First off, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS!!!
Isringhausen throwing the last pitch, the celebration in full swing, the old guys looking on, Edmonds racing in to celebrate with his team…
Twas most groovy! The Houston Astros made it a great series with the Cardinals and kudos to them. But my hat goes to the Cards. Besides, I’ve liked Izzy since his turn with the A’s. 😉 And LaRussa was the manager of the A’s when I started watching baseball, so I was definitely cheering for him.
And more shots of the celebration…
I must say that last night’s game between the Red Sox and Yankees was super sweet. It was GREAT watching the Red Sox win. A great series there too.
But my cheers will now go to the St. Louis Cardinals. DO IT IN FOUR! We have a wedding next week and don’t want to miss a game!!! LOL!
Some Ryan Gosling fans are just…
… irritating!!!
I received the following email today from “concerned Ryan Gosling fan”–
subject: ryan gosling is hott
hey, im guessing you’re a ryan gosling fan…umm,i’ve been to your website
and i think that you’re waaay too negative when it comes to saying stuff on
the page.
i’m not trying to be mean, but i’m just pointing out a fact that everyone i
know has thought when they go on your page.
oh, and by the way, your photo page sucks. although ryan is one of the
hottest actors (EVER ALIVE!) you only displayed 3 pictures of him? what’s
with that??? you can use more pictures.
and also, since your pictures weren’t taken by you, and instead you
downloaded them without permission, i will be reporting you…

I replied:
Hi there concerned Ryan Gosling fan –
Thanks for visiting my website and thank you for taking the time to write.
I’m not exactly sure where I’ve been negative on my website. I
haven’t really gotten any emails about that, but I’d appreciate it if
you could point out where you mean?The images page leads to links with pages of Ryan in various roles.
If you scroll down a bit, you’ll see the links. There are many other
Ryan fansites that feature images of him (updated and all), so I leave
it to them to show those off. My site started several years ago and
has really just become more of a tribute rather than a frequently
updated site.As for the pictures not taken by me, which ones were you referring to?
I’ve done my best to credit the appropriate people regarding the
copyrighted photos and the conventions pictures are either mine or
belong to friends/acquaintances. The screencaptures belong to their
respective productions (as noted).Sorry if you didn’t like certain parts of the website.
Once again, thanks for writing.
Best always,
(Ohhh) Ryan… website owner
I was annoyed by a lot of what the person wrote. I know, I shouldn’t care what people write to me about my Ryan fansite, but the very last part of the email concerned me. First off, what pictures does this person think I’ve downloaded that aren’t mine? And second, report me to who?
I like the “i’m not trying to be mean but” that later turns into “your photo page sucks.” Hullo, if you don’t like my website, why visit? And if you think you can do better, then do it!
I think I was diplomatic in my response, though I’m sure the person didn’t deserve a response from me. I felt like venting about it, so there it is. Venting can be fun!
If you spell hot as “hott” does that make it hotter?
And here’s what I really wanted to say:
Hey, thanks for writing. But has anyone ever said these words to you: “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.”
And throwing that little saying aside, let me just say– SCREW YOU. If you don’t like my website, you’re more than welcome to click AWAY from it. Want more pictures of Ryan? Check out the other sites that have suddenly cropped up. They’ve got newer and better pics than the ones I have.
One more thing, I think you’ve missed the spirit of my little dedication to Ryan. I put the website up to share my admiration for Ryan in my own way. I do not answer to anyone but myself. I do my best to respect him and his fans, but messages like yours make me want to give in and just take the site down.
Too bad if you think I don’t have enough pictures and too bad if you think I’m somehow negative on my site. Think you can do better? Be my guest.
Thanks for writing. Now crawl back into your hole.
See, I would never write anything like that to anyone. It would be just too cruel and rude. I wonder if people ever realize what they’re doing when they write stupid shit like some of the stuff I get.
Anyway, enough of that! I need to catch up on some emails!
