The "Porque's" of life!

I have turned over a new leaf in my blog writing days. That leaf has to do with the direction I'm taking this little corner where I'm allowed to post the events of my life. Many people desire to stay caught up in eachother's lives.. wheather it be family, friends, colleagues. My main purpose for blogging is so that others can see what type of antics my friends and I are up to! I believe deep down that that is a legit reason to keep up post after post. But just walking around campus today I had an Epiphany if you will.. it went somthing like this in my mind.. (know that I'll never be able to tap into my mind and put it onto a screen.)

Ryan's Mind......

Wow!! That's a hot girl, she's rockin that cardigan better than anyone else out there!

*looking for new songs in ipod while giving a smile to the 'maroon caridgan rocker'. Found 'Hey Mercedes' band that used to get me running happy!

I wonder if I'll still like them!?! Oh yeah this rocks.. I need to blog these things! I'm gunna try and turn my blog in a new direction from now on and rememeber the best I can the awesome killer thoughts that come to my head while walking the campus here in Orem. I know what I'll call it.. the Porque's of Life!... now that that's settled let's get to the Library to blog it all!

Backyard BBQ brings forth stardom!

To start off this little blog post, while sitting here on the fifth floor of the newly developed library at UVU, I'd like to paint a scene indeed. Picture this, girl, brunette, mid-twenties, sitting behind my left shoulder, her Biology book open, sipping a (GET THIS) "Diet Red Bull" through a straw.

Just thought you might wanna know that.

Well this weekend was as we'd say in Portuguese marcante! Absolutely fabulous are two words in the English dicionary that I'd use to pin point my feelings towards this past weekend's events. Friday night was our very first and (DEFINATLEY) not last show as a band. James Stewart, Coby Gerstner, Jamie Robison, Yours Truly and Bradley Clark make up as we are most recently called, Boo York. (name subject to change). Our dearest friend Whitney Olsen hosted a Backyard BBQ for her besties and invited us to be the nights entertainment. Lemme tell you we sold this place out! It was jammed with fans and listeners who brought an energy that could only lead one to stardom!

Band update, we are currently writing and trying to record our very own demo to get our local name out on the local scene. All you who frequent my blog we ask your input on 3 different names we're trying currently to agree on.

1. Boo York


2. Hello Helecopter


3. Task. For. You.

Thanks for your help!

Also, just to top things off the rocker, after Friday's fiasco, Saturday brought forth an AMAZING college football game between the BYU Cougars and the UCLA Bruins. You better believe I was there in my All-Sports seats with my palls cheering our former classmates on! Congrats Cougars and may you be swiftly guided towards another "Happy Valley" victorious season!

For now I say tchau!

XOXO

Ryan?

Marching the good march..

Michelle Elise Hamblin; girl with ambition, dedicated to all aspects of life, beautiful, full of life and energy and brilliant will soon become Michelle Elise Cannon.

Yes minha gente my little baby sister is engaged! And boy are the Hamblin's excited! Especially Bob! For he is gaining another son (which will now upset the balance of males in the family) and loosing a penny or two! Michelle has always been a hot item here in Happy Valley and has, over the past few years, grown into a woman. I'm so proud of her as her older brother and best friend! We are all excited to add Brady into our lives!

Good luck you two and Congratulations!

Love
Ryan

Magleby's Grill and Oyester Bar

You folks are all staring at the Blogspot of the newest member of the Magleyb's team! Yep that is correct i landed a job at 'the grill down the street on the corner'. I'm thrilled, and upon being interviewed they slapped me with stack of papers which at first caused a bit of excitement. As of yesterday that excitement has subtlety turned into anxiety! Yesterday I took a stab at what is named the "Server Test". It was HARD! I thought that I'd see a test like this on a final or a mid-term. Well I blanked and shortly after had a sit down with "Keri-Pie" where she stressed the importance of the exam and sent me off to study for one more day. In t minus 1 hour and 50 min i'll be taking one more stab at this test! And the result is either job or no job. Pray for me soldiers.. pray hard!

Love

ru fu dogg.

Battling the bitter bite!

We're back into August.. the one month that EVERYone my age has a hard time loving. Why? School...dreaded, long, challenging school! But there is an upside.. UvU has brought me some excitement so far after 1 week of attending! I'll tell ya why!

1. All my classes are with my best companion and friend Justin William Durrant (Sandy, UT).
2. I have a Yoga class with Vince, James, and Joonku!
3. I love Institute and am needing some more guidance in my life.
4. A hot girl in English class got my number on Wed. and she wasn't not cute.*

Well despite all the negativities that have followed me into school, these are the reasons why I like it. So it's not all that bad, no matter what anyone else may say. And when it's all over and I have a career and family to worry about, I'm 100% positive I will look back and wonder why I EVER thought this was hard. Family and friends.. ya'll stay classy!

Me with Seany Boy's Laptop studying hard.

*Funny story.. we're in English 1010 and having a great time, when the teacher asks us to get 3 different phone numbers of those in our class. She asked two specific rows to stand up and switch places. Well I was minding my business when I noticed a really really pretty girl stands up, having nothing to do with the specific sections, and walks across the room to park in the vacant seat next to me. Next thing you know I hear a "Hi, I'm Aubrey, it's Ryan right?" the reply, "yeah, how's it going" "good" she responded, "well my number is ###" Me, "that's 801 right?" her"no, it's ###, I'm from California" me, "oh, so it's 801 right?" her, "no it's ###" me, "oh, cool what's the rest"? she then proceeds to telling me the rest and we're off to stardom!

Thanks girl for making me feel like 1,000,000 dollars!

p.s. I got a Job at Magleby's!

Give the tiger his babies bottle...

I'm sad that you folks have all been getting on my back about posting the "Salsa on Ryan Video" from the beach house.. well here you go.. just to keep my readers entertained..

Fourth and Final..

School School School.

I've been known my whole life as an easy going, goofy guy. Maybe i've become an icon to some, a sad influence to others, but I know that as far as I'm concerened the future is bright. I've learned that no matter what we see in the distance, on the horizon, or what we can't even see at all can be really terrifying. That's why at this very moment.. I've nervous as to see what the outcome of my new schedule will be as I will be attending Utah Valley University. I know it's no big deal, but now is the time to start taking education seriously.

Folks I've had the best summer of my life. Nothing could ever compare to the times I've shared with not only my friends but my AMAZING family as well. The Summer of Sunset Hunters has honestly become the "Catcher of my Rye". Working full time, and playing full time it's just going to be a tough thing for me to calm down and focus on what's ahead. Wish me luck! Love ya all.

Wryian.
