Benjamin B...but you can call me Cheshyre

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

to be honest with you i was completely against using this thing...call it an urge to be a nonconformist...but after constant insisting by my "kids", and one of them making a page for me (appreciate it Miles), here i am...recently i have experienced multiple epiphanies regarding who i am and how great of a life i have; what is truly important and what is frivolous...and at the end of the day i can say that i am a very blessed guy =)due to the many eye opening events that have taken place in the recent past, i am happier now than in previous memory... with the Good Lord and a few loved ones by my side i am doing my best to become a more resilient, knowledgeable and hopefully, compassionate person... to all of my "kids"...i miss you terribly...you know who you are...

My Interests

books, Christianity, chrono trigger, concerts, conversations, cooking, dancing, education, family, friends, Good Lord, honesty, humor, imagination, karma, laughter, movies, music, nicole randall johnson, performances, politics, philosophy, psychology, r and b, rave culture, religious studies, running, sarcasm, singing, snowboarding, sociology, spirituality, travel, valis, world of warcraft, worthwhile discussions, writing...

I'd like to meet:

anyone who can hold a conversation of depth regarding similar interests...whoever is in love with music and dance is definitely a friend of mine...constantly searching for good conversation; after all, that's where all good friendships start...if only for a time...any person who carries a great deal of respect, compassion, empathy and a hunger to understand those around them...as long as the other parties actions are not malicious, i am a adamant subscriber to the phrases "to each his own", "don't judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes" and "opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one"..."God don't like ugly" also works wonders for me...these viewpoints stand for the different faiths of the world as well...it is impossible for me to believe that any one faith has all of the answers, including my own...i believe in God's infinite wisdom (and therefor His infinite ability to understand and love limitlessly) more than i do any one particular book, or doctrine, which promotes the mentality that only one type of people are privy enough to be with Him in the end..oh, and eventually God...but we all know what it takes to see Him face to face, and i ain't rushing that one =)
