So the big news is Casey and Taylor breaking up. Those two have definitely had their ups and downs and have even taken a break from each other, but they hadn’t ever really broken up. I guess that’s also why it made it harder for Casey to just let it go because he was thinking this was just a fight and it would blow over and everything would go back to normal. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. That’s why I asked Taylor if she was officially single. Her saying that she was proves that their relationship is over. And it sucks. It sucks for Casey, it even sucks for Taylor. I’m just hoping that it doesn’t mess up the chill vibe the rest of us have with Casey and/or Taylor. I guess time will tell.
As you know, Casey and I are close friends. We do a lot of the same things for fun, we go after the same kinds of girls, we 
live close to each other, and our birthdays are only 16 days apart. Our lives are so similar that we even had to deal with our parents getting divorced on the exact same day. But one thing I never get about Casey is how much he keeps inside. When I’m mad or stoked or whatever, I’m telling the whole world, but he’s like, more secretive or protective or something. Knowing C-Feit as well as I do, I know when to stop pushing him to talk. Lately, I’ve been learning to just let him handle his situation the best way he can, but also letting him know that I’m there if he needs me. It’s tough for me to just sit back and watch him deal with heavy stuff alone, but I have to respect that as close as we are and as similar as we are, we still are different people and don’t always do everything the same way.
I have to admit that I was not happy having to hear about the breakup from Taylor before Casey. Even though I’ve known 
Taylor longer, I thought Casey being my boy would mean he’d step up and say something first. A bunch of us had actually gone and played a few games of pool and Taylor and Casey were there. This was like the day after they broke up, but they never said anything. When we were playing, I remember thinking something was weird with Casey and Taylor. They weren’t acting the way they normally do around each other, and I just thought they had gotten into a fight or something. But my dad says hindsight is 20/20 and he’s right because all the clues finally added up as to why Casey was being so quiet.
I think the breakup has hit Casey pretty hard. It wasn’t his choice and I can tell he’s having a hard time with it. He kept saying that he was fine and everything was all good, but it’s not. Maybe he’s in denial about the breakup or he thinks he and Taylor have a chance to get back together. Might just be as simple as he really doesn’t want to be talking about it.
It’s a good thing that at least we have something awesome to look forward to: being roommates. For a while there, I wasn’t sure if Casey still wanted to be roommates with me because he’d gone into shut-down mode. It was a big relief to hear that I could still count on Casey to be my roommate, especially since that’s all we talked about since the first time I mentioned getting my own place. But now he’s officially on board and has a nice little deal to look after the house that’s gonna help him and me. Now, I just need to get the damn house! And I’m getting closer and closer to getting it.

wow, that really sucks. but at least both casey and taylor have you to talk to.
March 26th, 2008 at 1:53 am
break ups always suck. my parents have been divorced since i was 1 and a half. its crazy how it all works out and it sucks. my dad had been divorced and remarried alot. he got divorced for the third time when i was an eighth grader. since i’m the oldest i have to deal with alot of that divorce stuff and its awful. divorces aren’t exactly the same as break ups but when friends have been together like that for a long time it kinda feels like another divorce. i hope everything gets better and you just have to believe that things will. its hard for two people to go a step backwards and be just friends again but hopefully it’ll work out in the end. casey will come to you in time but for right now just let him know that you’re there for him.
March 26th, 2008 at 3:13 am
Ryan I think that your a great friend letting Casey know that your there for him was nice. Then have something good to look forward to was cool
March 26th, 2008 at 4:11 am
Sorry but i can not understand you!Is it my interpretation or you are only concerned about if Casey will be or not your room-mate? I know that you are worried about the break up, but sometimes people only need space, even though their friends want to help. As your mom said: “if you squeeze him ( Casey ) he will only complete squeeze out of your hands” ( modified, being Casey the subject)
March 26th, 2008 at 9:15 am
Ryan,
Your father is a very wise man, hindsight is 20/20… Shane is to Pro-Skating as Casey is to a being a committed roomate. You have given C-Feit a “job” in the past (touring with you and your mom)… I would suggest using your own hindsite and avoiding future fustrations with this friend.
Good luck.
March 26th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
you are a really good friend by letting them both talk to you about it, most friends would of just let them deal with it on their own. Even though Casey is quiet about it, it will take time for him to talk about it since he is the one that wanted the relationship to go on. Moving in with you will be good for him to get his mind on other things and his job offer seems like a really good deal for both of you. He will have a job and something to distract him and you will know things will get done and not have to worry when you are away. I hope you get your house soon too. It totally sucks how they keep taking the house you want off the market. Nothing makes you want it more than saying you can’t have it- haha. Well good luck with everything and hope you get your house!

