Here's an assignment for ya... I have to go to a fast-food restaurant and eat. Then I have to get the nutrition information and find out how bad for me the stuff I just ate was. Then write a 1 page paper on how I felt after I ate it. Clearly this goes hand in hand with excercising and learning about nutrition and stuff. So anyway, I've got a bunch of calc to do, so, if you don't mind, or even if you do, I'm gonna go do that. Have a nice summer!

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got my Chapter 1 Calc test back today, I got a 95!! woohoo! So awesome... that's only a 61% improvement over my chapter 1 test from last fall! :) go me! Anyway, I have class in a bit, and some homework to do. And I work tonight :( So I'll talk to you all later!
Have a nice summer!
Hey Hey Hey, I'm gettin' a boat...
Not really, but Fat Albert is... or something.. if you've seen the episode of Family Guy you'd understand. So anyway...
This weekend was kinda tiring. That whole staying up late, getting up early thing. It's just not so good. I was going to go to bed early tonight, but as you may have noticed, it's not so early, especially not for me. I'm just trying to get this in before midnight, so it counts for Sunday, so ha! or something... I have to work monday, tomorrow, night :( until midnight. How lame is that!?!? OH! I got my mom to buy me lot's of food this weekend! :) That was gweat. So anyway.. Ima gonna go... place...
Have a nice summer!
blah blah blah, my name is David and I like harassing Ryan because he didn't post yesterday, when he woke up at 5:30am and studied for calc until 10:15 when he left for class to take his calc test, then studied all afternoon until his kins186 test, then went to work until a little after midnight. blah blah blah.
That's what I was doing yesterday instead of posting a message. Oh! Guess what!?!? I'm leaving for Appleton in 45 minutes, so there won't be any posts this weekend until Sunday. So there! ha! And for all of you people that just read this without the ridicule, I extend my apologies, you will have to go nearly three days without hearing from me on here.

Have a nice summer!
P.S. I'm hanging with Sean Huiting, hopefully tonight, if not, probably most of the day tomorrow, and I'm golfing 18 holes sometime this weekend, and remember, I tend not to stay up too late. So if you wanna do something...
Post #2
I like running, it's kinda fun. We went to the weight room again today, as usual. I was in there for 30 min. then I went outside and ran a few laps. It was quite nice, it's getting cloudy out and it's going to rain, so it was nice and cool, though a bit humid.
I have two tests tomorrow. Not really looking forward to that, although, it won't be too difficult. The test in Calc is just on chapter 1, which is relatively easy stuff. Relative to eating 400 live crickets in 3 seconds of course. My other test is for my health and wellness class. This is also relatively easy, easy relative to sitting. So yeah.. it'll be a fun night, if you'd like to distract me and keep me from doing my work, then hey, be my guest. But consider yourself warned... I might kill you. Have a nice summer!!
One hell of a journal...
I was going to put up a trivia question. What happened in tv on March 2, 1977. Upon looking up the date to see if that tidbit if information was out there somewhere, I found this. It's the Journal of every single thing President Jimmy Carter did on March 2, 1977. The only things I see missing are trips to the bathroom, and his bowling score. Thought you might find it as weird as I did. Anyway, does anybody actually KNOW what happened on tv on March 2, 1977. I'll give a hint, it was someone's first appearance on TV. Leave you guesses on the message board. I'll tell you if you're correct :) Have a nice summer!
Wow, two whole days without a post... what is Ryan up to you might wonder?? well, frankly, (you creepy rabbit) nothing. Abbbbssssooooluuuutely, nothing. Played some games with Aaron from across the hall the other day. That was fun, went to my dad's yesterday for Father's Day. Worked until around 1:30am Saturday night, then I got up and left Eau Claire by 8:00am yesterday, drove to Rapids, and then drove back last night. Ugh... I was sooo tired. I kept yawning and stuff, and then all of a sudden there was a deer right on the shoulder of the road. Needless to say, that woke me up fast!
