[La Flames Fan]

As most of you know I've been on and off in California (on mostly), but for the last year I have really gotten away from acting. While the opportunities have come up and there's been plenty of interest, my heart just wasn't in it any more.

I'm gonna stay in Calgary for good.

I guess the idea that there is absolutely no security in acting really sealed the decision for me. While the money is great and the lifestyle is fun, I often felt a longing in L.A. for something else. The city is a great place to visit, but a terrible place to live. There's too many people, there's no community feeling, and there's a vast difference in the way Americans in Los Angeles live their life. It's all work, no play, believe it or not.

Specifically about the acting business, it's an awful biz to be in. Yes, as I said, the money is great, but there are more important things in life. The business is funny, because some times it is great and wonderful and fantastic, but generally (unless you're a Pitt or the like) it's a boring, useless existence. It's sort of like going to a party which you think is going to be crazy and realizing there's a couple people drinking wine and watching American Idol.

So I'll go to school in the fall, get myself an edumication and go from there...

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest CP....I'm sure none of you really care, I just needed to write it down...

Cheers,
Ryan
