About Riley

I'm Riley. One could say that I started this website. It's a continuation of the Ithacan't, a publication created during a semester in Los Angeles to cure boredom and make an effort to entertain students living in Burbank. Needless to say, I like to write, as well as be awesome. But there's more to me than just that. I like to run; Sometimes in races, but oftentimes just in the trails of Ithaca. On Sundays I might be hungover, because on Saturday night... I like to drink beer; Natty, especially. Otherwise I'm going to spend money on a craftier beer. Or a bottle of Scotch - which isn't produced in... America; a place I like to respect and honor. Occasionally, I write. But there's no photographic evidence of that, so just take my word for it. Enjoy!
