What an awesome vacation. Wait, did he just change shirts again??

This is it, The Story I've been trying to tell for a few months now. I made a rather moody prototype about a month ago that was mostly my emotional perspective and glossed over a lot of facts and events, but I decided if I was going to tell The Story, I might as well tell all of it. This started as a description of the end of my marriage (yes, watch the video), but to tell the whole thing I had to go back a bit- but in retrospect, a 5-year story works out well. Bear in mind that this is a story of my REAL life, not my career, not my crazy family's story, or any (meh, much) stuff like that. Still, I think it would make a pretty damn good book, if told right- very Douglas Coupland, I think. I'm pretty proud of the work, the editing, and the narration. There are about three no-no's that I commit, but not many people will catch them, so I'm not worried. THIS has been the project I've been pouring my creative energy into for a while, so now that it's released, I can get on to other business, and make some new creative short movies and stuff. Well, enough talk. Enjoy, Ben p.s. btw, the Rocky & Bullwinkle logo is taken from (and is available at) www.tshirthell.com

Come 2am, the bluegrass jam at the cabin can get a little out of the box... My camera runs out of batteries after a while- sorry!

practicing some of my worst accents makes for a great AfterDark-like episode. Ha!

the coolest domicile ever!

Rob owes me big. But its all good.

Our funk/jazz/fusion band tears it up live at the local coffeehouse. What better way to tear it up than some James Brown?

Music and Shirt by Mad Caddies. Gum for oral fixation, patch for chemicals.

original: Tommy Iommi arrangement: Bonerama adaptation: Ben Yamasaki this is what happens when trombone players want to be cool :)

a boss of mine found me online, so I thought I'd give a shout-out. Hi Drew!

random musings, Cold Fusion vid will be up soon, and some books... and then we all sit around and sing Salty Dog

An original comedy. I have some trouble with my clone. Very Calvin & Hobbes-esque.

Rob and I get drunk (surprise), work out some moves, get more drunk, and film it. Peace, Bitches. Show Charlie Murphy your titties!

My roomie and I got drunk and did a music video for a song we wrote a year ago while drunk. Appropriate, neh? We compete for Daisy's love, but learn an important lesson in the end.

Rob... no, there are no words for Rob. (he gives me the jibblies sometimes)

I have a weird day, but I can't really get into it yet. I introduce Amanda. The guys serve up some Punk Rock Breakfast.
