My 55: revisited

Ten things I wish I could say to ten different people: 

1. I miss that summer that we spent hanging-out. Liza with "Z" will forever be our anthem. 
2. So many things have changed since last we met, but we still have each others backs.
3. We do rule.
4. You have me twisted in knots. You are such an inspiration at times and you take so much from me at others.
5. I wish I could give a portion of what you have given me all of my life. 
6. You played me for a fool.  So you no longer exist.
7. Our imaginations create universes.  I love that.
8. You are now a vain little shit, but at least you have learned to love yourself.
9. You will succeed, and overcome. I believe in you.
10. Being a Pillar is something I hold very close to my heart.

Nine things about myself:

1. No longer a secret: I am a tree-hugging, liberal hippie with yuppie tendencies . And I am not ashamed.
2. I sometimes seem very judgmental, but it is usually due to the fact that I am ignorant and needs answers to my questions.
3. I have trust issues, still.
4. Give me liberty or give me death.
5. Do not tell me I cannot and expect to not give me reasons why. "Because I said so" & "That's the way we've always done it" are not valid. They just piss me off.
6. My faith is ever changing and evolving. AS IT SHOULD BE.
7. I have found real love.
8. I get carried away.  Sue me.
9. As a result, I get burned. A lot.

Eight ways to win my heart:

1. Have passion in everything you choose to do.
2. Have some creative ability.
3. Eat with me. :)
4. Keep faith, and believe in hope.
5. Only let me have my way, when I really need it. Otherwise, don't.
6. Do what you think is honest and good.
7. Continuously push me to be better than I am.  I will reciprocate.
8. Hug me, and hold me a little longer each time.

Seven things that cross my mind a lot:

1. Does it?
2. I'm not sure I agree/understand...
3. Ya know....
4. Oh MY GOSH!!!
5. I know, right?
6. Oh, shut up...
7. Why did you do that?!

Six things I do before I go sleep:

1. Wash my face.
2. Brush my teeth.
3. Moisturize everything.
4. Talk to myself.
5. Read.
6. Make sure the doors are locked and the blinds are closed.

Five people who mean a lot to me: 

1. Kristopher
2. Gram/Mom
3. Larry
4. Rick
5. Barbra Streisand

Four things I'm wearing right now:

1. H&M undies
2. a teal button-down
3. my super cool eyeglasses
4. my Claddagh ring I got in the peat bogs of Ireland

Three songs that I listen to often:

1. I'm Not Afraid - Jason Robert Brown
2. I Wish - Scott Alan perf. by Rachel Potter
3. Closer - Tegan and Sara

Two things I want to do before I die:

1. Make the world a better place on a grand scale.
2. Find peace within.

One confession:

1. I seem to be the most confident person to the world, but I'm the most worrisome, scared, self-conscious person that needs validation from others.

The Bitch Is Back

After a too-long hiatus, I've finally returned to blogger.  Life has been turned upside-down since the last time I posted.  Kris and I were residing in Fort Worth, TX.  Not the most exhilarating locale, but we were growing to enjoy it.  Of course, as life would have it, things started to go South.

Anyway, we're back in Indiana.  Hoosiers again.  And diligently looking for employment.  It is depressing, but it must be done.

Love you all,

Evan James

Beautiful

It's been a long time since I've felt beautiful. I don't know if it's because of the weight-gain or my own insecurities, but I this could be the thing missing in my life. I want the admiration of people as I walk-by.

I miss the adoring fans....

On the road again...

Traveling is really taking its toll on me. I love meeting with prospective students and high school representatives, but the idea of not going home each night is a little depressing. I have a family now. Traveling holds nothing for me if I can't share it with the one I love.

I love my new place of employment! It's taking some getting used to, but I absolutely love it.

I know this entry isn't eloquent, but I need to be cathartic for a moment.

We are Jedi, that is enough.

This is Shaak Ti. Togruta Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council. She is one of the only Jedi to survive the Great Jedi Purge.

A few days ago, my friend, Tyler, and I decided to purchase a transport ship:

Called Infinite Horizon.

She's a real beaut'

We are really hoping to recruit crew members to be a part of our little voyage.

It should be good times.

I survived week 3 of TACRAO....my body has no recollection of this level of fatigue...

A New Life

So...

I've been in Tejas for about two and a half weeks now, and I love it!

Kris and I are doing well, and we both love our jobs. We're still getting our bearings, but we love Fort Worth.

This journey is still a little scary, but it's also super exciting!!

Love,

E

Beginning of the End

Today marks one week until my time at UE comes to an end. I have spent the last 6.5 years working my butt off in the halls of this fine institution. Whether as a student or an administrator, my college career has been filled with many experiences that have shaped my life; for better or for worse.
