Ryan's Log On The Net

So tonight I studied with galpal Stacey for an interview that I will be having between Tuesday and Wednesday at work. I am convinced that the job is perfect for me! I have been studying and practicing my skills the past 2 months in preparation for the opportunity to interview, and now it’s here. I pray for a great interview!

So it’s been a super busy month it it just keeps looking to stay more and more busy!

In Fantasy Football news, after a disaster year in fantasy last year. We set up a new shop and it looks to have made a 1000% improvement on top of that. This year in my league I drafted:

RB Stephen Jackson – Rams
RB Joseph Addai – Colts
WR Brandon Marshall – Broncos
WR Greg Jennings – Packers
TE Chris Cooley – Redskins
PK Nick Folk – Cowboys
DST Seahawks

Bench:
QB Donovan McNabb & Marc Bulger

WR Lee Evans & Joey Galloway

Hot shit! The Dude got a raise and will be making more money. Not that its a lot, but now I can afford those chiclets I’ve always really wanted but my mom told me were out of my budget! Thats very exciting news. I now am up from .03 cents a day to .07 cents an hour! Thats pretty friggin’ huge! 🙂

So the football season is almost over, which is sad. The Packers improved by four wins this year, and finished 8-8. At least it’s not a LOSING season. The only football left is the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl. Today I’m going to Colorado for the weekend to celebrate my birthday! This is exciting because I get to see Justin and and my papa! Also, I’m going home in March and in May to keep me from missing it too much. Going home is always fun because there’s so much to do there. I would like to spend time in Milwaukee more while I’m there and you think I’d like to visit Stevens Point? Fuck yeah! I’ll go there fo’ sho’!

Tonight we had our fantasy draft for the new season and I will share my roster now. First the starters

QB – Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
RB – Ladainian Tomlinson, San Diego Chargers
RB – Clinton Portis, Washington Redskins
WR – Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals
WR – Darrell Jackson, Seattle Seahawks

I have been making more friends in Florida and some in part that I switched jobs from Pepsi Bottling Group to Hewitt Associates. I was looking for new employment for awhile and finally found a new opportunity that was a step in a different direction. I have been with Hewitt for a month now and am liking it thus far. Emily and I are coming up on Eight months in on the 8th. We are doing very well and I am very happy with her. Only one month until we make our way up to Wisconsin. I may moved by then. Not sure what’s going to really happen there. Just a minor update yo! Shout out to Joey and Matt. Peace!

Exciting Stuff 🙂 Just wanted to say that there is a lot to be excited about in the world of rock music right about now. For fans of The Smashing Pumpkins, the reuniting should make you happy when the album they are currently working out comes out, no time set for that yet. For those of us who have loved No Doubt for the major course of our lives, they too are giving us something to look forward too. Also recording another album, despite Gwen doing her solo album last year. But what about now? I’m sure I’ll miss some peoples favorites, but I’ll give you good options to listen to. Some os you may be looking for the new Dashboard Confessional cd Dusk And Summer due out tomorrow. Others may want to wait a couple weeks for the long awaited album from Muse, Black Holes And Revelations. Tom Petty releases an album July 25th, Audioslave has one slated for September 5th, and for all of the Outkast fans trying for one last album, that comes out August 22nd. Albeit, these are just the proven successes, we’ll stick with that, and let the rest surprise us! Dude out!

So it’s been a good couple of months! I’m currently in the process of trying to find a new job and trying to better my computer skills while I’m at it. In doing so, I have added page numbers and back and forward page links to this page that way it won’t be so long. That has taken me some time, however after hard dedication, and a lot of breaks, I have finished it. This ups the version number to 4.03. In more important news, Emily and I have hit our half year mark. It’s my second longest relationship, and is going very good! She left today for a cruise with her family so begins the week without. I’m sure I’ll survive! That’s all for now!

Emily and I are doing great! The 8th of March will mark our four month anniversary and we are both completely in love! We have been spending a lot of time together and we always find new things that we have in common. We always have something to do and it never fails that we seem so perfect for each other! In other news, it’s Adams (Myspace), aka Ween, Weener, Weenska, ShAbOyGaN, iLL, and a million and one other names, 25th birthday today! Happy Birthday iLL ShAbOyGaN! Tomorrows Birthday: Tot!
