So this is it. I started to blog……

As much as I can’t stand pretentious bellends that are symptomatic of this activity I decided that I would be a good idea to have a static medium to update anyone that cares to know what I am up to without having to actively talk to them. Seems reasonable enough. After seeing Pablo’z massive update I made the leap and I will try to keep this current with info on what matters to me, which means it matters to you.

On the title, as an alternative to bitch ass coffee I like to drink tea before my 3:30 engineering economics class which is poorly situated in the one room on campus that has continually put me to sleep in every class that I have there. OHE 122 for those in the know. It has an HVAC system to absolutely dominates your body and having class following my lunch time makes sleep inevitable. I have had problems with caffeine in the past, I used to take nitrous supplements before working out and this would rape my body to the point I had to stop. For some reason the small amount in the tea still likes to remind my stomach just what I drank. Risk and reward.

On the second part of the title. My Grandmother, the caucasian side for those who may be confused, sent me a box of her one of a kind cookies in her typical packaging. This packaging means that she sends me a standard cardboard box with a bag filled with popcorn, not packaging foam corn the real edible deal. Proctected by the corn were four ziploc bags of cookies which, after opening the packaged and not being surprised, immediately transfered the cookies to a ziploc container since the corn leaves an annoying greasy residue on the bags. I mentioned the cookies because I was watching mythbusters, not very interesting tonight, and I had a headache. Even though I had a delicious dinner; farfalle carbonara (without bacon, so I don’t know what it is called) with shiitakes, tofu, and onions in a red wine reduction. Even after all this, and my nightly hit of low-sodium v8 and multi-vitamins (pronounced in the Bear Grylls’ English) I diagnosed myself with having the headache due to lack of food. What this boils down to is that I ate some cookies.

Ok, I have a lot more to write about so anticipate greatness. Upcoming: Ben’s adventures in the stock market, Ben’s work situation, Ben’s workout situation, and more!
