Hello, my name is Ben Ehrman. I am a Junior at Iowa City West High School in the college town of Iowa City, Iowa where the University of Iowa is located. I am sixteen years old, my date of birth being May 12, making me a Taurus.

I am a studio musician, having recorded with bands reaching such genres as Prog. Metal, Art Rock, Gothic Rock, Punk Rock, and a ton of other styles. I have played guitar for four years, and bass guitar for roughly one or two, although it hardly takes talent to play a bass guitar, IMHO.

I enjoy Nu Metal, Gothic Rock, Punk, Post-punk, and 1980's Metal (plus some Hard Rock). I enjoy movies like Repo Man or Pulp Fiction. I continually see a large arachnid on the wall next to my desk, and it scares the living shit out of me.

I also am a fan of Family Guy, The Simpsons, The Venture Bros., The Mighty Boosh, Metalocalypse, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, King of the Hill and some other neat-o TV shows. I despise Guitar Hero, and fail miserably at it, even though I am a professional musician. I once met a man who told Kurt Cobain that he sucked. Kurt responded by saying "fuck you" and flipping him off. I also enjoy Grunge Rock

I also enjoy the fact that nobody else can deface this article. And that you are taking the time to read it. <3. No, really; I mean it.

I also am a conspiracy theory follower, although I do not care about conspiracies involving 9/11, Big Foot, or the JFK assassination, as they have already been debunked. I am more into [Men In Black] (not the movies) and Cryptozoology. Plus aliens. I am a fan of Coast to Coast AM, having almost been on their show twice.

I also enjoy Retrogaming, and Diablo II. Although I don't play that as much as I would like to. My favorite game of all time is Super Mario Bros. 3, which has been widely regarded as the best game of all time. I love the NES and SNES. Without them my life is meaningless.

My favorite holiday is Christmas followed by Halloween. I love the phrase "back in the day", and I assert myself as old school.

I like Electronica, specifically Progressive Trance and Ambient. I am a fan of Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada, although I hate Canada and Canadians in general.

I also enjoy black lights and rave gear. And indie gaming. I have considered playing World of Warcraft before, but it seems far to addictive, and I do not want to end up in rehab.

I stick to Conservative liberalism as a political standpoint, and believe that Ronald Reagen was the best president we have had past John F. Kennedy, although my anarchist father would wholeheartedly disagree with me. I also believe that George Bush was the worst, although he seems like he'd be fun to have a beer with. Speaking of beer, I am an avid fan of Heineken, Becks, and St. Pauli Girl. I also like Marlboro Reds. And I think the smoking ban is bullshit.

I also enjoy Mountain Dew, but not MTN Dew. I enjoy Game Fuel, but only the blue version. I prefer Coke over Pepsi. I also view Wikipedia as my Holy Bible, and consult it for anything I have a need or want to know. I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook, as well.

Many people I have known have compared me to Coach McGuirk from Home Movies. I even have his voice, and body shape. And mind.
