Ben Gleason is an upstanding citizen and a
positive role model for the young people of today.
The teaching industry is lucky to have him.
You and Ben have smooth sailing ahead.
Let's face it -- without any twists and
turns, things can get pretty boring pretty
quickly. You and your partner in crime
might need a little snap, crackle and pop
(and not just in your cereal) to get your
spirits back up to their normal level. So
how do you get from fizzle to sizzle? Ah,
a question for the ages, that (did yoda
write this?). The first thing you might
want to ask is, what scares you both?
The second question you'll need to
answer is, where and when can we do
it?... hhmmm. yoda.
what more could you ask for? honestly,
there are no more words.
cohort at Mills, but I wonder if he should
still be one because, as we found out,
he "used" to use Friendster for

enlightened, and yet somehow abused.
His presence lingers years after his
departure, be it through a schmernering-
whisper in the air or the faded
scrawlings of a blue-ball point above a
urinal in a bar. Despite the
fufillment that a moment with Ben
entails, his absence in conjunction
with the above mentioned ligering
leaves you wanting more. Angry and
distraught at the twisted humor of the
fates you curse their design and raise
a clenched fist in defiance,
challenging the emptiness that is life
without Ben.
On top of all that. Ben would have
been able to make the above paragraph
sound good...and write it with no
spelling mistakes and proper
punctuation. But you get the point.

I guess Ben is okay. After years of
thinking of him only as "that Scary
Guy" I now realize that the once
mysterious Ben is just a kitten looking
for a little attention, a scratch
behind the ears, and some positive
feedback about his late-night cooking
endeavors.
