Hello Fans! Sorry for my lack of post's over the past month. I've been, for a lack of better words, lazy. So now that today was my last day of school for the semester I thought I'd do the world a favor and update everyone on the crazy life of Ryan James!!! Well first off... I GOT A JOB!!! Sound the Alarm! An honest one too! I'll have everyone know that I am a proud employee at the Olive Garden. Yes, yes it is true. For those of you who read who aren't part of my close family, the Olive Garden used to be my favorite restaurant. So it's only ironic to my family members who remember the little Ryan James freaking out about going to Olive Garden when we got the chance. Now that I'm older and I have had time to mature my pallet, the Olive Garden has been bumped from the number one position and is replaced by none other than Beto's Mexican Restaurant. HA! Just kidding! That place is gross. I'd rather lick an STD infested toilet seat. I think my favorite is probably Johnny Carinos, but there are so many places I love it's hard to say. I just heart food. So I got done with my week and a half training at Olive Garden and just barely started serving. It's been really fun so far and I think I am going to enjoy it.
Last week we held another party at our humble abode, and the turn out was a success! The theme was a celebrity party and we had red carpet, paparazzi and loud music outside. Almost everyone who came was dressed in Hollywood fashion and it turned out to be really fun. We had people dress up as famous characters such as Indiana Jones to a bald Brittney Spears. Very creative I must say. I dressed up as Zach from Saved by the Bell , while Erin was of course Kelly. We looked ravishing to say the least. The party was such a hit we had the blue and white show up to crash the celebration. I knew this would probably happen and kind of wanted it to as well. You know a party is cool when it gets broken up by the cops!!! It even took five or six police cars to tell us to be quite. Since when does it take that much law enforcement to tell a college party in Logan to be quite?! Oh yes...it's Logan. Now I know why it's the safest city in the U.S.
Lastly, it is the end of another school year. I will be spending this summer here in good ol' Logan working and going to school. The year went by so fast and It was truly one to remember. I learned a thing or two outside of the classroom and also have been credited some life lessons. I can't wait to use the summer to figure out some more of life's mysteries and tackle on another year at USU. Some of my friends are moving on and getting married while others will be doing their own thing for the summer. I will miss some of my peeps, especially those who head down south for a fun filled adventure in babysitting. :) My family will miss me I'm sure, but I will be up there a lot, so no worries fam, I still love thee. Until next time... Chao!

It's true everyone... I'm 23!!! Crazy huh?! April 1st was the day I celebrated my coming into the world, and it was truly magical! My friends threw me a wonderful midnight party the morning of and I got to beat the tar out of a pinata (how do you spell that?). We had cake and played with some squirt guns for a while and it was neat. The next day I didn't have school, which was so convenient!!! Erin then took me to the best place in the world... FUN PARK!!! They have this game/arcade of Deal or No Deal and I am so addicted. Long story short, I dumped a few dollars in it and won the maximum amount of tickets you could win which was a whopping 400!!! Victory!!! So we bought a bunch of random stuff and went on our way. Right after, I went to help my buddy Nate at a talent show held up on campus. I just backed him up on guitar and vocals but it was pretty fun.
After that all the gang got together and went to Chili's for dinner. I really enjoyed being with everyone and laughing our heads off about random things. Good times... gooood times. The finale was brought by an Oreo cake (my favorite) and a dream deciphering book given to me by the lovely Erin. She is just great. :) So a pretty swell day I would say. I was sung to far too many times but I guess I can handle a little attention if I have to... :) We all know I hate it.
