Ask Boh3m3! 10/14/08
by boh3m3 on Oct.14, 2008, under Ask Boh3m3
Welcome to the first ever edition of “Ask Boh3m3!”
I put out a bulletin on Myspace asking for your questions and a good bunch of you got back to me.
From now on, you’ll be able to submit questions to me via the form embedded on each of these “Ask Boh3m3!” entries.
So without further ado, THE QUESTIONS!!! Dun dun DUUUUUUUUN!
Dear Boh3m3,
I just turned 19 recently and I have been wondering about being an “adult”
I can legally buy porn, vote, smoke, be sent to prison, drink in canada and fuck people way older than me.
Society says I am an adult…but am I really physically adult?-Confused in Canada
That’s a tough question. I suppose that boils down to what YOU think. Sounds like a cop-out answer… and it is!
But basically I have to agree with society in that at the age of 19 you are pretty much as physically developed as you’re going to be beyond childhood.
As for buying porn, voting, smoking, being sent to prison, drinking and fucking the elderly I would advise you to use your own judgement (and possibly email me naked photos, kthnx).
Thanks for writing!
Dear Boh3m3,
I’ve often wondered why you go through phases of pure joy, and phases of pure sadness and depression?
[Flattery omitted for brevity and bashfulness]
Sincerly,
-Mad in Michigan
There are two special terms for going through phases of intense joy and pure sadness: one is being a teenager. The other is, of course, being bipolar. Of course it’s not black-and-white like that, but chances are you’re just young and riddled with angst. I was for a long time, like my father and his father before him (scary images to yours truly).
I wish I had advice beyond the normal cliche here, but I’m a bit at a loss. What worked for me was heavy metal, moping in the dark writing horribly stupid Goth poetry and finding hobbies. Looking back, I would suggest just finding hobbies.
Try boxing. It’ll help you get un-pissed (let’s face it, depression is anger without enthusiasm) by beating up bags and sweating. It’s good for your body, too!
Thanks for writing!
Dear Boh3m3,
What was your first sexual experiance like?
-Randy in Richmond
Sad. It was sad. Next question!
Boh3m3,
Do you like mudkipz?
-Poasting in an Epic Thread in Portland
No, but I herd u do.
Dear Boh3m3,
How many marriage proposals have you had so far since you started “Ask Boh3m3″?
If your response is ‘none’ then wait and answer me in a week.
-Waiting For Marriage in Maryland
Thankfully none. And in spite of the sweet nature of your offer, I wouldn’t wish marriage on my dearest enemy.
My impression of the whole thing is that when things like love and affection are put under the pressure of a contractual LEGAL obligation it tends to crush the life out of both.
So let’s all go hippy without the funk and make free love… right after we cure all known STDs.
Thanks for writing!
Dear Boh3m3,
Do you think you’re smart?
Sincerely,
-Curious in Chicago
Normally statements like that end up with me either getting arrested, beaten, or both. I WILL say that I know how to feed myself and have sex, which seems to be all you need in order to vote in this country.
Thanks for writing!
Dear Boh3m3,
I watched your “older” vid about “brainpoops”, and I wanted to know how you remember the quadratic formula/equation?
-Dividing Variables in Vermont
With my brain.
That’s it for the first “Ask Boh3m3!”

This “Ask Boh3m3!” question & answer section seems like a pretty cool idea. It’s like a Stickam or BlogTV chat, but one-on-one and less competitive with users that use large, flashy fonts and spam incessantly.
I decided to send you a question. Don’t worry, it’s either a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ one. Nothing controversial.

Good idea B. As always, when put on the spot I can think of NOTHING to ask you - goddamnit!

im so excited i feel like i need to ask you a question…but i have apparently gone daft in my excitement.
October 16th, 2008 on 12:35 am
This is a pretty neat idea,but I couldn’t think of anything really meaningful to ask you,so I just went with the first that came to mind…:)
Haha,Ben,I forgot my “Dear Boh3m3″
Could you please edit that in when/if you answer it? :p I don’t want to come off as a rude bitch. I just forgot my manners for a split second…!

Waaait a second… LIES! Lies and deceit! I know I saw something on your press page…
- - - She kept on sending me these weird emails and I just kept on ignoring them for a while until one day I saw “Wedding Information” in the subject line and that’s when I went “Oh, shit I got to stop this right now.” - - -
It may not exactly be a proposal, but I think her intentions were clear.

I remember that creepy stalker girl.
I actually feel bad for her…she was in some strange/obsessive, unrequited love with you, she couldn’t do anything about it…and you apparently didn’t want her.
I wonder if she’s over you by now.
Now I actually want to know if you ever spoke to her on You Tube or something…or hit on her by accident. Perhaps you said something like “Fuck you”, and she took it wrong?

Psst… Mrs Boh3m3 has commented on a more recent post… she’s back!

Dear Boh3m3 (Ben)
I have more of a comment - ive been watching your videos for awhile now and i honestly think you have a lot of talent. I always wanted to tell you, do something that you want to do instead of for others, and i see you are now doing just that.
It can be very hard to produce something you enjoy and when you show somebody what you have done, not only do they dislike it, they tear it apart!!
The thing is Ben - you have got something that not alot of people have and they all want it. Your intellect, humor and imagination brings people to your videos every day. Dont worry about others who leave nasty comments, who wonder where your videos went or bitch why your not making videos like you used to.
If your not happy then your not happy. I mean its just the internet - entertainment.
I just hope you understand that you can’t please everyone so dont. I was thinking of posting some videos on youtube as well but havnt got the nerve yet.
But you did and they turned out great. I can also understand your critism of them as well - we are all our own worst critics
On a side note and please forgive me if this was said to you a million times but your old videos in my humble opinion got you here today. If they were that bad - no one would watch you. You have people scrambling to find your latest video because they have been following you the whole way. Im not trying to build you up, but you have a great sense of humour which i think is the #1 reason people watch you. You may have made some of your old videos for one reason or another but you came across honest and real and people relate to that. And you know what - what ever you make - habadashery or not - people will come to see you. If you think about it - your videos were as bad as you think.
something to ponder over. Anyways thanks for reading
Hope you do whatever it is that makes you happy - in the end that is all that counts.
Good Luck in everything you do
Alex
