Skatin = life

Im Ryan. almost 20. I am good at helping other peoples problems, but suck at my own! lol. but yea... if you have something, I am happy to help! I am a Christian... and I used to teach sunday school to first graders before my move here. I don't smoke or do any type of drug! I dont see the point! I am able to have fun and (normally) make everyone laugh without drugs! I am always just having a good time and tryin to just kinda have some fun with life:)
Life is too short, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, and forgive quickly.
Over the years, I have learned that you have to cherish each moment and live in the moments that take your breath away! Dont let little things bother you... or stupid little fights.. save your battles for the bigger things! Try not to get angry with people.... just take a step back.. look at the situation... and try to be logical and rational.
I like to skateboard mainly! That and play guitar! Those are my loves and I plan on doin them until I cant any more!
Normally, I am a Very opinionated person, but normally I can make people see my point and agree...
Example: Atheists... I really dont understand them! I accept the fact people are atheist, but no! I dont understand them! OK lets put it this way... lets say atheists are right, and there is NO type of god or anything! What did I lose by following the Bible and living a good, clean life.... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
BUT on the flip side! We say I or some other religion is right... Athiests... well your fucked! Get my point?
Now personally I am non-denominational Christian, BUT I don't think too many religions are actually WRONG! I think that they are actually the same God... just fitted to the cultures... I mean sure! Some are really outlandish... like ones that you kill urself to go to heaven or something! But for the most part, I think most religions can be considered right!
On a different note, basically, I try to show the world that skaters don't have to be punks. That you dont have to destroy things and be an asshole in order to skate! That is why places to skate are harder to come by, because stupid kids think that they are hardcore and people should move out of there way! That is NOT the case! Skating for me is more of an exit away from the real world! It helps me get through stressful times. It is good exersize. When I skate I feel like theres nothing else that can bother me.
Skateboarders have given skateboarding a bad reputation, not skateboarding! I think that its just stupid what kids do. I am not saying dont skate, by all means. Skateboarding is actually one of the most common things today. Its sad really... some schools have 9 baseball fields and 3 soccer fields and no skatepark when there are more skateboarders than any of those other sports. I think that we all should be more respectful and then we will earn respect. Together, we can make a difference.
Yea... I dunno what else to say but if you wanna know more! hit me up!
