About Me

I'm a Black Converse All-Star
Hey I'm Ben, that fly off the wall kinda guy dossing in the corner. I'd say I've got a pretty cool life and I take way too much for granted. Plenty of cause to wake up in the morning and enjoy the day! Returned from the US on August 19th 2007 after a 10 week northeastern working tour. I dont really like large congregated groups of people unless I'm at a rock concert, Ummm I procrastinate badly, I've become really random and occasionally paranoid. On a lighter more serious note I do make the best of life and enjoy doing so :) Hanging out with REAL mates and having a laugh is probs what I do best. I love the punk/hard-rock/emo scene and always like meeting people with the same interest. I'm into rock/alternative music, mostly hard-rock and some screamo.

"Move beyond the boundries of the mundane, to the insane - live a little!"
I don't do drugs. I drink mainly spirits.
If I had to choose my favourite food I'd probably have to say a half decent salad these days. Probably Yates Winelodge, Brewers Fayre or Walkabout food.
I dont have any pets. I used to mess about with the bass but dont really play, only basic scales. I like a variety of classic punk rock including, The Ramones, The Buzzcocks, The Clash and Rancid.
Currently at present I am looking for a new band, Writing a possibly publishable novel and pre-planning another tour side project. SUMMER 2007 US NORTH-EAST TOUR OVER!!!
Life is Kickin!
