Comedy,
Friends Tonight I wrote the bio for Seneca’s new website. It’s fairly accurate with some intense adjectives. Enjoy.
Seneca James Francis Flanagan Buddy Ryan was born in the depths of the Adirondacks to a pack of majestic moon chasers (wolves). From a young age, Seneca took to drawing, scratching the likenesses of his favorite folk heroes, Kurt Cobain and Mighty Mouse, on loose pieces of bark found in his native surroundings. As he grew older, he quickly developed a stern reputation in the lower 46 as being a wild eyed, heavy smoker and drinker with a quick and harsh tongue. That’s right. Seneca painted his sentences with curse words like Picasso stroked the canvas, often times yelling, “Oh FUDGE!” when his drawings were not up to his insanely high expectations. Yet even at a young age, the, “Irish Wolf,” as he is now known, showed glimpses of the masterful work that would later define his career.
As time continued to pass, Seneca’s skills improved as his nicotine addiction became fiercer. He eventually would give up bark drawing and move into other mediums including constructing elaborate pipe-cleaner statues, once even creating a life-size replica of his beloved Yankee Stadium. He also developed an intense interest in the pottery wheel after seeing the Patrick Swayze film, “Ghost.” But it was another medium that would make the mark, quite literally, on Seneca’s life. Tattooing.
Tattoos have been practiced around the world for over 5,000 years. That’s 3,000 years longer than Jesus. If you’re looking for something to believe in or want the perfect recreation of a breath-taking butterfly on your lower back, Seneca “Irish Wolf” Ryan is your man. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with the, “Michelangelo of Tattoos” and turn your body into a living, breathing Sistine Chapel today.

Comedy,
Friends,
Travel Lindsay made it to Miami. Tomorrow, she’ll hop on a plane to Ecuador. Before she turned in for the night, we skyped (that’s video chatting) a little bit. As you can see, we’re getting along really well.
You can follow Lindsay’s trials and travels over at her blog. And by the way, I taught her everything she knows.

Comedy,
Friends Those that remember my college roommate, Alex, know he’s a big time fisherman. He’s the guy drinking Busch on the shore of a stream, bitching about how only pussies use bait. Worms? Please. He’s rather eat a worm than catch a fish with one. Recently, Alex and Jared figured out an even better way to fish. Better than fly fishing? You bet. Believe it or not, Alex and Jarred caught these bastards with their hands. Yeah. With their hands. I bet you feel like shit for using a bobber.
11:37:52 AM Alex Buecking: dude, so we went up to this lake yesterday
11:38:07 AM Alex Buecking: where i had seen a shitload of fish at the inlet before but couldnt catch them
11:38:54 AM Alex Buecking: so after not catching them this time, jared and i were joking around and decided that it would be easier to catch them with our hands
11:39:12 AM Alex Buecking: but then we realized that we could actually do it
11:39:18 AM Alex Buecking: and fucking did it
11:39:28 AM Mike Rogge: that’s crazy
11:39:50 AM Alex Buecking: megan has pictures of the whole process
11:39:53 AM Alex Buecking: the fuckers were huge
11:40:01 AM Mike Rogge: cant wait to see them
11:40:03 AM Alex Buecking: biggest trout ive ever caught by far
