Ok. About me. This is me. Like it or by all means GTFO! My name is Ryan. Everyone calls me Newman. So feel free to call me that. I live in the City of Roses: Portland, Oregon (Pdx!) I'm 6'4" (yeah, that's kinda tall) and 185 lbs. I'm kinda athletic, but not nearly as much as I would like. I am single, and it sucks. I wear my heart on my sleeve so I get hurt more often than I should. I am the nicest guy you'll ever meet (and no, there’s no such f**king thing as "your just too nice"), so if you blow it, you'll probably get another shot. But let's face it people, you shouldn't have to. I HATE fake and shallow girls. Your bullshit excuse for why your cheating, abusive insignificant other is right for you and I am wrong does NOT hold water. I have many passions in life and I'll be glad to share them with you. My faith. I love my family. My parents have been together for 26 years and they raised me right. I love my sister, my brother-in-law, and my adorable 3 year old nephew. I will love my second nephew as well, but he won’t be here until February. I absolutely love music. I have more music on my computer then most of my friends have on their I-pods....combined. I own too many CDs as well. I would love to open my own local record label. (Pdx Wrex) I go to as many concerts as I can. I have about 63 concert stubs in my possession.. But 9 times out of 10, if I wanna take a date to one of them, I get stood up. (This mainly happens if I buy their ticket in advance.) I go to a lot of punk and rawk shows. I never miss a Zebrahead show. Piercings and tats turn me on. No, really turn me on. I love to write. I'm working on a book and a screen play. Who knows where they'll go, but I hope far enough. My future career is teaching. I am an open book. Speaking of books, I read a lot of Poli-Sci books. I love to learn. Please don’t annoy me with stupidity. I love doing things outdoors depending on how the weather bends. I love a good video game. I’m a gamer. I play poker and a couple ccgs.I love a good party. I’m a licensed bartender. I have been officiating high school athletics for going on 6 years. Wanna see my paychecks? But I also love working with kids, teaching them the sports they love, and keeping them safe. There are so many more things to who I am. If there’s anything you want to know about me, drop me an add. And by all means, please add comments to my pix. They’re lonely.Oh, and I used to be very shy but I got over that. I'm still a bit shy in person, but that goes away quickly especially if we hit it off.
