As the son of public servants, a missionary father and a law enforcement mother, exploration and service were built into his foundation having travelled to over thirty countries and volunteered with homelessness causes to teen suicide prevention.

 

Ross spent his early years collecting Pilot pens, notepads, singing and interviewing himself in a tape recorder. With an acute awareness for his young age, he was eager to point out hypocrisies and character inconsistencies in children and adults through English assignments. He provoked reactions from teachers with writing that could bite, wink, and smile. Though some of his writing was provocative for a third grader and led to concerned phone calls, adults looked forward to what Ross would write or say next.

 

He gravitated to writing music lyrics and producing beats on Sonar Cakewalk to cope with isolation he felt in his childhood from feeling different. In high school, he impressed his classmates and teachers when he wrote and recorded a song about a nine-year-old girl who died from gang violence. At fifteen years old, Ross submitted the song to a songwriting competition. Competing against a sea of experienced adult songwriters, Ross was awarded the distinction of Runner Up. This validation was formative for Ross at his young age; it gave him the sense that he was on to something, and it was worth developing.

Ross wrote and submitted these songs and stories to online competitions for feedback, which helped him find his direction, style, and voice. In 2007, Ross entered a Myspace singing competition for a chance to be featured on the Step Up 2 The Streets Music Soundtrack produced by Atlantic Records; Ross reached the Top 5 male finalists. Ross describes himself as a writer first, songwriter second, and a singer last. Editors and songwriting judges have described Ross’ writing as ‘never lacking soul’ with the ability to anger or soothe–but always descriptive and transparent.

 

While pursuing a Marketing degree from Cal State LA, Ross interned in the Sales & Marketing team at Power 106 radio station in Los Angeles. The internship led to an opportunity at ASCAP (Performing Rights Organization), where he worked with the process of music publishing and obtained hands-on experience with songwriting and licensing.

Unable to land a dream job in the industry, Ross moved to South Korea to work as an English as a Second Language teacher. After many years of teaching phonics to advanced-level English, he began to work in Operations Management in international schools. These roles married Ross’ love for language, international travel, and Marketing together in a unique way.

 

After the back to back death of his brother and father, Ross was faced with profound grief which pushed him down a road of deep self-reflection about life and his personal legacy. With laser focus and new-found understanding, Ross combines his creative passions and practical work experience to inspire and entertain readers and listeners with his books and music in a way that feels fresh and sincere.

Adult Film Star Bonnie Blue Alleges Record-Breaking 12-Hour Marathon

Honk Magazine FD IMG 1

In today’s world, where becoming famous can often mean doing outrageous things, adult film star Bonnie Blue has made a shocking claim that has everyone talking. She says she’s set a new world record by sleeping with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. If this is true, it would break previous records and raise many questions about such an achievement’s practicality, ethics, and health implications. This announcement comes during a trend among adult performers who are pushing the limits with what they can do in these “sex marathons.” For example, another performer, Lily Phillips, recently made headlines for spending time with 100 men in 24 hours.

With Blue’s jaw-dropping claim, she might have taken the spotlight away from Phillips, assuming Blue’s story holds up. Bonnie Blue described the experience as “just a rotating circle.” While her choice of words is intriguing, the main topic of discussion online has been whether such a feat is even possible. So far, no official proof or documentation has emerged to back up her claim, leaving many people doubtful about how such a marathon could realistically happen. Bonnie Blue’s alleged record attempt fits this trend of shocking stunts aimed at capturing the fleeting nature of internet fame. However, with something as unbelievable as this, many want more evidence before believing it.

Without proof, debates are heating up online about whether this is merely a publicity stunt or a record-breaking achievement. This claim also sparks conversations about what performers will do to get noticed in an industry that often relies on pushing limits. Some people admire Blue for her ambitious claim, while others are concerned about such an endeavor’s possible mental and physical impacts. The internet thrives on sensational stories, and this one certainly fits the bill. It remains to be seen if her name will go down in history as a record holder or fade into the background of viral drama.
