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.

Who’s With CoCo?

By now, I’m sure a lot of my faithful blog readers (Tyler…and sometimes Chuck. Love you guys.) have been wondering which side of the whole Jay Leno vs. NBC vs. Conan O’Brien controversy I’m on. Well, I’m here to say…It’s just not that black and white. So, in light of the end of a mere...

Procrastination’s Not Just a River in…Wisconsin?

Okay…a few links that I’ve been using in my (minimal) amount of spare time while (supposedly) writing… If you’re job-searching, California, New York (and well, pretty much anywhere on the East or West coasts except Oregon… If you’re a fan of the Back to the Future Trilogy and/or you want your head to explode. Drunk...
