Rossness: The Phoenix!

If Only You Knew...

About Me

Hey! My name is Ross, I'm 22, and I grew up in Moreno Valley/Riverside, California for most of my life. I moved here to Shreveport for school and other family reasons and am trying to experience something different.When it comes to things I like to do, I'm really interested in anything that can involve people. Having friends over, playing multi-player games, having a game night, bowling, pool, poker, watching/playing sports, watching comedy shows/skits, going to the movies, swimming... or just sitting around listening to music! I'm a big sports nut and always check the news.I work at Starbucks. It's relaxing and I enjoy making people smile. So smile dammit! =)Although I love groups of people, I prefer one-on-one conversation or small groups when getting to know people. That way everyone is able to converse and learn about one another without leaving anyone out.Most of my friends are on the other side of the country and they were all I had, literally. They ARE my family. My friends are my life, and if you're in the circle, feel blessed as I will be there and defend you forever. I'm starting to get to know some great people down here and hope to meet many, many more.I prefer to describe myself as an overly caring guy, very laid back, but with an edge. Like... a nice guy with an attitude. I don't know how else to explain me. I will do anything I can for my friends. I look out for them and think in their best interest always. I'm very honest, sometimes blunt if need be and very upfront with how I feel about something, especially my feelings. I'm usually looked to for an opinion as I don't bullshit people. I'm very opinionated and like having discussions with people who have differing opinions so I can learn their outlook on things and somehow apply it to my life. Keeping an open-mind is key. I also try to bring the best out of people, as well as myself. I'm also very critical of myself and am always trying to become an overall better person, learning from others' mistakes as well as my own.I like to make everyone around me laugh, whether it requires me acting like a fool, doing really stupid things, or saying something random and off the wall. I am VERY sarcastic and I DON'T TAKE NO SHIT! -_0[LOVEMYFLASH][/LOVEMYFLASH]

Lifes too short.

I've been going about things all wrong.  I let my confidence get obliterated by stupid people and stupid situations.  I let all my strength and energy fade by using it on being upset and unc...

Quiet Contemplation...

Over the past week I've learned a lot about myself and others.  I've learned there are certain people who live lies in order to stay in a comfort zone, who hold themselves back and fear change.&n...
