And a year later…. October 11, 2010. I’m going to try and post more regularly to this, given that I just paid ten dollars to keep benjacoby.net registered to its rightful (and somewhat handsome) owner. Also, for some reason, there are still five or so hits per day consistently registering here. For kicks, here are some of the Google search terms that drove people to my site (and my comments):. Don’t drink in college (nice). Short story of a man a woman and a flowe (typo intentional). From → Blog. Notify ...

The best looks | Ben Jacoby
https://benjacoby.net/2011/03/19/the-best-looks
March 19, 2011. It’s very obvious when someone opens the front door of my apartment building. You have to wave your little ID card in front of the electronic eye about three seconds longer than you should. You start to put your card away, but you realize the door still hasn’t unlocked. You move the card back to the electronic eye but before it gets there, the door beeps and unlocks. Crap, you think I’ll remember this next time. The person inside the elevator obviously hears you. Not the look referenced i...

The Thirteenth War – Short Story. July 1, 2010. Another story from my writing club. Let me know how you feel. He loads a bullet into his rifle and pulls a pack of cigarettes from his holey denim jacket. As he lights one, he wonders whether he loves his country. He decides he does not. He is not religious either – if his family discovered his tattoo, were they still alive, he would certainly not be allowed home. He is sitting on a rickety stool and tries to answer a question. In primary school, he wrote a...

https://benjacoby.net/2010/12/23/novel-vacation-hell-yes
December 23, 2010. I know I said I would post more regularly to this, so I apologize to myself (and the five people who visit this site every day, God knows why) for not doing so. I’ve actually been pretty busy finishing my book. If you have a Kindle, you could (and should) buy it for five dollars. If you don’t have a Kindle, not only are you living in the nineties, but you can download a free Kindle for PC app. And use that to read it. You can also download a free one-hundred page sample. Anyways, you h...

Generally, what you’ll find here can be broken down into a few categories. I take the first two a little more seriously than the third, but I like drawing stick figures, so the comics will be staying. Also, I make music. I’m in a band called Renegade Escapade, and you can find our stuff here. You could categorize us as alt-rock , but that doesn’t really fit, since I guarantee we don’t sound like anyone else. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

A Facebook identity crisis. May 10, 2010. When I was younger, I enjoyed using Facebook. I interacted with distant high school friends and learned more about the people I was meeting at college. Facebook was a means to an end using Facebook made my real-life social experience better. What is it now? What is bothering you right now? I bet you miss someone right now,’ the survey asks. Is that even a question? In short Facebook is becoming a culturally accepted form of narcissism, a means to broadcast though...
