Helmut (not pronounced Helmet, but rather HellMoot and Vogt correctly pronounced VOTE, like vote in the elections) Vogt, The Greatest Man I Ever Knew In MY Life or Will Ever Have Known, has died. 

No, he wasn't a King, a Prince, a President, a top political official, a Prophet, a successful celebrity, a Lottery winner of hundreds of millions, not that he didn't try all his life. He was all of those combined and more. He was a very simple man, one who loved everyone he crossed paths with, one who was loved by everyone. I never met anyone who didn't take to him immediately.

As he progressed in years, I saw a need to care for him more and more. I eventually moved in with him, taking care of him as much as I could, to make sure he spent every last breath IN HIS HOME where he belonged, NOT in a skilled care facility, left to die, cold and alone like so many. When I moved in with him I had a very lofty nest egg, tens of thousands. As time went by, I spent a lot on him, making sure he went here, there, did this and that, had the best my little bit of money could buy. Eventually it all was gone and his lucrative pension than supported us both ... up until the end.

I now have to GET OUT of the home we shared for many years as he had a Reverse Mortgage on it (mutually agreed). All my life I wished for a chance to enter the Entertainment Industry, any way, shape, or form. I am well aware that the only way to get in there is to KNOW SOMEONE (so, won't you be my new BFF?), and that has been confirmed me time and time again by insiders. Doesn't matter how much college education you have, how many degrees, nothing more than WHO YOU KNOW who is already working there.

I tried at one point in time to enter the world of Celebrity Photography, my first shoot was the ever so sexy Betty White at Barnes and Noble in Santa Monica. Since I refuse to chase the well-to-do down the street, stalking them at their homes, fancy restaurants or other popular hangouts, compromising their safety and security, making their lives difficult when out in public, there was no money to be made. The book signing events that I began attending, also attended by Getty Photographers were not about to pay anything, not to me anyway. So, once I knew my Daddy needed me 24/7 and that it would take an act of God to get in to the world of celebrity photography without compromising my morals, values and integrity, I changed direction with my photography and took my Daddy with me to every invitation I received, taking his picture with the celebrities and not trying to make a buck on taking their pix, which I never did anyway ... make a buck on any of their pix.

I took my Daddy's picture with World Icons and greats such as (not in order by date) Royalty, her highness, the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, Regis Philbin, The Fonz (Henry Winkler), Maria Shriver (twice at SOSC's annual Pier Del Sol event on the Santa Monica Pier, where you will most likely find me again this year (Oct. 2015), Maria Menounos of Extra TV Magazine, Len Goodman of Dancing With The Stars, Jerry Mathers (TheBeaver), Tony Danza of Taxi Fame and Who's The Boss, Valerie Bertinelli of many shows, most recently in Hot in Cleveland and ultimately Daddys most recent favorite ... Derek Hough of Dancing With The Stars. View the pictures HERE ...

How many children do THAT for their Mother or Father? NONE, that's how many. Next on my radar was Arnold and Betty to photograph with Papa, sadly, that will now Never happen, although I did try, just never got my request in front of the right staff member. Just like taking his picture with his other favorite Huell Howser will never happen now. I got so close to doing that, however, knowing now what I didn't know than, being busy myself, I missed out on that opportunity I'm sure my Daddy has shaken hands with Mr. Howser now and thanked him very much for all the years of enjoyment he has brought him through his extensive travels working at KCET.

For those still reading ... what I need now is compassion. I gave up my life to care for my father and make sure he NEVER wound up in a skilled care facility. I could very easily have placed him somewhere thinking to myself "Sad that he's getting old and requires close daily care, I have to look out for myself, I need to create an income for myself, I need to worry more about MY future, I can't worry about him, when he dies, what will I do then?" Well, that time has come all too soon, my father no longer exists. I need those who always want to help those in dire need to reach out to ME NOW. I want to work my ass off in the Entertainment Industry, eventually as the Next Tom, Bergeron, Bosley, Cruise, Hanks, grin. Would ultimately love to ACT, who wouldn't. As a child, my parents always said I was "such an actor", hmmmmmm. Are you willing to forgo that possibility of missing out on discovering The Next Tom? However, ANY entry-level position offered will be considered, in any field. I know there are highly successful men and women in the Entertainment Industry who have given so much of themselves to care for their mother and or father in their final hours of need, who know exactly what I went through, what I'm now going through, who have the ability to reach out and help me without asking someone else's permission first. Perhaps just one of them reading this had to do it like I am, ALL ALONE, no siblings, no friends, no family to help, just ME, ALL ALONE. It's all still so fresh, It's very hard being in this home all alone without my Daddy. I'm sure that getting out, socializing, be around other people ... successful people, will change my state of mind.

