about the site...

Thanks for visiting my website! I hope you enjoy your stay and are able to find your way around without any problems.

I created this site as a project, but it turned into a different few things. First off, it is a blog; simply a place where I can write some of my scattered, random thoughts, and occasionally rant a little bit, about how the man is keeping me (and you) down.

Secondly, it has become a place where I have posted some photography, so feel free to check some of that out as well. And lastly, This site will be used as part of a a few different projects for my masters degree. Feel free to email me if you have any questions, comments, concerns during your stay: (benhelms@gmail.com)

about me...

A little about me, let’s see...Well, I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, then moved to Los Angeles for college and about halfway through that I moved out to Boston. After falling in love with New England (go Pats/Sox!), I made my way back to SoCal and got two degrees from Azusa Pacific University in Los Angeles, CA (a B.A. in English-Writing & an M.S. in College Counseling and Student Development). As of now, I'm working as a Hall Director at the University of Portland in Oregon and living/working in the prestigious Villa Maria Hall.

Besides all that, I love writing, backpacking, photography, music (recording, composing and listening), playing/watching sports, and exploring new lands. View my Resume.

In fact, if you wish to see some of the labors of my toils, czech out http://www.globallosangeles.com/. It’s not 100% up yet, but for what’s there, it’s looking...

R.I.P. Sir Charles (Bear With Me…)

Hey fellow blog-readers. It’s been a difficult technologically-based few days here in vacation land (see picture). I woke up a few days ago to finish my most recent blog post and well…Sir Charles (my well-endowed, yet consistently underachieving MacBookPro) was completely unresponsive. After some mouth-to-mouth and a few keyboard compressions I finally gave up. Sir...
