About Me

My name is Evener. I'm of Haitian descent. Born in Freeport, Bahamas. Been living here in Florida, most of my life. Since '86. So after 22 years, I've become pretty Americanized. But as I get older, I desire to learn about my roots and other Caribbean cultures. I'm trying to create my own sense of awareness, by blending different customs and traditions of Caribbean cultures I find intriguing. I love all flavors of Caribbean cooking and music. Haitian. Jamaican. Cuban. Trini. Bahamian. But not only Caribbean cultures intrigue me.

I enjoy learning about Samurai's and the way of their life, traditions, Japanese gardens, and art. It's the closest thing I know to being a Jedi Knight. So, yeah, I'm a Star Wars fan. A bit of a tech geek too. I'm no bad boy. But I know how to have fun and enjoy life. I'm passionate about dancing, basketball, cooking, and jogging. I love them.

I want to dance for the rest of my life. I want to learn it all and enjoy it all: salsa, flamenco, swing, ballroom, tango, etc. But the love of my life doesn't know how to dance (yet), so a part of me feels hollow at times. :-/ But that's okay though. She's been with me through some tough times. I could care less about dancing right now...

Anyhow, most of my other interests revolve around my computer: basic web design, music, education, & writing. Don't really have time to chat. I'm starting to blog though. I'm not ready for vblog. I'm a better writer than talker. I also enjoy learning about different philosophies, cultures, and ancient civilizations.

I'm not a gym rat, but I like working out once or twice a week. I try to eat right. I eat an apple about once a day. It's the easiest, healthiest, and quickest snack I can grab while I'm going somewhere... Geez, I can't believe how boring I am. Ugh!

Random things I like or enjoy that I haven't mention. Wikipedia!! Wes Anderson films. Any movies by the Frat Pack. Architecture. Naruto (anime/manga). Doing laundry. Yes, I actually enjoy doing laundry. Time alone listening to music. Enjoying a good conversation with a few good friends.

There's so many facets to who I am. My individuality is filled with oddities that don't match. I don't know how these identities came from the same core-personality. I don't fit into any stereotypes.

You can be my friend if...

you're looking to make friends and have a common interest with me. Age, race, sex, location doesn't matter to me.
