I think I will call this picture "classic beauty" Hey Suckers!! First I want to thank danyell (Danielle) for setting up this blog and her kind post, what an awesome birthday gift.
Well it has been awhile but I have officially crossed an item off my list. Some of you may say "finally, that should be easy." Well it was hard for me so BACK OFF!!!
It is official I am no longer a segway virgin. That's right folks I have crossed the threshold and can now take my spot with the other great nerds who have ridden segways.
Here is my after action report.
3 segway wrecks (only one was me)
Many Points, laughs, and stares.
One fastest lap.. 47.16 seconds (by me, suck on that Danyell and Long, you should have known you couldn't hang)
I grudgingly have to give the best crash to danyell, who in the carnage of her wreck lost both of her shoes.
In conclusion, segways are awesome and I am awesome for riding a segway.
As a side note I am adding, learn to play the drums to my list, so if any of you can hook me up with a drum set let me know. Or if any of you play other instruments and want to jam...lets do this thing.
Your guide for life,
-Ryan
You all wish you could have seen my awesome wreck!!! PS I totally would have won the race too if hadn't been showing off for Long and Meagan with my sweet wipe out.
ReplyDeleteUm . . . hmmm. Drums. Danielle, you rethinking this "list" thing right about now? :D
ReplyDeleteSo, a Segway. Niiiiiiice. *two knobby thumbs up here*
Drums, drums, drums. where were you about 5 years ago when we sold Dave's Drum set??? hmmmm I think you were on your mission. ya that's right.
ReplyDeleteBut hey - he has the books still and some sticks so anytime you're here he can give you a few pointers.
You look great riding that segway. I actually saw a cop riding one in Estes Park. Crazy. Great blog idea too.
LOVED the after-action report Ryan. I'm glad you are no longer a segway virgin. I wish you had Danielle's wreck on film -- we could replay it over and over. You rock Ryan, awesome blog!
ReplyDeleteso I just read your list - I can hook you up with the Mt. Rushmore thing. My parents live about 30-40 minutes from there. I have been many many many times.
ReplyDeletein the words of homer. I want to shake off the dust of this one-horse town. I want to explore the world. I want to watch TV in a different time zone. I want to visit strange, exotic malls...I want to live, Marge! Won't you let me live? that should be your quote but replace marge with danyell.
ReplyDeleteUMMM we are really good at Rockband!!!
ReplyDeleteyour life quote could also be (I will replace names and events as needed)
ReplyDeleteDanyell: ryan, when are you going to give up this crazy list?
ryan: Never, Danyell. Never. I can't live the button-down life like you. I want it all: the terrifying lows, the dizzying highs, the creamy middles. Sure, I might offend a few of the bluenoses with my cocky stride and musky odors -- oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "City Fathers" who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards, and talk about "What's to be done with this Ryan Mahoney?"
Danielle's wreck was epic! And just for the record had I taken one more lap I would have made it in 30 seconds flat I was just finding my stride.
