INDIANA WANTS ME

About Me

I'm Benjamin, everyone else named Ben hates the name Benjamin so i am going to conform by not conforming. I am probably the most awkward person in the world, not that im rude or anything like that but I inadvertantly make incredibly awkward moments in casual conversation. I like chinese food, however i dont eat it unless it is prepared in a town that the main industry and economy is logging. I wear shirts that are older then i am simply because its hard to keep up with the times, some people think the shirts are ugly but i really dont care, not that i dont care what people think, i just dont care about what they have to say about my shirts. i am currently trying to invent something that i really have no idea what it is. When i have free time i like to work on my car, and if you have free time i wouldnt stop by when i am doing so, because things sometimes go south and i get incredible frustrated and take a chainsaw to various artifacts around the house. I dont like to clap because i believe we got it from the apes, because they clap. Im a dog person, not that i have anything against cats, i mean they cant be that bad the egyptions liked them.

My Interests

guitar, girls, my dog, driving,hanging out with friends and family, bowling, watching old movies, working with wood, building, creating stuff, fixing stuff, boxing, poultry, drinking tea, swimming, exercise, restoring my car, and i love riding my bike above all, well above most.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet everyone marvin gaye has ever slept with...and ask them such things as: "is he as good as he says he is". and"what do you add to instant water?" and Curious George. Who else would i like to meet, well all my heros, role models, and authority figures are on steroids, so i guess thats just about it. Also a cute, nice girl.

Music:

I like mostly everything exluding techno. Some of my favorite bands are Radiohead, The Arcade Fire, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Cure, BUILT TO SPILL, Cat Stevens, THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS, Jim Croce, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Bob Dylan, ben kweller, The Halo Benders, THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, the doors, THE WHO?, guess who is ok but the who is far better, The Red Hot Chile Peppers, WEEZERis pretty freaking sweet like blue album days, Queen, Steve Miller and his Band, the Grease Soundtrack is probably the best soundtrack, although hard to keep up with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and A Clockwork Orange both also very good soundtracks, basically anything else I could chill to.

Movies:

Seriously, there like a billion movies i just love so i will start from the beginning and end when i get tired: Millers Crossing, A Clockwork Orange, Dr, Strangelove, The Big Lewbowski, the graduate, Lagaan, History of the World Part 1, Young Frankinstien, Blazing Saddles, but probably my all time fav movie is Grease with John Travolta an Olivia Newton John.

Television:

i really dont watch much Tv. but csi and simpsons.

Books:

godfather, fear and loathing in las vegas, old stuff, short stories and what such

Heroes:

Mary K. Leuteurno, my Dad, Bhuvan, my mom and Airbud (how does that dog do it)