I have (today still) my Fathers 40' luxury RV that I can utilize in the Industry, either to live in on location or to offer for use by celebs as an on location residence or ? (pic below), I'm working on starting a charter business using the coach. I also have Daddy's handicapped van with a nice cargo trailer that I can use to transport props or lighting or what have you to on location settings or event sites.

I gave my life for my father, I did everything within my capabilities to take care of him in his final years, months, days and hours. Like veterans or law enforcement who give of themselves so unselfishly, is there nothing good for me now that I truly am in need of major help?

I feel I am a good person, I'm always looking for ways to help others, however, one must be stable in his or her own life before they can reach out, help and do for others without asking anything in return. For several years I volunteered for the Sight Impaired and Blind at the Riverside Braille Club, I had to give that up as well. Unlike many of your team members with spouses, children or other things tying them down or limiting when they can be available, I have NOTHING nor ANY1 to tie me down. I have a valid passport and can travel the world with no strings attached (safe regions only please, no war zones). The things I enjoy are photography, travel, driving, helping other people, being a part of an A Class team that is highly relied upon for perfection. I am considered a perfectionist myself, everything has to be "just right" in order for me to be even somewhat satisfied. Love bicycling along the OC boardwalks, Santa Monica, Venice and area boardwalks and love playing tennis as well. I speak English and German. Ich spreche Englisch und Deutsch. The German not perfectly, but good enough to communicate without any issues.

I know how to dress when going out in public, I have NO tattoos or piercings and never will. I have never and will never do any kind of drugs, not even marijuana. Used to smoke years ago, but rid myself of that habit as well and have given up alcohol last year as well, just see no purpose in it right now. 

I don't want to have to GET OUT of this home, don't want to have to get rid of everything my father had and that I have. I need help and I need it NOW.

PLEASE, somebody, show me the love I have shown unconditionally, give me a decent paying job TODAY in the Entertainment Industry, I know there are many entry-level, good paying positions still available, many for which a doctorate is not required. I am going to offer my real contact information, please do not contact me with negative comments or well wishes, this info is strictly for prospective help from the Entertainment Industry or those in positions of high authority in any industry who can hire and dismiss without having to answer to anyone else in relations to potential employment. Sadly, I don't have the time to go to school and acquire a certificate or degree(s), I need an income, and I need it TODAY. Let's go Hollywood, Chop Chop!! Discover me already dammit! Yeah, I am getting better lookin' every day, but Heaven knows, I am not gettin' any younger. ;)

I am not looking for charitable contribution, a hand out, something for nothing. You and your team will not be let down, I will go above and beyond, doing my best or better to work in hopes my compensation will allow me to save what I have today.

This has been and continues to be extremely difficult for me, having to grovel to strangers in hopes just ONE will come to my rescue. Well, as many say ... Never give up, never give in, keep trying, you will eventually achieve your goals ... AND I WILL, with or without YOUR help. Web Stats show that Thousands have viewed this Blog and my profile, I guess just not the Right Person(s) yet.

Thank You for your help. Looking forward to working with you and or your team.

I'm just beside myself, not a peep from one decent human being. I guess everyone googles me, finds monstrous things written about me and what they see is all there is, it's the truth and I'm like a virus. Remember people, there are two sides to every story, not everything you read on the internet is fact. I do NOT discuss my past with anyone as it's no ones business. House going to auction in a week, guess I'm destined to live on the streets with all the other low life garbage.

Thanx for nothing world!!!

Danke Schön 
Merci
Thank You
