Ryan received the good news this week that several of his old friends are doing very well in life, and achieving dreams similar to his own.  Two of his friends from college (who are really more acquaintances at best) are having a pilot produced for their sketch comedy show.  Ryan was very happy for their success, though it called into question his own decision to stay in Peebles, Ohio after college, rather than traveling to LA to achieve his dreams.

Another of Ryan’s friends performed in a sketch comedy festival and partied with members of the State and the Whitest Kids U Know.  Ryan was invited to attend the festival, but declined. 

When asked why he didn’t attend the festival, Ryan replied, “Because I’m a stupid piece of shit and I hate my god damn miserable life.”

To date, several of Ryan’s former creative friends are moving on toward fulfilling lives.  He has friends working on national commercials, reality shows traveling the world, composing music for Nickelodeon, touring with the Spongebob Squarepants the musical, working for the HBO reality series 24/7, and at least one friend is married to an underwear model. 

"I'm very happy with their success, and admire their ambition,"said the soon-to-be unemployed amateur comedian.

Ryan is currently in his room, updating his website.
