The Ancient Art Of Ninjing.

I feel that the time is right to bring Ninjing to the masses. The following was originally posted on my old website, http://www.ryan.dsl.pipex.com:

Ninjing is the ancient art of getting fuelled with beer, dressing up like a ninja and then partaking in all sorts of ninja activities. Ninjing is best undertaken at night and in a public park or walkthrough, although plenty of fun can be had with the peasants around town. A particular favourite is seeing how close to passers by you can get without being noticed, which when rather drunk can be challenging.

The photos from this particular episode were taken in Launceston, Cornwall (near England) way back in 2002. Possibly earlier. The 3 ninjas picked for this mission were me, Foss and Chris. Just to avoid confusion - the ninja with his rusty sherriff's badge winking is Chris.


This is me. Ready for ninjing.




The true ninja is not afraid of bonding with other ninjas. Only in teamwork can their true potential be achieved.




If you look carefully, you should just be able to see 2 ninjas. Masters of stealth and cunning, the ninja is most at home in the shadows. See the awesome power as the ninjas summon the moon to do their bidding, blinding all enemies with brilliant moonlight.




Again the ninjas hiding amoungst the shadows. So horrendously powerful are these ninjas that the ground here shakes, as the zombies cower and tremor in their graves.




Witness the boldness of these ninjas, for their skills are so great, that they even blend in amoungst the cold tough streets of Launceston. They go unchallenged, unseen and unheard. They are the shadow-walkers.




Again the ninjas summon the power of the moon. A different summoning this time, as the ninja utilises the power of stench.



And thus the end is here. The ninjas put away their masks and return to their normal identities, never revealing their awesome powers during their normal day to day lives.

Woooyaargh!

Babies!

Yesterday at about 4am my sister had twin boys.


This is Steven John. He was born at 3:45am. He weighs aprroximately 4lbs 6oz, and is the eldest of the two. Notice his squished head, from being pushed out first. Babies have malleable heads.

This interests me. I wonder if you could do temporary compemporary modern art with babies heads? At least until they harden up...


Baby watching you.


This is Joshua Ryan. He was born at 4am, and weighs approximately 4lbs 6oz. As he was second out, his head is of a normal shape. And yes he is named after me. This makes me feel kinda nice, which suprises me.


As both babies were nearly 4 weeks premature, they need them some funky incubators.


This thing is cool. You can watch TV, make phone calls and surf the intarweb. It's quite expensive though, and will cost about £5 if you want to watch TV all day. This kinda reminds me of Max from Flight Of The Navigator. Compliance!

The twins were due on Christmas day, so they're gonna have to spend a couple more weeks in the hospital yet.

Congrats, Carla, but don't expect me to babysit the buggers!

And I'm an uncle. Scary. Muahuahauhauhaaaa!

Peanut Ant.

It snowed pretty hard today. This is unusual because we never normally get snow until Christmas is long gone. But today it came down pretty hard. I took a couple of pictures from my desk at work


Snow. See? Not especially interesting for you I know, but I was pleased with the way my phone managed to capture it nicely.



Someone I work with made a peanut ant. I call him Ralph.




Peanut Ant and gummi bear rider. Kinda reminds me of the lone ranger. Wish I'd made the gummi bear a mask now. Ah well.

Here's a picture of a badger. I made this.



And I found this on the net. Interesting....



Oh, and finally, I played an Xbox 360 last weekend. It was pretty nice. I played call of duty 2, and I can't really decide whether it looks better on my pc, or the Xbox 360. Not because it's so close in comparison, but because I'm a retard, and I genuinely can't remember. I should play it for a while on my PC and then go see the one in Dixons. I don't suppose they'll let me set up my PC next to the 360.

An Utterly Utterly Random Post!

Good evening children.

Tonight I have a fabulous menagerie of photos to bring to you. I must apologize for my absence of late but there's been a lot going down, and to top it all off, I've been without the internet for a few weeks. I've been to London, Moved house, seen naked people, amongst other things, and I have photos to prove it all! I will show them to you. Consider it my way of apologising.

