a tiger named ryan

from the sidekick

Ryan Lackey — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 07:06:42 +0000

Well, I guess I’m in clas right now on my sidekick3 and I’m thinking about heading over the Vans after clas to pick up a job application. The problem with that is that if I do get the job I will be quitting GAP Outlet because in my contract I can’t legally work for another clothing company…
I don’t really want to leave GAP but if my hours do not change then I will be. I have made so many friends and I have gotten a friend a job there, the management is pretty amazing too. I guess all I have to say is ch-ch-ch-changes!
Ill finish this post tonight.

Okay, so after I post this as a draft, literally TEN minutes later, my boss calls and tells me to come in for a few hours today… WEIRD BUT AMAZING

Im going to be posting Mondays through Thursdays from now on. This post will not have ANYTHING to do with anyone else but me and the people around me.
I just went outside and had a cigarette and I was thinking, why am I awake? I was just wondering, what is it that I have been doing for the past 4 hours of being home… I havent done anything, I was just stumbling through hundreds of pages on clothing and interior design. I have watched the last half of season 5 of The Office and I just started a movie. Im starting to get sad that I havent been doing my duties and I started to look at what Im doing with my life.

I was looking at shirts and stuff and I wanted to buy on but when I looked at my bank account I was sad to see a mere $30 in there that is supposed to last me til November 11th… Im really not happy with my job. Now I say my job but what I mean is the minimal hours I get and the shit pay I receive. I work for a hour to buy a pack of cigarettes. That means I need to work about 7 hours a week to buy cigarettes and then I need to work another 6 to pay for my gas to get to work so I can get more gas to go back. Its a depressing circle of shit. Fucking shit.

When I look at what I want to be when I grow up, well get older, I want to own a company and travel and rarely come home. Home is turning into my hideaway from everyone. I love this room that Im in right now but its not making me money and I want money. I want to buy myself $400 steaks every night and I want to pay people to make sure Im alone. I want to go to strange hotel rooms every night and be able to smoke where I want when I want, rather than just dance around people like a fucking fairy pretending Im trying to quit. I hate telling people Im quitting because its just a lie and a made up story to keep them happy. When I want to quit I will quit.

Looking at myself in the mirror today I saw my fat, my gauges, and that horrible hair. I want to be skinny, I want to have bigger ears, and I want straight hair. I want to get attention. I seek attention anyway I can get it and I love it. I dont understand when Im with someone that doesnt like attention, I thrive from that shit. I love it to death.

Also looking at shirts tonight made me want to make my company into reality and made me want to pursue my dreams of helping people while taking in cash. Fame is what I want. If I could have anything in the world right now I would take ten million dollars and a week of peace and quiet.

I dont really know what Im doing… I want to make tons of money and its easier to do that with a college education right? Well I have been to one class in the past week. One class. That needs to change. I havent seen my math teacher in two weks, my art teacher in three, and my english teacher in a couple days but that was because I was hyper and I want to socialize with people my own age.

Its time to try harder. I havent looked at the Secret in so long, but maybe I should. Maybe instead of watching the end of the movie I should read, but who the hell am I kidding? Its a joke. I dont read. I have said that since 7th grade and it has become true. Maybe I should though.

Something I thought was depressing today was reading my brother IM’s that he left up on my computer… It seems that the general teens intelligence and writing levels are going down hill. I remember in 8th grade when I started IM’ing people I typed like this; full sentences. But my 11th grade brother types like this: my 11 grde brthur types lik tis… And so did the girl he was talking to. Fucking idiots… Fucking fucking fucking.

My vocab is very broad as you can see. HAHA, jokes.

When I was going threw this in my head the time I was outside it was a lot more depressing and I had a lot more to say but I think writing this out made it a lot better… I think that if you think you have a problem maybe you should start a blog and tell people how you are feeling, let people in.

In the end, all I hav to ask is, anyone want to donate $1 to the boy who cant find a better job?

Thanks for reading.

Rain?!

Ryan Lackey — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 07:34:05 +0000

Yes, rain in Petaluma today, well tomorrow, well… Oct. 19th there will be RAIN! Happy or sad who cares, is this the prediction of the week for me? A gloomy, sad and depressing week? Well… NO! The Secret says I make my own weeks and my own years by what I do. So I look at it in a good way!
Is this going anywhere? Kinda, not really… But a little. GOALS. My goals for the week are to go to every class, finish The Secret, treat everyday as a great one, and to do all my homework!

