About Me:
I'm getting a PhD in US History. Some people think I act exactly like a professor, and others tell me I'm the farthest thing from an intellectual. I like to have fun, my sense of humor is a little bit on the quirky/dirty side (reconcile that!). I like to be on top of things and talk about all kinds of subjects, whether it's politics, entertainment, or sports. I love playing sports, but at this point in my life I'm more of a spectator than a player (with the exception of the occasional grad student softball game, where I look like a major leaguer in comparison to some of my fellow students). I'm a fan of Penn basketball, Texas football, and the New Orleans Saints when I'm in the mood. I've been teaching myself guitar the past couple of years, and I'm doing as well as can be expected of someone without talent. I also love Howard Stern and my Sirius radio. I never learned how to play chess.

Well, the band hasn't actually formed yet but we all know I'm an incredible vocal talent and Ben's better than Page at his best...so, well, there WILL be a band...of course.
Yup. We will be famous. Real famous. I swear. With groupies. Lots of 'em. Tons. Yeah...groupies...
in college, and we are related by
marriage. He rocks - he did all sorts
of things like delivering beer for me to
freshman in the quad, making out with my
friends, and going to date parties with
my friends (and making out with those
friends sometimes, also).
and the beard, Ben. Nevertheless, you
have far more skills than Tamir
Goodman.
March, I can easily say Ben is a rock
star. He and I are going to start a
band. No, really, I'm not kidding.
I'm not. Just ask Ben.
it mandatory for me to write more?
doesn't know it yet. He has mad guitar
skills! No but seriously Ben is the
Ladies' Man. All the other history
grad students try to emulate him, but
they FAIL! Ben rocks my world!
