Hi Guys,
Just Mayan tonight... Ry and I are a little too emotional to write a full post, and I suspect thats the reason we haven't posted lately. There is so much to say lately and I feel our hearts are full of volatile emotion that runs raw and ebbs against our love. These past few weeks have been a test to see just how strong our love is. We're passing with flying colors, but it takes every ounce of strength to avoid the tears.
I made this video for Ryan, but also for my trip. Ryan hasn't seen the whole thing yet because it was too sad for him. But, seeing Ry's smiles gives me happiness like nothing else in the world, so I watch it... over and over again.
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.
Love,
Mayan

Leaving on a jet plane...
As we count our final hours together before Mayan flies off the Prague for the semester, we find ourselves wondering what will be the most memorable way to pass the time.
So far today we have:
1. Picked up Peet's Coffee on the way to Nordstrom Rack, where Mayan found three of her favorite brand of shirts and a new pair of ballet flats. Ryan dutifully helped her realize a pair of Ugg boots are not a stylish enough choice for Europe.
2. Picked up a Cheesehouse sandwich, aka the best sandwiches in the Northern Hemisphere, and returned home.
3. Packed Mayan's bag to head back to LA.
4. Realized that the shirts from Nordstrom Rack were too big, so went to exchange them.
5. Played a little baseball in the front yard. Ryan had to chase after a few of Mayan's hits.
6. Played 6 different sports in Wii. Mayan found out her Wii age was 46 today. Disappointment still lingers.
7. ...Which leads us to now, where Mayan is diligently blogging while Ryan watches the Giants game quietly.
It a good day, mostly because we've spent the entire day together. Still, there is a certain uneasiness that comes with not knowing what the future will bring. Sure, we hope to Skype everyday, but we know that might not happen. We hope that e-mail will keep us in touch, but we know we will still feel far apart. Still, we have about two weeks left before Mayan leaves the country. She will be working at CLU until she leaves. Ryan plans on pumping iron to pass the time. Video games also help.
Both of us hope that this blog might be our anchor, somewhere we can 'come home to.' We hope that you guys will stay with us as we venture on the journey of the next four months.
Love,
My and Ry

OMG, Mom! I totally made E! News tonight! Love, Bristol
The cast of Jersey Shore. Bristol Palin & Levi whatshisname. Lady Gaga. Brett Favre.
Say it with us.... Media Tarts. Because we aren't comfortably saying what we actually want to say.
R:There are a lot of musicians in this boat. Like Britney Spears.
M: What makes you think of Britney Spears?
R: Just 'cuz it seems like she's always trying to get the attention of the media... by shaving her head...
M: Why? Who do you think?
R: Actually, I change my answer. Lady Gaga. I think she is weird so people will remember her. She wants to stand out.
M: Let the record show that I respect Lady Gaga's music. I like the way she sings and plays piano somewhat decently. See example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-pRJE3kTGw
R: I never said she was bad, I just think she dresses up like a WWF wrestler.
M: Okay but I think Lady Gaga isn't a fame.... tart.... in the way Bristol Palin is. Her and the baby daddy got back together and "separated" just to be on the cover of magazines.
R: I don't even want to know who Bristol Palin is. I'm too mad about Brett Favre. Yeah. I don't know how to put what I think about Brett Farve into complete sentences. Mostly it would just be a string of insults.
M: Lets hear it. My first one would be idiot.
R: Douchebag. (Wow, Ry.) Lint Licker.
M: Okay, lets justify some of those.
R: He mostly is a traitor.
M: To who?
R: To the Packers! And everyone in the world! He's a liar. And a jerk because his sweet play beat the Niners.
M: This is personal isn't it?
R: The thing about Brett Favre is he starts something and then just watches the media have a field day with it! He sits back and just revels in the media fenzy. How is what Brett Favre's doing with his life NBC newsworthy?
M: Couldn't that be said about any of the people we have mentioned?
R: They all make the news for no apparent reason. There is a reason we have E! News.
M: False. Its for Chelsea Lately.
R: I meant the show E! News. Strictly a show... about people we shouldn't care about.
M: So who is newsworthy? The people who do-good for the world?
R: I don't really enjoy the news anyways; its so depressing. When thats the only thing people see or hear on the news it doesn't bode well for our society. Sorry. Got kind of deep on that one.
M: I'm down here with you, bub, So you are depressed by the cast of Jersey Shore.
R: I've never even seen it. The only person I have ever heard about is that Snuuki girl. Shuutki? Snooki? She looks like a man.
M; Miss Swan say she looka-like-a-man.
R: She really does though.
M: I'm thinking more Oompa Loompa.
R: Yeah, but... like a man Oompa Loompa. And all the people on Jersey Shore are not intelligent at all. Its bad.
M: So... consensus... only smart people should be allowed on TV.
R: No.... not only smart people! I would never be allowed on TV.
M: If only smart people were on TV, it would be a 24/7 marathon of Jeopardy. And it would be AWESOME.
R: So I would get about three right per day.
M: And I would get two. We're not media tarts.
Sigh. One day the media world will be set right again. One day.
Brett Favre, You suck.
Sincerely,
Mayan & Ryan.