Alice In Wonderland went down 9% on IMDB this week. I think I know why, I found out about this movie FROM IMDB and really haven’t heard much about it unless I started the conversation… Where are the commercials, posters, or ANYTHING? Well, its supposed to come out March 5, 2010, directed by Tim Burton and I guess you can guess who the lead of the movie is… Johnny Depp. When is the cord going to be cut?
More information here.

Number one in the box office right now is…. (drum roll)
Yeah, if you have a brain you got it right, Where The Wild Things Are. I have not seen this yet but a friend said it was 50/50 but its getting a 8.5 on IMDB. Pretty good…
I was going to see it tonight but decided I didnt want to deal with the eight junior and seniors in front of me in the line to get tickets, I saw number 4 on the top movies of the weekend, Couples Retreat. My rating… 6.7823/10. It was funny BUT I would never watch it again. Never.

Super Mario and Woman Having Sex…

Ryan Lackey — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:58:19 +0000

So, update on the cold/flu/headache/sniffles, Im feeling better and I’m pretty sure weed is the medicine of choice. I was not feeling good, smoked weed, next day felt better. Last night smoked a lot more weed, and now Im feeling GREAT. HA But we stiff need to keep up the good health thing…

Okay, so title information. I came across a site that has Nintendo Entertainment System Sound Bites and I clicked on the Super Mario Bros. Power Up one and in the suggested bites it has Woman Having Sex… Thought it was odd that maybe a child could be looking for sounds of the game and they might click on that. I know I would have in sixth grade.
Link to Power Up bite: :D
Link to Woman Having Sex bite:Perv…

By the way I like this a lot. :]

NEXT!
I know tonights post is going to over rule this one because Im about to talk about myself again, but whatever… I’m getting a fisheye filter and its going to be here in a few days. :D! $30 for a cheap but amazing fisheye. Thats it… Thats all…

Shwine Flu and Pharrell

Ryan Lackey — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:25:59 +0000

No H1N1(Shwine Flu)
Thank god. BUT on the drive over there I got a idea for a shirt and I’m sure its already been made but it says, I SURVIVED with a Pig under it. Or it just says I SURVIVED THE FIGHT. Promising! :]
Anyway, Im not only going to blog about that I need to talk about the “hospital” that I went to, it was discusting and it made me want to go back to Kaiser… It was disgusting… If I didnt have H1N1 then I have it now… But my boss snapped at me when I called to tell him I was at the doctors to see if I had H1N1 and he told me to bring a doctors note to prove that I went to the doctors… Am I in 5th grade? Didn’t think so…

Pharrell gets new skin?!
Didn’t know you could do this… Anyway, Pharrell says that some of his tattoos are childish and that he wants them removed, but not removed with a laser but with a sewing kit and new skin… My opinion is that he is rich enough to not have to deal with the immense pain of a laser and he shouldn’t have to. But I am interested in where he got this idea…
Anyway, story here… :D Enjoy!

A bar for genius’ using iTunes.
Now, I know the Genius Bar for iTunes has been out for the real world a few months and for the internet world a few hundred years but I have to say I had a genius make the perfect play list for me and it works every time, kinda. I have run into a few songs that aren’t known by Apple strangely enough but its all good and I am only posting this because I think EVERYONE should know about it.

So lastly, sorry for my total shit post earlier. I was really (high) tired and (distracted) sick. But no excuses. I hope this makes up for it!

Please post links to this blog places and leave me comments on post you like and what you like about them! :]

Oh gawd… Im sick… Want to know the worst part? My dad is too and he thinks we should go check for Swine Flu…. Awesome, but until then Ill play my newest obsession, Cafe World and Ill blog. So this game is created by the ever-so popular Zynga and if your into their games I suggest you check this one out.

Next order of business is a 6 month old baby in a stroller rolls in front of a train and survives! Best part is THE SECURITY CAMERA WAS ON AND ROLLING!!! So, I dont know if I can joke about this, I mean no one died and everyone was okay so it wont be tasteless. Who the fuck, DOESNT apply the break when you are on a train platform with a baby and who is so wrapped up that they could grab the baby? Here is the video of what happened.

