Death to cowards, traitors, and empty words

About Me

Name's Ryan. I'm not terribly good at writing an online description of myself since I believe its best to get an impression of me by meeting me in person. But alas this is myspace. Seems like its rare that people on each other's friends list actually know each other IRL these days. Buuuuut anyways, lemme give this a shot.-I'm 21. -I moved from Silver Spring, MD down to here. So yeah go ahead and ask me about Blair HS or crab cakes if you're interested. :P -I'm single. :P -I like getting messages before getting friend requests. :P -I love music. Without it, I think we'd all be pretty boring individuals. -I like movies, though finding truly great and/or unique ones is a little rare these days. -I loooove Sundrop, El Cerro Grande, Buffalo Wild Wings and Cubbies. Yeah they're all terrible for you but I can't help it. -I believe there should be more honesty in the world. Don't kiss ass in order to be "cool" or "accepted." Shit talking behind peoples' backs is pretty high school. Be yourself. There are no need to create extra faces for your life. -I think breakdowns are overrated, too common and too trite in today's music scene. The same can be said for "bree" vocals, though I think those just plain suck. -I love to talk. I can start a conversation with nearly anybody about anything.

Books:

I'm mainly interested in music books, though I'm willing to give anything a try. My main rule though, is that if you haven't grabbed me by the first 2-3 chapters, I'm putting it down.

Heroes:

My Blog

We've been climbing uphill together for three years and counting

People can't be crazy anymore + current state of metal

Well with yet another school shooting having occured, the media seems to want to point fingers at the easiest target: the music.  The college shooter in Montreal was a known user and browser of v...

Well as you can probably observe, I arrived back here safely.  The trip was amazing minus the sunburn, internet withdrawal (haha), bags being lost for the first two days, and me not getting laid....
