About Me

I'm Ryan and I don't like most people until I meet them. I frequently have to trim my nose hair. I get nervous and fart a lot when I like a girl. I hate being over 30 because all the fun stopped before I was ready and I'm still having a hard time accepting it. It seems like just yesterday I was going a million miles an hour every night and killing every drink and joint in sight. But, things are going to change again soon and you can either come along for the ride or be left behind choking on my dust. "Fools speak when they have to say something. Wise men speak when they have something to say." With all the crap I've experienced and as more and more of my expectations of this life have been destroyed by placing my happiness in the hands of un-trustworthy people and praying for deliverance by some benevolent illusion in the sky, I'm beginning to think that I might be subscribing to the doctrines of the Nihilist philosophy. What is Nihilism, you ask? Well, in boring everyday terms, Nihilism is a "bullshit eliminator". It's the belief that the external world is more important and real than the internal and that "good" and "bad" morals (as defined by the illusion of religion) don't exist and are both parts of reality and serve society as a whole and are both necessary to the "meta-good", accepting the good and bad together as equal parts of the evolution of society and humankind. Instead of throwing your spare change at that homeless guy tomorrow, help him find a job and shelter. If he doesn't want to work and improve his plight, then he is willing to accept his fate. I'm studying Automotive Tech. at a little community college here in podunk Longview, WA. I'm not even totally sure that I want to wrench on cars for a living. I just decided to bite the bullet and register to attend community college to buy some time to figure out what I want to do with my life because I felt I was at the end of my rope. Problem is, I'm still just as confused as I was when I started. I keep swaying to and away from trying to get hired to work on the railroad. It's not that I'm a "foamer"(a person who has a train fetish), but I'm more attracted to the starting salary of $50,000 per year and the opportunity to travel.
People I love: My friends and family.
People I hate: Everybody else.

I'd like to meet:

A girl who is willing to drag me out of my shell and learn who I really am.

Music:

Metal is the sunlight to my photosythesis. I have nothing to live for and I like it that way. Many artists will be presented to you as "new","unique" or even "brutal," but this has no bearing on the underlying quality of the music. Similarly, neither does production; if the music is well-composed, using harmony and melody and rhythm and structure well, it should be excellent music if played on a single acoustic guitar, a Casio keyboard, or as presented by the band on their label-financed, production-heavy debut. Stuff that "sounds good" often is insubstantial, but has excellent production and an enigmatic image, but over time it fails to reward in the way that true art does: by creating a poetry of life that enlightens and compels. It may not even hold up to musical scrutiny when it is pointed out that behind the flutes and sirens and wailing guitars and crooning divas, the song is essentially a variation on a well-known and tedious ballad form or blues form. Hype and production are excellent ways to get people to buy a zero-value product, that is, a repetition of past successes, while getting them to convince themselves that they have found something new, enlightening, and meaningful. You should look past whether it "sounds good" or "feels right" or you like the image or if it makes you feel like you're part of some kind of revolution in behavior, and analyze the music; if it does not stand out from the usual patterns enough to be expressing something not new or unique, but particular to its ideas, and demonstrative of those ideas, it's hype and not reality. It's not art. We can play word games here, too, but if you value your time and are not brick-stupid, you can see why it's important to find the real art.
rap? q -.-
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