However, I'm not gonna start with one of my pictures. It appears to be an anaconda dragging a kangaroo carcass up a sheer face. All I can say is,

Look at the size of that monster!

Clicky Clicky the pic for a closer look.../

I've moved house. I'm not living in my 'luxury apartment' any more. As you may remember, the place was so noisy I could never sleep. My new place is much quieter, and it's about £500 a month cheaper for me too, which is nice. The only real problem is that I have no room. I had a 16'x18' room at my old place on the seafront, and I went from there to a large 2 bedroom flat. My current place is a 4 bedroom house. It's very nice, but as it's a new house, the bedrooms are small and the walls are thin.

I have *a lot* of stuff, although I reckon I have about a quarter of the stuff I did this time last year. As my room is so small, I can't fit a lot of stuff in my room, or anywhere else for that matter. I currently have stuff filling the space beneath the stairs, in the front room, on the upstairs landing, in my room, and even the odd box in the attic! I can't really unpack my projector or my surround system, cos there's no room for it, so I'm watching less films these days, as once you're used to a 2 meter wide screen and £1500 sound system it's kinda a let down on a normal telly...

Anyway, here's some pics:


kitchen


Kitchen again, leading to...


Garden! If only the frikking weather would be nice, I could get some hammock time going on!


Front room, the blond haired woman is Lorna, one of my housemates, the other is the Executive Lets hottie.


My room. As you can see, there's not a lot of room in there, especially with my 6' wide bed in it. That's Russ in the picture, another of my housemates.

However, one of the good things about the new place, is the neighbours. Imagine my suprise when I arose, freshly rested after my first night in the new house, and looked out of the front room window, and saw this:


Amazing! Truly the realm of porno movies methinks! All that was needed was for me to go down and offer to fix her fridge, which may or may not have been broken. I'm not sure it would really matter to be honest.

Following off from previous posts, Foss wanted a photo of the view from my room to prove how close I was to the airport at Heathrow. Here is it.


The plane was about to take off. It wasn't difficult to get this picture, I just looked out of the window every time I couldn't hear anything on the TV in my room.

I had also been havng keyboard troubles, as I spilt beer over 2 within 2 weeks. So I cought two more keyboards.


I bought this baby because not only is it waterproof, but it rolls up, and I was suckered in by the advertising on the packet like a proper consumer whore. It did appeal due to it's beer resistant qualities. Unfortunately it requires fingers like Hercules, and I couldn't type properly using it, and after a couple of days of using it, my finger joints were hurting.


I now have this cute little keyboard. It's a laptop sized glowing keyboard. It's a little awkward to type on, but at least it doesn't make my fingers hurt! It's small, so it doesn't take up much valuable desk space, and best of all it glows a pleasing cool blue. Next to the keyboard, you can see my new mouse, a Logitch MX100 Laser. Now, I'm firmly of the opinion that you can make anything better with a laser. That's right, A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G... it really doesn't matter what. Give it a laser, already it's at least 13.7 times better. And by better I mean totally sweet.

In other news, my little sister is pregnant. She's due on Christmas Day, but as she's having twins, I think they usually induce the brith a little bit early. I'm gonna be an uncle. Scary stuff indeed. Especially when my sister seems to think I'll be spending loads of money on them, for some reason...



I'm going to see Jurassic 5 in concert in Shepherd's Bush with Jimbo at the end of the month. In celebration, I took a photo with my new phone (Sony Ericsson k750i) of Russel's Eat and Learn mat, and altered it slightly for Jurassic 5 purposes. It makes a nice desktop, if you have a widescreen monitor, like me.


This one's for you Jimbo, hope you're feeling better!

That's all the news for the moment. I still have loads of phptos to upload, but it's a laborious process when you're doing a lot, so I'm gonna chill out, watch the end of the family guy movie, and at some point, I might consider going to bed.

I'll post again tomorrow or Monday. Byeeeeee!
