Hmmm what to say, what to say. My name's Ben and I live in West Virginia, and I'm a college dropout, seriously. I'm a musician and a poetry writer, which are my two biggest passions. I also at one time aspired to be a stand up comedian, so I'm told I got a pretty good sense of humor. I'm really outgoing and will talk to just about anybody, so yeah, hit me up. Unless your an ass to people, oh well. I'd like to say I'm an enigma but I'm not. I believe in honesty and being up front. Sometimes I'm too damn out going for my own good. Though I am a free spirit and I'll probably always be that way. I wish I could write something compelling and interesting about myself but I think just being me without flourish does me justice. The instruments I play are guitar and harmonica. My poetry differs from subject to subject, if you wanna know about it just ask.
