Hello again, Internet. It's been a long, long time, and a lot has happened since the last time I tried my hand at this whole "blog" thing. I know I once wrote that I was quitting this business for good, and making my way in this crazy ol' world as a fugg'n rad jetpack wearing hockey player, but money has a way of changing your dreams.

Or rather, lack of money has a way of changing your place of residence from an apartment... to a shack in your grandmother's backyard. I wasn't sure I wanted a job as a freelance writer, especially after being effectively fired from my first job as a freelance writer, and had planned on flipping a coin to decide whether or not I would enter the working world a second time. As it turns out though, money made that decision as well, when I realized I didn't even have a coin to flip. So after a night spent in quiet contemplation, taking a long hard look at my life-
I decided to give it a go. And here I am, ladies, gentleman, and asexual scenesters, ready once more for cash money and criticial acclaim. The generous and hip Jake Hallman of Statesboro Connect has taken me under his wing, and until further notice, this is where I'll hang my (party) hat.

For those of you who have no idea who I am or what I'm all about, let me assure you, it's going to be a wild ride, true journalistic anarchy. I'm going to pee in your pools, and swim around in your toilets, and no one is going to be here to stop me. Except for maybe Jake, and occasionally other higher ranking members of the Connect staff, who will stop me either by hitting me, or threatening to take away my paycheck. For my parents, and other me fans, keep your eyes peeled for articles written by yours truly, appearing only in Statesboro Connect, on newsstands now.

Last thursday: I interviewed former child star Mae Middleton of TV's "Any Day Now", and took on the status quo movie rental establishment known in hushed circles as "Video Warehouse"

This is Ryan "Radman Rockets" Chartrau, and I need the world to know that I rocked this entry's face.

Way to go, duders! It was the best!

How often can one’s peeled eyes expect to find such articles? If not daily, then surely weekly is the obvious next option. I for one would be honored to have such a competent young writer pee in my pool - and by pee in my pool, I mean post in my local newspaper, weekly.

ryan should be assigned to the debris-littered streets of israel, the war-torn iraqi desert, a special spot not in front of the black white house fence, but on the majestic, regal STEPS. because he is that good of a writer.

Ryan, you are by far the most random/hillarious writer I have ever met. This entry was very entertaining!

Jake said...

Very nice. Call it "Statesboro Connect" and not "Connect Statesboro" again, and you're fired.

Sorry, had to live out the J. Jonah Jameson fantasy there. Sounds like you're in full Spider Jerusalem mode, by the way.

Jake said...

And how come nobody ever comments on my blog posts?

Ryan Chartrau is pretty much the Super Saiijan Level 4 Goku of writing entries. Reading what he wrote was so fantastic, it was the equivalent of being roundhouse kicked in the face with pure joy and satisfaction. The question I have for you America; "What are you waiting for?"

I've always enjoyed reading anything that you've written over the years. I hope you get what you're looking for. Job-wise or what have you. I miss talking to you. And when I have more time I'll write you a long email. Things are good though. Talk to you soon my dear Ryan.