One of the best parts of going home is they give you food! :) I like that! So, I got some food and some other stuff, I think I could've gotten some money to eat too. My dad asked me if I had enough money for food, should've said no. Oh well. Not much new around here, believe me, you'd be the first to know. Well, time to head for class. Have a nice summer!
ok.. so... I fixed the pictures for the poll, kind of. It takes a while and I can't focus all of my attention on one thing for any extended period of time. So if, like normal, I'm sitting around bored tomorrow, I'll actually get them the size that they should be. But anywhoo... it's 1:30 in the AM so I should be getting to bed.. If you're in the Eau Claire area, then please realize that I have absolutely nothing to do here, so send me an IM or and e-mail, 'cause there are only 12 people living in this whole building, and 4 of them are mexican and don't speak much english. Have a nice summer!
Damn that's funny.. Well, take my new polls. There are two up there so far, and it's random which one comes up. So hit refresh to get the next one. Sorry about the pictures on the places to vacation poll. I didn't realize that they'd be that big, I figured they'd scale them down a bit. Oh well.. Make sure you look at them all! :) Have a nice summer!
Oh so sweaty... I just ran a mile and a half in 14minutes 52 seconds. I haven't run for about a year. It was great. Very exhilerating... So, I'm really liking that class now, I learned my way around the weight room, I found out that we have an awesome track, and some really cool running trails in the woods. I think I'm gonna get up in the morning and jog a couple laps around the trail that's .6 miles. Sounds like fun.. well, I gotta go get.. un-sweaty?? yeah.. something like that. In the form of a shower. Have a nice summer!
Oh so sore... Haven't worked out in so long, until yesterday. I can definitely feel it now, my arms and shoulders are really sore. But it's great! I'm gonna start going in the mornings, and finally get back into the routine of running everyday again. I think this could be a real good time this summer. Except now I start work tomorrow, that's gonna blow. But besides that, it should be good.
Well, I changed my mind about the pictures. Instead I took a video of it, just a 40 second Avi. If you want it, I can send it to you, It won't let me upload something like that on here unfortunately. So, if you wanna see my room without actually coming here, let me know, and I'll hook ya up! Have a nice summer!
I like this, early to bed, early to rise idea. I get so much done in the morning before all of you are awake. :) No offense, I just get distracted easily is all. So, I decided to re-organize my room this morning, spent about an hour on that. But now it's very clean and tidy. I'm gonna take some picture so you can see where I'm living. I'm glad that I'm on the first floor for moving in and out, but if I were on the third floor I'd have a really nice view of the river. Oh well, what can ya do. I'll take some pics, then it's off to class for me. Have a nice summer!
So, I decided to leave a couple hours early for class. Maybe a little nervous, since I can't screw this up.. again. I went to the bookstore and got my calculus book, there's a cd in the back that you can use to help you study, well as it turns out it has a note on the little paper sleeve that the cd is in, it says. "CD is broke 9-23-03". Wow, isn't that great. Not that I probably would've even used it, but still, you think after the amount of money that we pay to go here they could have at least replaced the copy of the cd, I realize they ONLY had almost 9 months to do it. Oh well, what can ya do. I met the guy across the hall this morning, when he hit me with the bathroom door. :) I was walking out of the bathroom around 6:30am after showering and he was walking in, bad timing. I know who he is, he's from my computer science class last fall, later on he stopped by my room and introduced himself. Then I thought about it for a second and realized tha...
So... I'm back in Eau Claire. Up at 6, left the house at 8:30. Arrived at the dorm at about 10:17, had to stop for gas. Got the code for the lock on my door, we unloaded the two cars, then I left the piece of paper in the room that had the code on it, and shut the door. Brilliant. Some may call that a one act play!?!? So now, after I got the code, again, it was about 10:45. We left to go find me a new tv stand, I didn't want to drag my whole entertainment center along, but I needed something for all my crap. So, we got to the Big Kmart. Nothing. Just expensive stuff, which was kind of surprising for Kmart. So, my dad was really nice and bought me food, and another fan. Like, $70 worth. :) Then we proceeded to Super Target, or whatever it's called. There I found a stand that had been opened, what a risk, but the thought of saving $10 was enough for me, now I'm not cheap, unless I'm spending money on myself, then I tend to buy the cheaper stuff. So anyway, we g...
