Ryan vs. Universe

Yesterday was, seemingly, a shit day for a lot of people, so I took it upon myself to do something about it. That's right, someone had to kick the universe's ass, and I'm always willing to step up to the challenge. So, here it is, Ryan vs. Universe, the photo essay.

Luckily, I had been training for this fight for some time:


I thought about going as my alter ego:


but in the end, I decided to take the universe on face to face. I looked into the cosmos:


and was surprised when I found the universe unguarded:


That the universe was a Gloworm was also a bit of a shock, but I didn't let it throw me off my game. I saw my opportunity and took the universe by surprise:


It was a tough fight, and for a while I wasn't sure I would prevail:



But I wasn't about to let everybody down, so I screamed my war cry, and did what any good warrior would:



I didn't want to take any chances of the universe surviving, so I took a few precautions, which I thought best not to capture on camera, but a passerby snapped a picture with a cellphone:



Like any good superhero I ended the episode by staring off into the sky, soaking in my victory:




THE END (here's to us all having a better day!)

  4. glad to hear it, laura (it seemed to work here, too)! i think the universe will lay low for a bit, but i'm ready for him if he tries to make a comeback.
