From the Hebrew name (Binyamin) which means "son of the south" or "son of the right hand". Benjamin in the Old Testament was the twelfth and youngest son of Jacob and the founder of one of the southern tribes of the Hebrews. This name was also borne by Benjamin Franklin, an American statesman, inventor, scientist and philosopher.
I listen to a wide and eclectic variety that slowley changes with my mood. Rock, Heavy Metal, Broadway, Goth, Steampunk, Classical, and even a very select few R&B / Rap numbers.
Movies
Quite a few... Mel Brooks, Monty Python, The Lord of the Rings, old movies, new movies, movies with people, movies without people, if it has a plot I might actually enjoy it. And oh yes, Bukaroo Bonsai.
Television
Studio 60, Firefly, Dead Like Me, Monty Pythons Flying Circus, Scrubs, The 10th Kingdom, Rurouni Kenshin, House.
You Are Fozzie Bear
"Wocka! Wocka!"
You're the life of the party, and you love making people crack up.
If only your routine didn't always bomb!
You may find more groans than laughs, but always keep the jokes coming.
My favorite authors are Terry Goodkind, George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, Terry Brooks, Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, L.E. Modsett Jr., Douglas Adams, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Oh yes... Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, because a guy is allowed to pine over 200 year old romance novels so long as they are edited to include zombie infestations.
About me:
In thought I sit, no one but me, yet deep inside, I disagree.
Hi, my name is Ben, but there are some who call me... Ben? If you are reading this, I would hope you already have a semblance of who I am just by looking at the rest of the page. But since this is Myspace, I should probably write this for the lowest common denominator of society.
Screw that.
Welcome one and all to my insanity as depicted through html. If you have any complaints, please write them on the back of a twenty dollar bill and mail it to me, I'll ensure it gets my personal attention.
At this point I have realized that I'm not that good at talking about myself, so I'll try to distract you by telling you to read the rest of the page, it gives a pretty good idea of the me that I call me.
And other people call Big Ben, The Brute Squad, Tall Dark and Scary, Moose (yes, the one from rocky and bullwinkle), and a pretty long list of other names, some of which will cause you to be thrown in jail in certain countries.
Both mysterious and attractive, you captivate people with the fact that you seem to be good at everything! Spending quiet moments with a friend and talking about what life means to you is your ideal situation. You don't like to stand out very much and you seem to be more old-fashioned than modern, but when you do take the spotlight -- you command the floor! Which Soul Calibur character are you?
Who I'd like to meet: People... no, really... just about anyone would do, but don't expect me to talk much, becuase I don't (as everyone who ever knows me puts a lie to that face)... I dunno...
And chicks... chicks are cool. (there dammit, stop badgering me to outright say it allready, I've done it, what more do you want from me?)
Other than that, Just about anyone who doesn't belive in forceing their way on others...
And President "W" Bush so I can beat the everliving shit out of him.
...and take his wallet.

This Months Top Friends: I am lazy enough to turn on the random feature.
*sigh* so it seems you are never going to talk to me again :P I hope your trip went well...i'm sure you're glad to be home. We should have drinks sometime. :)
<<< Worst friend ever. I will be unpregnant, and sleep deprived in a couple of months. After that, I should be back to my usual, sarcastic, giant pain in your ass self. :)
Right now, in this moment, you can choose the life you want. Don’t wait for something big to occur, start right now, where you are and that will lead to something greater. I believe in you. Oh yeah, and if you are completely satisfied with your life right now, congratulations, I wish you continued happiness. Hugs, elizabeth

Thank you for helping us have a successful grand opening. Did you get to see the photos and video? It was a great party, you can see it here. What a sucessful day! There's one thing left to do - take a look at the bunnies who need sponsors , and see if you can help? If you can help sponsor ONE spay, imagine how fast we'll get that list down to none!
