Beautiful Day For War Mar 6 2010

It felt good to unwind tonight. I have been a little stressed with day to day life. I have no clue why though. Life is simple I work, come home eat, and play. Really in that routine there is nothing stressful. Anyways that’s beside the point because it is dealt with. I Unwound with a couple good war flicks. First up Was The Hurt locker which is up for best picture and I can understand why. One thing he said during the movie that really made sense is that as a child we love so many things from out pyjamas to the mobile over our heads. As we get older we start to love less. Lover fewer and fewer things and by the time we are adults we love one or two things. That’s got me thinking that even today I love very few things. I enjoy a lot but love very little. Something to work on? Maybe. But it really is not something you can force it either happens or it doesn’t I can’t really prepare to love something or someone that connection just has to be there. Or it has to be taken away to realize it.

I enjoy these ramblings they force me to think about the thoughts that flash threw my head. The ideas that come and go and if I am lucky enough to snag one I can analyize it a little closer. I think it helps to keep me a little more level headed.

Enough rambling I am going to get back to watching black hawk down (my favourite war movie of all time). Have a good night and remember if life is worth living it si worth recording.

New Nephews Name = Crocodile Mar 5 2010

So I did not sleep all that great last night because I was super pumped on being an uncle again. It turns out it was a boy my mom laughed at me when she found out I didn’t ask. I was in a weirdly happy mood today at work. So much so that one customer who I have never met in my life but gave off the kinda cool vibe he said he was thinking of taking his son up to whistler for the summer. I responded by saying are you taking him up for the std’s or the mountain biking. We all had a really good laugh. After he composed himself with a dead serious face he said he is not taking him up there anymore. Which only made the situation more funny. The new guy was pretty sweet as well. I have to day I think once we get these new guys sorted that we will have the best staff to date.

One home I rocked a nap while boiling water and didn’t wake up. Stupid and dangerous I know and now my kettle is pretty damn black. So my kimchi was a little late. I was simply to lazy to even try to make anything tonight because the family was out visiting the unnamed child who Austin my other nephew has named crocodile. I have to say crocodile beese has a pretty awesome ring to it. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

It All Makes Sense Mar 4.5 2010

A Few Words To Sum Up A Big Day Mar 4 2010

I do not know how to put this but I am going to try my best. Today is a big day in my life It started simple enough going for a nice mountain bike ride spending some much needed time in the saddle. It is something about bashing through a trail with no technique that calms the soul. Instead of the bus I decided to take the hard way home and pedal. Again I took the long way instead of the direct route. I didn’t realize this when I made this choice because all I thought was I want to visit Dave and visit the guys at the shop like I usually do. At some point during that ride home it my brain started to work (a rarity I know). I got to thinking how does Dave do it. He is happy as a clam working at a bike store for someone else. He is happy being normal. He is at lat least from what I see enjoying the moment. Now I have big goals in life that I will achieve but I think when it all comes to pass that I may be happy being this normal. Being average. Working hard at something I enjoy.

I came home with this thought fresh in my head. When you are in a weird mood weird things happen. And just like that a sudden urge to clean came over me. I spent what little time I had cleaning even though I was dog tired. I decided that I wanted to see avatar tonight and decided to call Kristi. I didn’t think anything off this at the time. Maybe it didn’t mean a thing and I am over analyzing everything. We hit every red light. I mean every red light along the way as if this mechanical world was telling us to slow down and think.

The movie was awesome it wasn’t the hottest for plot but it was defiantly a spectacle to behold. The car ride home was something else though. Kristi and I spent the whole time talking. Not about anything in particular but everything centred around this world. That was the thing this movie centred around its world. I am now realizing that money isn’t everything. We all say this but it takes a day like today to realize it. Now do not get me wrong I am still going to work my ass off to make myself the best but I will not forget my where my bed lays. I know you are thinking to yourself “Evan has lost his mind”. This is probly the case. I am not a wizard of words, and I defiantly did not phrase this exactly how my brain thought it. I hope these few paragraphs are something we can look back on. This was defiantly a day worth recording, and as such I am going to end it with an old cliché. Sartre used to say that a man is what he does......his true self is dictated by his actions...and not only his but by acting for himself he acts for the whole of humanity....
is a man defined by his actions?

I am perplexed and do not know what to make of this late night rambling at this moment in time. I am confused. I do not know whats next. I do not know how tomorow will compare. I am not prepared. I am excited to see what the future will bring.

Mud and The Dentist Mar 3 2010

Hello god this is Evan here I would like to thank you for Saturdays because that means I can sleep in. now I am not a religious man but holy cats sleep is nice. I felt awesome today. I have hair on my head, and slowly growing out of my chest… no comment. Another good thing was the dentist. Horary for x-ray and a cleaning. Why is it that they make those x-ray blocks that go in your mouth the least ergonomic shape known to man? My mouth is not a square why is the piece in a square shape? Ripped it home on the commuter bike and went for a nice solo mtb ride. Got all nice and muddy and jumped in the shower. My bathroom was a mess to say the least mud everywhere. So out came the mop. All in all great day. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Evan vs. The Urge To Buy A Bike Mar 2 2010

Pretty raging Friday. I went to work came home ate, and had a nap. On a more exciting note The Gorillaz are coming out with a new album and the new song is off the chain. I personally think its one of there best yet. I also spent some time looking mountain bikes. Unfortunately I have caught the bug. I find myself itching to get mountain biking again even after just finishing a ride. It is making getting motivated to get on the trainer harder. I have to find a solution to this problem or else I am f’ed. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.

Everyday Average Life March 1 2010

So today was a little weird. It was the first day back to my regular life. The first thing on my mind was what the heck am I going to do with my time. However that conundrum was quickly solved when I got home from work. I decided dinner, a nap, and a core workout would be a good way to kick of this new everyday average life. Relaxing is the word I would use, so much so that I almost forgot to write my blog for the day. Remember if life is worth living its worth recording.
