    Ben.'s Interests
GeneralInterests? Thats a little broad isn't it? Anyoo, here goes. In my opinion videogames and music are the twin pillars of civilization, helpfully propped up by film, (a little bit of) TV, books, travelling, obscure fashions, gigging, football (Stoke City i particular) and graphic design. My more obscure interests that people don't really know of or understand, are a little further reaching. These include semiotics, theories of evolution, mad architecture (possibly in Helsinki), telts (ask if you want, I wont be offended), alphabetising the X-Box section, the protection of Badgers and Racoons, dancing during awkward silences and collecting shinny things.

BooksI haven't read enough books in my time even though I know they are filled with goodness that will enrich me. As a result I do not feel I can pass any form of judgement although my faves that I have had chance to read are 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night' and 'Lord of the Flies'.

About me:
My secret combination
Is a mystery for you
Use your imagination
I'm not easy but I'm true
My secret combination
Boy you'll have to try hard
To win a distination
in the centre of my heart


Greece were robbed.
Who I'd like to meet:
There are a few. Hitler I'd have a nice chat with. David Kelly too. Me main peeps Paddy Wolf, Amanda Palmer, little Joanna Newsom (I have one in my pocket), Jarvis Cocker, Bjork, TOOL, the Dreijer siblings. That Tarantino lad, David Fincher, Gus van Sant, Oliver Stone. My sister. Mr RedEye, Ian the moderator, Naomi Klein, Sabine (we could chat fish), Steve Mericke, Zach Braff, the monkey from monkey dust, Jeremy Glich and Jeremy.

Here come some photos I took for a magazine myself and the HND buddies had to make. Props to everybody involved in the shoot. The models involved are young Bradley and Cas who y'all can find over at myspace.com/bradstheword and myspace.com/x_maroline_x if you wanna give them reps or licks. Oh, and Mark is there too, he was an accidental model when we realized we could brush his hair. Damn that shit was pretty. Anyhoo, on with the snaps.

Well, thats my current hope. And I am doing a massive array of job roles within a marketing function currently. Its just quite lucky that I've come to enjoy marketing, and I've got my head around it significantly to be able to prose good opinion - which is all I've got.
So personally I feel like I need a degree to help back up by thoughts.

Oo, i attempted to sign up to steward lattitude this year. It sold out quicker than anything.
The whole get a degree to go anywhere thing is my mums favourite arguement at the moment.
I dunno who to believe, my mum who has been wrong before. or my heart.

No, im glad i didnt coz the bands on were tosh. But from my brothers account of it it sounded brilliant.
Maybe next year, as the playlist might be better. (think Tool have a new album come 2010 or so)
London sounds like a hoot.
2 years in uni sounds ominous

I told you it had been a while! Lol, lordy knows why I even decided to venture back on here...it is yet another useless way of killing time. I should be memorising my plans for the criminal law exam tomorrow but am I? No. Possible because it's deadly boring and also because I've memorised all the cases and so I feel mildy alreet about it all.
How are you?
I'm boooooooooooooooooooored.
Probably be back on here in about a month or something when I remember about it again ^-^
