About Me


Hi. I'm Benjamin.

I like rubber ducks and Stitch but not as much as Top Gun.

My Interests

Movies, music, other people, God, POG: the game, trying to skateboard but falling on my butt physically, scurvy, Disneyland, trying to play guitar but falling on my butt metaphorically, Kari, unopened cans of SPAM, comics, spitting contests, rubber ducks, POG: the juice, sun-dried tomatoes, traveling the world and the 7 seas, cheese.

I'd like to meet:

A liger.
