One who speaks or writes in a smug fashion about their own life and accomplishments

Well nothing fancy or heroic activities in this entry. School started...final semester. Please be looking for Graphic Design/Webpage opportunities in your areas, there's nothing in Youngstown. Moved our new preacher in yesterday. Super Excited. Names Ray Warfel Jr. great guy, wife, twin daughters, and son! Had a young lady get baptized last sunday afternoon, I had preached the morning service so it was exciting. Gotta run. TENNIS TIME!

Ok, I just have to ask. Do you mean a YOUNG lady?

by alp1926 at 08/29/09 10:36PM
You're welcome. We had a good laugh over it.

by alp1926 at 08/30/09 12:40PM
aw, what did it say before you changed it?

by cowgirl_bek at 08/30/09 1:48PM
Who got baptized? Look at Craigslist Columbus--you'll find a job.

NOW I KNOW, HOW TO SAVE A LIFE!

at 07/28/09 2:19AM

TRUE STORY:
Its 1 a.m. and kyle and I are on our way home from Cleveland, returning Jordan to Bekah at the Ullmans, we are both dead tired and are arguing over who will drive the rest of the way home. I continue to drive and we finally arrive in Campbell, our home town, and proceed up Robinson Rd. While driving up the street (about 1 mile from our house) we see smoke! and slow down. I ask Kyle "Do you see that!?", Kyle responds "Yeah probably a bon fire." We drive past, but me not thinking that it was a bonfire stop and throw it in reverse, and we see some orange embers coming from the attic. We drive around the block and see that from behind the house it indeed is not a bonfire! We come to the front of the house. I call 911 and report a fire on 853 Robinson Rd., Campbell, Ohio (First time I've ever called 911...AWESOME!). Kyle and I then get into saving mode and start fighting over whose going to kick down the door and pull out the smoke laden people. I let Kyle begin knocking in the door while I start beating on windows trying to wake people up. Kyle is gently tapping as if to say hello...so I scream "KYLE your not asking to borrow sugar! BEAT on the door!" While Kyle and I are knocking, the back of the house bursts into flames. A few minutes later the fire depart arrives, all 5 guys, and begin fighting the blaze. Thankfully the house was vacant. Neighbors flock to the scene, and some begin noticing us and asking who we are, I explain what happened, and everyone begins thanking us since the houses are so close and the fire could have very easily spread. I shun the credit and just say we were in the right place at the right time. Gave the fire department my number to call if they needed to question me. Pretty much..........................................We heroes!

"we heroes"?! really Ryan?! I think that ruined the whole story for me.
oh, but that's pretty awesome.

by rox_my_sox_07 at 07/28/09 11:09AM
first of all i have to laugh at megans comment hahahhahaha
second that was actually pretty intense!

by bballliz at 07/28/09 12:06PM
SORRY....WE'RE HEROES

by thisisryan299 at 07/28/09 12:28PM
I believe you are heroes. It could have easily spread to other homes that were not vacant. I'm proud of you both and glad no one was hurt.

by alp1926 at 07/28/09 3:02PM
thanks for waking me up at 1 am to tell me that story :P

TODAY...I BECAME A MAN!

Well today was a day of firsts for Ryan Firm. I started the day off at an early 5:30 a.m. to prepare myself for an early round of golf with my friend, Jared. I shot well. We proceeded to go to "The VIllage Discount Clothing Store" (a thrift store). This was the first of firsts for me. For those of you that know my shopping habits, you can imagine the culture shock that is was for me upon entering the store! With that being said...I LOVE THE VILLAGE DISCOUNT! I got 4 shirts and a hoodie for 8 dollars! AWESOME! I think I found a new favorite store.
But perhaps the biggest accomplishment of them all came around 6 p.m. when I shot my first gun! We basically had a Men's Testosterone Day with the guys from church and went down to a members house in Lisbon and blow stuff up! I was a little apprehensive at first. Being an art major we're taught that peace and love are the answers not guns, so as a stood there with gun in hand i was quivering. Im eyeing today the target with a MARLIN 33, line it up, and pow! nail the target first try! Im sure Im destined for greatness! Later we took aim at clay pigeons with some pretty powerful shot guns. Next we ventured about 6.7848539 miles into the back woods, where i was sure no one would hear us screaming and took aim at a sketch of Kyle Firm, done by yours truly, on a giant piece of wood. I missed! But dad on the other hand did not and let out all his anger on this drawing of Kyle. A side note of importance, Jonathon Kurish exploded a propane tank. Later in the evening, after nightfall, Kyle and Jonathon and Anna Dunn (who will be attending camp this year, 16, signed her up today!) decided to take the four wheelers out for a night time ride...I drove one for the first time ever! (another first) About 46 minutes later, we recieve a phone call the Kyle and Anna are stuck about 6.78488539 miles out in the woods, out of gas...soooo have no fear Ryan to the rescue driving the bull dozer for the first time ever to pull them out of the woods! AWESOME DAY TODAY!
Oh yeah, also sold the car today! FINALLY!
See everyone soon!

well I guess you could say...it was a good day!

by thecube at 07/10/09 10:27AM
well i guess u could say.....it was a fun or good day!!

by thethreat at 07/10/09 1:10PM
that was the first time you went thrifting?!?! we have a village discount here and last week i got 10 tees, 2 long sleeved tees, and a dress for $8.

by leighbee09 at 07/10/09 5:32PM
uhmmm i think they took you at the thrift store. if u go at the end of the month, they give you half off. Usually, if Ange can drag me there, i take 2 bucks and get 4-5 shirts. . .Did you hit any of the clay birds?

by jay at 07/10/09 11:11PM
Ryan are you sure she signed up we don't have anything?

by madam_librarian at 07/11/09 10:58AM
Whoever said you had to spend alot of money to look good....is just plain stupid.

by crimmomx5 at 07/11/09 4:23PM
^ well in Ryan's case maybe he does......j/k ;)

by madam_librarian at 07/11/09 5:47PM
