I like to write song parodies, work on Flash, work on PhotoShop, manage and frequent web forums, play video games, really, a wide variety of things...within a small range of interests. I appreciate comedy in all of its many forms.

I like rap music the best, which is a very unpopular decision where I live. I enjoy it for its intriguing flow and chilling musical quality, but I do also really enjoy dance music, R&B, classical, and a little bit of music from all across the board, although I do tend to shy away from rock music (which, again, is a very unpopular decision where I live. Go figure. I'm just a little devil's advocate). I listen to a lot of soundtracks from video games and movies, as well. I also have a large collection of instrumental versions of songs. They come in handy as a parodist.

I have a Gameboy Pocket, PlayStation, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, and a PC that can run Oblivion (that means it kicks butt). I have emulated versions of the Super NES, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo 64, and Sega Genesis.
The Holy Bible (it's an older book, and quite a long one at that :P), um...sometimes I read the dictionary to expand my vocabulary...I don't really read as much as I should...Ah, we've read Lord of the Flies, Tale of Two Cities, and Macbeth in English and, I'll tell you, they're some of the best books I've ever read.

Heroes
Jesus and "Weird Al" Yankovic are my heroes. I have such undying respect for Jesus and everything He did, I can't wait until I can finally meet Him and His papa. Weird Al really made me who I am today. He was the one who really molded my sense of humor into what it is now, he helped craft my attitude towards things, and anyone who knows me can definitely tell you that Al has certainly affected the way I talk and act in everyday life. Just to list off a few more: Steve Oedekerk (the most creative mind in comedy), Joel Hodgson (brilliant mind and very funny guy), Leslie Nielsen (king of Deadpan), Mike Nelson (wildly funny -- I love what he does), Kevin Murphy (ahh! The voice!), Jim Carrey (can pull off any role...ever), Andy Kaufman (the ultimate prankster and anti-humor God), Wayne Brady (talent and humor, but underappreciated), Ryan Stiles (very goofy, but really funny), Colin Mochrie (quiet and self-mocking and absolutely hilarious), Rodney Dangerfield (what else needs to be said? The King), Mitch Hedberg (the man had jokes for every occasion), and Sean Connery (the greatest non-comedic actor to ever live). I enjoy the comedy of Dane Cook, as well, but I don't see him as the type of person I want to be like.
Hey there! I'm Ryan. I'd like to tell you how normal I am, because if you tell someone something enough, it'll become true. What is there to say about myself? Actually, I should be more specific. What is there to say about myself that will make you actually want to talk to me again in the future? I'm a high school student, I love Jesus, and I don't wrestle crocodiles. I think that pretty much sums up the person I've made of myself over the years that I've been blessed with on this planet. I hope to run into pleasent figures in the future which may or may not be you. While you're here, check out my blog -- it's full of the novel satire that can only be achieved by poking fun at the mind-numbingly cliche MySpace "quizzes" people feel obliged to fill out. I do the world a favor and keep them out of the bulletins, you do me a favor and enjoy my sarcastic comedy. Take care and God bless.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet "Weird Al" Yankovic...again. He's my hero. Yes, I already met him once, but it'd still be great to meet him again. I'd like to meet Jesus, but not too soon...because...that'd mean I'd be...dead...um, I'd like to meet Steve Oedekerk. He's a really funny guy. Oh, and Joel Hodgson, Mike Nelson, Trace Beaulieu, Kevin Murphy, Bill Corbett, and Mary Jo Phel.

It appears that you have moved your base of operations to Facebook. I shall cover all of the bases since my last comment though. Happy Groundhog's Day, Lunar New Year, Valentine's Day (Day-before-candy-goes-on-sale according to you), President's Day, Leap Year Day, St. Patrick's Day, and soon to be Easter!
