CURRENT MISSION

I'm here to dance!

ABOUT ME

"Shall we begin like David Copperfield? I am born, I grew up?"

I am Ben Covington - reversed. He has long flowing hair. I am beautifully bald. He gets into fist fights. My words are my weapons. He started off as a cool guy with no clue what he wanted to do professionally, then finally decided to be a medic. I started off with few friends and no cool factor wanting to be a medic, then realized my career meant nothing to me compared to wanting to get some social skills. Also, I'm pretty sure Ben can't dance.

Oh, the list goes on...

PHILOSOPHY

You should be dancing.

Favorite Quotations:

"Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither." - C.S. Lewis

"Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived." - Meet Joe Black

"What's the secret to staying happily married for 55 years?"
"We always made sure our feet touched at night." - Aunt Walby

"If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me."

"'A learning experience is one of those things that say, 'You know that thing you just did? Don't do that.'" - Douglas Adams

"If I found a place that made me feel like Tiffany's...well, then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name." --Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast At Tiffany's
