Well well well.. what do we have here? I'm so glad I found that message board for my blog! It's fun, I've got to edit it though so you can leave more than 200 characters.. not sure how to do that, can't find the right value in the javascript, but anyway. So, this weekend, apparently we all had an interesting weekend, mostly Mark... Dave got to work at 8am on sunday, that could be considered interesting... but in most cases that'd be boring. Mark, Mark, Mark.. drunky McDrunkerton... or something... Well I'm gonna make this message like a Senior quote in a yearbook: Shrek 2, Kevin, Kyle & Laura, Amanda, IHOP, High school friends, Shark's Club, Pirates of the Carribean, 4:00am, Network cable & x-box, Bowling, Mini-golf, Chinese, More Bowling, Almost Famous, Futon cushion on the floor, "Big Fish", 4:00am again, Hamburgers, Donnie Darko, Farewell.. and the weekend continues today, memorial day... Have A Nice Summer!!
Here's my post to the most wonderful person in the world. Ralph Wiggum! He is hands down the character who delivers the highest laugh:word ratio ever! Everything that is uttered with his voice is pure comedy gold: "Me fail English? That's unpossible." "Hi, Super Nintendo Chalmers!" "Eww, Daddy, this tastes like Grandma!" "I bent my Wookie." "The doctor said I wouldn't have so many nose bleeds if I kept my finger outta there." "When I grow up, I'm going to Bovine University." "I found a moonrock in my nose!" "That's where I saw the leprechaun. He tells me to burn things." "When I grow up I wanna be a principal or a caterpillar... I love you Principal Skinner!" "Principal Skinner, I got carsick in your office."
Why is it that nobody is ever online at 6am on a saturday when I get up to go to work?? I just can't figure it out. Even my dad, the perpetually early riser, was asleep. So anyway, I just realized I'll have to tape the t-wolves tonight, and I'm gonna watch it tomorrow morning, so if you try to ruin what happened... I'LL KILL YOU! So you all have a nice day while I'm working and if you feel pity on me call me, we can chat then. Alright... Have a nice summer! GO T-WOLVES!

the caption says, as I put it... So sad to live in a place where somebody would have this idea, and then do it! Unbelievable! Yes that is a mini-van with a camper for a truck bed on the back of it. You're eyes don't deceive you. And I'm not kidding, I took this picture today while working in an area where clearly rodents should have sex and that's about it, I'm never going back there, they may want to turn my car into a big refridgerator or something. 
what a day, what a day! I don't know, nothing really happened, it was just... a day. Kyle, my cousin, came home from Montana, that was interesting. Um... I found a big hill/rock in the middle of this field.. I'm gonna go back and take a picture of it, 'cause it was awesome, everything is soooo flat and then there's just this huge hill in the middle of a field. Crazy.. I'm not very good with metaphors it's like... I don't know. Well, gonna go watch School of Rock and eat some dinner, talk to you all later, have a nice summer!
so god damn pissed right now! no clue how angry it makes me when the game isn't decided by the players. bullshit... effin' bullshit.. no other way to explain it.. if anybody else saw that game and knows anything about basketball that was the worst officiated game I've ever seen. ok.. here's some more.. Karl Malone and Gary Payton should be shot and killed, they gave up being competitive in the NBA and taking a pay cut just to win a championship. Bullshit. They gave up everything that's right in a sport to make it more and more like the gayness of baseball, ie. the Yankees. They're already giving the fucking lakers the win on friday! Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit! a;ldgasasgdfjl;ksdfjkl there are no words to express my current amount of anger, i just wish i had some way to expend this energy without doing it the easy, like breaking stuff.. I don't usually get very angry about sports or anything like that that I can't control, but this game really

A post a day will keep the hecklers at bay. Cameron Diaz has a really big mouth, nothing that anyone didn't already know. But really, she was on Leno, really, really big mouth. So anyway... The T-Wolves lost today, :( makes me sad. Stupid Lakers! ahhh! Yeah, not a whole lot going on in my life. 18 days until i'm back in Eau Claire! yayy! Then I'll have some direction in my life and be able to figure out what the hell I'm doing. It's good to know where you're going, right now, I don't have a clue. There isn't any normalcy in my life. Everything is hectic and uncertain. Like just throw everything up in the air and hope it falls into place.. I dunno.. enough from me.. good night... Have a nice summer!

Took some new pics of myself today, the others are outdated by like a year. So since this is too big to be my profile pic, I'm putting it on here! Have a nice summer!

