Introducing Ben

Since Sesh is super busy with his new accounting job now that he got a raise (congrats Sesh) and has to work extra hard to prove to his bosses that they aren't wasting their money on him, Sesh hasn't had an opportunity to log on to our blog and introduce himself. So I'll do it for him.

My Friend Ben















This is my friend, Ben. Ben was born on January 28, 1983. Ben grew up in Naperville, IL on Chippewa Drive with his parents, older brother, and younger sister. Ben is Jewish and has a Jewish tatoo even though he doesn't go to church, doesn't practice Judism, and celebrates Christmas, buying Christmas presents for his family members and accepting Christmas presents from his family members. Like Dan Lefevre, you could consider Ben a fake Jew.

I met Ben in sixth grade at Jefferson Junior High School in Naperville, IL. We played basketball together in seventh and eighth grade. Remember when Mr. Somers use to to yell at us, Ben? He was sooooooo mmmmmeeeaaaaannnnnn!!!!!!!

Ben went to Naperville North High School. He commonly wore Grateful Dead t-shirts and even grew a beard during his junior year. It wasn't very hard for Ben to grow a beard.

Ben went to college at The University of Iowa. After realizing his love of math, Ben decided on a business major with an emphasis in accounting. Ben is looking forward to sitting at a desk and working with numbers for the rest of his life. Way to go Ben!

While at Iowa, Ben displayed leadership in a number of areas. He was the organizer for his intramural football team as well as his intramural basketball team. (People said TC was the organizer of the basketball team, but we know who the real organizer was, Ben! TC forgot too much stuff!) Ben also set up an accounting bar crawl where all of the accounting majors could go from bar to bar wearing t-shirts that said naughty and clever things like "We're going to tax that ass!" , "Crunch this!" , and my favorite "If you don't like these figures then I figure I'll punch you in the face!"

Ben also likes to drink heavily.

Ben's favorite food is KFC. He doesn't have any pets. He likes to play sports like disc golf, basketball and softball. He likes technological stuff like TVs and big stereo systems.

He also likes smoking pot and watching Crank Yankers.

Ben won a disc golf tournament called the Shorewood Shootout, beating Chris Sundin and Matt Schulter.

Just to remind you, Ben won a disc golf tournament. It was called the Shorewood Shootout. Chris Sundin and Matt Schluter finished behind Ben who finished in first.

One time Ben was playing disc golf at a tournament in Shorewood, IL called the Shorewood Shootout. Chris Sundin and Matt Schluter were playing in the tournament with Ben. Chris and Matt did not win the tournament because Ben won the tournament.

Sometimes Ben does silly things like when he locks his friend Paul in the bathroom by tying a rope from the bathroom door knob to another another door knob and makes him stay in the bathroom for hours at a time. Ben, you silly goose!

One time I saw Ben eat a whole birthday cake by himself.

Ben loves breaking up with girls and demanding they give him all his stuff back. It's his stuff and he has every right to it.

Ben is a great friend. I am glad I am Ben's friend.
