boredom is the root of all evil (soren kierkegaard)

About Me


"As I am, so I see." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Always considered writing my duty on earth." - Jack Kerouac
Awesome quote from my buddy Pat Menard-
"Trust, though a bastion of strength, is also the most fragile of virtues; taking ages to build, it can crumble in an instant."
My name is Ryan.
I am good-looking, charming, funny, suave and debonair (and humble!)
I'm a very multi-layered person and my interests are all over the place.
I am a Christian.
I like meeting interesting people.
I love finding beauty, truth and humor in all aspects of life.
I'm intelligent and very complex; yet I am simple and easy going as well.
I have a constant positive outlook on life.
I am into self-development and improvement.
I am into Philosophy and Theology.
I write novels, screenplays, poetry. I am into making films and documentaries.
I am a budding entrepreneur.
I love talking to girls, making fun of them, and laughing with them.
I am a sucker for good basketball, football, racquetball and soccer.
Health and excerise are becoming central to my life. Eating well, running, lifting weights, sports.
I am a conservative Independent. On most issues I am conservative, on some issues I am liberal.
I think most people are blinded by partisan ideas, that the truths of most (not all) things are usually more toward the middle, not the "far left" or "far right."
All intelligent people know that Johnny Cash rules!
I love traveling to new places. I love nature.
I love to laugh, be spontaneous, and enjoy every little moment of life.
My goofy self!

Rest In Peace, Father.