So, I was sitting on the corner of State St. and Wisconsin Ave. today watching the flag day parade. When I had a thought that made me chuckle and made the people around me look at me funny. I was watching 8 miniature dashunds wearing gold outfits pull a wagon, and if that wasn't funny enough, there were clowns on unicycles circling around them, and there was a fire truck with flashing lights in front of them, and a band with shiny instruments behind them. And the only thing I could think was, this would be heaven if I had A.D.D. Although after having my eyes and brain go, oh! haha funny puppies, oh! shiny truck, oh! a band, AHHH! Clowns... I HAVE A.D.D. I kinda laughed when I thought of that, and went, that has to go in my blog. So here it is... crazy thoughts from the mind of Ryan. Wait until I'm stuck in Eau Claire for 2 months with minimal human contact outside of work and class. Then we'll see what really goes on inside my head. I have a feeling, like normal, that ...
Well, I'm pretty much all packed up and ready to go. I have a lot of crap, as I realized between today and yesterday. But, my dad and step-mom are gonna bring the jeep and help me move! :) yayy! I was pretty excited about that. Well, I'm off to Appleton for the night, if you wanna do something call me, 920-450-1788.
Have a nice summer!

So... I keep getting asked... why no more "Have a nice summer!"
I don't know. I decided to change it.
Maybe it's because it isn't gonna be a nice summer??
A. Because I'll be taking calculus for 8 weeks.
B. Because I'll be living in a 5000 degree dorm room with just a fan.
and
C. Because I don't know if I'll know anybody there, and I'm somewhat shy and don't always meet people that fast.
So... why there's no more "Have a nice summer!" I don't know for sure, some things change I guess... so... um... ahh.. what the hell...
Have a nice summer!

OK, so I'm going through all my shit getting packed and ready to go back to the OC for the summer. I found this page of scribbles, well, as I began to read it I realized that it was my rough draft for my statement about myself on my UW applications. hahahah oh man, I vaguely remember writing it. Here's how it goes:
I used to wonder when and why Christmas went from being the birth day of Jesus to a day full of presents, food and festivities. Why does Thanksgiving stay as just a big feast, or is the meal itself considered a gift. It seems that every other religious holiday has some sort of gift to go with the holiday. I mean, Easter went from celebrating the day that Jesus rose from the dead to a big rise in egg sales. On Halloween, which started as the day of the dead in Mexico, we now give out candy to complete strangers. If some guy dressed up as a cowboy with guns walked into a store and demanded candy, he'd get arrested, but not on Halloween. On Halloween we...
Living in a daze makes the world seem so different.
I was just at an investment seminar at the country club my dad belongs to. Quite interesting. I was in a room with 30 of probably the 50 richest people in the area. I was gonna start asking for donations to my college fund. I was definitely the youngest person there, actually, my dad and step-mom, who are in their early 40's could probably had claimed that if I hadn't come. So they were all intrigued about the young kid that came. Almost everyone there talked to me at some point. I like talking to people like that, people with money. Trying to pick their mind, who and what do they know that I should know. It's that kind of thinking that tells me without a doubt, I will have everything I hope for someday. I know that someday I will own my own business, more than likely businesses. I envision myself having a house similar to my dad's, living in a nice neighborhood. There are pieces to the puzzle that I don...
