About Me


You Are a Visionary Soul
You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness.
Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul.
You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable.
Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings.
You have great vision and can be very insightful.
In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself.
Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend.
You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer.
Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul What Kind of Soul Are You?
What's to know? My name is Ben. I'm a big boy; 6'4", 275 lbs. I'm very athletic and currently play basketball and racquetball regularly. I have short sandy blond hair and my eyes are a green/hazel mix. I'm usually pretty quiet, but it's not because I'm shy. I'm either listening (I'm a good listener), planning my escape route or deep in thought about the national debt of Peru. When I do say something you better listen because it's either going to be very funny, very stupid or very profound and usually all at once.
My life has been going up and down for a while now. I had a rough childhood; growing up with an alcoholic father and a broken home. College was a great experience, although a bit hazy. I met a lot of cool people and learn a lot about life. After working a desk job for a few years, I was privileged to work in sports for about 8 years. It was an awesome time in my life. But nothing compares to having your own kid. My son is my heart and soul. Thankfully, that offsets other aspects of my life at the moment. So right now I'm just trying to enjoy life and see where my path takes me.
Right now I work in Inside Sales, but I'm working on getting my Masters degree in Public Relations. I'm hoping to eventually move to L.A. and get a job in Publicity/PR in the entertainment industry.If you see me .., IM me. I'd love to hear from you!..

My Interests


Crush this person!
Get your own ThisCrush.com CrushTag! ..END THISCRUSH.COM CRUSHTAG THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE!!!!!“Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming ... WOW! What a ride!”
My interests include sports, movies, music, cooking, traveling, training attack squirrels, reading, creative writing.

I'd like to meet:

I looking for cool people to talk with and be friends with. People who have similar interests. Everybody is different and I love meeting new people and discovering who they are. where they've been and where they want to go.

Music:



I like ALL kinds of music!..Some of my favorite groups are The Cure, the Tragically Hip, Marillion/Fish, 50 Cent, Methodman & Redman, Blues Traveler, Avril Lavigne, Benny Benassi, Paul Oakenfeld, Theivery Corporation, Garbage, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park, Godsmack, System of a Down, Sevendust, KoRn, Papa Roach, etc. I guess if I had to name some of the genres I listen to the most, they would be 80's alt-pop like Talk Talk, The Pyschedelic Furs, The Alarm, Madness, Eurythmics, Modern English: Alternative like U2, DMB, Third Eye Blind, Smashing Pumpkins: Rap like Missy Elliott, Ludacris, Cypress Hill, Rage Against the Machine, P.O.D.: hip hop, techno, trance, house, pop, oldies, new age like Yanni, Enya, Delerium, Enigma; Rock like The Who, Led Zepplin, Supertramp, Queen, jazz and even classical. I even dig The Man in Black, Mr. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp.Some of my favorite muscial genres are Alternative, Rap, Hip-Hop, Gangsta Rap, Pop, Techno, New Age, Jazz.

Movies:

Like with music, I like ALL kinds of movies, but I have some that are more my favorites than others. My favorite movie off all time is the first Alien movie. Sci-fi, Horror are my favorite genres but I'll get into Action/Adventure, Musicals, Comedies, Classics, War Movies, Westerns (spaghetti westerns to be specific), Dramas and even Documentaries. I love everything about movies. I'll read up on a lot of behind the scenes stuff and I like to watch bax office numbers to see how movies are doing. When I watch a movie, I usually watch all aspects of it. I'll notice things about a movie like it's direction, the music/score, the cinematography, the costumes, the sets, the writing and of course the acting. A really great movie brings all those components together.

Television:

Mostly sports and sitcoms. There's a few reality shows that I like too, like Fear Factor, America's Next Top Model, Beauty and the Geek, Last Comic Standing. All my current favorites are:
Firefly - The best television show EVER made!! The Office My Name is Earl The Family Guy The Simpsons Gilmour Girls (alright! I have a thing for Lauren Graham)
Some of my favorite channels to watch are the Food Network, the History Channel, the Discovery Channel, Comedy Central, A&E, MTV, and of course any sports channel.

Books:

I used to love reading books, but because my time is so limited, I usually just read newspapers and magazines. My favorite book of all time is Battlefield Earth by L.Ron Hubbard. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Scientologist and I don't like any other of his books, but that one I like. When I do read books, I like Sci-Fi, Biographies/Autobiographies, Philosophy and Political/Economic books.
My favorite book right now is a philosophy book titled, "The Teachings of don Juan" by Carlos Castaneda

Heroes:

I dont' really have anyone I would consider a hero. However, I think everyone who died during 9/11 is a hero for the sacrifice they made in the name of freedom.
