About Me

Let's start off with a quote from the great poet, Charles Bukowski."We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us."In short, I'm a wannabe journalist extraordinaire, with delusions of eloquence and grandeur.Not really.My name's Ben, and there are also those who know me as "Bert".Just don't call me late for lunch.I've recently finished my BA, with masters in Journalism and Politics and Policy Studies.When I grow up, I want to be a journalist.Well, actually, I never plan to grow up, and I want to be a journalist as soon as possible.Right now, I read and write the news on 94.7 The Pulse - the Geelong community radio station.To pay the bills, I work at Bunnings.I like to drink.I like to eat.I like to have a good time.I like to argue.And I like to read.I love my friends.I also like music, and attempt to play the guitar.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who isn't trying to sell something, or advertise for something.If your page contains the words "click here for more pictures of me", I won't add you.I you want to add me, I'm more likely to accept if you actually send me a message telling me why.Don't be a stranger.
