We have to start somewhere I suppose

I suppose that its better to get an understanding of who I am and why I made this than to just randomly stumble across here and be confused as to what the hell you're reading.

The name's Ryan. Folks in this town (well, most of em) call me Ryhan. My friend Eric was the one who devised the nickname for me, and its stuck since.

I'm 22, I'm originally from the MD/DC area (specifically Silver Spring) and I moved to this little town in September 2005 with very little background about it other than my mother's b/f at the time had moved here, and she was coincidentally retiring from her job that year. If your only two options at the moment are to stay up north with your nagging and pushy father and stepmother or to go with your understanding, cool mother, well you'd see why it wasn't even hard to choose the latter.

At the present moment, I'm unfortunately unemployed. I had to quit my last job about 3 weeks ago due to a managerial change which would have brought about my termination due to no particular reason. Not kidding. I guess with most new managers these days, at least in retail, they feel its easier to try and start fresh and mold the store into something THEY want, rather than try and work with the current staff to make the store even better. Oh well.

For my free time, I do photography at shows, I write little mini-reviews for my Facebook page, and assorted other media-related tasks. Unfortunately, with the lack of a job right now, the number of that which I review or attend may drop considerably.

So why did I create this blog? Honestly, I'm not 100% sure as to why I did. I guess I just needed a more viable means of ranting and speaking my mind and lord knows you can't seem to do that anymore on certain other sites without being critiqued by dickless little scenesters who don't have a full understanding of life yet, or even much of an identity themselves.

Plus its cooler to do movie reviews on blogs anyway. :P


So I guess thats an intro if I ever had to give one. If you're looking for more details, talk to me in person. I'll try to update this as soon as I can with actual rantings/opinions like most blogs should be filled with. But for now, sleeeeeep.
