About Me

Hi i'm Ryan.I've been told I have an unique perspective.Perhaps it's the life i've lived. From what can only be called a "misguided" career choice in my younger days, to successful soldier, to writer and aspiring professor, i've probably been there and done that.I often remind others of some long lost friend or relative.I love sports, music, working out, writing, nightlife, conversation, and driving alone with my thoughts.I have an infectious energy, and rarely hesitate to offer my advice or opinion.I tend to succeed at everything I do, yet have blown more opportunities than you've probably ever had.I enjoy my life, even when times are hard. The eternal optimist.Welcome to my humble home. It's been nice meeting you.

Foolish Notions

Foolish Notions Assumption of victory does, Little to assuage guilt. It does confuse; Like blood spilt on fields, Of gold and rust and amber hues. What we need is seldom what we want, Or choose...
