created with QuizFarm.comSo I was looking at my old blogs and here was one that jumped out at me and made me laugh. It explains a lot about me I think. If you get though it and understand my sense of humor the rest will make a lot more sense :)•Armageddon Eggs 9-11-06So today is the anniversary of 9-11 and all. The day was spent with all of the stupid news agencies rehashing moments and cheapening the hurt and violation that we felt that day for the sake of ratings. The only ray of light in all of that was when Hillary had some pointed barbs pointed at the current administration that totally made sense. Why after five years is the mastermind still at large despite the fact that he's allegedly dragging a dialysis machine around with him? Why are we still in a war with a country who, as fucked up as their leader was, had nothing to do with the attack? Other than that brief moment of clarity, all I got out of the media that day was that I'm still totally hot for Anderson Cooper. In a completely unrelated incident, Mom decided to make hard-boiled eggs. To let the rest of the family know that they were hard-boiled and also the date of their hard-boiledness she wrote little 9-11's on them. It was kind of twisted and comedic at the same time. When I opened the fridge in the midst of me trying to ignore the big sweaty whore of self congratulatory mass media propaganda on CNN (if I hear the words 'Triumph of the human spirit' said in that condescending news anchor tone one more time...), only to be faced with my own unintentional little 9-11 memorial in my ice box, I had to see the irony. I found it quite a bit more fitting actually. Don't forget the day. It fucked with all of us, hard. But by all means, life goes on. I ate two Armageddon Eggs. Take that terrorists. I sprinkled them with lemon pepper and washed them down with Dr. Pepper. How patriotic. It doesn't get more American than that. I miss Europe. But not more than I missed Target and In-N-Out. The land of milk and honey, baby. AMERICA! FUCK YEAH! :)•"There's too many stars, and not enough sky." - Tori AmosMy life is just one series of exhilirating experiences one after another. Sometimes I can't take it and I just start crying and laughing at the same time. People must think I'm a damn crazy person. Except I'm cute enough to get away with shit like that. Insanity and ordered chaos is kind of my M.O. Thank you mommy :)I was in Europe working as an acrobat on Norwegian Cruise Line's Jewel. I said I'd never do a ship again, but then they offered me everything that I wanted, so I figured, why not go spend my summer in the Mediterranean? Didn't throw anyone overboard :) Very proud of myself. Admittedly though, this time around it was 8 years later and I'd like to think that I was a little wiser :) I kinda had to put the rest of my life on pause and it was a big part of me getting dumped, but as annoying as the cliché is, everything totally happens for a reason. In an odd way though, those people became my family and we genuinely cared for each other. For the first time in a long time, everything felt really right and I felt like I belonged somewhere, so the sacrifices that came along with it were totally worth it. Besides, it helped fund my plans for world domination :)Finally hit my quarter century crisis. Decided to quit talking about shit and actually just do it. In the spirit of that, I started a production and performance company, The Vertigo Aerial Acrobatics Posse, and started a gay boy performance troupe, The Hot Boy Circus. It has been rough because it has been a lot of work, but it has been awesome, because it has been a lot of work. I have never been happier in my life because every day I learn something new and get stronger and more experienced. My friends rock and my family rock. ...And two out of two ain't bad :)You can check out my circus shenanigans on my website at www.bennmendoza.com.We won gold at the first Martial Gymnastics Championships in Osaka, Japan. It was crazy. To celebrate I went to Tokyo to shake a tail feather with my buddies Matthew and Shohei. It was awesome. I got to give my coach his first E-Biscuit and we had the time of our lives. I still can't believe that I got to be on the first U.S. team and we got a damn Gold Medal. BANANAS! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!I'm just your average little circus monkey trying to make some friends with similar interests and fight the forces of evil. I'm trying to meet some sane people with the same respect and dedication for the hard work that it takes to manipulate your body and get it to do what you want.It's kinda hard to truly call any place "Home", I've left my heart in San Francisco, Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, Barcelona, Tokyo and Vegas (Vegas baby, Vegas :) I guess that now it's where I get my mail again, in LA, the land of the try-hards and wannabes, but everything has a balance and I have found some of the most wonderful and truly remarkable friends on the planet here. I lived in Montreal for the summers of 2004 and 2005 and commuted back and forth from Toronto which was a nice perspective. It is hard to find people that are smart, honest, funny, loyal, have their shit together, are driven, successful, not tweekers, are a touch scandalous and are hot but don't take themselves too