The Grey Ghost: Sean Ryan

Work Hard, Work Out

The Grey Ghost — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 14:36:20 +0000

Adam Carolla once said, “Don’t waste time thinking of ways to save a nickel. Think of ways to make a buck.” I like to approach fitness with the same attitude.

Chrysalis

The Grey Ghost — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 15:54:31 +0000

I haven’t had much time to blog since my move, but already I can tell my new home is the perfect incubator for a long-overdue metamorphosis. The new apartment itself

Juice Tiger

The Grey Ghost — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:02:52 +0000

Six weeks into my new fitness kick and I’m a little disappointed. I’ll lose ~5lbs one week, then gain them back the next. The good news is that I’ve been

Hot Seat

The Grey Ghost — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:12:44 +0000

Last night I had a dream so real that I wish it was. In this dream, I participated in an online controversy. Somewhere amidst The Internet, some Tumblr tard posted

Gonna Fly Now

The Grey Ghost — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 20:52:12 +0000

This is just a quick update to help track my progress. As stated in the podcast, I have next to no goals for 2013. With exception of moving into a

You Stumble and You Fall

The Grey Ghost — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 14:00:42 +0000

Hindsight is 20/20…or at least 20/25, I’d say. Certainly, there’s a clarity of focus; assuming there aren’t any obstructions or distortions to the lens. One of my favorite subjects of

A Three Pound Pile of Dreams

The Grey Ghost — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:21:26 +0000

One recurring element in my dreams is that I will neglect pets. Often during the course of my dream’s main plot, I’ll have small pets of some kind. Most often,

D*Con-struction

The Grey Ghost — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 13:42:12 +0000

Dragon*Con was an affair to remember, without a doubt. Four days of non-stop partying and shaking hands with gods… It was like Mardi Gras for nerds. It didn’t turn out

Karma Through Cardio

The Grey Ghost — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 14:19:42 +0000

I’ve been (mostly) consistent with my daily cardio workouts for about two weeks now. I missed a day or two when my original jump rope broke, but have since grabbed

Night Owl Vs. Early Bird

The Grey Ghost — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:53:21 +0000

Last night I got the first good night’s sleep I’ve had in a while. I had some very fun, vivid dreams and woke up fairly rested. This needs to happen

Kick Some Past

The Grey Ghost — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:45:25 +0000

Having run out of boxing movies in my Netflix Instant Queue, I turned to something more light-hearted: Hot Tub Time Machine. I’m a sucker for time travel stories and while

Walkout Bout

The Grey Ghost — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:38:51 +0000

I did get to wrap up my Rocky movie marathon with Rocky Balboa. To my surprise, I was disappointed by it. In fact, I’m having trouble deciding whether it or

Rope-A-Dope

The Grey Ghost — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 13:18:11 +0000

Over the weekend, I started watching through the Rocky movies. It’s something that I’d always meant to do with Ashley, but we never got around to it. The funny part

Dragon*Contemplation

The Grey Ghost — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 17:55:50 +0000

I am equally as stressed as I am excited about going to this year’s Dragon*Con. It’s already adding up to be much more expensive than I’d anticipated, but that may

Spoiler Warning Scale

The Grey Ghost — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 16:00:18 +0000

Experiencing media in this generation is rife with peril. Thanks to the communication power of the internet, we must tread softly through our favorite news and social hubs to avoid

Skinny Genes

The Grey Ghost — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:21:35 +0000

As I struggle with my weight, I often fall jealous of my slender peers. Their ability to subscribe to the same or worse eating habits than I is discouraging. But

De Chao Ordo

The Grey Ghost — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 15:30:37 +0000

I’m a penny-pinching luddite–I refuse to pay exorbitant monthly charges for unsatisfactory goods. This is why my home theater is an absurd Rube Goldberg machine of adapters and proxy devices.

Seany Nmemonic

The Grey Ghost — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 22:00:46 +0000

I’ve been told hundreds of jokes. Good jokes, bad jokes, dirty jokes… If someone begins, “Tell me if you’ve heard this one…” I know very quickly into the story if

“Butthurt”

The Grey Ghost — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 01:00:10 +0000

One of the Internet’s new vernacular gems, “butthurt”, has grown on me. Partially because it’s heavy on the hard consonants, but also I really like butt jokes.

Role Models: Sean Kennedy

The Grey Ghost — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 11:00:26 +0000

What separates Sean from kooks and conspiracy nuts is he’s a constructive, talented entertainer. Rather than pumping paranoia, he’s constructive and inspiring.

Animazement 2011, Panelized

The Grey Ghost — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 22:00:33 +0000

There was a sad lack of panels worth a damn at Animazement 2011. Nearly all the approved panels were more like live performances of gimmicky blog posts.

Spock, the Final “Fuck You”

The Grey Ghost — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:00:07 +0000

I love Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, though this only establishes that I am a living mammal. However, there’s one part that’s always been to me that annoying

DLC What I’m Saying?

The Grey Ghost — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 11:00:24 +0000

PSN users have paid for services they now can't use. Games with multiplayer are now reduced to less than half a full product. Some games are effectively dead.

Panel Progress

The Grey Ghost — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:23:59 +0000

Just a quick update to keep this blog vital… The biggest news for me this summer is that I won’t be moving. At least, not until January. My girlfriend got
