Ryan Smith Show

and you could have it all, my empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt.

About Me

My name is Ryan and I frickin' love your face.I'm a 24 year old aspiring everythingist. That's a word I may have made up. I dig media related things. Whatever. I would like to do a little bit of everything, including but not limited to, furthering my work in radio (both on-air and in management), writing a pilot for a sitcom, contributing voice work and audio production to any number of local Chicago sound studios, writing for a professional wrestling company, teaching, managing talent, stand up comedy, working in television, being in charge of entertainment booking for some sort of an establishment, and probably 1,000 other things.
I graduated from Western Michigan University in 2007 with a Bachelor of Arts in Film, Video & Media Studies, and Social Psychology, double major gimmick. I've lived in Roseville, Warren and Kalamazoo Michigan. I now live in Chicago and I'm attending Columbia College where I'm working on a Masters of Arts, Entertainment and Media Management.
I don't smoke or do drugs, just not my bag, baby. But you can do what you feel necessary and I'll try not to judge you. But I probably will... just a little. I like the occasional party/bar night and having a few drinks. I like sleeping for hours and hours, hugs, acting like I've got it all together, yelling at prowrestling promoters over airfare complications, finding new places to eat/drink, making security believe I'm important so they let me in to places I don't really belong, looking for things in all the wrong places, making people laugh without saying a word, talking into microphones, buying things I can’t afford..

My Interests

broadcasting, girls, the Internet, music, movies, social psychology, the professional wrestling business, sleeping, writing, girls who play guitar, girls who sing (well), coffee, American Sign Language, good friends, moping at my leisure,...Not necessarily in that order.
