30k Profiles: Benjamin David Paul

Here it is! The Thirtythousanddollarmillionaire profile of the week! This local environmentalist puts it all out there when it comes to living the 30KM life.



My motto is: If it's half as good as the half we've known, here's Hail! to the rest of the road.


Childhood ambition: At first I wanted to be an astronaut, then a fireman, and then I decided I liked Mother Nature and hated fire too much to do either one of those so I became an Ecologist instead. Hippie for hire if you will. Soon enough I will be able to plant Mars with prairie grasses and burn said prairies to aid in their establishment and BAM, I get to do all three.


Favorite cocktail: Manhatten, extra splash of bitters, 3 cherries. I'm an old man at heart. It just fits so well with a cardigan and a pipe.

Favorite place to grab a cocktail: Bang for your buck: The Alley Cat, they serve shots in rocks glasses. Prissy pants: McCormick & Schmick's, a little pricey but not prohibitively on a 30K budget and damn their stuff is T-A-S-T-Y tasty.


Cheap eats: It will never ever get better than Yats. Hands down, no contest. Half and Half B&B with Crawfish etoufee, mmmm.


Cheap thrill: I'm known for going on "journeys" when the Devil makes me. Thrill? Yes, definately. Cheap? Depends where Iv'e been drinking.


Favorite thing about Indy in the summer: This is my busy season. I get to plant trees and play outside all day long and get paid for it.


Fav type of music: It is much easier to just say that I am not a big fan of rap music or country. Everything else is fair game. Weezer is the best. Toby Keith is the worst.


Looking forward to this summer: Working. That's really all I have to look forward to in summers. Jay slash Kay, I can't wait for some BBQ bonanzas, perhaps a grill off much like the great chili cook-off of `08...

On my days off you’ll find me: Doing what I do for a living. When I'm off the clock though, I may be inclined to yell at people for littering.


You might be surprised to know: I was in the circus. I was also a cheerleader in high school and college. One time I also sharted in my sleep.


Favorite websites: woot.com weather.gov


Best advice anyone has given me: Don't count the days, make the days count. An inspirational note my mom wrote for me on a notebook my first day of high school


Favorite party memory: Seeing Puppy-Bear-Beretta eat the 12 marshmallows Joey rocketed out of his mouth shortly after she ate a nest, yes the entire nest, of baby mice. Joey won the "Who can stuff the most mallow in their mouth contest" by the way.


Favorite way to be green: Um, this question doesn't really suit me. My job makes me green by nature (HA, PUN!) and I am so incredibly passionate about sustainability it drives everyone I know a bit crazy I think.


Thirtythousanddollarmillionaire is: almost the best website name. We will have to update the blog with the best website name in a DP story soon enough.

DPs make me feel: like laughing every time I hear the phrase. Again, look for an update to the blog with DTM's hilarious unfamiliarity of the phrase.

Favorite recipe: Pie-YAY-YEAH! (really though, paella, it is just so exiting I had to express it phoenetically and with extreme emotion.)