seriously either, so when I find them I latch on for dear life and do whatever it takes to let them know how special they are to me and keep them in my life. That may seem like a tall order, but sticking to it has made me be able to have an extended family of friends that love and cherish each other and that I can not imagine being without. Besides, I am really busy and don't have the time, energy or compulsion to deal with useless drama. I am pretty intense and don't have a problem getting called on my shit, so I am equally honest with people which usually scares away the fake fucks, thank goodness. That may be getting a bit deep, but if you know what I'm talking about we probably will be best friends : ) I am always up for meeting new people and I travel a lot for my circus work, so it's nice to know people in different places.After a crazy summer in 2005, I finally got back to LA on the 21st of August! Canada had been an amazing trip and whilst it was a bit intense at times I'm still comforted in the knowledge that everything really does happen just the way it's supposed to. I feel like I made the right decisions to keep me going down the right path. More than ever I also realized that I have surrounded myself with the right people and that my relationships with my loved ones are more solid than they ever have been and that I'm totally blessed. I am a huge dork, I know. But I'm sorry, I just can't take myself too seriously. I mean come on, I hang from the drapes for a living.I saw Cirque when I was 12 and my mother got tired of cleaning footprints off of the walls, so she put me in gymnastics, which led to dance, which lead to singing, which led to acting and so on to every kind of performing you can think of. After I got out of high school, I got my first job and made too much money for an 18 year old to have. When I was done I realized that I was free for the first time in 6 years. I was rich, cute and had no responsibilities. Bad combination. I partied like a rock star in the So-Cal rave scene for about a year and change and then hit rock bottom like it was cool. Around that time found out that my mom had cancer too. She's fine now, but I was not ready for that shitstorm and I knew that I had to do something with my life. When I sorted myself out I realized I was really good at everything, but not great at anything, so I decided that I needed to focus and pick one thing and be the best at it. At first I couldn't choose, but then I figured, you might as well pick the hardest one and challenge yourself, and so it all came full circle and I decided to be an aerialist in the circus. I spent 4 years training at the Circus Center in San Francisco and 2 years performing with my alternative, neo-industrial, queer positive circus troupe, CIRCO ZERO, and that was great, but I spent the summers of 2004 and 2005 training in Montreal and it changed my life forever. I got the best training of my life. I've never been happier or more optimistic about the future and it's endless possibilities. I'm doing something I'm passionate about and I'm happy and have true friends, so life is good.I love going out and exploring and trying new things and seeing new places that I've never been before. I try and do something that scares the shit out of me every week, be it talking to someone new, trying a new sport, or learning a new circus skill. I got this from my mother who was going off to the far corners of the earth since she was 19 and then took me with her after I popped out. She had this incredible ability to attract amazing people and opportunities and be able to be spontaneous and run with them when they presented themselves. The most wonderful things would always just randomly happen to us and I grew up just assuming that that was normal until I realized that these things never happened to any of my other friends and their moms. When I got older I realized just how lucky and blessed I was and chocked it up to just having an amazing mom and that it would stop when I grew up, but I guess her eternal optimism and joi de vivre rubbed off on me because now crazy things happen to me. My most memorable ones in recent memory being Burning Man every year (it changed my life), my trip to Whistler with Mark and let's not forget Gay Disney. World Marital Gymnastics Comps WHERE WE GOT GOLD! (Sorry, still trippin':) was my most recent. Good times. I am incredibly grateful and realize just how blessed I am for these awesome experiences and I think that as long as I never take them for granted they will keep happening for years to come:)Right now I am in the process of insane training and have been focusing all of my attention on contortion. My goal is to have my ass on my head by 2007. It hurts so fucking bad. Or so fucking good. It's a fine line between pleasure and pain. Sometimes I like having a little of both to make me feel alive. I am not naturally flexible. I have worked my ass off for what I've got. Luckily I'm an obsessive compulsive perfectionist with slight masochistic tendencies (don't I sound like a treat?) so I at least can keep my eyes on this prize, no matter how much it hurts :) Yay. I'll keep you posted on how it goes :)Thoughts Of The Day :)(4.22.99) Be scene, not herd. (4.22.99)(6.16.05) - "I wish that just once, people wouldn't act like the cliche's that they are."
