Hi. I’m Ray. I’m a 24 year old dude currently living in Grand Rapids, MI. I enjoy designing things, developing websites, growing beards, and a whole bunch more. I’m huge into music, art, photography, and food. I’m always looking to learn new things, and my hunger for knowledge is never fully satisfied. HOWEVER, none of that matters here. This blog is an outlet for all of the stupid, adolescent things that make me laugh. It’s totally unrelated to my profession, and it’s totally boring, too. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.Tumblr (3.0; @bitmanic)http://bitmanic.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7d5f9dbc25d6527b548cf3067ef784fe/tumblr_mmwavwl8kT1qzd1a4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>at 6th Street Bridge Park</p>http://bitmanic.tumblr.com/post/50577744533http://bitmanic.tumblr.com/post/50577744533Thu, 16 May 2013 10:28:44 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/816d356eb9cefa3ef310a4644723eb70/tumblr_mmvmxbuu5Q1qzd1a4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pushing through the night with lungs and soul as open as can be.</p>http://bitmanic.tumblr.com/post/50560500583http://bitmanic.tumblr.com/post/50560500583Thu, 16 May 2013 01:51:10 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/43be9cf6b70b55f7d44864c9b1acc983/tumblr_mmumn1T2hT1qzd1a4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Today, somebody told me I looked like I was going on vacation.
