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.

49ers 2010 Schedule Preview

NOTE: I started writing a blog article on the draft results from today (as well as this weekend), and during my research I found a great article on 49ers.com about the offensive lineman the Niners picked up in the first round and how they’ll change our team significantly. So yeah, read that, then read this...

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...

The Catch: 1982 NFC Championship Game

January 10, 1982. It’s a cold Sunday afternoon in the San Francisco Bay, in which the overcast sky has somehow foreshadowed the gloom of a game which has not turned out as expected. The San Francisco 49ers have struggled all day, losing three turnovers to their hated rivals, the Dallas Cowboys and are trailing 21-27...
