About

hey.
i'm ryan. i write songs and then play them for people.
sometimes, i play other people's songs, too.
sometimes, i play songs for myself.
sometimes, i disappoint everyone around me.

if i do my job right, i win talent shows, and all the ladies want to fornicate with me.
if i don't, i send the girls running from the room, crying.
let's be friends?
