beesisco and i had the final game of our mariners' 16-game plan fall last saturday night - junior homered after brian hollered out in his bawston accent "hitta hoamuh joonyaaaaaa!!". glad we could be there for what was possibly his final career HR. hope he comes back though next year... in junior's next at-bat, stupid rangers' manager intentionally walked him -- um, YOU'RE BOTH OUT OF THE RACE, you're playing the game in seattle, can you just let us watch junior bat for one last time????... sipping some cafe umbria with spike laying here by me, wondering which lead is going to be my next career step... missed the blisses while they were in cali this weekend, they're such a regular part of the brink life!... our friends' moves here to WA have been such a great thing! i've really been so blessed to have mike and jen around and am so excited for the arnolds' arrival in a couple of weeks... it's weird how i remember watching the soup and all these clips of jon & kate plus 8 where she was regularly SMASHING that guy and he couldn't even talk. not to defend the guy- he's seemingly a total jerk. i'm just saying that somehow she's become the sympathetic figure here when she couldn't have been crueler to him. i didn't watch the show, just the lowlights on the soup:) here are some clips:

thank you, mom.
dear mama,
thank you. thank you for always making me smile. thank you for always being a safe-harbor.
thank you for purposing to spend time with me and having those "date times". thanks for making me always feel i can be myself- whether i'm celebrating, crying, struggling, whatever. you're always my number one fan.. always interested, always loving. thanks, mom, for valuing me and making me a better person. i love you and miss you more than i can express.
happy mother's day.
love you,
nathan ryan

nothing more than feelings
i was talking this morning with david and we both could see how, in our experiences growing up in church, it was a constant decision to not emote/feel/express... so now we're weeding out that grey-ness to try and see if we can live in color. i envy the brothers and sisters around me who are worshiping and engaged, who love Jesus and can get excited about it. who can fuck up but who know we get grace. its important to me to know that i can go there. i edit myself so often, i need to express myself with a word some friends won't like and will tell me not to use. it doesn't matter. its what i'm feeling... my issue with those friends is they have decided not to feel that. or to pretend they don't. the problem with that is, i did that for years and it just got me to a point where i wasn't feeling. so i need it. other friends are reading this right now and laughing at me, and that's alright too. flaws and warts.
spike helps:) he's such a loving dog... he makes me laugh how silly he is. its weird, after years of pleading to get a dog, jenny finally allowed it and now she does the larger share of taking care of the little guy. she's awesome. whatever- i didn't write that thinking "oh she'll read this and it'll get points".. screw it, i'm not taking it out! :-D i hate feeling conflicted, but whatever. its just what is on my mind so i'm trying to brain dump a little. i'll have to write a dot-dot-dot again soon... more brain dumping.

dot dot dizzy-izzy-izzott
annnd, off we go.
saw timbaland on letterman and realized its amazing this guy's a millionaire beat man who a lot of society just have no clue who he is... jeff kent's retiring from baseball. good riddance:P thing is, if you play for the giants and go to the dodgers, you basically are wrong. same goes for you johnny damon- red sox to the yankees? there's no place for this sort of line-crossing in canton... i think if pittsburgh pulls ahead before the half in the super bowl, i'm bouncing. that game is unappetizing. i can hear hassellbeck crying like in red dawn "avenge me! aveennnnge meeee!!!"... its so strange to feel a sense of calm by getting a cubicle. after spending the last 5 months in an open training room with 15 or so coworkers and just ugh. sensory overload everyday... spike is the best dog ever. you can all keep trying. serious... i've been really pleased with this crackberry curve. does email great, the maps feature is really cool and has come in handy a number of times, texting on qwerty is just so so much easier... GP and C-Webb 4 times a month on tuesday nights on nbaTV are worth $6 a month- tell your cable man... getting over a stomach virus. sucks. have to eat bland food, push the fluids and just feel like someone surgically inserted an airbag in my upper abdomen... blake's got a new face. listen to 'vampire weekend' if you haven't - its some fun music!... i'm hoping 2 things about G love- 1/the new bassist doesn't suck;P 2/they bring the winter tour to the pacific nw. can't trek to cali to see em in SF... g'night.
