About Me

Ryan: SWM. I'm pretty hip if I do say so myself. I must say that the state-wide smoking ban is one of the greatest ideas ever. I buy a lot of gas, but I think it's worth it as I love to drive. I don't understand parties, but maybe I just go to the wrong ones. I dig: Being a musician - my iPod Nano - Verizon Wireless - food, drink and all other forms of nourishment - staying up too late - slumber - sweets - my 1999 Mustang - Mountain Dew - the females - Poker - pearl-button shirts - my glasses - when girls wear skirts and boots - the sound of high heels - pizza any day of the week - bargains and clearance racks - cleaning my room once every other month - Duluth, MN - my LG VX8360 - my two sets of Ludwig Vistalites - my older brother and his conversational skill in the wee hours of the morning - getting decent grades without trying that hard - small classes - girls with accents - curves - video games - making out - Twizzlers Strawberry Twists - Family Guy - rock and roll - sales - meeting hip humans - philosophy classes taught by Russ Stewart - Lake Superior even if it is cold - imports - Steak Escape - Mrs. Fields - Arby's - Erb's & Gerb's - Bixby's - Ground Round and Pizza Luce on Tuesdays - keeping all my change so I can cash it in twice a year - my couch - sweatshirts when it's cold - white tees when it's hot - not using my air conditioning - receiving text messages - autumn - etc. I also dig the band(s) I play drums in. I don't play regularly much anymore. I now play in Giljunko more often then my now-defunct group The Hotel Coral Essex. Playing in the bands that I've played with have brought about some pretty rad opportunities: playing drums with Al Sparhawk, singing onstage with Cars & Trucks and opening for Cloud Cult. You can check out The [now mostly defunct] HCE here:I don't dig: The way that the human race acts most of the time - bad drivers - my teeth (both the real and fake ones) - racists & rednecks - hangovers - not making much money - hunger - Bud Light - spiders - waking up and going to bed - getting less than 20 MPG - cavities - having bad breath - watching pocket aces get cracked - not showering - dirty socks - poor reception - below zero temperatures - having hair too long to do anything with - other things I encounter

My Interests

Anyone or everyone, whichever happens first. I'd also like to meet people who play and enjoy music that I also enjoy. These guys:

The Ends of Things