In this final story I totally get both sides but I want to know what YOU think. On Facebook you can see peoples upcoming birthdays, their quizzes, and other personal stuff that might not seem like much but when in the wrong peoples hands its a lot. Story here.

Well, too sick to go on, Ill post more tonight.

Im SHRINKING

Ryan Lackey — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 08:20:23 +0000

Not really, but I am doing what I do around this time in the school year, going down hill. I’m slacking in school and it’s because of these late nights and my quitting and starting of things.
Quitting of things? What could A Tiger Named Ryan be quitting? Cigarettes and energy drinks. Kinda sucks when I spent all four years of high school going downtown and buying a Monster or a Red Bull. Habits habits habits.

Fun fact! Smoking cigarettes is more addicting and harder to kick than heroin. I know and its so crazy. Click here to read more! :D

Next!
Part of the reason I do not drink is private, the other part is because I do not want to end up like this guy in the video. Which video? This one! Now, I know its 10 minutes but lets watch it and Observe and Report.

//IMG HAS FAILED//
^fuck that image^

That movie, was not up to par. I can say this because in my opinion Seth Rogen is the shit, the beez neez, and insanely amazing. I have watched Knocked Up over 50 times, because there was a month of watching it every day once to twice a day. Mhm… Yeah…
Why am I talking about him? No reason, why am I talking about movies? Well, just wanted to show you a movie that is amazing. Shrink, made in 2009 by Jonas Pate. I really couldn’t write anything about this movie that would do it justice. I’m in awe when watching it. In awe.

Well.

My Hair Is So Soft…

Ryan Lackey — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 07:21:52 +0000

Currently, nothing to write about but the title.

“My hair is so soft” is not a CD, a movie, a book, or a TV show but a FACT. Right now I just have the thank the genius’ at Head and Shoulders because you keep my hair soft, silky, smooth, and flake free.

THE RUMORS ARE TRUE! I can make a small village have snow but rubbing my scalp and I know its a little revolting but that too is a FACT.

Want a FACT that could possibly apply to you and you might actually CARE about?
On Monday Microsoft and TMobile were working tirelessly on huge crash almost all Sidekick users have had. Now read that last sentence again…

See something interesting in there? MICROSOFT was working on a crash that just happened… If you didnt know, sometime a year or two ago the Zune had a big crash… Who created the Zune? MICROSOFT! My question is… When will my computer stop working?!

Thanks Bill!

Until later today or possibly early tomorrow, Im Ryan Lackey and this is ATNR.

Floating Through My Mind…

Ryan Lackey — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 03:34:01 +0000

The only media I have to write about today is probably about the book I just started to read, Me Talk Pretty One Day. So I’m only 40 pages in but it is amazingly funny so far and for $10 on Amazon.com I think its worth it.

Im also reading The Secret again. I have read it before and loved it and I just need a reminder on what to do with my day to day thoughts. For a while I was on top, currently, not so much. Time to be on top forever and get connected with the Universe.

On a totally different subject, anyone listen to Owl City?
Well if you don’t then I suggest you do, because his new CD is amazing. ha. One thing that sucks is that he is playing in San Fransisco on Oct. 19th and I thought to myself, “Hmmmm… Maybe Danielle would want to go with me for a surprise 2 year anniversary from our original date.” Turns out the asshole is playing in a small venue and its sold out… ://

Three types of media tonight with pictures, links, and input?!?! Damn. Im good.

[enter title here]

Ryan Lackey — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 01:15:45 +0000

Kinda random…

Its a old CD, I know, but I need to say something about him and his latest music.
In 2007 he came out with the best Cd of his career. The first two CD’s were good, one came out in 2004, the next in 2005. Kanye West gave a year of nothing then released Graduation.

In my opinion this CD was simply his best. One year later, in 2008, 808s & Heartbreak, a CD that simply didn’t cut it for me. I was listening to it last night and this morning, and if he didn’t put ‘Welcome To Heartbreak’ and ‘Heartless’ on their I would have completely shut it off.

Now about Kanye West and his recent actions with Taylor Swift… He was drunk and being dumb, but honestly I don’t mind it. I think that he is a genius and an amazing guy. Ha, just my opinion.
My question is to you, do you have a preference?
