About Me

it's hard to type and hold the gun steady

I'm very good at getting thrown out of bars, clubs, wine tastings, house parties, family gatherings, and intimate get togethers with close friends. It seems that not everyone appreciates my dynamic and understated sense of humor.

My therapist tells me that I’m doing much better and that making anonymous e-friends through myspace can be a healthy substitute for real human contact. Whether she means for me or the people I'm meeting, I'm not sure.

My Interests

I enjoy whiskey, alcoholism, long walks on the beach when I can't find my wallet, cellphone or car keys and I have to walk home, and books. Some days I enjoy lying on my couch for hours puking into a trashcan, I call these days Sunday. I've become an expert in pre-partying, and I can wake up, be drunk and out at a bar within an embarrassingly short time. I’m an expert at sleeping through appointments and dinner plans. I also write a little bit at BenCorman.com .

I'd like to meet:

girls with drug problems.

Music:

Whatever song my upstairs neighbors are currently playing loud enough to shake everything in my apartment is my favorite. Seriously, I like it when the bassline and steady beat are loud enough that my apartment feels like a vibrating womb.

Movies:

Whatever the kids are mindlessly quoting today to avoid any actual conversation or interaction. Vote for Pedro.

Television:

When my roommate moved out he took the TV. I really miss the TV.

Books:

Daddy Drinks Because You Cry: Anecdotes, Quotes and Life Lessons

Mommy gets hit because Daddy cares: A children's guide to dealing with abuse
