Hi. My name is Ben. I live in a small town, and generally keep to myself. I like it that way. I'm not a very hip guy, but I don't really care what anyone thinks.
I'm madly in love with Talia Tia Gerardi. She's made my world quite wonderful. Things couldn't be much better with her.
I love to create music, and I love to write. Its a pretty big part of my simple life. Self expression is something I'm very comfortable with.
I like to drink beer. I like nature.
That's me in a nutshell.

My idea for a local folk fest

The recent "Pagan Fest" has just sent some of the biggest names in folk metal plundering venues throughout the United States. This has really brought on a resurgent "pride" and love for folk. As I was...

My Review of "The Marine" (And what I think of hollywood’s portrayl of Marines)

Well first of all, this is a straight up garbage B movie at best. Its basically The Commando, but horrible (because Arnold isn't in it). Its an action movie for 12 year olds. Explosions going off. Peo...

Lyrics II

This is actually from a doom project that I'm working on by myself. The style is very dark, and is usually written very spontaneously (I just listen to the music and go with the flow.)Behold... This i...
