ryanthelion commented on Jesus Hernandez's blog post 'A Lesson to Those Who "Like 2 Fail"'
Thanks for posting the story, i think it's these posts of local life that i enjoy the most, cuz I'm going to be away from LB for 2 years and this helps with the homesickness.
In some ways i agree with the father, shame can be a great…

i Think as a whole the amount of festivals and progressive environmental events are the things that make me always want to live in LB. Funk Fest and Zombie walk are the things that get me as excited as a kid counting down the days till…
ryanthelion commented on The Initiative's blog post 'The Debate Between Tagging vs Graffiti'
@ The Initiative, its usually the kids that have less parental control or the ones who can sneak out of the house at 3am. Not saying all but just saying that kids with less to do or are not active in other programs/ activities usually…

Haha @theinitiativeThat should be blasted everywhere, "Graff Artists are taxpayers too"
I guess you could compare the "Legality" issue to weed. Right?
Weed is illegal federally, however Long Beach has dispensaries. A…
ryanthelion commented on The Initiative's blog post 'The Debate Between Tagging vs Graffiti'
To answer the question if there is a difference and similarity, there is a broad range of people who do graffiti and paint on walls. Some people do it for themselves, to get their name up and show that they exist. Some do it to bomb the system or as…
ryanthelion commented on Jesus Hernandez's blog post 'The Long Beach Rave Scene'
It's really interesting that this thing never goes away. Raves, i got into that scene in 99 during my high school years in the Bay Area where it was huge. In retrospect cuz i used to be a raver, there are a lot of factors at work here. If I…

Sheri ' Gal Vanized' Zampelli said… - Hi ryanthelion, looks like you have a lot of experience with teaching. Do you work with any non-profit agencies who hire consultants to come in and do trainings? I'm really good at teaching Helping and Listening skills and I know how to train people to use Motivational Interviewing. There are many agencies who are moving toward this method so I was thinking I could help in that area. I'm talking to a few mental health/substance abuse agencies in town about coming in and doing a From Sabotage to Success workshop, that's the name of the book I wrote. The materials have helped a lot of students to move past self-sabotage so they could accomplish goals like finishing college, getting a new job, starting a business and leaving an abusive relationship. Keep me in mind if you hear of a group who needs something like this. All the best with your work.

- Hi Ryan, I got a chance to check out your links. Looks like really good stuff. I see you're an educator too. What do you teach and where? I'm looking for a summer gig...budget cuts took out my summer employment. I'd like to do trainings in the community. Let me know if you know of anything. I was the one in roller skates on Saturday..the only one in all pink with a flower in my hair. So if that sounds familiar, you saw me. Come say hi next time.
