Stuff You Might Care
to Know about Ben

Or
(Shameless Self-Promotion in Action...)

Well, this is me! (Er, make that "a computer-generated version of me, thereof," There are just some aspects of me that have to be conveyed in person...)
(Yeah, yeah, this looks like the SW credit screen... I know... I'm incorrigible...)

Let me start by divulging a bit about Yours Truly:

Personal Info:

Name: Benjamin Allan Amos

DOB: Sept. 19, 1975

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 160 lbs.

Vitals: 39-30-40 (Oops! That's what goes on the Playmate Data Sheet, no???)

Sundry info: Um... I've got essentially-blonde hair, I own a terribly-large number of Sarah McLachlan CDs, and, uh, I have many working parts...

Silliest picture of me that looks nothing like me: (Note: This 1997 picture of me shows how goofy a 21 year old can look when placed beside a supermodel. But hey, if a guy's willing to put his worst picture imaginable on the web, he's probably pretty confident in his good looks.... (Thank God I'm out of that look!!! Praise be Great Clips!) Anyway, that travesty can be found HERE).

Favorite Word: "marmoset" (There's just something about it that makes me grin. Say it. "Marmoset." Are you grinning??? See... Told you...)

Favorite Non-existent Ad Campaign: "Weasel. The OTHER yellow meat."

Variegated and Random Knowledge of
That Which Is Ben Amos

• Although I could have been found at L'Hotel Chat under many guises, (not the least of which have been Vega(m), Infinite Jester, Lightsaber-tooth Tiger, Jedi Knightfall, Jedi Apprentice, Jedi Mind Trickster and others), My "all-true ego" is that of a Benjamin Allan Amos. (I simply go by "Ben," more often than not, but the I.R.S. insists on calling me by my full name, and hearing "Benjamin Allan!!!" as a child immediately clued me into the fact that I was in big trouble. Which is probably why the I.R.S. calls me that, too...)
  

  Until 1998, I was a fourth-year student at Kennesaw State University, just outside of Atlanta, GA. I left school when the pain of change became less than the pain of staying in the same rut I'd found myself in. (NOTE: I said "left school," not "quit." The difference is when you quit school, you tell people, sign papers, etc.. I did none of these. I simply stopped going after dropping a chemistry class that had its origins in the innermost circle of Hell).

  I am a total Star Wars fan in every sense of the word. (Mainly that "fan" is short for "fanatic...") I have tons of irrelevant SW info to pass on, but I'm certain that I can find stuff of importance to post, for my main interest is conveying my true love for the saga, not staying up to all hours of the day/night listing shield ratings for all six types of TIE Fighters... I'll leave that up to the sterile, cold-fish Star Trek people... (Point of clarification, though, TIEs don't have shields, anyway... I'm not doing that sort of thing for a deep respect of the essence of SW, not because of lack of knowledge... At one point, I'd had my favorite SW trivia page here, the one at U. of Texas, but it's gone the way of Alderaan, I fear... "What do you mean? Where is it???!" "That's what I'm trying to tell you, kid. It ain't there. It's been totally blown away." Oh well... Guess I'll have to find another worthy trivia site... Most likely I'll do my own...)

  

  I have a penchant for quoting lines from Star Wars, as many know, and I'm often questioned as to exactly WHAT good any of this is going to do me. Well, I've done my homework, and that's why with the help of a poster in the Star Wars Insider, I've published,
  All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Star Wars. Give it a look, why don't you? Worth your while will it be.
  

  

  I'm guessing that this wouldn't be too thorough a look into me without mention of my favorite television show of all time, Mad About You.
  I'd like to say that the fifth season, with Jamie's pregnancy, had been just as compelling as the first four, but I don't lie. It bit. As much as I love Helen Hunt, I cannot wholeheartedly say that she was the most-qualified for the Best Leading Actress in a Comedy Series Emmy this year, but hey, when I'm a member of the Academy I can pick & choose 'em as I see them... Thankfully enough, the show's gotten funny again, now that Baby Mabel has been born. ("Baby Mabel," you say? yeah, it's a fairly archaic name, I'll agree, but you had to see the first episode for this season. It's an acronym for a phrase Jamie's mom told her and Paul: "Mothers Always Bring Extra Love...")
  I really see no point, whatsoever, in having a website that's just like everybody else's, regarding page content. (I'll not go into Helen Hunt's filmography, and nowhere will you ever find me condoning or lauding The Quarterback Princess. I'm certain that if I were friends with Ms. Hunt, and we knew each other quite well, then she'd forgive MY past indiscretions, so I'm giving her the same courtesy...)

  ANYWAY... As you might expect, the majority of the stuff would be regarding the cast, progression in the show, and most importantly how I plan on seeking revenge against Paul Reiser, for already doing the movie that I WAS going to write!!! (That's okay, though. I'm working on a deliciously-autobiographical teleplay for MAY, that'll sate this vengeance complex quite nicely, I believe...)
  

  At some point, I'd had a blurb about the MAY soundtrack CD, with Faith Hill, Anita Baker, and a good number of others on there, but now that it's been released, then I don't have to tell you that Sarah McLachlan's on there, too, with "Ice Cream," from the Fumbling Towards Ecstasy album, huh?

  

  At any rate, this is pretty much who I am... (For the time being, of course... Should anything drastic occur, I'll certainly do all that I can to keep any and all interested up to date...)
  

  Thanks for stopping by my humble abode. ("Mudhole? Slimy?? My home this is...") You'll find my e-dress on the galaxy page. Feel free to mail me for any sort of input, etc.. If it's worth much of anything, I'm always looking for really unusual SW stuff to include here, so if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!
  

  Oh, Look! You're in luck, here's an X-Wing headed by just in time to give you a ride back to the Galaxy. Excellent timing. Just click on the X-Wing, and you'll make the jump back to my main page. May the Force Be with You...
