It's been a while since I updated... I don't know why. I have gotten two new games and the sixth Harry Potter book, I'll blame it on that =). I bought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and my little brother bough Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando. I finished Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince yesterday, it was REALLY good. Thats all I have to say now.

HEY EVERYBODY! Our internet got blown out becuase of a HUGE storm that lasted about 15 minutes and then it got a little better. We ended up going to Jacksonville to see a movie because the power was out and we couldnt finish cooking dinner. We went to see Fantastic Four we were gonna see War of the Worlds but it started about fifteen minutes before we got there. Not really much else. TWO DAYS UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cant wait I like birthdays.

Hello everybody. I would have updated a long time ago but our computer got struck by lightning in a storm and the modem was blown out. The storm had already passed to the other side of (the five mile wide) town adn the sky was clear but one bolt of lightning decided to come bak across town... Then yesterday some cable gus came to our house to put in the cable modem (we're getting cable internet!) but they came for their appointment 30 minutes early and mom was on her way home but the cable guys wouldn't wait, so they are coming back tomorrow to put it in. I went to see Madagascar last week with my mom and little brother, it was really funny, then a few days later i went with my friends. I have to go to Big House on Thursday. It is a mission trip with our church where we go and work on places that need work. Last year we did yard work, painted buildings, rebuilt gardens, and other stuff like that. I will get back on Sunday then I am leaving on Monday to go to Lifegaurd Training for a week =(. My friend told me it was pretty tuff (he did it two years ago). I haven't been doing much this summer I've talked to Lauren on the phone a lot and mowed the lawn but other than that it has been really boring. I borrowed Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal from Alex, it is really fun. I've gotten pretty far. My favorite weapon is the plasma whip, I am a few kills away from getting V5. My favorite planet to go to is the one that has Annilihation Nation. We got a Spongebob mousepad at Wal Mart becuase our old one was falling apart adn scratched your arm if you moved the mouse forward. I had a Mountain Dew today with lunch, it was really good. Mountain Dew is my second favorite soda. My favorite is Coca Cola. I like it better from a fountain or bottle because it tastes weird in a can. My least favorite soda is Dr. Pepper, it is too sweet and it just tastes bad.

WUSSUP MY PEEPS!!!! How is everyone today cuz I really don't care =). We rented Star Wars on Friday and I beat it last night and I have everything unlocked and my two characters maxed out. It was pretty easy but I really liked it. Today my older brother left on a church trip for a week (YES!) but my little brother is getting back from Galveston today (NO!!!!). I only have about 5 hours left of peace =(. Oh well.... TA TA FOR NOW! (and no I'm not gay).

HI!!! It's been since last month since I've updated.... I am going to Ricky's birthday party on Monday, it should be pretty fun ;). It is summer now and I have been really bored. Will & Grace is on, I like that show even if it has gay guys on it, that's why no one watches it. I don't get it it's really funny. My favorite channel is Comedy Central... bye.

We are out of school!!!! Today was the last day, it was really fun. I just got home from a friend's house or I would have typed this earlier... Tomorrow I have to work at the 'Fair on the Square' downtown. All I have to do is help refill people's sodas from 7:30-Midnight. But I probably won't have to work that whole time. It won't be that hard... Last night I watched Soul Plane. It was pretty funny (it was the rated one), but there was a lot of bad words in it. My favorite movie ever is Monty Python and The Holy Grail. It's the GRAETEST movie ever. It's kinda old but if you haven't seen it then you should rent it or buy it or something, it's hilarious.

Hello, I hope that you are having a good day, not ;). Six Flags was really fun on Saturday, we rode a lot of rides. On the Titan (a 300 foot rollercoaster) my picture looked really funny. Alex was sitting next to me and he looked pretty stupid (wait thats normal =P). On Friday I went to see Star Wars III in Jacksonnville. It was really good. I like the two big fights in the end. I might go see it again with my family... Yesterday I was sick =( I slept most of the day, I had a headache and was really thirsty but felt bad when I drank =P. We get out of school this Friday!!!!!! I can't wait. I love summer so much. I only have two six weeks tests to take this week, since we took TAKS test in three subjects those teachers are just using those grades as our semester test grades. I have to take Texas History, it's my worst subject... I made a 74 on the 100 question review, but I always do really good on the tests, all I have to do is study the review.

Hello everyone, if anyone ever reads this. I like this new color that I put for the updates, it looks better than the other one I had the other one was kinda fruity..... I dont really have much to say... I am going to Six Flags Over Texas (in Dallas) tomorrow, I can't wait. My two 'friends' are coming over, yes they are made up ;). We have to be at the band hall by 6 AM on a Saturday wow. Im normally up by at least 7 but it's a lot earlier.
NOTE: ALEX please stop changing my typing please unless it is like SUPER bad. Leave my sentences alone they are my own and my own only =).

Yesterday we went on another feild trip, but this was for incentive day and it lasted all day. It was really fun. First we went to Tyler (about an hour away) and watched the movie 'Robots'. It was actually pretty good. It was pretty funny. After that we went to the park and ate, then went to the Tyler Skateplex (rollerskates and blades) and skated and played arcade games for the rest of the day. Today, not really much happened... I should have enough time to add another page or two this weekend but if not... oh well. I will do it later. I CAN'T WAIT FOR STAR WARS III! IT WILL BE SO AWESOME! Yes, I'm a nerd, I even have one of those lightsaber spoons. I got it out of a box of Apple Jacks. It's pretty cool. I got a red one. =)

We haven't really done much since last time but go to the movie store. We got 'Mercenaries' for PS2 (my little brother chose the game because he had his rental card from his birthday), and 'Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow'. It was ok, not great. Oh well, I slept through half of it anyway..... We had pizza for dinner. It was good. And I added a Contact page.

Today at school we had a UIL 'picnic' at a park. All we did was go to the park and eat hot dogs that some teachers made and then stayed there until about 1:30. UIL is where you compete against other students from other schools in different academic events. I'm always in spelling. This year I got second. It got me out of half of band! We were about to play 'You'll be in my Heart' from Tarzan. I HATE that song. Have a good day!
May 8, 2005 2:00 First Update
Hello and welcome to my first site to do by myself! I am Ryan, and you might know me from the loser site (www.losersrule.i8.com) that me and Alex made one night at my house. I will update every few days or so... enjoy!

Hello again and Happy Mother's Day. I hope you all have a good day, and all the mom's get 'royal' treatment.
