What's up Xers?  I'm Ryan Black.  Grew up in a poodunk town called Manteno about an hour south of Chicago.  My goal in life through my H.S. years was to tour in my metal band with Ozzfest.  Instead, I decided to go to ISU and graduated in 4 years with a Degree in Mass Communications and also aquired a Math Minor.  I get phone calls people saying things like "I have kids, how could you say something like that?"  My response is, "I could be teaching your kids!" My favorite bands are The Deftones, Incubus, Alice In Chains, and Slipknot.  Needless to say, I love to ROCK! 10 things you need to know about me! 1.  I am a creep. 2.  I have a porn addiction. 3.  Monster trucks are FACKIN AWESOME! 4.  My favorite drink is whatever is in my hand at the time! 5.  Blackhawks/White Sox/Bears/Bulls 6.  My manhood is less than average. 7.  If you don't like Family Guy, then I don't like you! 8.  I would fornicate with Megan Fox even if she had man gennys. 9.  Drugs that cause bloody diarea and possible death arent worth taking! 10.  I like my women like I like my wine... FULL OF LIQUOR! In conclusion (inspirational moment), if you aren't chasing your dreams every minute of the day, you are wasting your time!  Something I learned (from a baby) is this... "Whether you can, or you can't... YOU'RE RIGHT!"  That baby was Stewie Griffin!

As Chen read that Anthony had been acquitted of first degree murder and aggravated child abuse, the audience cried out in disbelief and Leah Remini threatened to walk off the show in frustration.
