Wassup y'all, it's Ben a.k.a. BenMVP. I'm originally from Houston, TX, but now live in Newark, CA. This is my 2nd time around on myspace. I got rid of it the first time because I was getting lots of spam messages & friend requests and I wasn't really doing much on here in general. I spent way more time on facebook since that's where most of my friends were anyway. And when I was on here, I'd just be browsing, which was pretty unproductive to say the least.
Outside of work, I'm a pretty chill person. I like to kick it with my roommates and other friends in the area. I don't hit up the clubs as much as I used to. Some of my friends say I'm getting old, but it just doesn't have the same appeal to me as it used to. I've found that there are other things (like going bowling, watching movies, etc.) that are more fun than grinding on a random stranger. lol
On Sunday mornings you can catch me in church at Abundant Life Christian Fellowship. I also recently started teaching Sunday School to preschoolers (ages 3-5) and that has been a blessing beyond belief. I'm supposed to blessing them, but I feel like I'm receiving most of it. They are at the perfect age. They are old enough to be able to talk and hold a halfway decent conversation, but not too old where they'll actually talk back. haha
In sum, God is working wonders in my life. I know I have yet to reach His ultimate purpose for my life, but I'm finally building a close relationship with Him, so at least I'm on the right path now...
Who I'd like to meet:
Jesus...for an eternity. But before then, the woman that God has blessed me with here on earth.
Lol...no worries! You can buy me lunch or something when you return to make it up! :P Oh and don't worry...you aren't missing anything with the "boo boo". Long story...I'll tell you bout it later. Have fun in Houston!
