P:Yo Ben I'm eating all this fruit right now.

P:Pineapples, honeydew, cantaloupe, grapes. It's gonna go bad. Where are you? You gotta help me out.
B:I'm at work.
P:Alright alright Bye.
spent together on a pirate ship. I still adhere
to his theory of spicing food, which states
that there are tasty spices and shitty spices.
You use the tasty spices and don't use the
shitty ones. And allspice is the shittiest of all.
The 1st time we hung out outside of
school, we were 16 and went to a
ridiculous Smashing Pumpkins concert.
It just so happened that Dan Nesushal
the German was attending the SAME
concert and was sitting at the exact
section above us. Dan Neushal the
German threw his cigarette ends on my
head. This did not phase Ben. The
cigarettes were still lit. I don't
think he remembers this. The
following year we went camping with
Alex and drove up with his mom's
Volvo. One day, Ben let me drive back
to the site. I had never really
driven before. I turned right into a
very large tree. I turned to look at
Ben in horror. He was chillin' facing
forward, with the same expression he
held at the concert when my hair was
almost set afaire. He is a great
mystery, this boy. Don't let those
blinkless calm looks fool you. Ben is
cooking up a storm of thought and I
love him for it.
will bike 20 miles through a blizzard
to work all day building a house, bike
home through a hurricane, strip naked,
and cook a 12 course vegan feast in his
saw-dust covered birthday suit that
will knock your socks off and make you
drool (was i talking about the meal or
the birthday suit?). and then he'll
whip out a blow torch and weld some
advant-garde iron sculptures for fun
before listening to prog-rock and going
to bed. Fuck him now while supplies
last!
room. he is the most gracious and kind
person i have ever met, while cultivating a
sense of adventure and style. i would feel
safe if ben led me through a pack of wild
wolves who wanted to eat me, but not
without feeling the thrill.
