'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.comThe name is Ray, my peeps like to call me an assortment of nick names: Sting-R@y,Rainman, Rat,Raysin,Yar. I was born in Philly, PA. I currently reside in Florida where I have been most of my life. Florida really blows for the most part, its really hot and nobody knows how to drive. I study at the University of Central Florida, majoring in English Literature and a Minor in creative writing. Most of my life consists of having a good time with my friends, rockin' to some quality jams, working at Sea World's Education department(which is probably the most awesome job I have ever had)and getting involved in my community. I believe life is a story and everyone has their own epic that's worth reading and that life should be lived with love and patience. For me, writing is what I do and its who I am. The paper is my canvas, creation is my therapy. I've had plenty of troubles in my life, but the most valuable lesson I have ever learned was to keep looking on the brighter side of things, it is in the times of great hardship where we are forced to look at ourselves and step up to the plate to become the most awesome person we can be. It's my goal before I die to make sure the world is full of love and awesomeness!

My Interests

I am a huge fan of film, writing IS me, it is what I was put on this earth to do. I love to travel and go on adventures being outdoors and experiencing life,and laughing as much as I can. Music is equal to my writing it inspires me to create my works. I use it as a tool. I love taking pictures and recording life's small moments. I enjoy hearing other's talk about their lives. I ALWAYS try and find a lesson in everything that I do.
