Catastrophe in progress.

About Me


My name is Michael Ryan. I'm from DC, but i've been all over lately (Chicago, Miami, Central Illinois), but i'm finally going back to the homeland.
AOL: XXPROMETHEUS
MSN: [email protected]
YAHOO: EXPLETIVESQ I'm a writer, a drinker, a poet, a lover, a singer, an artist, a fighter, an asshole, a jerk sometimes, sorry all the time, i mean everything i say even if it seems rude, but who is going to tell you when you suck? me that's who. I'm irish, motherfucker, what you gonna do about that?
i'm a big family guy. being irish the most important thing to me is family. i don't understand how some people can just not talk to their parents or siblings or how parents or siblings can turn their backs on you in your times of need. my family has always been there for me and i'll always be there for them, that is how it should be.
i'm a hopeless romantic, which sucks because no one seems to want that anymore.
btw, if i don't know you don't add me, this is either in person or from the forums that i frequent, if you aren't from either of those places then don't add me. my profile is open to the public and if you really want to know what is going on in my life then just add me to favorites. all of my blogs, stories, poems etc will be open for anyone to look at, but i really don't want a bunch of people on my friends' list that i don't know.
