new journal styles up and running

Posted on by Eddie

After hours of working on this, and tweaking, and what not… I’ve revamped my journal looks… both my main journal page and my friends page. The friend’s page template I took from ilubmoney, who is very talented. After tweaking with that one for a bit, I tweaked another one for a while also for my main page. I’m happy with them… for now.

I’ve also added a guestmap on the journal page also. It is pretty damn nifty… it is a map of the world where you put in a little icon of yourself on where you are located, with some comments and such. Groovy.

I’ve also been amused at the weather pixie’s changing clothes as the temperature here in Oregon dropped twenty degrees in the last five hours.

I was born in Arkansas and graduated high school in Mississippi. I joined the Marine Corps in 1989 and travelled the world for the next five years. From 1994 until 2004 I lived in California, Arkansas, Texas, and Oregon, going to different colleges (UAM, UH, UO, PSU) trying to 'follow my bliss' and live a life. In 2004 I joined the Oregon National Guard and deployed to Iraq. I recently completed two degrees (psychology and philosophy) at Portland State. I currently work as an infantry instructor, a cofacilitator with a domestic violence group, and a military culture consultant with a psychology research department. I intend to go to grad school and further my psychology training. My interests are of what makes a life worth living, what makes people flourish, what gives us hope after trauma, how do we continue to go on instead of giving up, how do we build good relationships, how do we 'live'? These have been central questions of my own for decades. My interests are what seem to be as diverse as ecology and environmentalism (politics, ethics, biology) to gender studies (masculinity, gender roles, schemas and scripts) to trauma and resilience (PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger issues, domestic violence). Yet I would argue that they are not diverse but really interconnected, related and influential to each other. My writings here are usually as it comes to me. Here and there are a paper that I turned in to a class or the like. But for the most part these are my wrestling with ideas and emotions. As such there are contradictions and changes and failings as well as insights and triumphs.
