Well i guess i would like to start off with a big THANKS! for nominating me for MOTW My name is Ryan and I'm 23 years old. I have been frogging for almost 9 months now. I have never been that good at writing stories, papers, etc so bare with me :P Most of my time is taken up by frogs and work. I detail cars for a living. Other than frogs, my favorite hobbies are surfing, softball, cars and video games. I grew up playing Diablo, WoW, Starcraft, etc. Now that i have frogs I rarely play anymore. Starting at a young age (roughly 16) I started doing a lot of partying, smoking, etc that landed me in some trouble. One thing led to another and I ended up developing a habit I could not kick. I now have 18 months away from any illegal substances as I must say it feels GREAT! Sorry if that was a little too personal but it is a big part of my life. If it were not for frogs, I wouldnt know what to do with myself. It is hard for me to find enjoyment and excitment in "normal" life situations. With frogs, its something new and exciting every day. I will leave the story of my past at that. if you have any questions or would like more detail, feel free to PM me. I am very open with my past and it helps to talk about those things.
My favorite colors are lime green and orange. I grew up liking orange probably for the sole reason of no one else liking it. Then it grew on me lol. I love working on cars and racing cars. My last race car was a 514 horsepower Honda civic. The most exciting moment of my life was running 11.03 seconds on a quarter mile track. It is very exhilerating. I try to surf as much as possible, but virginia has no waves :P We get an occassional Northeast swell or hurricane though. I played the saxaphone from 6th to 9th grade. I was very good at it and even went to all district but being young and careless, I quit. I would love to pick it back up again one day down the road. I LOVE music. Tool, A Perfect Circle, Deftones, Chevelle, and Incubus are my top 5 favorite bands. But I listen to all types of music. My favorite brand of chips are Herr's Texas Pete. If you see them in the stores, I suggest you try them. LOL. I start my first softball game this Tuesday. Im very excited. Its coed slowpitch and i play with my girlfriend. We both just got matching black and lime green gloves I then bought some lime green lace to re-lace the glove so I need to hurry and get that done.
Anyways, thank you everyone for reading. You froggers are an amazing community.
