This blog is about me, my adventures, trials, tribulations, and whatever else I deem fit. My name is Ryan. I was born in a suburb of Sacramento, CA in the mid-80s and have lived most of my life there. I come from a large family with four older brothers and one younger sister I affectionately call Satan. I attended University of California, Santa Cruz and graduated with a degree in Philosophy. After which I moved back home worked as a Network Engineer for a year and recouped from my college years: financially, mentally, socially, and helped me find purpose. Creation of this blog is at the beginning of a new adventure in my life, recently I am taking a leave of absence from my career as an engineer and will be living, working, and exploring abroad in Korea.

I’ve now been living in Korea for about 2 years now and will be branching out for further explorations in the future. Not sure where I’m going and have even less of an idea where I’ll end up. Hopefully you enjoy reading my blog…even if it’s subject is a little less than evident.

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
-Jack Londan’s Credo
