life on the rye

old addictions


meet new addictions

koala drink is probably the worst/best thing that has ever happened to me. i wouldn't be surprised if i drink more then a a gallon of this stuff a week. my recycling bin is literally jam packed full of these empty bottles..

"seasoned broad bean" is a bit of a odd thing to eat at first. mostly because they look like fried beetles and the crunch and texture also lends credence to that theory. i can tell you this though, once you've had your first you can't stop eating the damned things.

anyways my life is probably boring you so here are some videos .
i'm sure a bunch of people have seen these but watch them anyways! every time i watch them i'm just more and more impressed

if you watch any of these watch THIS ONE






you know what it is about these people and why they're dope? because they're hungry for it. their talent isn't because their friends do it so they do it too.. it isn't to be cool.. it's out of necessity and hunger. watching stuff like this just inspires my drive.  i don't bboy cause my friends do it, i don't bboy cause it's cool, i bboy because it's my love my art my food. thats right my food! when i get hungry i eat it!!

re-defeet dope

and yea those are my feet.

some more cooking with ryan

you know what else is nice on a sunny afternoon like today?
a little spinach pizza.


i haven't gotten many comments on this stuff so i don't actually post the recipes if you want the recipe you're gonna have to do a little more then just creep the blog and leave. comments people comments. i can see how many people visit a day ...

so if you wanna see more of this


then i wanna see more comments.

btw i had a bit of spinach left so i went ahead and made some spinach gomae

the recipe for spinach gomae is so ridiculously simple and delicious you'd be stupid not to try it.
peanut butter, soy sauce, a bit of sugar, mirin, and a drop of sesame oil

ps. skitchblog did a bikecheck on my baby  check it out

sad song on a sunny day

sometimes i like to just stay home and listen to my records. this tends to worry brian especially when he calls my house and he hears al green in the back ground and he knows it's one of "those days" hahaha. truth is if you don't spin'em what are they worth?
it may be one of those days but this is some damn good music.











i just thought i should let you know you're mad sleepin on this song by stevie wonder... just let it run

i know because only one person downloaded it..
summer soft

ryeone chillin in the sun

life on the rye..

people keep asking me how i don't eat meat.. "ryan how do you do it!?!"
honestly it's not that hard. i don't miss meat at all. stuff like this make it easy for me



nothing like a fresh salad on a summer day. pecans, cranberries, avocado, cucumber, spinach, salad mix, cheddar cheese
and this stuff.



i know you wanna be vegetarian too.. join the good guys

ryeone

summer breeze makes me feel fine.

i know we've been mad slackin on this.. but you know what?! you've been mad slackin on your end too readers! seriously if you want our gems you have to pay a bit on your end to. i don't think it's much to ask for a comment here and there . and if you want consistency than it's only fare to ask for consistency in return..

well anyways with all this beautiful weather all you can really do is thank God and and throw on those summer jams nawm'sayn?

download it here --> summer breeze- isley brothers



you want this song? i don't know if you deserve it..

okay fine summer soft
i know it gets better trust me.
my favorite man of motown al green

don't forget this one! i've been searching everywhere for this...

..so i hope you appreciate this.

the revival

FINALLY!!! i can post this.. i've been waiting so long

THE REVIVAL from morehartfilms on Vimeo.

btw thug life

keep it simple for now
ryeone straight thuggin

f*ck the POH LEECE

this to me is wack as a young male growing up in vancouver i have to be straight up and say i don't trust the police. and if you don't trust the police who the hell can you trust... i know i'm not alone here. this is a big reason why i don't use public transit so much

so what if he smells of marijuana i've heard of dudes with entire garbage bags full of marijuana on the skytrain where were you goofs then? the vindication behind his anger is that even if he did smell "like drugs" why is he automatically carrying enough weed to be arrested. the only possible reason is they think he's some sort of marijuana fiend or a drug dealer now THAT is pretty offensive no matter what angle you take. 
transit police are the worst of the worst. that lazy government needs to get off it's ass and do something and train these people properly.

police + ryeone = anger +1

LOOKBOOK GIRL(S) OF THE WEEK

ryeone gettin nasty

vancouver OH GEES

the title says it all. what most people don't know about me is i'm like a sponge. i absorb information and knowledge like crazy. my knowledge of vancouver bboy history is pretty vast. so heres a little lesson in vancouver bboy scene. me and my bromie brian were chilling and he was surfing through youtube videos tagged under "vancouver-bboy" and he came across this video.

see if you can spot a few local celebrities


contents under pressure is a definite OG crew it's pretty crazy seeing dj flipout in action and rob rizk too. and seeing that they aren't half bad too! who really blew me away though was jayzar

this dude.

his stuff was on some other level...
stolen from mango's bboy album speaking of mango
look at his boobies

and also look at the spot hes practising in "roundhouse" see i pay attention.

ryeone the sponge over and out

This S*** is too sweeeet

technically i didn't even pay for a ticket my bromie brian did but 20 bucks for a roots concert is not bad by all standards.
we were able to get right up front to the action i literally coulda spat on black thought from where i ended up due to dumb asses pushing us.

ryeone vancouver's favorite son

to hiatus and back

it has a been a long couple of weeks for me dealing with the inner demons of my life. i've fought a long and strenuous battle with my self, over self identity and moral fiber. and it's funny that i put up that april fools joke cause i didn't know i'd totally go on this weird blog hiatus. the best way i can explain to you what i have been doing without this blog for the past few weeks is sorry yes another video. but i promise this explains it all



and to you "young and not awesome at all" guys that keep spamming our comment moderation just how young are you? i mean seriously i read some of that stuff. are you in like grade 7? cause that ish is weak. you don't see me leaving a bunch of stupid turd burglar comments on your site.. you know why? cause i have better things to do then go to a boring ass website run by a couple fagle wannabe designers.. i actually never go to your site so it's actually quite an honor that you come here to check out our site and hate on us.


but that aside i'm back is my basic point here people. back and better then ever on that rocky ish..

ryeone has just begun son