So yesterday I called Copps in Eau Claire. As it turns out, I'm still an employee there, and have been this whole time. They never terminated me like they said they were going to. So I guess I have a job then! :) Then I told them I could work at 5 on thursday, because my class was supposed to go until 4, but they changed the class, now it goes until 6, so I already needed to change my schedule, and I already asked for a weekend off! That store is so desperate, it's great. I think I need another job offer so I can get some more money, not that I'd take another job, unless it's one of the computer store one's that I applyed for, I'd just like to act like I was thinking about it, just to see them squirm, see how far they'll go to keep me. That would probably backfire though, they'd just go, oh, well, sorry to hear that, and let me go. But anyway, work work work... that's all i ever do around here.
Have a nice summer!
two shirts and khakis all day makes Ryan very warm. It's soooo hot out, and it's supposed to be hotter over the next two days... ugh... my basement went from freezing over the weekend, around 62degrees, to, a much too hot for a basement, 75.

Can't wait for the non-air conditioned dorm room... woohoo! (sense the sarcasm?)
Have a nice summer!
What could it be??? Why is Mark leaving, and apparently not going to come back onto this site again? Or will he come back, and just not post??? Is this part of his life changing change?? What IS the airspeed of an unlaiden swallow?? All these questions, so few answers.
On another note...
I hope you all had a good weekend. I had a great one. And no Mark, we didn't go see Harry Potter! I've never seen any of them, I don't think I want to start now, or ever. The sniffles were going around this weekend, lot's of kleenex used. Actually, they're Puffs, not Kleenex, but anyway. God! It's running again now. Um... The hot tub was oh so relaxing and enjoyable this weekend. All in all, I'd rank the weekend on a scale of 10 when compared to every other weekend thus far this year... I'd have to go with a 9.8 neck and neck with last weekend. So, anyway, I gotta go get ready for work, somebody I sold stuff too hasn't paid there bill yet, it's ...
So, yeah... a post for the dinnertime... well... I got nothing... I also have nothing... I went and rode in a boat to go to dinner, in a bar up the river. I had some fish, which is ironic, being that we were in a boat where we could catch fish, and we went a paid for them instead. And um... well, that's about all the really exciting stuff that happened to me tonight. well, there is one thing, that didn't happen tonight... but.. how do i put this anonymously and nice...
Richard (this is a code name, don't assume anything sickos) I'm sorry, I should have just said that I wanted to be friends with you, instead of whatever I did say. I know you're hurt and I apologize, I didn't intend for or expect anything like this to happen.
Not fitting, but I gotta put it... Have a nice summer!
Hey, check out that hot new snowbaseball.com logo! Isn't it gweat! Yeah, well as long as you're admiring it, why don't you hop on over and see what all the ruckus is about. Ruckus.. a word I've never fuckin' used.. Ok, this post is getting exponentially worse and worse... I use the word exponentially because i learned it in a math class once, and this is the only time I've ever been able to use it.
enough from me.. eating lunch...
Have a nice summer!
It's fridaaaaay!! woohooo! Wait a tick.. I still have to work part of the day tomorrow :( Well, it's still friday! yayy! I just like Fridays. Probably one of my favorite days of the week. In the top 7 at least. Well, I got up this morning at 6:00 and talked to my friend Sean who was eating lunch. Well, I don't know that he was eating.. but I did talk to him, and it was noon where he was. It's always a bit wierd when you wake up and the first thing you say is good afternoon. Unless of course, it IS afternoon.. I don't remember what that's like, sleeping past noon. or even 10 for that matter. So andyway, I'ma gonna go.

hahahahahahahahahahaha oh man... so apparently there's something messed up. My IP address is supposed to be blocked from my counter. And I guess it isn't, because Kansas Cable is apparently me. I was systematically eliminating people by having them log on then checking the stats. Then I noticed that right after I went on there it showed kscable.com So the only thing I can assume is that either it's me, with a totally different IP address coming up than what mine actually is.. or someone else is ironically checking the site around the same time as me and also using mozilla firefox 0.8...
Have a nice summer!
