Someday you will die somehow and something's gonna steal your carbon

About Me

I'm Ryan. I go to the University of Wisconsin, I'm majoring in microbiology but I have no idea what I'm doing after I get my degree.

My Interests

I really love music. It's probably the only thing I've been relatively good at. I started cycling and found out I'm alright at that too. I really like fixed gear bikes and alley cat racing.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

At the Drive-In, The Mars Volta, Tokyo Police Club, Todd Deatherage, Low Flying Owls, Broken Social Scene, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jens Lekman, Tapes 'n' Tapes, The Mountain Goats, Spoon, RJD2, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Akron/Family, Built to Spill, Working for a Nuclear Free City, Daft Punk, David Bowie, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, (insert numerous classic rock bands here), Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, basically my taste in music is borderline hipster at times. Lately I've been digging some hip hop and some electronica.
