Went for a long walk today. Took about an hour, according to my ipod. Found this rather interesting little park/walking path behind some subdivision houses. Made me happy I had a camera in my phone and kind of got some of my creative juices flowing. Going to try and massage those images into something in photoshop, they looks alright for a point and shoot, I...

I'd like to welcome the first (?) of my SG friends. I honestly don't give a shit who you are, this is probably the one place on earth where I will start friending anyone who asks. There are far too few SG-types here in Northern IL that I feel like extending my virtual friendship (for what value that has) to one and all!

p.s. I've...

Back on the free trial. I find it hilarious that I was a member 4 freaking years ago and SG still is trying to bring me back. That level of commitment is unheard of. Unless SG is really hurting for members... which wouldn't surprise me.
Whatever, I'm back, I'm (depressingly) older than the previous post. But at the same time at least now I have...

So, you know that station i am interning for? Well, i'm still there and I'm doing a bunch of stuff. Some of it is cool. Some of it... eh. To be honest shooting vo/sots and packages every week is kind of a drag. Especially when it's somethign you could not care about if you tried. highlights include: Meridian Township's political sign ordinance, and the Hamilton...

Ben, the college student is dead. Long live Ben, the intern!

Yes, I've laid dormant for a while and now have arisen, "or.. Ben as he should have been." (to quote LOTR).

I now intern at HOM-TV, the source for all your meridian township government coverage. thrilling I know. But you shut up because it's the dawning of a new era, when I'm doing something...

Howdy, once again. Taking a nice four day weekend, primarily been drinking and sleeping, with some smoking thrown in for good measure. Two nights ago things got rather loopy, as weeded out people started peeling off clothes on a trampoline.
I've felt so damn fat the past coupla days as we ordered pizzas, ate KFC, and generally let health go to shit. ANd speaking of...

Soo, Jenn and I just went to go see Cars. Goddamn, that movie is very not-good. Jenn was pretty psyched to see it and she came out of the film full of wrath for it. There's a lot wrong with the film, personally, I'd just recommend avoiding it, simply because you'll be bored to tears halfway through and the ending does not make up for...

Just as a bit of an announcement. I am not dead, and I have not lost interest in SG. I did however, recently move as well as start up the summer job. Oh, yeah, and graduate college and have a birthday. These things have led to my online silence. It does feel nice to get back to the pink and grey though.

BTW, I got...

Don't know how many of you guys out there like ska, but i know at least one of the people on my friends list probably likes it just a pinch. This was found whilst hunting around the internet on GOGO 13's blog. Whoever is running that blog does a hellovajob finding ska videos.
And this is one of the better ones I've seen in...

I always love to see people caught in the middle of something much larger than what they had anticipated. Take Duke's lacrosse debacle. Totally fucked up and everyone in it probably feels like a royal asshole for bringing a lot of negative attention to themselves, the university and Durham.

In a similar vein (at least as far as unintended consequences) the New York Times has...

Ahoy hoy, things are winding down for the semester. Too bad the temperature hasn't risen like its fucking supposed to. Ah well, I'm still wearing shorts. (thus making this indelible profile image viewable to all!)

In anticipation of summer work (woot to cleaning buildings), I downloaded In Flames (first time listen: awesome to the max), Lady Sovereign (because I read Urb and I know...

Ahhh, Google. I'm a total fucking whore for you! Seriously, any new technology that Google develops, will probably rock. That's all there is to it. These dudes are the multi-billion dollar company to keep. I don't what kind of mad scientists they have in there, but chances are it consists of "Mentok: the Mind Taker" "the Monarch" and "the Wisdom Cube" (adult swim is cool...
