if you have ever read my posts i have a tendency to get passionate about my theorys, or make light of a serious subject heres a lil about me.
Name - Ben
Age - 22
Country of birth - New Zealand
Most fervent wish - to own a Dodge Viper
Im pretty much your typical Kiwi with a few Indiscrepencies.
When i was 5 (1986) my family moved to Iraq with my father, we moved into Basra where my father was working as a sandblaster. Where his job was
sandblasting the oil tankers and also the silos. He jumped from Basra to Dubai with great frequency advising on blasting operations in most of the
major oil fields. In 1990 when the gulf war broke out our family was sweeped up in the uprising after the war in Basra. after my ather and brother was
arrested by the police as part of the uprising the NZ Diplmat in Dubai came over and organised thier release, my father later learned that all the
people that were arrested with him and my brother were killed or 'went missing'. after the realeses we went back home to NZ and started rebuilding
our lives at home. At 15, 2 years after coming home i left school to do a aprentice ship in butchery, whitch ended badly (see a previous post). whn i
turned 20 i did my big OE and travelled the world going to places i had always wanted to go, unfortunitly it was just after 9/11 so my arrivals at
most countrys were greeted by armed soldiers pointing semi automatics as we got off the planes, the worst would have to have been when i arrived in
LAX airport were i was escorted to a holding cell for 7 days while my background was checked over (curtesy of living in iraq). after receving the
documents showing we fled iraq afer being arrested in the uprising i was let go but had to report in every 3 days to the local police station to prove
where i was. In all reality i understand the measures taken when i was in the States and consider my self lucky to have been able to tour around with
almost complete freedom.
The highlight of my life would have to be when i attended the WWF new years eve party in NY.
The Lowpoint of my life was seeing my father being dragged away by the 'police'.
My Interests are purty much anything that takes my fancy or makes me think, i have studyed in my own time a few of the worlds religins and hope that
one day ill be able to see the big picture.
thanks for reading
