Ben Nemtin
Hey, my name’s Ben because when I was born my parents decided to name me Ben. My hobbies include making sandwiches, collecting clothing that no one else will buy and theme parties. Toted as the “IT guy” of the group because my computer skills are “bad”, I spend most of my time trying to rotate pictures in word documents. I like things, including Christopher Guest movies, short shorts, live music, sunglasses, and rat tails. I guess it’s fair to say that I don’t like to take no for an answer. This has definitely led me into some sh*t, but I’ll take it. Somewhere along the way I learned that if you want something bad enough, it doesn’t matter how many people tell you off. I’m doing this project because my life moves pretty fast and I don’t want to be looking back and realize it’s done. Good chat, see you on the d floor.

Custom Designed ClothesBen! Was great to meet you and your boy band ;).. us yelpers are still talking about. Good luck with #79. I emailed Ellen as I’m always in favor of dancing during the day. Too bad I dont see “Ride on a Vespa round S.F.” on here.. lol.

So we drove past you guys going north on I-5…right past UW. It looked like YOU were driving. You honked at us as we honked at you. I smiled. Now I’m here…checking this out.
MUCH LUCK.

Ryancarry on what your doing, me and my friends started a list like yours, thats how i found ur site
This is in response to your blog regarding not having chosen an instrument to learn to play. Either you or Ben should try playing the dulcimer. Whichever one of you is more “mellow” aka bohemian. The instrument is not mainstream yet it’s got a great sound. The other one of you might want to try the harmonica.
WendyI watched the “Bucket List” Tonight and got inspired. I was diagnosed with a brain tumor last August and would like to start my own list. I ran a search on the Internet and came across your site, truly inspiring. If you are ever in Maine look me up I have many hopes and dreams to share.
RainaThank you
Raina
