Ryan Is A Robot

And also maybe some of those cool, crafty music gifs with the hip looking, slightly-punk dudes screaming anxiety-riddled lines about love and life. And stuff about luchadores. And pugs.

My band Forever Strong just released a song inspired by the JD Salinger classic The Catcher In The Rye. If you get a second please listen and share the song. Let me know what you think! Check out our Facebook here.

Realistically it's just another cycle of days. However, it's an opportunity and excuse to do something different, something better with your life. I'm looking forward to 2016. Why not? I'll be taking a week or more break from social media, besides promoting my band's shows through its respective pages. I need to focus more on real life and not a little screen. If you wanna get ahold of me, get my number from someone. Keep up with my band @foreverstrongwv on here, twitter and Facebook. It's a new year! Yes it is!

Let's begin at the beginning. We're lovers and we're losers. We're heroes and we're pioneers. We're beggars and we're choosers.

The word "organization" is a vice to me. I always fear that organization is the catalyst for routine to take over sincerity and genuine spontaneity. However, as Tozer points out, without organization, nothing would exist. Our bodies are miraculously organized. Our automobiles function because of extensive organization. God organized chaos to create the universe. There is still an unhealthy extreme to organization, just as there is to the opposite. People can die from high blood pressure just the same as they can from low blood pressure (stolen idea from Tozer). 

#NowPlaying Navy Blue by The Story So Far

We may be in Indianapolis but our hearts belong in West Virginia. @jonahmarcum and I rocking WV (my shirt says West Virginia Rock & Roll)

"I’ll leave this all behind for you when I’m gone You grew from a seed Forever strong as a pine tree Always an evergreen" How much do I love @KnucklePuckIL? Regram from @christos_tattoos, thanks for the incredible work! #EverythingIsCopacetic #ForeverStrong #WildZeroStudios

#NowPlaying Young Drunk by The Smith Street Band, been into this band a lot lately.

The lyrics. The energy. The jam. We dream in color, but see in black and white.

In honor of a) seeing Knuckle Puck tomorrow with him and the rest of the crew, and b) our show this Sunday in Pittsburgh, #TBT goes to a couple years ago at some Young Life event with @jonahmarcum.
