Ray rages.

Today we find Ray "man of action" Lam playing a game he's been waiting to play, Uncharted 3, but he does not like being disturbed.  Ray is angry and instantly puts a stop to my filming.  Today is Sunday, December 18, 2011, and Ray has some rage.  Go Raymond!

Ray watches.

Raymond Lam is a man who usually cares about his sleep, but today is a special day.  The GSL is on, the world's biggest Starcraft tournament.  A tournament where the best of the best battle on stage for glory, fame, and a ton of money.  The GSL finals was the most epic of series, a 7 game series where the Terran started off 3-0 and the Zerg tied it 3-3 only to be crushed barely in a game so close it was painful to watch, but Ray does not care about any of this.  He just wants to see the pretty pop stars from Korea dance and sing.  If only they were in Alameda, Ray could woo them like no other.  Today is Saturday, December 17, 2011, and Ray is creeping on cute girls from Korea.  Go Raymond!

Ray helps.

Raymond "man of action" Lam is a man of passion.  One of Ray's biggest passions?  Fantasy sports.  Ray is our defending champion, but that doesn't stop him from helping his lowly competitors.  Michael obviously needed help with his fantasy perspective and Ray is the perfect guru to ask.  Today is Friday, December 16, 2011, and Ray helps Michael draft his basketball team.  Go Raymond!

Ray picks up.

Today we find Raymond "man of action" Lam at the local Tapioca Express.  It may look like Ray is trying to hide from the camera, but really he sees a cute girl and he's trying to scope her out.  He practices his impeccable pick up line on his nearby friend, "Hey do you want to come over, share some boba, and play Mousehunt with me?".  The obvious answer. "Sure I would love to come over, suck on your boba and blow your horn."  Today is Thursday, December 15, 2011, and Ray is practicing his pick-up line.  Go Raymond!

Ray trains.

Today we see Raymond "man of action" Lam on his throne.  It's a treat because today we see Ray training in his seated non-live combat simulator called Spiral Knights.  Honestly it looks easy, but it requires intense mental focus to not move for days upon days.  Just thinking about the mental focus may put any normal human's mind into limbo and allow them to be Incepted by Dom Cobb, but not Ray.  Today is Wednesday, December 14, 2011, and Ray has not left his throne since Saturday.  Go Raymond!

Ray is king.

In Irvine, Raymond "man of action" Lam may be our hero, but here in Alameda, Ray is king.  In Ray's utopia, he doesn't have to leave his chair, women throw themselves at him, his sports news is read to him, and boba is delivered straight to his desk, free of charge.  Today's drink?  The white chocolate rayberry, a delicate, luscious, elegant drink that pretty much matches everything about Ray.  It's no surprise that it is named after him by his loyal subjects.  Today is Tuesday, December 13, 2011, and Ray has no idea what he's drinking.  Go Raymond!

Ray protests.

What's wrong with this photo?  Besides the fact that it's creepy and weird, we find ourselves without our hero, Raymond "man of action" Lam.  Well, Raymond is protesting all the Raycists out there.  All the people who hate on him for just being himself.  Are you a Raycist?  What's not to love?  With smooth silky moves on the basketball court, a voice sexier than sex itself, and a smolder that would make even Flynn Ryder jealous, no one should be a Raycist.  Today is Monday, December 12, 2011, and Ray is occupying his home protesting you Raycists out there.  Go Raymond!

Ray lies on Cam.

Cam Newton is the sexiest of fantasy monsters.  This season he's breaking records, the backs of defenders, and the hearts of haters.  How can anyone dislike this beast?  Raymond  "man of action" Lam decides to join in on the hate and says he likes Maurice Jones-Drew more.  I don't believe it, I can't believe it, Ray is breaking my heart and the hearts of his viewers.  Ray is just throwing a tantrum because he is disappointed in Cam, his favorite player.  Today is Sunday, December 11, 2011, and Ray just told a bold faced lie on Cam.  Go Raymond!

Ray is back.

Did you really think a little distance would stop A Ray A Day?  Raymond Lam is back in Alameda and the ladies can't seem to get enough of it.  They keep calling him left and right telling him all the right things, but Raymond Lam being the gentleman that he is, refuses to take advantage.  It's a basketball day and Ray let's no woman dictate what he does on basketball day.  Today is Saturday, December 10, 2011, and Ray is back in Alameda along with A Ray A Day. Go Raymond!

