My Very First Post. – 4 Years Later.
A long, long time ago in.. well.. this galaxy, a dashing and talented young man decided to start a Blog about nothing. Well, that is not exactly true. He wanted to start a Blog about what is important in each of our lives. About current news and trends; about politics and society; about the arts- music, books, film, etc; about amusing and ironic things; about you know, life. A Blog to discuss what is important to you (or important to Ryan and his delusional belief that what he says matters to everyone!) Thus on the 24th day of June, 2006 in the Year of our Lord, Ryan Saves The Day was born.
RyanSavesTheDay.com was the dream child of Ryan Travis and Mike Antoni- two friends who like to talk at great length about any subject you put in front of them. At first things went well. Mike’s personal Blog took off and he fell down the rabbit hole that is the Internet, and now makes his living online. Ryan continued to do the Internet thing, but the Blog fell to the wayside. One year went by, and then two, followed by three and four and Ryan Saves The Day went on to the “Oh Yeah, That Thing!” afterlife. Until now.

Ryan Travis here. Okay, so it’s August 24th, 2010, and I’m finally posting my first Blog entry. It’s just a little late. 50 months to be exact. Four years. 16 million babies born between the time I made the site, and this post. Future Blog readers, perhaps?
That’s right folks, my ‘amazing Blog idea’ that seemed so important and captivating in 2006, took FOUR YEARS to write. Actually, I spent about 10 minutes writing it and about 2,100,000 minutes to click ‘add new post.’ In other words, I’m really good at this. I should win an award for being lazy and incompetent.
Here is what the Blog looked like in 2006 when Mike and I designed the site. It’s pretty funny, but we really knew nothing about how to Blog (we didn’t know Wordpress existed) or design sites. (It’s actually not too bad, really.)
