dear livejournal,

i am sorry to inform you that i have recently started writing in a real journal. while you posess many great qualities including: the ability to hyperlink, html format, and a wide varity of colors and fonts, there is just something magistic about my leatherbound paper journal. but don't fret; you still serve a purpose in my life. i will use you to propagate myself. if i feel that i have a neat picture that i would like people that i attended highschool with to see, i will give it to you. if i have an upcoming event that i would like people that i attended highschool with to see, i will tell you. you are a true friend and i hope you take little offense to my relationship with my leather bound journal made by the callery leather co. in trenton main bound in the USA printed in Korea.
wishing you were here,

benhethcoat

hey stupid losers. have nothing better to do than read my lj? you are seriously a big old loser.

i am at work right now. i just came across this funny dictation for a patient. i thought that i might break the law and let you all read it as well. here goes:

"Patient request a prescription for Cialis or Viagra. He has not used these in the past. He occasionally has some difficulty with erections. Generally he awakens with an erection. He has no problems obtaining an erection when he chooses to masturbate. No penile pain or discharge. No lesions, no fever, no dysuria, and no significant health problems. Smoker. He denies CAD. No current medications. He is concerned because next weekend he will be traveling to New York to spend time with his new girlfriend, who apparently wishes to have sexual activities quite frequently. Patient is unsure if he will be able to satisfy her desires."

will someone please call me at work? i'm bored as all get out. (850) 385-2222. i'll be here untill 10PM.

thanks,
benhethcoat

hello you dweebs.

this weekend was pretty eventful, so i am logging it in this dang journal.

FRIDAY:
I had to work as usual until 10:30pm. After work, 'The Debasers' had practice with our awesome new bassist, Lindsey "Moo" Farwell. She adds a new element to the band. We all really enjoy her and commend her rhythmic talents.

SATURDAY:
Again, I had to work (7:30am - 2:00pm). After work I rushed around southern GA getting ready for Prom. While doing this, I accidently shaved my head. That's right, I said it. I went to prom with a friend of Brantley's, Mellisa Lyle. She was a great prom date. I enjoyed a $50 steak as our table discussed our inner-animals. I am some sort of large feline, possibly a young lion or cougar because of my bald head. Apparently, I am an expert at distinguishing what inner-animal people posess. If you would like an analysis, send a pic.

SUNDAY:
'The Debasers' played for Columbia and Epic. I'm not completely sure how it went. It all seems a little hazy right now but hopefully something good will come of it, even if it is just a fond memory. Afterwords, I worked where I fought and argued with Bianca, and then went to sleep.

(Pictures from this eventful weekend will be coming soon.)

I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS JOURNAL SEEMS TO BE PRETTY BORING. I WOULD'VE DONE AN LJ CUT, BUT FRANKLY, YOU DWEEBS AREN'T WORTH IT. THIS ENTRY IS FOR ME AND MY MEMORY.

ALSO, I would like to wish a certain Jonathan Neil Fallin (fellow Debaser) a most special birthday.

ALSO, If you are reading this, Michael Christmas, welcome to the internet.

THE TIME IS NOW

2005-04-01T02:42:47Z

well dweebs,
i thought i would give you a mini update on 'the debasers.' while we haven't been playing many shows as of late, we have been doing a lot of song writing. we have been working heavily on vocal harmonies and even have a five-voice, four-part beauty that we are currently polishing. anyway, i'll skip the bull and hop straight to the interesting news. in two weeks, we, 'the debasers' will be meeting and performing for columbia and epic records. these are not small labels. columbia for instance currently has springsteen and the beatles. while epic has michael jackson (by the way jackson IS innocent but i will save my explaination for another entry). with a miracle, this meeting could make us BIG. otherwise, the band will fade away as our core, Brantly Jones, moves away to NC to attend Davidson College. if this is the case, if 'the debasers' die, we will die trying. win or lose or bust, the time i have spent in this band, with these incredible guys will forever mark one of the best times of my life.

CRAZY FOR YOU

2005-03-28T20:10:58Z

'Crazy For You' has been over now for a little over a week. I had a lot of fun and learned a great deal about Gershwin and the dance of tap. Thanks to all who came to support your livejournal friend (i.e. Tad, Josh, Shuyler).

Mother (Martha Mobley), Bobby Child (me), and Irene (Holly Maxwell)

Polly (Alyson Walker) and Bobby (me) practicing one of our many slaps.

For those of you who were unable to make it to see the show...HAVE NO FEAR. Brantley Jones of Cairo, GA is in the process of writing/scoring a movie musical that we plan on filming within the next few weeks. It is about a Canadian boy who longs and wishes to become a surfer. I play the boy's robot brother. I'll fill in the gaps later, but it will be great.

