Meet Mike and Ryan
Here is a picture of Mike (pictured to the right) and Ryan (pictured to
the left), who live next door to me. I have known them both since freshman
year, I actually met them at orientation. Ryan and Mike are both very good
friends of mine. They call Ryan "The Shark" because he has a tattoo of
a shark on his right arm. His hobbies include boxing, getting into disputes
with real estate agents and pretty much anyone else, stealing oxygen tanks
from ambulances (I neither condone nor recommend this action), and rubbing
his tummy. Although I have never had the opportunity to see Ryan box, rumor
has it that his fighting style in remnant to that of a young Bald Bull.
Out of all the people I have introduced you to so far Mike is the only
one who has a girlfriend. Mike's girlfriend's name is Mandy and she currently
lives in Cincinnati, far away from Mike. Needless to say his hobbies are
limited to talking to Mandy on the phone and AOL Instant Messenger and
doing his schoolwork. Once in a while Mike and his friend, Dan, from
GWU will promote clubs in the DC area under the guidance of Nassar,
Mike's current employer (this is only one of Mike's many lucrative endeavors).
In a couple of days Mandy will be leaving to study abroad in Japan.
Mike will be needing some cheering up, maybe you guys could help?
Both Mike and Ryan are looking forward to hearing from you.
3/27/00 Update: Mandy, Mike's girlfriend
of over one year, has left for Japan. Mike is really bummed out,
so if you guys have read this far please take the initiative to click on
Mike's e-mail address and send him a message to try and cheer him up.
4/15/00 Update: Last night, Ryan
had his first amateur bout. Unfortunately Ryan lost the fight by
decision, but considering his opponent has fought many times before Ryan
put up a great fight. If you would like to hear more about it, Ryan
would be more than willing to give a "play by play" commentary via e-mail.
4/22/00 Update: Ryan is now the
125 lb. regional novice Golden Gloves champion by default, sort of a paper
champion if you may. Rumor has it that his opponent heard of Ryan's
devastating fighting techniques and wet himself. Ryan received a
shiny gold medal that he modeled for the crowd with pride. I think
a congratulations is in order.
