I know right!!??? I’m still trying to find out what makes me tick in this world. I love everyone, even though some I don’t seem to love as much. There’s a part of me that still believes in the inherent good of man, and a part of me that believes we are going to hell in a hand basket…  I’ve seen and done things that many people can or will only dream of. This is my personal little project to just see how good of a person I am and document how much I have grown. I don’t know if I will be posting daily, in fact I probably won’t but I will post when I have the desire. I hope that when I look back on this after however long that may be, that I will be happy with the outcome. Welcome to my life. I hope you enjoy your stay. :)</description><title>My Extraordinary Life in a Simplistic World</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @elsw)</generator><link>http://elsw.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Rocking a Newsies look today!!

I have an artist’s soul! Words are my closest friends, and free expression is my tool. Pain and strife is just as valuable as laughter and  joy. Each will teach me, instruct me and guide me in my journey towards creation. I have value! I am me, and I will not change who I am. There is nothing wrong with me. I am the way the creator/universe intended for me to be. I will always be fine tuning my existence. To improve the things I choose to improve upon. Not what others decide that I must change. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have had the greatest pleasure in life to make so many friends and experience the most wonderful relationships! Each has taught me to cherish each person’s Act in your life, and to applaud and cheer them on at the conclusion of their Act. To thank them for being a part of something pure and genuine to hold no grudges and walk them out hand in hand smiling and laughing for their visit. I am thankful to have learned these things. Every once and a while someone’s visit is just that much more spectacular and they become so much more. You experience love. Cherish that love for the time that you have it, and if it decides to leave, thank it for everything it has allowed you to experience, value it, and hold it close to you. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I will never take things for granted. Everything that we have in our lives has value, and needs respect. These are just a few of the eureka moments that I have experienced. I felt like sharing my thoughts. I am very grateful for my friends and family, for my relationships past &amp; new, for the times where I was down and for the times where I was at my best. You have taught me so much, and allowed me to experience LIFE! I can’t wait to see what is in store for me next! Thank you for everything, let’s see where this road takes us!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/29854936481</link><guid>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/29854936481</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Aug 2012 16:39:07 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Life Threw One Hell Of A Curve Ball...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8230; Life is not being fair to me right now&amp;#8230; I don&amp;#8217;t know what I should do&amp;#8230; It&amp;#8217;s not supposed to be like this&amp;#8230; things were getting better and improving and then a roadblock appears&amp;#8230; My mind is torn and confused&amp;#8230; I lay in waiting&amp;#8230; and the waiting is the hardest part&amp;#8230; tick tock&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/29469010451</link><guid>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/29469010451</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Aug 2012 01:20:00 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Fork In The Road... Where will it go?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;It’s been a while since I have blogged… I had a great evening again, even though it was based on somber circumstances… Everything I know and love is very much hanging by a thread… Although I keep fighting. I’m not sure what to do at this point… do I keep fighting or concede and lie in wait? I want to wake up and realize that everything is fine, that the stuff that worries me is gone. Crossing my fingers, hoping and praying. What does life have in store for me… will I keep the smile on my face, or see a frown? Stay strong…&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/29397358900</link><guid>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/29397358900</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Aug 2012 01:40:05 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>3:00 AM... </title><description>&lt;p&gt;So I have realized that I haven&amp;#8217;t posted nearly enough on my Tumblr, and I also realized that I had the wrong URL from my blog on my Facebook fan page&amp;#8230; yay me&amp;#8230; :/ Anyway, I thought I would make a post and satisfy my yearly quota. As far as my life thus far it has been great as usual. I have been doing the school thing and I have been actively a part of the Student Government program at my school. Which by the way I think is an amazing program and that everyone should try to be a part of if they have the chance. It offers great opportunities and new experiences. Also, as some of you know have have been working on my modeling career and recently have decided to pursue acting as well. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing photographers and I have been auditioning for any and all roles that I can to gain experience with the auditioning process and in hopes of actually being selected. On top of all of that greatness, I have also been dating the most amazing girl in the world, and it has been one hell of a journey thus far and I am looking forward to all the many adventure we will experience together! Well that just about catches all of you up with the latest in the life of John.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, go grab some headphones. The best ones you’ve got. If the best ones you’ve got are &lt;a href="http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB770G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0Ng&amp;mco=MTA4NTA2ODU"&gt;these suckers&lt;/a&gt; (or something similar), you should really go buy new ones, but use the best you’ve got for right now.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Take a break from whatever you’re doing for 2 minutes and listen, but just listen to the whole thing, even if you have to multi-task.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Headphones on? Ok. Good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, press play.&lt;/p&gt;

This is the one state in the U.S. that forgot about the whole separation of church &amp;amp; state argument. I don&amp;#8217;t care what you think, this state is run by conservative members of the LDS faith and they bring their religion to work with them instead of leaving it at the door. They should not be forcing their faith&amp;#8217;s doctrine on the citizens of this state. I have nothing wrong with the religion however, what I do have a problem with is creating laws so that the rest of the population is forced to follow your belief system. #2&amp;#8230;&amp;#8230;&amp;#8230; wait for it&amp;#8230;&amp;#8230; THE SNOW!!! It&amp;#8217;s so effing cold&amp;#8230;!!! Why does it have to snow so damn much during the winter&amp;#8230; I&amp;#8217;m ok with a little snow, but when I have a 5 foot bank of snow in my yard I have issues&amp;#8230; Well that&amp;#8217;s my rant for the day. :) Thanks for reading and following my blog. :)&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/12372920071</link><guid>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/12372920071</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Nov 2011 10:06:15 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>So true… I’m currently in position # 2 :p</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltqdgsH6xx1qlo4jpo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;So true… I’m currently in position # 2 :p&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/12017853507</link><guid>http://elsw.tumblr.com/post/12017853507</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:36:36 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Modeling...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;So yesterday was when I had my first paid modeling shoot!!
