Looks like another winner! I've been enjoying reading Ryan's selected posts and like his style, especially quotes such as this one: "Life is one long series of working, sleeping, getting fat, and watching television. If that’s the case then, why not be grateful for it?" ;) Looking forward to the next two weeks!

I've been reading what comes out of Ryan's "process of creating organized words from the mass of random ideas, experiences and words that make up my life" and he always seems to zero in on what many of us are missing. Excited for this one!

"The best compliment I’ve ever received from someone after they read my blog was that they enjoyed it. That’s all I hope for."
That's a great attitude. It shows in your writing. Thanks for including me among the blogs you enjoy. I think you offer something unique to the blogosphere. And, your blog is among my favorites too.
May you gain many many more subscribers in 09.

Carma -- The only thing I left out of that list of sleeping and eating and getting fat was blogging. How could I be so silly!?
TJ Hirst -- Thanks!
ejly -- I'm pretty protective of my waffle cones. A regular cone? Yeah, I might let you have one, but a waffle? No way, not even for favorable comments. Go ahead, bring on the ugly :)
Betsy -- Yeah, this has definitely given me insentive to post more. Three a week, actually, is the specified number. I don't think I've done three a week in . . . I don't remember.
Anya -- I sure hope it's fun! If not, it's all my wife's fault . . . . :P
Bamboo -- I'm glad all my favorite people are joining me for this little adventure. I'd like to garner a few more subscribers, that's for sure. At least 10 more--that's my goal. I've been hovering just below 40, and it would really be nice to see it hit 50.

I've been reading Oktober5 for a few months now, and can attest to Ryan's consistent ability to make me both laugh and think. Great pick, Chuck.
Ryan, your type of blog--the kind "about nothing"--happens to be my very favorite kind. It fits right in with my decision to be more intentionally unintentional (in other words, more open to whatever feels right) in 2009. (Also, thanks for sharing the other blogs you love. I already added a few of them to my reader.)

I am surprised and pleased by this choice. I haven't been following October5 - but I've heard it name mentioned all over the blogosphere. Interesting fellow.

Kristin T. -- Feeling life rather than controlling it is highly recommended. You miss out on so much when you've planned away all the time doing only what you expect to be doing.
Matthew Dryden -- Strange, cuz I've heard your name all over the blogosphere as well. And we even had a "conversation" but not really a conversation (since I didn't know what one was). You must hang out in darker circles than I, because I hang out in friendly circles where no one mentions me.... What are the dark circles saying?

Fantastic choice, Chuck. Ryan is one of my favorite writers. Truly unique. You guys are in for a treat.

What a great choice Chuck. I am glad to see that someone is going to get Ryan up and posting again! I just hope he leaves the comment section open.
Ryan,
You are truly a talented writer, photographer, and I am sure dad and husband. You always speak with honesty with a twist of humor. I look forward to when you visit my blog and comment. You always leave me with a smile.
I would have never guessed you were shy and a perfect target for school-yard bullies. I see you as perfect guy with your hands full!
I am honored to be mentioned above. I do try to write with honesty. Every once in a while those honest posts I write seem to vanish. I wonder where they go?
Three a week. I can't wait.

Cool! Looking forward to digging in. Haven't had a chance yet but this looks like a good one. And anyone who's into waffle cones is okay by me.

Ryan, I have been a fan since I first read about 100 Squares for Christmas. Often times your posts make me think or remind me of the importance of family. Here are some of my other favorite posts in no particular order:

Must say 'Why do dreams go fizzle pop?' is definitely a fave. But then any post that quotes Frost has me from the get-go.
