| Introduction | Hello! My name is Benny. I work as a paramedic in Madison, WI. When I'm not busy saving lives, there is a good chance that I am out running somewhere. This is a running blog that I will use to write about my training and anything else that I feel like writing about. |
| Interests | My favorite activity is running. Other hobbies include: reading, playing the piano, listening to music, cribbage, drawing, being outside, cheering on the Green Bay Packers, eating chocolate, and collecting bottle caps. I (probably) have the world's greatest bottle cap collection—I've got millions. |
| Favorite movies | Some of my favorite movies include: Cool Hand Luke, The Wicker Man, Tommy Boy, Slap Shot, Scent of a Woman, Blue Velvet, River’s Edge, Psycho, Creepshow, Basket Case, Donnie Darko, Bright Lights Big City, There’s Something About Mary, The Last Picture Show, and The Wizard of Oz. |
| Favorite music | I love music and I devour as much of it as I can. Music of every style,era and genre. If I had to pick a favorite band, I think I'd go with XTC. There is so much that I love about XTC: their misfit awkwardness, their omnipresent humor, their gleeful mishmashing of irresistible pure-pop catchiness and seriously out-there ideas, their creative ambition, all the clever little references to the music they love, and their Englishness—a very particular timeless, rural and small-town, rather than London-cool, Englishness. |
| Favorite books | I like to read. I don't have a favorite book—there are way too many to list. Some of my favorite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Robertson Davies, Stephen King, Rosemary Timperley, Shirley Jackson, Louis Sachar, Shel Silverstein, and Roald Dahl. |
