About Me

First off, I was born... and then came the more difficult challenges...
Although I've always been telling stories in one way or another since as long as I can remember, and I had experience as a director from the start, I got my real start in entertainment through acting and comedy. I worked in theater, self-produced shorts, low-budget productions, and even trained in improv from Second City Chicago.

I've been known as: Ben, Big Ben, Woody, the Woodster, Mark Benjamin Woodall, Taliesin, Cool Cat, Bad Boy Dog, woodywoodywoody101 (for which I was infamous over the Internet), crazycatwoody, and, last but not least, coolcatwoody.

Peace and love. Dig that jive to stay alive. But it ain't what it used to be, baby.
I consider myself equal to all other beings. I don't consider myself above anyone, and I consider no one above me. I live by the practices of love and forgiveness.

My Interests

What is paganism?

What is a pagan, you may ask.  Well, lets check the dictionary.  That's where my teacher always told me to check when I was in school.  Let's see here...  Hmm...  The Webster'...

Why is it...

Why is it that whenever I start posting more blogs, or edit them..., I get more SPAM, or these so-called sex-o-haulic girls (fake profiles) wanting to be my friends.  Especially when I post ...