my mom and dad split wene i was 1 and then wene i was 2 my mom got a boyfriend and now 13 she is still with him [not married]then wene i was 6 my dad met someone and then they split wene i was 12 i was devistated and heartbroken because someone i loved just got up and left my dad my sister and i and now that i am a little older my dad is really sick and doesnt know wats wrong with him so i can relate if a couple u know broke up its really hard to deal with and takes time to eal but if u have friends and family to support u then it will be ok.
March 26th, 2008 at 8:36 pm
ryan you just need to hop that it will just be a speed bump in the road and just keep driving. but the thing you need to thing a bout like your faimly and your job just talk to them and help them as much as you can. well that was nice replying from Evan Graham from ontario
March 26th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Ok, Ryan seriously do you not remember in season 1 you told Taylor that your dream girl would be her but with blond hair? Oh I know its not cool to go out with your best friends ex but havent you been crushing on her for years? I cant wait for the rest of the season to find out what happens with you guys. Good luck;-)
March 27th, 2008 at 8:14 am
Hi Ryan, i think it’s cool that ur always there for both Casey and Taylor. Even though it’s weird that Taylor told you about the break-up (and even weirder that you told Tony), maybe it wasn’t because Casey didn’t want to tell you maybe he was in denial or he thought they still had a chance with Taylor. Anywayz I love your show and I’ve watched it since the very first episode premiered. Also good luck with taylor!
March 27th, 2008 at 11:12 am
i love lamp
March 27th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Hey, Does he really read the comments here?
Anyway, brake ups are always difficult for everyone, but its just another step in life that teaches us how to deal with these kind of things.
Good luck!
March 28th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Hey Ryan i know exactly what you mean when you say it is hard to have a realtionship when your always on the go. I am a runner. I run track and cross country. I am also in karate and I travel all over the U.S. I recebtly got asked to be on the senior international team for Karate. That would be held in Bangkok, Thailand. So i never have time to go out with friends our even have a decent relationship with a guy so i know how you feel and how much it hurts to see your friends having fun with there boyfriends or girlfriends. I really want to go to my Senior prom but since i have no tiem to really have a relationship I don’t have a date I don’t want to go. i watch your show all the time and I believ that you desirve a girl that wants you for how you act and are not for what you make or who you are. you are smart, funny, and are a great friend.
Thank you
Jessica

March 30th, 2008 at 9:51 am
The thing i like the most at you is that you always say, when you feel well and when you dont. And this is musc easily for your friends. Because they know when they need to leave you alone. And when you need help.I respect that!
And good luck with Tayler.
Kate.
March 30th, 2008 at 10:40 am
Ryan its ok to be different from other people.i hope your friend Casey so you can communicate with him again.you just need to have faith in yourself so you will get your house in the time that you need it.I’m your biggest fan and i always watch you when your on mtv.
March 30th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Hey Ryan,
I’m only 1 person but I find as though your situation is one that can be found through other people’s eyes. Yes everyone is different but what i beleive you are doing is for the best.
March 30th, 2008 at 4:37 pm

Ryan you are an amazing guy… You have so much on your shoulders but yet you still manage to be a great friend and keep close to all your friends and family… Only if there were more guys like you… You make the things you go through seem so easy to deal with but I know they aren’t… It’s pretty cool that you are always there for your friends and straight forward with them.. As I am always there for my friends I think I need to start being a li’l more straight forward with them seems like my closest friends are shutting my out just as it did for you when Casey and Taylor broke-up
April 1st, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Ryan, I know you and Casey are best friends…. I think you should realize that Taylor may be the girl for you and she knows you better then any girl that came into your life and any girl that will!
April 1st, 2008 at 10:32 pm
I was recently caught in the middle of a break-up between my best friend and my cousin so I personally know how it feels. It is always hard to get the guys to talk about the things that make them sad and hurt I think because they don’t like to show weakness and cry but crying and talking does help. My cousin dumped my best friend two days before valentines day and I spent the next few nights sitting and talking to her and letting her know that I will always be there for her no matter what and now she is doing fine without him. It will never be the same when we are all together and its a little awkward but with time it will get better.
April 1st, 2008 at 10:51 pm
It’s always hard when a relationship ends that you thought would last forever…tell Casey to hang in there because as cliche as it sounds,”Time really does mend a broken heart.” Till then hang in there with him. Oh and let him know that when hes ready…Im here for him! haha!
