So I made a FB post today about my new Starbucks name (see photo below) and this guy says “Oh you support genocide by drinking Starbucks.” And I was so taken aback that I was like gosh I hate you Facebook. You’ve changed. People use to be more fun when it came to commenting on posts with responses like “Hey Ryan, that’s really funny how they put ‘The Situation’ on your Starbucks cup instead of your real name!” And “You are so funny, Ryan, you should be a comedian!”

What if I posted a picture of a cat and then someone writes a nasty comment about me posting photos of cats is like supporting child labor in Indonesia? What if I posted a photo of my dinner and someone writes a nasty comment about how eating pho contributes to global warming? I am just frustrated with how Facebook has become nowadays. Goodbye to posting anything on Facebook!!

Still spending the week in Southern California with my family. I can’t believe it’s so warm and sunny. It’s a nice break from the gloom and cold of San Francisco.

I’m so excited to head back home to Southern California for the holidays! It’s my favorite time of the year (except the cold part).

I haven’t really announced it yet, but I am beyond THRILLED to be a part of the Charlotte Russe team. No, not as a photographer as everyone has assumed but in marketing.

Counting my blessings. This is a sweet ending to a bitter year for me.

…Hustle.

Pardon the dust. I’ve been so busy with New York Fashion Week for ASTONISH that I haven’t had time to update my personal blog.

What more can you ask for?
