Introduction and Initial Rant

Hi, so I'm new to this whole Blogging thing but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. As of late I find myself with a lack of people to talk to and a even more lack of things to do. So I figured I could introduce myself to all of you... the imaginary people on the internet. Deep inside the shy kid I was in Junior High is saying "Oh Boy! I hope they like me!" and the person I am now is saying "Who cares? I don't know any of these people. They're just silent observers to my rantings." So if your all silent, then I know your imaginary.

Anyways, this would be the perfect opportunity to introduce myself. Hi!! I'm Ryan and I'll be your blogger this evening. At the moment I'm sick... I have some stupid Esophageal condition that makes me barf up greasy food, so as of late I've been pretty sick. So sick, lonely = bored... boredom = blog! Yea... so my own boredom converted me to the Blogosphere... I'm going to have to get one of those "Bomb The Blogosphere" T-Shirts from Questionable Content now. I'll tell you a little about myself really quick.

I'm 22... Sagittarius, and I get bored easily. I read almost 2-300 pages a week without typically getting a break. I'm an English Major, so that's pretty much all I do. When I was younger I was reading my Mothers Psychology and Philosophy books rather than reading most typical children's lit books. My brother taught me to read when I was 4 and I felt that it was better to read good stuff rather than childish stuff. I did read Goosebumps though. I had all of them... until Goosebumps like 99 or whatever, that book with the ugly black cat on the cover (i think)... when R.L. Stine started sucking. Just so you know I'm beginning to rant... and this is a mild one. I'm on radio and I've been known to rant for an entire hour straight about why religions of all kind are bad.

Now its not that I think religions themselves are bad. Sure, people follow the light right off the empire state buildings sometimes. And that's EXACTLY what I think is wrong with religions. People who choose to follow texts and scriptures by the book; non-translatable and non-changeable. That's a load of crap and the rest of the world knows it... at least us Atheists know it. And I don't want to hear that bull crap about evolution is fake because Darwin converted on his death bed... because he didn't. That Nun who spent his last 6 months alive trying to convert him told that story to preach "faith and understanding." It's bullshit. People need to figure the world out for themselves. You don't need religion to do it and you don't need to study science, although it's pretty highly recommended. People need to discover that the world is a place of the unimaginable and wondrous. Walt Whitman said that he was a part of the world and a part of the world he would be forever and I couldn't agree more. We all belong to the world so we need to embrace it.

I caught myself in ignorance of my own logic. I don't really practice what I preach because I've done so much with my life already. I've traveled, gone into several branches of the working environment, driven cross country, played live shows with bands, been in competitions and won, OH and I do Voices. So I guess I've practiced what I think everyone should do. Everyone should also watch all movies, including horror because if you keep your kids from watching horror at a young age they'll more sensitive to the actions and words of people than say like... ME hehe. I was raised on horror movies, Scooby Doo, Heavy Metal and Country Music. Now look at me... I'm a rockstar! Well anyways... I think that's enough of a would be rant for the night. Goodnight blog readers... if there ever are any... I know you're all imaginary :-).
