How rude. I didn’t allow that. Nobody is allowed to take advantage of my tiredness. Oh, that sounds cool. Busy as always I see, yes. Tell Emma and the kids I said hi, would you? I feel like I haven’t seen them in ages. We should change that.

Come hang out with us cool kids sometime. And Emma.

“My little man and I were playing around and he said his first words today. I’m so happy because he said Dadda and I gave him a whole thing of cookies without feeding him . Does that make me a bad guy?”

[bandicootcandlestick]

Definitely not. If you give him cookies, he’ll keep saying it, so you’re just reinforcing something good. Totally fine. I am an expert parent.

It helps a lot to be surrounded by people that help make it fun, and in a way it helps pass all the time. Oh, that doesn’t exist to me either. The last time I had a lot of time off, it was about three weeks and that was it before I was back on the road again. Okay, so you try to stay close to home. I don’t think I would be able to handle kids because my job does take me all over the world. There are times where I don’t even see my house for months. Oh wow, 3? That’s crazy. 

Even when I’m not working, I’ve still got the kids, most of the time, which means I never get a break. I probably should take one sometime soon, but I like hanging out with them too much. I think it would depend on who you have your kids with, and if they would be willing to make it so you still get to see your kids as often as possible. Think about Chris Martin and how he tours the world with his band, but he has his kids tag along for parts of the tour, even lets them perform, and he has a very close relationship with them. That’s because him and his ex make it work. Yeah, 3. It’s a mad house, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ah, for a second I thought of a totally different roast but you did remind me of the roast of Bruce Willis tonight so thanks for that. But no, you’re right. That’s a good way to spend Sundays, too. I try to host a few of those when football’s on. 

Well, you know, why not throw both roasts together? Eat a roast dinner whilst watching somebody being roasted. That sounds like the best way to spend a Sunday. 

[evanstho-deactivated20180926]

Don’t you just— completely hate it with your guts, when there’s a certain melody stuck in your head, from some random song that you once heard, but you can’t remember the lyrics for your life? Not even a freaking line? Because I have this beat in my head and I’m actually going nuts, I won’t be able to sleep until I find this damn song. That’s a day in the life of Chris Evans for you, guys.

[bandicootcandlestick]

I feel like it’s even worse when there’s just one line stuck in your head, because you sing that line over and over but can never remember how the rest goes. That’s me with I’ve Got My Mind Set On You by George Harrison right now. I’ve listened to it a bunch of times in the past week, and I still don’t know anything line but the title one.

[themxnlynch-deactivated20190713]

They say Saturday’s are for the boys. I don’t know who ‘they’ are or what that really means exactly but since we’re designating days for things, I think Sundays should be for….nothing. Unless it’s football season, than Sundays are for football but since it’s not yet, it’s for nothing. This means I’ll be sitting on my ass all day by the beach with some beers and watching Impractical Jokers. If any of you guys are still around after the wedding and want to join, just hit a guy up and if you’re not, than at least give a guy some more suggestions on the best way to take full advantage of doing nothing. 

[bandicootcandlestick]

Sunday is the day of rest, so always chill out on a Sunday. Unless there’s the option to have a huge Sunday roast, then go for that instead. If the roast is extra good, you’ll end up in a food coma until Monday morning.

             — I have been struggling to find a date for weeks. Your girl has been wanting some attention, and I have yet to find anyone to bite onto my bait. I have been using apps, meeting up with people through friends of work - all have been complete flops. If any of you beautiful human beings can hook me up with a date, I will love you down forever. Please and thank you. 

[bandicootcandlestick]

Go to a bar, don’t leave there until you get asked out on a date by somebody. It’ll 100% work.

I feel terrible for probably not getting as much time with everyone yesterday as I wanted but it’s probably for the best. By the end of the night, I was pretty out of it in the best way possible of course. I kept wondering why the hell so many people were coming up to me saying we got renewed. I thought it was some marriage joke I should have gotten but come to find out after scrolling through a mass of texts this morning that it was because FTWD was renewed for season 5. I’m so excited but the last thing I want to think about it work, especially preparing to go to Bali. Thank you for everyone who came out yesterday. Eliza and I feel so loved and hope you all had an amazing time. And if there’s any particularly embarrassing thing that happened, you’re obligated to tell the brides - just saying.

[bandicootcandlestick]

I can’t believe you completely ignored me when I said hello to you yesterday.

No, I’m kidding, I wasn’t at your wedding, but congratulations! There’s few better feelings in the world than getting married to somebody you love.

Nah, I’m too tired to even try it today. You’re lucky. How’s that line from Alice in Wonderland? We’re all mad here. And it’s true. So what are you up to now? Any cool new projects I should know about?

No, I’m clever, and was taking advantage of your tiredness. That’s true, I don’t know anybody who’s not at least a little bit mad. I’m currently filming a movie about Brexit, as well as doing some press for The Grinch. Nice and chill, as always.

stoneemhq:

 Finee, but i think you aren’t that bad looking and that’s not a lie.

Oh yeah? When do you think I’m at my peak, looks-wise?

axtayjohnson:

I’ll only have to deal with a week of all that attitude unless they choose to stay with me longer then I’ll have to find myself a girlfriend to play middle ground between me and the girls. Yeah not ready to ever hear the “I hate you’s” it’ll break my heart.

You’ve got plenty of time to figure that stuff out yet, so I’m sure you’ll be fine, mate. It will, but all you can do is everything possible to not let that happen. You know, even if it doesn’t work.

[bandicootcandlestick]

stoneemhq:

 I’m trying to compliment you. just take the compliment??!

No, sorry. I don’t accept compliments that aren’t true.

Now that sounds a little smug there my friend. But fine, I’ll give you this. Mark it on your calendar. Are you really sure about that? Not verging on the insane? Maybe you’re just good at hiding it.

Prove that I’m wrong and I’ll back down, but you can’t, so I won’t. We’re all a little insane, deep down. It’s fine.

Wives have a way of doing that. I’ve been divorced for a few years but my ex Carrie still has a lot of things she likes to call me. Nothing bad at least, so it works out okay. How many kids do you have? I’ve got an 11 year old daughter, Caitlyn and an 8 year old son River.

That’s good. I think even if I managed to get rid of my wife, she’d still call me ridiculous names for the rest of forever, because she’s like that. I have three kids! Aerie, who’s 5; Quentin, who turns 3 next month; and Rosie, who’s 18 months. They’re all mad as a box of cats.
