About Me

My name is Ryan McGilley and I live in Overland Park, Ks. I grew up in Leawood, Ks, but went to High School in a town named Bay Village right outside of Cleveland, Oh. I moved back to KC to go to the University of Kansas, and took my good ol time there. I studied mechanical engineering for my first three years, but then finished with a degree in Behavioral Science...... you know, like Pavlov's dogs. After I graduated I purchased my house from my Grandmother and I spend quite a bit of time working on it in my spare time. I am employed by the OEC Group, an international freight forwarder and I work as a international freight salesman........ International Man of Mystery you could say.... just not so mysterious. I have a dog named Blaik, who likes to eat my Cole Haan shoes and escape from the backyard, but I still love him for it!I really enjoy cooking, so much that I almost attended cullinary college instead of KU. I am as Irish as you can possibly get! I like to listen to my music way louder than you would like me too! I like to drive fast, real fast, I have absolutely no fear of speed! I enjoy bon-fires and throwing rocks, ice cream and pop rocks. I like to antogonize, but I like to please as well. I smile entirely way too much, but especially if it is the result of making someone else do it! I laugh too much, mainly at my own jokes... I think I am extremely clever and witty. I can stay home on the weekends and watch movies all day and evening. I enjoy cleaning, the end result is better than most activities. I am overly sensitive to a fault, but I cant change that, it makes me a passionate person. High fives are awesome! I am bringing back the high five! I like cheesburgers, pizza, and sushi but my death is buffalo wings, sugar, and caffeine. I like vodka; vodka vodka I like it alotka. I love beer, especially wierd imports, mainly Belgian ones, but I am damn happy with a Budweiser. I also like to keep my house at 67 degrees.Kind of random, but yet so am I.Anything else you want to know..............just ask, I am sure that I will answer anything without thinking, due to that fact that I have no internal monlogue.