Ok, so that last post, well I dunno... I was angry at the time, just a billion little things emerging into one explosion. So anyway, I'm back to my normal non-agressive happy go lucky self... Today I discovered something I can do with my GPS that's quite fun. It's called Geocaching. Here's how it works. Somebody hide a box, called a cache. Then they record the coordinates of it from there GPS and post it on the Geocaching website. Then you go on there and look up the caches in your area and go out and find the one's that people have hidden, by putting the coordinates into your own GPS. Then when/if you find it you sign the log book to let everyone know you were there. And you take something, a key chain, coins, whatever there may be in there, and you leave something else, usually something that you got out of another cache. It's really cool. If you have a GPS or are like me and like neat toys like those, then this is reason enough to get one! They ar
People confuse me. I hate it when someone says something that they want or that they're going to do something, but then they do something different. I just don't know. If I could spend the next few months in the middle of nowhere with nothing but time on my hands and a lot of books to read, that would be so great. The last few months here in rapids have made me realize that I don't really need anyone else. I can do pretty good on my own if it weren't for not having any money. That's why the middle of nowhere is such a perfect place for me. Especially if it's free to live there. Live off the land if need be, and I would just do whatever I wanted to. If I felt like sleeping all day, I could sleep all day. If I felt like fishing, then I'd go to the lake nearby. Maybe it's the book that I just finished reading today. It's like a way better version of Old Man and the Sea. Well actually the only thing in common is that it takes place out at sea.
So today, I took full advantage of nice rainy day. I went to the park! Now I was contemplating leaving this message at that, but I suppose I'll elaborate. I didn't go to the park because it was raining, well, I suppose in a round-about way I did. But anyway, I went to the park because I don't like working when it's raining, and since I can pretty much decide whenever I want to work, I decided I didn't want to today. So, I went to the park and read about 100 pages of my book, Life of PI by Yann Martel. It's quite a good book I'd suggest looking it up and considering reading it, I haven't finished yet, but it's held my interest through the first 150 pages. So, I've got to be going now, but I'm sure I'll leave some more messages tomorrow. Have a nice summer!
Alright, the explanation that I'm sure you've all been wondering about, or maybe you haven't, but now you will, 'cause that's how it works. The origin of "Have a Nice Summer!" will be told... now. So my step-dad and I were in wal-mart buying some crap, 'cause that's all that they have there. This is a professor Tan type thing but, I hate wal-mart as much as he hates microsoft. So anyway.. we were in wal-mart and just checked out, now I have to set this up a little bit. It's December or maybe January, either way it's frickin' cold out. Also note, Wal-mart hires handicapped, both physically and mentally, people to be their greeters which is cool. So if you can't see what happened already... We're walking out the door and the greeter or in this case.. wait... what is the opposite of greeter?? A question that has perplexed many of us now... I've gotten suggestions such as leaver, sender, or ungreeter.. but anyway... when

Lucky you. You get to be the boss of a group of crazy-ass teenagers with more problems than the whole gang at the Girl Interrupted Mental Hospital. But you're wise, a good listener, no-nonsense and you take chances on people everyone else has given up on. You're the shit and you're in charge. You Joe, now where is Jane...? Which Empire Records character would YOU be? Hmmm? Have a nice summer! This quiz made while Angel was procrastinating her ass off.

I took this pic at a WWII veteran's memorial near Neilsville, WI on highway 10. Ain't it cool!?!? Have a nice summer! 
Well, things are certainly looking up, I got into chancellor's hall. For a view of my room this fall go here. I'm in room D. So yeah, that's what I have right meow. That's the awesome new info with me. Now let's see, there has to be something else... oh yeah! The T-Wolves have their decisive game 7 against the Kings tonight! w00t! Don't even try to get ahold of me, it won't happen. The cell phone will be off and the away message will be up, and if need be, I'll turn the computer off! That's how excited I am. I feel like there is some obligation for me to watch though, because every playoff game that they've won so far I was watching, and every one that they lost I didn't see, well didn't see all of it anyway, I caught the end of the first loss to the kings. So yeah, hopefully nobody really needs me tonight, 'cause they're gonna have to wait until after the game. It's just like a Packer game, same rules apply. So andyway,
Alright! New things are happening here at the blog o' ryan. no I'm not irish. But now all of you can leave comments to any of my posts! Isn't that exciting!?!?! Yes, it is. But don't worry about telling me how much my blog sucks, I already set up a filter so that those of you, david, that would say such a thing, your message won't be shown, so ha! so anyway.. I finally made some money today, so I'm gonna go party... by myself... by working more :( Have a nice summer!
We've got a full tank of gas, a half pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.. Hit it! Ah, the blues brothers, I love that movie. I could really go for some starburst jelly beans right about now. I don't really have anything to say tonight. I was in Eau Claire all day, that was interesting, it was real, and it was fun, but it wasn't real fun. So anyway... before I end up getting on some sort of rant about how much the spurs suck or something, I'm gonna go to bed. So to all of you faithful readers out there, whoever you are.. and whoever you aren't. I bid you, Have a nice Summer!
enlightenment is a funny thing. You can go years without knowing something and suddenly it's everywhere. Or as Lewis Black puts it, One day your neighbor says "there's a bear shittin' everywhere!" And you're like "that's ridiculous!" but the next day, the bear's following you around. 'Cause that's how things work. So, I actually sold something yesterday, I might even get $20 out of it after i pay for my expenses. Woohoo! The multitude of choices, how will I ever decide to spend that $20? Well, I could always save it, I know that I will need money for books at school, and gas and many other things. Then again, maybe going out and getting one of Doug Stanhope's cd's would be good, I've been wanting it for a while. Maybe I could donate it to charity and feel better about myself, no wait, That'd just make me feel depressed, mostly because I'm so close to being one of the poor homeless people that I'd b
So... I'm back from my three week ordeal in Appleton. It was alright, got to hang out with some people who I don't see all that often, and probably won't see this summer. It was hailing tonight and my car was parked outside.. makes me angry, hopefully there aren't any dents. i left appleton and got to rapids, just as i was turning onto the road that my dad lives on it started raining and by the time I got out of my car in his driveway it was starting to pour and within an hour it was hailing marble sized hail. The weather channel said that there was 1 inch diameter hail spotted in stevens point. crazy stuff... i'm looking at the radar now and most of the state is covered in either green, yellow or red. well that's really all I've got for now... I'll add more tomorrow... I've slept 11 hours total in the last three nights... so i'm tappin' out... have a nice summer