Take care you dweebs.

just so you know,

2005-01-21T05:46:03Z

listen. i no longer have a cell phone and therefore have been unable to contact people that are important to me. for this, i am sorry.

i am a very busy man these days. i am working as a receptionist at a walk-in doc's office. i am a full time student. and i am currently starring in the musical, "crazy for you." if ever i have a spare hour i would much rather be on the xbox than in front of this dull computer screen. as of late, it just hasn't had the same flare... you know? i mean, i used to come to this ole' computer screen, for catching up, entertainment, and even self-enduced sexual favorings but here lately things just haven't been the same. i think i might be getting out of the period of my life in which the computer was so necessary. i guess i kind of have a love/hate relationship with this ole' computer screen but it swaying towards hate these days.

for those of you that are important to me - i will contact you as soon as i get my new phone and give you the digits.

for those of you that are not important to me - why don't you go date a dweeb or something? i don't care.

just a few messages for SOME important people:

CHRIS T.: listen man, don't be sad. i don't really understand your lj entries but i can tell that they aren't happy. cheer up or gear up. you know?

CASSI C.: cassi, i HAVE written you a letter but have not sent it. i am great at that. and i am also an asshole. watching the 'scared with joe' tape was really nostalgic for me and i AM going to see to it that you get a copy.

DOUG A.: doug man, your away message is always the same. ben kweller "on my way." its a good song, but not good enough to have as an away message for a year now. you are a killer. the curse is REAL.

EVAN J.: sorry we didn't get to hang out a lot while you were here. having an adult job kinda sucks. you are some kind of beast in halo 2. when you are lenny, i scram.

ROB H.: hey man. you are coming to tallahassee but i probably won't even be able to hang out with you because of the MAN. and im not talking about elvis costello. :(

LIN T.: lin, i miss talking to you like i miss the beast. i want to break the bonds and cut to the chase. i want to live tonight and live for wind. you are the gundam wang. let it be known. you will be the first call i make on my new phone. and thats my guarantee.

i know these seem like yearbook messages. for that, i am sorry.

first off,

i think you are probably a very big dweeb. i will be finished with this semister of college tomorrow at 1pm. it nearly feels like i have just blown a big load. metaphorically speaking of course.

i am really needing a vacation. today i went to a travel agent, victor, and discussed going to NY. i reserved a ticket and everything. however, things didnt work out, so instead, i am going to LIN T's. this is really going to be swell i think. i really can't wait to shower in her bathroom. she has this really great shampoo that i will let evan tell you about.

i saw the movie 'closer' this evening. it was a really good one if you ask me. but you didnt.

i probably dont care about you.

i love you, i guess.

girls girls girls

2004-11-17T06:02:50Z

hey losers. whats up? i dont care. this is about me. so here goes:

i believe that most girls are fairly easy to read (especially my ex gfs). by that i mean that i can usually tell weather or not a girl is into me or not and from there am able to tackle various situations accordingly. playing "hard to get" is a tactic that both males and females (in my opinion) are drawn to. this tactic is very frusterating to me. i have used it before and it has worked.

there is a girl. we'll call her rachael. she is not like my ex gfs. no, i can not read her you see? this drives me crazy. not a bad crazy but rather a curious crazy. a crazy that makes me type like this: ;laskjd;lasdkhjfg;lsdkjfg;lskdjnfgl;sdjnf;gljkjsndflgkjsjn. do you know what i mean? i don't know whats next with rachael. is this good or bad? i think neither. i dont know what the fuuuuuuck i am talking about.

bye bye goobers.

No matter what happens, we can still be friends.

But there's still a chance. Come on Kerry.

I would like to introduce you to...

2004-11-01T10:03:54Z

ROCKY.
These past few days have been really great for me and she is the reason why. I REALLY like her and I think you will too.

Work and Rocky

2004-10-29T14:14:45Z

My day started of sucky but turned out great:

First off, I have a job now. I work at Patients First. It's a walk- in clinic here in Tallahassee. I guess you would say that I am a receptionist. I am one of two guys that work there! I guess a reception position is sterotypically restricted to females. Well, not anymore. That's right, I am a receptionist with a penis. Yesterday was my first day of work, and it got off to a rocky start. My car decided to die. I really hate my car. Lauren had to give me a ride and I was late on my first day. I will be biking for a few weeks now probably.

So after filling out stacks of papers and learning about the HIPPA Heathcare Act for 4.5 hours I was released. Last night I met Rocky, my favorite myspace friend. We saw I <3 Huckabees. This was my second time seeing this film. It is great and only gets better each time I see it. If you have not seen it, please do as soon as possible. I'm not going to get overly-sentimental yet. Just know that Rocky is awesome and i hope to see a lot more of her. Yea.

This was a wicked cool weekend. It consisted of: hanging out with my big brother Tad, the sock-hop at Lin T's, Thai Garden, andJoseph (which was great).

As you can see, I was def enjoying myself at the sock-hop.

Doug wasn't feeling so well what with the laxative and atomic wedgie.

Jonathan was worn out after all the making out he did.

Can you guess who's hiding behind the John Kerry mask?

You dweebs. I guess...
