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.

Kill Your Television (Part 2)

TV is a virus. And just like a virus, it has spread throughout my life, slowly taking over minute by minute until it finally erupted into an overwhelming cesspool of destruction, this past weekend. Let me back things up a bit… John Logie Baird invented the television in 1926…just kidding. But really, when I was...

Summer 2010 Deadlines

Okay…so it’s been 7 days. My bad. This whole summer break thing is terrible for setting my own deadlines. However, defeating Red Dead Redemption and enjoying the bittersweet end of Lost, and a few NBA playoff breaks here and there, I’ve managed to set a few deadlines for the coming months… Deadline #1: Finish Everyman...

“Kill Your Television”

While the old phrase (above) sure is catchy, and well, I suppose most of us probably wish we had the will power to throw out our TVs and spend all our new-found free time running, working out, hanging out with friends, or writing (another) book, it’s safe to say that most of us watch a...
