Ryan Recites A Poem
"The Hat" by Shel Silverstein - Read at Jane Addams Elementary School, Palatine, IL - May 22, 2008
Ryan's Poem, The Hat from Eric Friedman on Vimeo.
Imagine that (a) you don't have to bend over sideways to view this and (b) the plunger he's holding is on his head - fun stuff!

The Outer Planets
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. 1,300 Earths could fit inside of Jupiter. Jupiter has liquid and gas and has a great red spot. Gustus is a robot made on Earth and sent to Jupiter in the year 1940. He can spin himself around really fast, like 200 miles per hour, faster than a cheetah!
Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun. 750 Earths could fit inside of Saturn. Saturn has big rings. Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto do too, but theirs are skinny rings. Pluto's rings are the skinniest in the solar system. Saturn is one of the "gas giants". Rings is from Saturn. Rings gets angry when something breaks, like his clock when it shakes on Saturn. Then Rings is late for the Planet Heroes meeting, like four hours late.
Uranus is the third largest planet in the solar system. Yuri comes from Uranus. He built the turbo shuttle, because the planet Uranus spins on its side.
Neptune has the fastest winds, faster than 2,000 miles per hour. Wooowwww! That was cool, you did not know that? It is the eighth planet from the sun. Neptune has a liquid core, it's the only planet with one. Tune is from planet Neptune. Tune has liquid in his head. Tune rides on a wind machine that pushes the wind and Neutron and Photon go "Wooowwwoooowwwooowww".
Pluto is not the coolest planet in the solar system. The surface temperature is -375 farenheit. Wow that's super cold. It used to be called a planet, it orbits the sun. It orbits neptune. Shiver has a spaceship that transforms into a snowblower. Shiver has ear muffs like Neutron. Shiver lives on Pluto, it's so freezing there.
Eris is the tenth planet from the sun. It would take 16 1/2 Eris's to make a belt around the Earth. Eris was just discovered in 2006. Neutron is from Eris. He used to be a bad guy who wanted to destroy the solar system ace. Now he wants to save the solar system ace.

The Inner Planets (& their heroes)
Mercury is the first planet from the sun. Mercury has the fastest orbit in the solar system. Mercury is not the hottest planet (that's Venus). Zip lives on Mercury. Mercury feels hot, so sometimes he changes to invisible when he lives on Mercury.
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. Venus is the sixth largest planet in our solar system. Venus has a thick atmosphere, much thicker than Mercury's. Dazzle is from Venus. Dazzle can melt anything.
Earth is the only planet in the solar system with human life. Earth has animals, trees, beautiful rivers, water, volcanoes, and all sorts of that. Earth is the third planet from the sun. Ace lives on Earth. He does skateboard racing and he failed. He made a big mistake.
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. Sometime ago there was a kind of life on Mars, like on Earth. In 1993 a big rock made big news, it showed life on Mars. Digger lives there. Digger can dig as fast as he can.

Ryan's old site
This is Ryan's second website. His first was a picture post that we kept on a free website. The site is still free and still out there. Warning, it is LOADED with pop-up ads (since it's free), but there are some cute old photos there if you'd like to see them. I stopped updating the site after he was around 1.5 years old, it just became too cumbersome. Hopefully this blog format's easier - plus he can decide what to talk about here (there's always something on his mind, even if it's about going to school on other planets).
A silly post, Ryan style
Today was fuesday. I went to school on planet Mars. It was a little freezing. We had to shiver because the temperature was -70 below 0. I did not know we were on Mars, I thought we were on Earth. I went to art, it felt like we were on Venus. I was so hot, I asked Ms. McKenzie to have a drink of water, because it was HOT. We went outside and it felt like we were on Earth, it was just right. Me and Jack played at my house for 14 1/2 hours. Umm, you dance in the planet Disco World. Disco World! It was so much fun (sings "do, ding, ding, doo"). 200 different things copied to planet Disco World. You never ever stop singing and dancing up at planet Disco World. The music never stops - never stops - until the planet's gone. Then the music stopped singing, because it was bouncing, flying, crashing, pictures, then it landed on the sun.

My First Entry
My name is Ryan. I was born in 2001. I live in Illinois. I am in first grade, almost second grade. My daddy took me for a bicycle ride for 1.1 miles last summer. My mom and dad give me lots of snuggles every day. I hope you like reading my blog.
