Skate

Lately I have been getting back into skating so my friends and I decided to go skate at Granite skatepark in Sac last Saturday. It was fun, slightly uneventful for my friends. (They didn't land too much) I also brought my camera so I took a few pictures and some people thought I was a sponsor so they would try harder tricks and fall. It was great.

Here are some photos for you guys (namely Caryn, Rachel and Curtis)

Christmas

Just a few pictures from christmas with my new camera. 

My sister's dog is a bit of a harlot.

My personal favorite quote of the month

"Secretly I think I'm a genius in a sense that other don't see when they view my exterior, rather when it's through a computer. With out the illusion of outer beauty, you may be able to see into the soul and mind of the person who stands before you and exists in front of you."

Broken cameras, ACT tests and something to be full filled

So its  been a while since I've posted a blog and not too much has happened. I hurt my hand, tweaked my wrists, bruised my knees, cut my hand up and cracked a rib all playing football. It was two hand touch to top it off which says something about my center of balance and my aerodynamic designed body. I should never play sports.

But I took the ACT today and I am nervous about my scores. Everything was kind of easy except the science. I seriously had a mental break down and cried for 5 minutes. 

Other than that I finally got my favorite film camera that has been broken for 2 years to work! But just as my excitement arrived at it's peak it breaks again! And I don't know how, everything seems fine. I think it might be something with the electronics. And my other camera freaked out the other night and made one of my lenses all cruddy and gearish and stiff. I hate it!

But on another note I have made a promise to myself to ask someone something before new years and I think I may not have a chance to ask in person but oh well. 

But MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!!! My friend came back from Idaho for Christmas break. I am supper excited to see her because during thanksgiving break I never got to see her and this time I'm sure I will see her other than at church! So I think you know who you are (mainly because you are one of the only people who keep up with my blog) and you should totally call me when ever you want because I'm intensely bored most of the day.

Dreams

In the past week i have been dreaming! Its exciting because I haven't dreamed in a year or so but my dreams aren't the ones you would think I would be excited about. Things such as suicide and injury fill my dreams. Just last night I had a dream that I slit my wrist all the way around and pulled up the skin then continued to paint with my blood on the walls of my room. I think its a little odd that I've been having such horrific dreams during such a joyous season. I guess my mind comes to a cross roads this time of year 

Other than that I had my hand smashed last night, it was pretty amazing. THANKS CARYN! :)

Words one should never speak

So I have decided to star the writing process of my EP. Have the title and no, it does not mean that there will be cursing on it. In addition to me I will have my good friend Ed playing drums. He is going to be the only other recording musician for Living With Giants. There will be about five or 6 songs on it one of which is already finished and can be heard soon at www.myspace.com/livingwithgiants

In other news I have been getting alot of pressure lately from A&Rs and just people comparing my music and how I go about music to such bands as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Death Cab For Cutie, Brand New and Cursive. 

In addition to that I'm freaking out about school and everything. I still doubt my acceptance into college though but I will try to keep you posted on all that goes on in the life amongst giants. 

Much love and care,

Ryan

My wisdom teeth are coming in

I really need to get some sleep. I also need to pass the ACT..... GAHHHH!

If I fail I'm doomed to lead a lonely life alone. I'm used to it. I can just stay up all night and write music and eventually die from lack of sunlight or something random like that. 

I really want to get into college but my doubt has risen more than ever. Oh well, if I do then I will probably be much better off but if I don't I will still be able to write and record all my music.  So I guess there are two sides to everything!!!!! (this blog is so random!)

PICKLES!

New ones

This is for Caryn because I know this will make her smile

I've.....
