No. Benglish is a special form accessible only by Ben in a higher state of intoxia.

(I just made up the word intoxia, so it counts as a word now, k? k.)

I've never been apricable enough...

I can hardly understand english, and you want me to understand engrish and benglish, two of the hardest variations of it. :P

You doing another corporate gig Blank? You'll never get respect just working the boring corporate jobs. Sure they're easy, no 1AM load out, but hey, that's what this life is all about man.

Dude, I'm not freelance, I don't get to pick and choose my gigs. I go where they send me.

Also, there are SEVERAL 1 am load outs. Or later

Join the freelance club. I'm really excited about a few offers in the works for some serious touring. We'll see how it goes.

Cheers

Unfortunately I'm not formally trained, and to be honest, I'm simply not good enough to be freelance.

Someday, maybe. I just want to do studio work anyway, though that would require me moving from Calgary.