Short of THE punishment as invented by none other than Uncle Pat. A rather terrible torture is what I am experiencing right now! I'm working at my dad's office, well that seems quite terrible, it gets worse. I haven't eaten since.. oh.. 11:30, so 6 hours ago. And Tim, one of the guys that works here, his wife cleans the office so he works late on thursdays, so it's a good time for me to work because if I need to ask him anything he's here. Well, to get to the torturous part... I'm not a big fan of McDonald's or fast food of any kind really, except maybe quizno's or subway.. But at any rate.. when you're really hungry, having to smell McDonald's food is terrible, and, I know I can't have any, nor would I really want any, but no matter how much I try to psych my self out, oh it's greasy and gross and fattening, you wouldn't want it... but it smells so good.. I may just have to eat my lower lip. It almost tastes like a chicken nugget...
So, with my new counter at the bottom, I can tell what kind of internet people have. Somebody who looks at this a lot has Kansas Cable. I'm trying to figure out who it is, I'm assuming that it's somebody I don't know?? They were on at 11:00am yesterday and again at noon today, and also had the site open for about an hour 2 nights ago around midnight. Just wondering who has Kansas Cable. If it's you, leave a message on the message board, just wanted to know who was so interested in the site! It's cool! ok, anyway.. hope i didn't scare anyone... Have a nice summer!
so, my god... Apparently I'm no longer the computer guy here. Now I'm the secretary. I've been answering the phone all afternoon... damn there it goes again.. ugh.. so anyway. It's like 4,000 degrees in here and I've been ripping apart computers and cleaning them, they haven't been opened in their 7 years of existance. Oh, only 35 more minutes until I get to go to dinner with my step-mom and the grandparents, oh how exciting my life here is. So anyway, I'll talk to you later tonight! Have a nice summer!
So, I ordered some RAM for two of my dad's computers at the office. Apparently there are some compatibility issues that I found out about. Ugh.. So now, I'll just have to spend more money! Which I'm not too worried about. Do an RMA with newegg.com, which is always disappointing to send stuff back, but then I realized more stuff would come for me! Then I can just keep ordering the wrong stuff, and it's a neverending Christmas! yippee! :) yayy for me!
By the way, I'm really getting a lot done at work today! Have a nice summer!
I thought it was supposed to be nice out today!??! Oh well, I'll be in my dad's office all day, I'm leaving now at 6:55am and I'll probably be there for a good 12 hours, minus lunch. I may be home for an hour around noon, but if my dad decides to be nice and take me to lunch. :) You never know.
Anybody want to help me move into Eau Claire in a couple weeks?? 'cause my parents either don't want to, or won't be around, so I have to do it myself. Which is a pain in the ass, so anyway... I'm gonna get to "work" and I'll chat with you all later. Have a nice summer!
So, I finally found my glasses, so now I can actually read stuff!! :) How great is that, like, I was watching the bball game yesterday and I couldn't read the score, that's when i decided that I had to find them. So yeah, this makes my eyes feel better, they're going, thank you Ryan! Have a nice summer!
So I was listening to the radio earlier today and I heard someone use the phrase "like a broken record." That provoked some thought. Why has that not been "updated" so to speak. Like, why is the phrase not, "like a scratched cd"? Wouldn't that make more sense in today's society? Maybe it's just me... This is Ryan signing off.. Have a nice summer!
What a beautiful cloud covered, stormy looking day. And I do mean beautiful, I don't know that anything could get in the way of this being a great great day. My dad apoligized for being an ass last night, which was nice. My cousin came over with his girlfriend we watched the unfortunate demise of the t-wolves, then ended the night with a game of Balderdash, an interesting game made more interesting by a bit of a drink and lack of sleep. But I got 5 solid hours last night, and I feel more refreshed and ready to face the world than ever. So without further adeu, I bring to you, my joke of the day.
What did the fish say when it ran into the wall??
DAM! hahahahahahahahaha oh man, gets me every time... what's that? you didn't think it was funny!?!? well now... that's just too bad isn't it! :)
I truly mean this next comment, because I believe I will, despite the calculus, the working, and other issues that clearly will be hard to deal with, it will still b...
