In The Beginning...

...I believed that blogging was a diary and an annoying tool that people used to express their thoughts and feelings. After years of social media networking and persuasion, I find myself here, blogging to you today.

I grew up in the suburbs, never really liking Minneapolis or understanding why I hated it other than Saint Paul is what I knew and what I loved. Part of the dislike for Mpls could have been my attendance at Fort Snelling Academy where I learned to love Saint Paul, also I was an introvert and Minneapolis is the fun and exciting city.

Since those days, I have been across the country, lived in another state, yet I find myself back in Minnesota. I was flabbergasted when I found Lake Calhoun in the heart of Uptown and navigating 394 was alien to me as well. Now as a resident of Mpls for a couple years, I feel like I can share the love and compassion that I have received and grown to know while being here. I want to start the love campaign for Minneapolis and share it with the world.

Who am I? I am Ryan, a 24 year old that is passionate about work, life, and all those in my life. I strive to make a positive difference in my daily life and my community, so this is one way I feel that I can make a difference in my community. You may not always like what I have to say or what I think, but bare with me, as I am not trying to through distaste, but a new view, a new way, a new spout of love, inspiration and communication.

Welcome to my ride as I share through this blog, twitter and facebook; I look forward to hosting you through the remainder of our journey. Share anything you like, send me places, food, entertainment, and anything else that you would like me to explore. I will do the same, I promise.
