I have a delimma, one that has been tormenting me for a while now. I can’t seem to come to a resolution on my own, so I’ve decided to come to you, my fan base (a very small fan base, I know, but a fan base none the less) to help me make a very important decision in my life.

Here’s the delimma.

I have 2 cars I love and work on, a 1998 Dodge Viper, and a 1972 Pontiac GTO. I only have time and money to work on 1 at a time. I can not decide which to work on first. Every day that passes I change my mind about this. I will be setting up a poll shortly and let you, the reader and official member of the AskRyan.com fan base, decide for me which car gets tender loving care first.

You are probably asking yourself ‘why do I care?’ The truth is, I realize you probably don’t and I’d be surprised if I got more than 0 responses. However I’m going to do it anyway and you are going to like it.

Today, I realized something. The easter bunny is scary.

Some people don’t like clowns. Some people think Santa clause is scary. I can see thier concerns. However, I don’t think many people put thought into the dangers of the Easter Bunny. Let’s analyze him:

- He’s a 6ft tall walking rabbit
- He has 2 sharp protruding teeth, which he is always showing through his menacing smile
- He decorates and hides eggs for little children.
- Rabbits don’t lay eggs.
- Where do the eggs come from? They come from the chickens! What kind of deal did the chickens make with the Easter Bunny?
- If you were tasked with decorating and hiding eggs to small children all over the world, would you be happy and running around with a big furry smile on your face? I think not. So why is the Easter Bunny happy? Shouldn’t he be bitter?
- When you see the easter bunny up close, and he talks, what do you notice? He has no facial expressions. His mouth does not move. Eyes are staring back at you from within his mouth. THAT IS SCARY.

Now, lets pretend for just one minute tha the Easter Bunny is indeed not real. Maybe that makes him less scary ….

No, not at all. If anything it’s worse. Now you are dealing with a full grown adult who’s sole purpose is to dress up in a costume to do all the things I mentioned above.The thoughts that go through that person’s head can not be pleasant.

The Easter Bunny is scary.

Blog comments and spam!

November 30th, 2006 No Comments

Recently spammers have picked up the pace on posting SPAM blog comments on my page. I have gotten great offers to enlarge my p3n1s, discounds on v1agra, and I can also buy millions of dollars worth of gems CHEAP! Spammers are really annoying.

Fortunatley, I set up this blog so that I have to approve comments before they appear. I only wish they new that so they’d leave me alone.

It’s been a while

November 23rd, 2006 No Comments

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here. I’m busy, I’ve been working alot. I now have two jobs, both of which involve the tap-tap-click sensation of the keyboard. I guess if you think about it, I really have three jobs, now that I have dipped my toe into the world of property investment (It has taken up all my weekends). I have become ‘that guy’, but I love it! I apologize to all my friends whom I’ve ignored. I just haven’t had time to go out, and on the rare occasion I do find time, I really just want to sleep in. Sleeping in is great, especially when you have been up all night on the computer.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I will be out with the real world again one day. I’m not sure when that day will be. But it will happen, oh yes, it will happen ….

Happy Thanksgiving!

Regards,
Me

I’ve been busy this weekend adding some updates and enhancements to the site. Here’s a list of the changes:

  • Added site statistics module to the side bar. It’s the same one I wrote for AskRyan.com
  • New links added to the Blog Roll, My sites, and Other important sites sections on the sidebar.
  • I wrote a module to display the most recent photos added to my photo gallery in the sidebar.
  • Added the new page DenyHosts Hall of Shame
  • Added a Contact Me form, available via the link on the sidebar.
  • Last but not least, I just finished writing my random fortunes module, which displays at the bottom right hand corner of every page. Thanks to http://wackowiki.com/RobertVaeth/Fortunes for providing the fortunes.

Let me know what you think, or if I messed something up and things don’t work. I’ve been up late doing updates, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I goofed up somewhere.

I’ve talked about it alot, but until recently I haven’t been able to wear it since I was 17. However last Saturday I was finally able to fit back into it and decided to wear it to Olivia’s birthday bash at Avenue in Washington DC. Here’s a photo of me rocking the fugly suit.

Dexatrim Max 2o

October 17th, 2006 No Comments

I keep seeing these commercials about Dexatrim Max 2o, and they make it seem like it would taste pretty good. This morning I decided to buy some on the way to work and try it. I got the mixed berry, and I have to admit, it’s not bad. Surprisingly it seems to be working so far too, as I’m not hungry. I’ll see how long the effects last though, but so far I give it my approval!
