About Me

My new website is up! Go check it out!
www.benretan.com

I'm a designer/developer/musician and my life revolves around music and technology. I'm a big fan of independent and vintage rock music; however, I will listen to anything that has genuine artistic merit. I spend most of my free time playing guitar, working on games or recording my music. In what little free time I have outside of that, I like to act and sing whenever I get the chance.

Who I'd like to meet

Game developers and designers, intelligent people, people that can understand what I'm talking about half of the time, people with ambition, travellers and cosmopolitans, people to travel with to cosmopolitan places. Freaks, geeks and any other socially despised cultural groupings.

If you are a musician, programmer, designer or artist, I'm interested in working on projects and am always looking for additional input and resources. Please feel free to contact me either via MySpace or e-mail .

Favorite Quotes

I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people.
-John Lennon

Consider that which exists to exist and that which does not exist to not exist, and recognize things just as they are.
-Hojo Nagauji (Samurai General)

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people. -Eleanor Roosevelt

The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid - ever - because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people.

'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.'

It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that - ever notice that? - and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy bigger guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.

Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over - not one human being excluded - and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.
-Bill Hicks
