A Note from Ryan:
Ok, here's the deal, I normally don't like doing these types of "get to know me" deals. If you're at my homepage chances are, you know me in person, cuz who in their right mind would just come and check this place out? Please don't answer that, it just might crush me. Well if you don't know me then I guess this page is quick peak into me and my so called life. Anyway, another reason I have a homepage is cuz well, I guess I have too much time on my hands, which is ALWAYS a bad thing, especially when you're in my position, so close yet so far away from graduating and entering the horror which is the REAL WORLD.

Sports:
See the thing is in all honesty, me and sports aren't
that great friends. It probably has to just as much to do with me
being lazy as me being a total clutz when it comes to any kind of physical
activity. But here are some of the things that at one point in my
life I have tried or are continuing to try doing:
Basketball, Volleyball, Rollerblading, Snowboarding,
, DanceDance Revolution (gawd I'm a dork), I won't even get into my attempts
at BBoying (brr), and the list goes on

you could say that I'm into a lot of everything; indie-pop, jazz, hip-hop,
alternative(even though I really am starting to hate the word)

I'm also known to some of my friends as something of a Karaoke(?) fiend, which doesn't necessarily equate to being able to sing good. I also play guitar once in a while my current toy being a Fender Squire Telecaster it's off-white and I close my eyes and pretend I'm David Gavurin., and had this really cool drum machine called the SR-16 which rocked until I broke it. Every now and then I play in this band that used to be called Framing Youth, then became Frame,then well I dont even know what it is. Hey look at this way..we wanted to call our selves Seven Mary Six LOL.
