“ Today is a weird day Foggy. two years. no sauce. no drugs. i guess i enjoy rasta sometimes but you know, thats my business. thats salad, as some would say.
Lets make a list. A list of Things That Have Changed.
Ok, Foggy, here we go. ”

1. I can sleep now and when I cannot I can see that there are things to do like read or make art or meditate or look at books of photographs. All things but get mad, panic, or get depressed when I cannot. INSOMNIA was there before bars. and I guess I can use that time. Hell, I even learned about classical music this year. yay.

2. I explore my sadness and depression with empathy, and with love for myself now, not in a destructive way.

Also I explore forgiveness AND joy and peace now. There is nothing “dumb” about feeling or exploring those things. It is nice to know bleakness is not intelligence.

3. I never think about that stuff,(Party Life- drugs-whatever; i was always working during and anti-social about it so there aren’t like disco-memories) in fact, it seems weird I ever even did that stuff like drink or drugs because life seems to much more open, with so many things to do, I guess I was young/dumb/bored/ not wise

4. I find people more interesting than myself however I also find that many people scare me.

5. I do not see “those things” anymore. I made them go away.

6. I know in my heart I can understand the universe and life only if I hold on to things like “Albert Einstein was here” and if I cry for no reason sometimes, (this is so lame) I go home. I go home and I read Anne Frank journal entries. Sometimes I catch myself trying to get through the page to help them, to build a portal or something.

7. That I have other things to do than finish lists.

8. gotta go.

9. oh, there is a touch of sadness in me wishing i were sharing this day with someone, but i am sharing this day, with you foggy, and with my loved ones who sent me this bitchin chocolate cake and ya know i am off to see bossman too which will always be great/weird- a touch of sentimentality - but i am ok with that. and i am going to listen to Iron Maiden somewhere in time tonight front to back and watch Diary of the Dead on DVD so how badass is that self-date. I would be rockin it with the little wise one but she is all Amandiana Jones right now rockin the globe on a mission. she is doing like several major archeological digs this week. they already uncovered a sumerian temple with lightning towers ( I may be imaginating here)

10. VOID were a kick ass band and DISCHARGE is probably the only other band with similar badf-ass brtual guitar tones.

one extra-

Not only will I love again, but I really worked hard trying to get to know me in the last two years and despite some obvious flaws and things I want to change, I think I am an ok person and I believe in love as an element like air or fire or pizza.

I think that two years is a real achievement, and I also found that post pretty inspiring.

well done ryan. with so many so called 'stars' going back and forth from re-hab these days, its good to see somebody managing to be successfull in their fight against drink and drugs, and being so upbeat about it.

I can imagine it would be an odd time for him.

Buy Ryan, this is something we're all very proud of you for. :upyours

this was posted by Ryan? It's no longer on his page and seems different than him normally, but I assume it was his :confused

I'm pretty sure it was him. I picked it up last night about midnight UK time but it had gone from his blog this morning. There was other stuff about the same time. Maybe he just thought better of it and took it down.

well it is very Ryan to blog and erase, but with all this hijack business it's made me suspicious and with it being a very sane post I thought I'd ask :P

You have a point...It's maybe too sane although it is a serious subject. There are surprisingly few typos when I come to read it again.

He's had several pretty sane posts over the course of Foggy and mostly has removed all of them. Not to mention the metal reference at the end of this one definitely sounds like him.

The more I read this post the more convinced I am it wasn't him. Its TOO sane.

He referred to this, the two years, again, posted a couple more poems and pictures of himself, and said he'd be back eventually with the site that is now just werewolph weekend,
www.davidryanadams.com, and took the blog offline again, saying he had a record to do. Can't be sure, proofwise of course, but I believe that post was definitely him.

where is he blogging from now? Can someone give me the link?

Doesn't seem like he is, right now. The www.davidryanadams.com site is where he said he'd post some stuff eventually but it's still just werewolph weekend right now.

Congratulations Ryan!

“Not only will I love again, but I really worked hard trying to get to know me in the last two years and despite some obvious flaws and things I want to change, I think I am an ok person and I believe in love as an element like air or fire or pizza.

This makes me happy, because I agree, and it's good to know that someone can go through all the shit Ryan has and still feel this way. Maybe there's hope for the rest of us.

Also, it can be tough to acknowledge that you are an ok person. Go Ryan.

P.S. "little wise one but she is all Amandiana Jones"... <-- Amanda = Mandy? (Just trying to provoke useless speculations...)

This sounds like the Ryan from the narration in the Little Bear blog videos to me. It's not different, people. :) I don't see anything over the top or fake sounding that would make me think it's not him.

Of course. I did not know that needed deciphering.
No offense.

Usually I love his stuff like that, but this particular line made me do this: :rolleyes

He talked in a post later that day about not wanting to watch Diary of the Dead because he felt creepy. So unless none of the posts were him (unlikely) i'd say it was him, 100%

Of course, bitch!

No, Hi! No new song survivor today, so we can continue to be purely friends, but come tomorrow it's on!

I like that our relationship fluxuates. Keeps things intersting! One day friends, next day enemies, all days frenemies. :)

If it was you Ryan, well done mate. Keep up the good work, it will be worth it in the long run. Look forward to the next album. You are my number one artist, (after Cliff Richard of course).
