About Me

Por favore, mi chiamate RYAN, cuz I'm hella rad. I'm kind of a big deal. I love the Oakland Raiders and The Beatles are the greatest band of all time. I made a trip to Liverpool, England just to see their houses. And you know what, it was worth every penny. I am going to CSU, Chico right now, but I grew up in Lake Tahoe. I run and I don’t know why. I wear my stunna glasses at night and I am the SBCC badminton champion. Badminton and horseshoes are two things I cannot be fucked with, I mean I piss excellence. I love beer, but not the cheap crap. I’m talking Guinness and Newcastle. People say I'm weird, and I think I have insomnia and ADD. I have tried cow tongue, cheek, lip and brain, escargot (snails), frog legs, intestine and zebra. They were all delicious, well, except the tripe (intestine). I'm a carnivore and I hate people who are intolerant of other people's cultures. I just got back from living in Viterbo, Italy for the past 5 months where I got to witness what a country without George W. Bush is like. I learned a lot about myself while backpacking through 18 European countries and learned a lot in general. Here’s one thing I learned; camping in the Alps during a storm without a tent, is not the smartest idea. I trust everyone, but I don't trust the devil inside of them. Don't you think it’s just a little bit strange that Ronald Reagan had an operation on his asshole, and George Bush had an operation on his little finger? What are these two men trying to tell us? My favorite drink is strawberry milk and my favorite foods are pasta, pizza, zebra ribs and hamburgers. I don't like Asian tour groups and I absolutely hate onions. I can't blow bubbles with gum, but I can roll my stomach, solve a Rubik's cube in under 2 minutes, speak Italian and run really really fast. I would consider myself to be random, but that’s better than being predictable. I am a kinesiology major and do not eat fast food. From living in Italy I realized I love wine, meeting new people, olive oil, dancing at discos, tomatoes, cheese, soccer, pasta and pizza. Ok, so I already knew I loved pasta and pizza. Also from living in Italy I realized I don’t need a big house, 3 cars and a 65 inch TV to be happy. Instead, I want to spend my money on traveling and seeing the world. There is so much to see, why doesn’t everyone venture out to see and do something different? You haven’t lived until you do, and your life is a waste if you never do. You know what they say, if wishes were pigs, than bacon would always be on sale. I work as a cook at a pretty sweet restaurant where I control all the food that goes out to the customers, work with my best friend and eat and drink as much as I want for free. Ryan and Garrett like tall cans. It is like Goldie Locks and the three bears. 12oz cans are too small, but 40oz are too big. Tall cans are just perfect. I would much rather be in Europe, especially Italy. They do things differently there, and in my opinion better. I’ve got a couple good friends but not a girlfriend, probably because I always puss out when I like a girl and never seize the moment (or the girl). I have tried absinthe, but I never saw a green fairy. Due to the fact it is illegal here in America, I stick to whiskey when it comes to hard liquor. I will try anything once, as long as it doesn’t involve sex with another man. Or an animal. I have a very sarcastic and spontaneous sense of humor. I’m like a box of chocolate, you never know what you’re gonna get. I think that is all for now. Chances are if you are reading this I already know you anyway. Welp, see ya later.
