Name:

J. Benjamin Gotow

Interests:

running, digital photography, computer programming, web design and broadcast media, 2D and 3D animation.

I strive to look forward, feel the wind in my face, enjoy the journey, and make people feel like they're not alone. I'm in it for the long haul, and always will be.

Occupation:

Student and *very* freelance web designer.


Possible Majors:

Biomechanical Engineering, Child Psychology? Now that'd be a weird double major.

 

And some more, just for fun.

Favorite game? Hmm... Halo, Medal of Honor or Age of Mythology I guess. I don't have an XBox or anything - I just play computer games.

Favorite class? US History for sure. It's not that I like US History any more than anything else, Captain Brown is just great.

Ever been anywhere on a plane? Nope. I wish! Been in this time zone my entire life...

Pick up the closest book and write a sentence from it. Oh lord... let's see: I'm actually sitting at my desk next to an SAT prep book, but I'm never opening that thing again (unless I have too). Okay. Here we go - Lies Arcross America: "Americans like to remember only the positive things, and communities like to publicize the great things that happened in them. One result is silliness: the first airplane was invented not by the Wright Brothers, but by Rev. Burrell Canon, and the first flight was not from Kitty Hawk, but in Pittsburg Texas.

Do you like having your picture taken? Haha - no. Not at all. But if it's for a good reason I'll let you... I don't bite.

Have you ever been in a professional photo shoot? Mmm - yeah, a couple. I've done semi-professional photo shoots for school too! Kaylors class...

Would you put posters up in your room? Yeah. I tried forever to find a matchbox twenty poster - never did get one.

Can you sing? Haha. NO.

What's your favorite color post-it note? Yellow - most def.

What's your favorite saying? "If they give you lined paper, write the other way." - Fahrenheit 451

Is your VCR flashing 12:00 all the time? God I hate those things... Do they actually have clocks? I think mine is just a sticker...

Are you addicted to Napster? Nope. Quality sucks, takes too long, can never find anything. I use the iTMS (no surprise here).

Do you know how to play dominoes? No. I just line 'em up and knock 'em down...

Are you a vegetarian? No. But i was for a little while...

What movie can you watch and say the lines along with the actors? ! Napoleon Dynamite :-) - *GOSH! flipping idiot..."

Describe your favorite food: Sushi - whatever kind is fine. Or some fresh fruit, if you're not one of those sushi people.

What is the best present someone has given you? Digital camera for sure.

What's the largest age difference between you and someone you've dated? Uhh... 1 year and 2 months? å

What do you believe in? Believe in god, but not in the dogma of organized religion.

What's one thing you would change about yourself if you had the power to do so? Mm.. slowness in acting on my feelings...

What is your best quality? Patience i guess - with everything but computers.

Have you ever gotten lost? Yes. And it was the maps fault.

What's on your computer desk? Camera stuff, my laptop, speakers, a couple books, and some photos.

Which landmark would you climb if you could? lol - Mount Rushmore :-) lots of people can climb everest... Now rushmore, that's more like it...

How many files are on your desktop right now? 7.

Do you have, or have you ever read any self help books? lol - there's a copy of "Why Your Life Sucks" sitting on my desk - haven't read it yet though.

Have you ever been on TV or radio? I think I was in the background once..

How high have you counted before getting bored? haha... into the thousands i think - while I was running.

What is the most expensive thing you own? Camera - Nikon D100 :-D

Have you ever read a book and not understood it? Yeah - Catch 22

Are you easily influenced by other people or current trends? Only a few people ;-)

Would you ever leave notes to a girlfriend? Yeah... have :-)

Ever been to a farm? Haha - lived on one for 5 years

What in your opinion is the best advertising slogan? Hmm... I think it's a draw between the Apple "Think Different" campaign and the Geico Gecko stuff...

When they start sending rockets to the moon, will you be on the list of people to go? No - don't want to leave this planet. Looks like some people at 7-Up do though.

Do you own any plants? I have a couple little tiny cactuses in my room, but all but one of them are dead (yes - i know, i killed a cactus), and i think the other one is plastic.

Say something about yourself you've never told anyone before... Inca Terns rock my socks.


...Life is like falling off a bridge. Some people look at the ground and panic - spend their entire life waiting for the impact. Others are too blind to see the bottom and live exciting, fast paced lives. The third group see the ground rushing toward them and make the most of their time. They feel the wind in their face, and relish the feeling without fear. I strive to reach an understanding of life that doesn’t ruin life itself. Sometimes when you’re on a journey you can feel the wind in your face and it makes you smile. And that makes it worth it...
