"hello! my name is ryland but most everybody calls me ry. i'm the twenty one year old singer for we dance with monsters. my birthdays on january fourteenth, so it won't be long before i'm twenty two. i have a tendency of being over protective and talkative, but that doesn't matter!

one thing you should know about me is that i try to always put other people before myself. i know, i'm important and have important needs too, but i don't feel like my job in life is to please myself. i know that there are people who need more help and love than i do, so i try to give more than i get. i do a lot of community service, and i love working with foster kids and stuff. i know how much i have and i'm thankful, so why not give that back out to someone who never did? it helps me feel better and much more thankful for my own life, and for all the things that god has graced me with.

i'm also kind of an optimist. i don't really care about what someone's 'rep' is. i try to find out for myself what people are like. a lot of times, people lie because they're mad, upset, or just flat out aren't nice people. i try to make the best out of the situations i'm in, and try to find a bright side in everything. life isn't going to be fun if you can't make it, right? i look past all the bad things and always find it in my heart to forgive people, no matter what they've done to me, though i never forget, and i never judge a book by its cover.

i've come to realize that i truly want to do something great with my life. i want to go out and better the world, either by doing something that works with children or the environment. i don't care how much money i make or how much school i have to do to get there, but i want to do it, and i want to make a difference, whether that's in one persons life or in many peoples lives. that is my biggest goal and ambition. to make a difference and to make the world a better place for at least one person besides myself.

one of my faults would probably be that i talk too much. i'm not quiet, really. don't get me wrong, i love listening to other people, but if nobody is talking, i wouldn't even hesitate to start talking and trying to make friends and conversation. i hate when there are those awkward quiet moments, so i try to fill them with dialogue, whether it's by talking to one specific person or talking to a group. i've been told that because of this simple action i make a good leader, because i can take charge of something and make it easy for group participation.

i know it doesn't seem like something that would come from me, but when i get really upset or mad, i have a big problem with cursing, hitting, screaming, and just being mean. sure, it takes a lot to truly upset me, but when it happens, it's bad, and you should probably stay out of my way. an easy way to get me angry is by being mean to my friends and loved ones, or doing something to me when you know it's going to cause me emotional stress, or sometimes even cry. i'm not a happy camper all of the time, and when i'm not, i go through rapid mood changes.

growing up, i lived with my dad.. and only my dad, not that that's a bad thing or anything. my mom left us when i was eleven, and it was a good thing... in a sense.. together, my dad and i took care of things. he was working, i was doing my school work, etc. i had a good sense of what i wanted to do, and all that stuff but i didn't exactly know how. then, in freshman year, it just sort of hit me. music, music helps just about everyone (if you like it, that is) and so that was when i decided i wanted to be a musician. i didn't know how to go about doing that, but i worked at it until it all sort of fit together.

i had a friend that was looking to start a band, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity. so we got together just about every day after school and work, and successfully made a band that slowly worked its way into fame. we started touring and soon enough, announced our spot on the IM A ZOMBIE tour, which, turned out to be a great idea. the publicity and stuff only made the band better. as of right now, we're playing home shows and trying to come out with a new album to win the headlining spot on the next big tour."
