Books, Books and... Books.
Blimey, the tag feature on Tumblr is certainly working now. From just 2 quotes from Terry Pratchett last night, tagged appropriately, I’ve had around 15 reblogs, 20 likes and 2 new followers. It’s been a good day for Ben on Tumblr. I feel I have to keep this up now or I might disappoint my two new followers. The Terry Pratchett quotes were simply because I could not be arsed, and...

I Can Still See My Toes (For Now)
I’d like to see a before and after shot of me from before I started at McDonald’s and now. Just a belly shot. There was a point, about two years ago, when I had the beginnings of definition around the abs. It was flat. Now I seem to find myself sucking it in a lot to reassure myself that I can still see my toes. It’s not my fault food is so tasty and exercise is so boring. I...

Warning: Lighthearted Morbidity
Right now, sitting here, on my bed, in front of the computer screen, wearing boxers and a tee shirt, having not moved for closer to two hours, my chest feels like there’s an angry woodpecker inside attempting to escape through knocking away at my innards. I’m working on my analogies. But seriously, something’s definitely up with me. You know that cliché saying “my heart...

Home Away From Home
I’m at Ryan’s, it’s approaching silly o’clock in the morning, and I feel like writing something on this here space. Unfortunately, as is generally the case nowadays, I am uninspired. Jake hasn’t said anything suitably amusing to stir aspirations of humorous blogging. Shame on him. I have been prematurely forced to contemplate my own mortality today, or rather...

Reasons I'm "Naturally Lethargic"
I seem to have lost the will to write recently. I currently think this is because I lead such an uninteresting life that there is little to inspire me into literary creativity. Don’t get me wrong, I like life - I think it’s fairly stupid if you don’t, ‘cause you’re stuck with it - but it’s not exactly fighting crime, saving damsels in distress or even leaving...

A Post
So Darren has something to read. You probably won’t know what this is from or have any idea what’s going on, but this is one of the most epic scenes in any film, programme or cartoon ever.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the final scene of Code Geass season one.   Suzaku: turn and face me…very slowly, didn’t you hear me, zero, i said turn and face me, very slowly ...

(UN)Exciting 101st Post
My 100th post was unfortunately spent on the other day on replying to an angry reader who disagreed with my views on photography. Which, in fact, is not an art. This also annoyed a very good friend of mine, I think, as she also left an angry reply, although not going so far as to reblog and poke fun at me. This little debate is the most fun I’ve had on Tumblr yet! I’m disappointed he...
