Sweet Jesus!

OK, short story is I’m evicted because the City of Torrance has certain regulations about loft apartments in residential areas. I’m more than flat broke and everything is going tits up, so it seems like I’m headed back to Alabama.
I’m also on the verge of seeing my phone being shut off, and with the landlord disconnecting our end of the internet connection, my chances and means of communication are getting stranger by the minute. I’m doing my best to put this all down for some blog posts, but video is nix for a while.
This is real, and it is really hilarious to me, but for now I need to survive. Please donate if you can, because food and communication with the world is important.
The bitch of it all is I don’t even have a guaranteed means to log in and transfer ANY donations if anything arrives.
Don’t think that because some “internet celebrities” have cash to burn, everyone on that site is wiping their asses with iPhones. I’ll tell this story soon and well, but it’s hard to do this stuff with impending chaos.
Your truly Bohemian dancing baboon,
Ben

Awh, damn man. I’m really sorry. I know it changes nothing, but I do wish the absolute best out come for this.

Ugh, Ben, that’s rough. If I had even a penny to spare I would shoot it your way - snail mail. No worries about transfers then! Good luck to you and I’m sending you nothing but good thoughts. Sometimes coming full circle can show us a thing or two. You know what they say about dark clouds…

Hey Ben, I would donate to ya but I just started College and I’m living off of my Student Loan so alass I can’t help you. But Might I make a suggestion. Prehaps you could Crash at Cory’s place for a while or maybe Charles. Because I think they could help ya out till you get enough money together to get back to Alabama. But if I do happen to get a job in the next few weeks I’ll gladly send some money. Not much but ill help. But the exchange rate will probably lessen that because I am a Canadian and we get screwed on the Exchange rates. But I wish you well and I will try to support you if I happen to get a job. - Thowell3

Can cory or charles offer their couch too ya? If you pass through phoenix on your way back to alabama you can crash on my couch for a couple nights. Also, phoenix is really starting to boom with the tech jobs as well as video editing jobs and the like. my # is 602-980-5437.
Be Well.

Man, that is totally disheartening to know about your current situation. Did the deli job not work out for you?
At least, if you’re heading back to Alabama; you’ll be in closer contact with family & friends. We need a happy and creative Boh3m3 back on the web, ASAP!

I’m sorry for what your going through dude. I really wish I could help but my finances are in the crapper as well. All I can say is that I really hope things get better for you soon.

Best of luck to you, Ben.

Holy shit, that’s awful! :/
I hope things work out for you,Ben.

You can always use the internet for free at the public library to check your mail. If you can, get a free voicemail account through google’s grandcentral. You might qualify for project care. If you apply for a job someplace people would want a reliable way to communicate with you.

Shit gets worse before the better can come, but I hope you can keep on your feet.
May the Schwartz be with you!

Hey, I wrote you a kind of nasty comment in response to one of your vlogs (on here) a few weeks ago (which I don’t even know if you read) but I think I finally understand your bitterness, and I completely understand. So, sorry about that.
I was watching TheHill88’s latest blog about Obama and her iPhones and I realized what you were talking about with famous YouTubers flashing expensive, brand name things in their videos, and how it wasn’t unintentional. So I googled it and saw how she won that National Arts Award. That’s such total bullshit I can’t even comprehend it. I used to like her videos because I thought she was funny, but there’s no way in HELL that what she does is art. I may not be the biggest fan of your new work, but I can concede that it’s art because you put a lot of hard work and dedication into it- and it’s meaningful to you.
To see that article stating that she was on the same level as Salvador Dali (my all time favorite artist) made me sick to my stomach – what is the world coming to?!
I can see where it would make someone bitter and angry that a person they used to respect and have a relationship with would become so superficial. So, even though my obnoxious little comment probably made no difference in your life either way (I can’t even find the post I commented on anymore), I apologize and wish you the best of luck with your endeavors. I truly do believe that good things come to those who wait, so if you can weather the storm, you’ll be validated for your hard work someday.

Jesus Harold Christ - What’s wrong with you man??? I was actually a fan of yours and people started bashing you because you were e-begging on youtube and now your doing it again!!! WTF!! Have you ever, ever heard of the concept of earning your OWN money? Getting a job maybe? You lazy mother fucker! I have done everything on my own from finding my own job, my own apt, paying bills, dealing with debt - all on my own. I think its called being a man - try it someday.