April 1st, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Hey Ryan! I guess everyone goes through situations like this…I know this situation is all to familiar to me. I think by this time you have figured out that Taylor obviously has feelings for you. I know it is really hard to know what is right, your head or your heart… either way someone gets hurt. Always think is it worth it?!?! I was that girl…her feelings are real, so don’t play with them. anyway Good Luck, whatever you choose.:)
April 2nd, 2008 at 12:49 am
Ryan I am a mother that has been watching your show since it started. I was very impressed how you treated your family and friends. It gave me a good feeling that there are still some good guys out there, but what you said on your show April 1st astonished me. How could you just drop Taylor like that? She has been there for you through it all and because she came and was honest with you and she broke up with Casey you just say forget about her. Well that is very immature and I have lost respect for you now. You don’t find friends like her everyday. You should be ashamed of yourself for even thinking of doing that to her. I’m sure she is so hurt for what you said! You just told her you and her were friends and always will be. You need too get your thougts straight and appoligize to her! Or you have lost one viewer.
April 2nd, 2008 at 2:03 am
Ryan, 1st I hope I misheard you saying that you are going to “phase out” Taylor. Old friends are the best, be it girl or boy.
2nd, Have you ever seen the Disney version of “Annie” with Kathy Bates? There is a very rich man in that movie that has a great quote about how he ran his business. He says, “business is business” and he never mixes it with family and friends. He says, “I love money and I love my family/friends, I just never mix them.” I am not exact on it, it has been a few years since I have seen it, but you should check it out.
What will you do when Casey once again lets you down? If you are going to have a roommate, have one that pays his own way and is absolutely sure of his roles and responsibilities. You are playing with a fire that will burn you badly and in the end you will be minus one best friend.
3rd, never ever take advice on friends and girls from “dudes”! Talk to your parents they always have your best interest at heart.
Good luck in all your business ventures. Read some biographies of people that have risen up and made it. You will always find strong, tenacious, and driven individuals. Don’t let people “free ride” they will become blood suckers that you will lose all together. Most of all remember this is “your” life, live it with all you have, no one is promised tomorrow.
April 2nd, 2008 at 6:04 am
i hope your not phasing out taylor
you can just ditch someone because something becomes complicated
think about how shed feel
especially if she does like you and shes been such a good friend to you
besides that you seem really nice
April 2nd, 2008 at 7:54 am
Im sorry but Im a bit delayed with the whole season since South Africa is still on the first season..I just got one comment to give…U LOOK GORGEOUS WITH YOUR HAIR LONG! maybe you needed a change and decided that cutting your hair would fulfill that but…Im sorry..Pleeeeez dont cut it again..its the only reason i skip my law homework to watch you… Law school is hard and you making it worse! anyway love the show! mwah
April 2nd, 2008 at 9:57 am
So, yeh break-ups suck. The world doesn’t stop turning and life moves on. You just have to hope the world doesn’t drag you along like a rag doll through the mess of everyone else’s problems. You’ve got a good hea on your shoulders. I think sometimes you get a little carried away worrying about having things to try and make you happy. i.e. a girlfriend, a house..just relax and roll with the flow. It’s not like you’re a 19 year old struggling with money to pay for school and work 3 jobs to barely make bills. You’re set, you have a big advantage and take it for what it’s worth. You have talent, and if you ask me, you should be giving the advice to casey, not always going to him for it. Your dad is truly amazing and I wish I had even the little bit of relationship (that you have with your dad)with my dad. Every little bit counts!
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:54 am
RYAN!!!
Please don’t cut Taylor out of your life! You will regret it! It seems to me that you and Taylor are actually better friends than you and Casey…but because he’s “your boy”, your loyalty lies there. She is the one who you are always going to for advice, and gives you good advice. Truth be known, you are a lot more mature than your guy friends. I know there will be a lot of drama involved, but just do the right thing, not what’s easy. Taylor needs you now, too. I’m also very worried about Casey moving in with you. I mean, he couldn’t even handle being your assistant, going to get your skateboard!! Now youre going to leave him in charge of your house? Please be careful. I mean, already by having him as your roommate, you have to change who you bring into your house. I just don’t want you to have to learn the hard way. You’re a great guy, but you are still young. You can’t always let your heart make your decisions for you. Your agent was right, “Why do you need a roommate?” He’d still be over there a lot. Just think hard about this one.
April 4th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Dude, Casey is a little kid, if he thinks that you and Taylor are dating or that you would even do that, heck you should do it anyways… Take a look back and just see how Taylor gives you that look…. Casey’s just a long for the ride with his sorry a$$……
April 4th, 2008 at 11:30 pm
i agree with the last comment somewhat. i don’t think casey’s along for ride and the $$, but he was acting like a big, big baby. he probably lost taylor for that very reason. remember what ryan’s mom said? it’s over dude and you’re to blame. as much as i hate to say this, ’cause its so damn wrong, maybe taylor was the girl for ryan after all!!
