Me
My name is Ryan, I live in the great city of Rogers, MN where I am a senior at Rogers High School and a Post-Secondary student at the University of Minnesota. I am an easy-going guy and I love to have fun. I have very strong beliefs in equality and justice for all people around the world. I love talking to people and getting to know them. I love my family and friends, they are the greatest and I don't know what I would do without them. I want to live on the East Coast but I still love Minnesota, despite the weather. I chew Orbit gum and I like all sorts of music, mostly alternative and acoustic stuff, with the occasional country and rap thrown in. I play rugby, the greatest sport of all time, and I am looking to pick up lacrosse too when I go to college. I love to watch interesting movies, ones that make you think. I also love watching sports, especially hockey and baseball.

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