Ray says goodbye.

All good things must come to an end, my friend always said. He always seemed to repeat these sage words of wisdom  whilst being forced into the back of the police car, but I tend to focus on the positive. Like a sweet romance, or a naked jogging spree through a crowded mall during December, A Ray A Day Blog also must come to an end for this year because, alas, I no longer live with the object of all my devoted attention. But have no fear, fellow Ray-o-philes! I will resume posting when Winter Quarter begins on January 9, 2011. So take a break from spending all day reading these thoughtful posts. Go on a date! Climb a mountain! Jog naked through a crowded mall! But don't forget Raymond Lam, the Apollo of Alameda, the Sultan of Smash, the Hero of Halo. Today is Friday, December 9, 2011, and Ray will be thinking about you all December long. Go Raymond!

Ray denies a friend.

Finals are over for us students here in the Orange County, so break out the video games! It's Thursday night, and Raymond Lam's partying hard with his roommates from three years ago. Drinking, fighting, shouting, it's all here. Except they're drinking boba, fighting on Super Smash Bros., Melee, and shouting when Jason's DK beat Steven's Marth. Today is Thursday, December 8, 2011, and Ray gets a close up today (he was trying to show off his creeper stare). Go Raymond!

Ray "brushes his teeth."

C'mon, Raymond Lam. Who do you think we are? Who brushes their teeth for 10 minutes? Today is Wednesday, December 7, 2011, and Ray began his policy of silence toward the media today. Go Raymond!

Ray unleashes his pain.

I told Raymond Lam to talk about his feelings toward an unnamed member of the female sex. Unexpectedly, he began a rant that was luckily captured on video. Today is Tuesday, December 6, 2011, and without further ado, here is Ray, unleashed and unashamed. Go Raymond!

Ray explains it all.

Raymond Lam is an adventurer. He explores caves, rivers, and man-made structures all made out of little digital cubes. It's like playing Skyrim, except not as pretty. And no dragons. And no action. Minecraft doesn't really look all that interesting, to be honest. But listening to Ray excitedly describe a YouTube video about it almost persuades me to almost consider thinking about maybe giving it a try. Today is Monday, December 5, 2011, and Ray will be back in Alameda in five days. Go Raymond!

Ray does a flip.

So I meet this girl today.  You'd like her: big brown eyes, soft black-brown hair that seems to dance as the wind tousles it against her cheek, cute dimples that appear right as she begins to laugh. We locked eyes twice. The first time was by accident, but the second, the second was manufactured by me.

You know. Making sure I keep facing her direction, just in case she happens to glance over my way again. And when she does, man, I do my best Neil Patrick Harris grin and quickly glance down. After getting my milk tea, I sidle up to her table and introduce myself. What a beautiful smile. She's with friends, and they stop chatting to hear what's going on at this end of the table. I ask for her name. She smiles and answers before mumbling something else I can't hear. Voice like dark chocolate, with a hint of raspberries. And those dimples, man, they make me feel lightheaded. Before I can stop myself I blurt out, "Can I buy you boba sometime this week?" Her friends smile, and one is hiding a giggle. She-

Ray? Are you sleeping? Ugh. Today is Sunday, December 4, 2011, and Ray won't get to find out what happens if he keeps ninja sleeping like this. Go Raymond!

Ray engages in illegal cockfights.

If Michael Vick can remain famous after getting caught breeding dogs for dog-fighting, Raymond Lam shouldn't lose any fans with this exclusive video, although it would be well-deserved. In this never before-seen home video, Ray admits to enjoying these "chicken battles," going as far as to call them "f***king awesome." For shame. You can be sure that Raymond Lam, the action man, has lost at least one hardcore fan with this new revelation. This publication does not endorse the pitting of animals against each other for sport or entertainment. Today is Saturday, December 3, 2011, and for shame, Raymond, for shame. Shame Raymond!

Ray almost talks about girls.

Sorry, folks, it's almost Finals Week, and I can't put a lot of effort into these. Today is Friday, December 2, 2011, and we cut this video off early to avoid confrontations. Go Raymond!

Ray describes his shower.

Today is Thursday, December 1, 2011, and Ray was being very uncooperative today. Go Raymond!
