: About Me

Hi, there. My name's Ross. Up until October 2007 I've been a resident of the province of Alberta. Pretty normal childhood, depending on who you talk to, I suppose.
The point is I've had a good life and decided to move out west to BC to pursue the dream of one day being on the Big Screen. It's been a long hard road and worth every step.

Karmically speaking, I always felt good about my decision to go after my dream. Astonishingly since then I have come across people from my past whom I haven't seen in years, and whom I realized just how much I missed when I saw them again. I've been rekindling some fine friendships over the past few months. Life's been a good thing, and to think...it's only going to get better.

I'm a small town boy in upbringing and am quite comfortable in more rural settings. My preference is the excitement of a city. I need to be in the action, feel the pulse. It's where I belong.

My hobbies include music, art (I work mostly in pencil and carcoals), fitness and, of course, writing. Finding Helium has been a wonderful release for me. I hope to meet more of you writers out there and hear your great ideas and stories.

Who among us does not want the best of life? Who does not desire an environment for the self that focuses on a desire to learn and grow as humans, unfettered by the worries of time and financial constraints? Who would not want to experience this magnificent world surrounding us? Whom that may read these words does not aspire to be great, beautiful and loving to the highest possible level of achievement the individual can attain? The answer is the same to all these questions. The answer is no-one. I find that as I go through this life and read of the successes of others, I somehow gain that...
