Ben D.

I am a security guard.. a war veteran... a musician... a man. I write because I have this endless creative streak that just wont go away no matter how many times I sprint head first into the door of my car. You're probably asking me, Hey Ben, have you ever been published or have your literary works ever been read by or recited out loud to a large audience? Technically, no. That doesn't matter though because in MY head, I've been published. In MY head, I have a huge book deal and I write several columns in several noteworthy magazines. In MY head, I have hundreds of loyal readers and fans. Does it matter that it's all in my head, thus making me seem pathetically dillusional? Not to me! So I will write what I write, even if it's not allowed on this site.. Someday you'll see my work.. Whether it's published in a magazine or a newspaper.. Whether it's carved into a tree or scratched into the wall of a bathroom stall... Whether it's scribbled on a napkin at a restaurant or scrawled onto a fucking overpass in crayon. I will be heard.

Interests and Hobbies:
I love to experience life. Life is a very broad term. It means more than just walking around, consuming food, and breathing. I'm talking about life in the form of playing music. Life in the form of traveling and experiencing all that you can about the world. Life in the form of interpretive dance, learning to play shuffleboard with a wise old man, eating a plant that you know for a fact is poisonous, throwing large amounts of dirt and rocks into parked cars with open windows, collecting nickels, walking on your hands though creamed corn, devouring sticks of butter, sticking one's head into the ladies' restroom and screaming RAPE, pulling the fire alarm at nursing homes, dressing up like a lumberjack..... Or in my case, working graveyard shifts as a low-paid security guard, while going to school for a degree in veterinary technology and serving in the Army reserves. That's me in a nutshell. And by nutshell, I mean a warm winter coat. (It's quite chilly in here)
