Interestingly enough, I predicted this exact response from you when I responded to your initial thread-jack. While your persona of the "Birdman" may be stale and tired, you feel it's still working for you, so more power to you I suppose. But you have to know it is neither frightening nor intimidating to anyone over the age of 20.
That's something you might want to keep in mind as you start to get a little older. Everyone knows the Birdman is just a persona and that the real Ryan is a pretty decent guy to deal with. You've even e-mailed me a few times and been quite decent. It's the real Ryan that has led to the success of your network, not your alter-ego, and I think you know that. So you might want to think about retiring the Birdman before you get to an age where it becomes ridiculous and cartoon like. I think you'd do better for it in the long run and get the real respect you deserve, but that's just my opinion.
While I'm trying to be civil, it wouldn't surprise me if you simply ignore my words and reply with the hyperbole of "stackin paper, fucking bitches, grinding 24/7 and destroying all who don't bow down before the Birdman". That would do nothing more than prove my point and be kinda sad. But I suppose it would keep the thread interesting.
