About Me

My name is Ryan, but most just call me Ry.

I'm a musician, and it gets me in to a lot of trouble.

But I adore music in every way. From the melody to the space between notes.

Nothing is as true to life as music with the only exception being a romantic-comedy starring John Cusack.

I love Allisha Delmar and the sight of Philadelphia's crooked skyline through a cracked windshield.

It makes the time spent in the Schuylkill Expressway's disgusting traffic worth while.

I hate most kinds of cheese, and people don't like this about me.

My friends are like family, and Applebee's is our home.

At the moment, I'm one half of the band City Line, and if you're interested, we're looking for musicians. Holla.
