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 you (and me) 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 BA in English-Writing & an MS in College Counseling and Student Development). Then I moved up to Oregon and woked as a Hall Director at the University of Portland in Oregon. From there, I moved down to Mt. Shasta, California. Man, I love this place. Mountains, sun, snow, and family. What more could a man ask for?

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

Summer Break 2010

Okay, I know not everyone is in the education business, but for those of you who don’t know, it’s Summer. Hooray! Not only does that mean that school’s out, it also means I’m taking a little break from blogging…woot. Only about three weeks, but still. Just a heads up. I know, I know, get the...

Duke vs. Butler…wait, what?! Really?

Yeah, you read it right. Duke. Arguably the most dominant team in college basketball over the last twenty years is in the NCAA National Championship. Again. No biggie. So who are they facing in Indianapolis tomorrow night? Powerhouse Kentucky? Overall number 1 seed Kansas? Repeat National Champ UNC (who, btw, didn’t even make the tourney…LoL)?...

Warriors For Sale? A Dream Come True.

While the past 15 years for the Golden State Warriors and their fans have been full of exciting plays, high scoring games, and one memorable playoff run, they haven’t been that full of overall wins. In fact, the Warriors are right there with Tim Donoughy in spearheading the lowlights of the last decade in the...

Bracketology with Benbo

Okay, in light of the greatest weekend of the year (the start of college basketball’s March Madness!!!–48 games in four days!!!), I figured I’d post this gold nugget I found through Rivals.com. It’s a pretty sweet breakdown of the seeds in the tourney that past thirty years and how far they’ve gone in the tournament....
