Introduction

I'd love to think that over time fans will flock to this blog in order to read my latest musing on popular culture or chuckle at a random diatribe about one of my food philosophies, but I realize there is very little I can share about the world that has not been said by someone funnier, fancier, and famouser (yes, in my blog I can revise the rules of grammar). The concept of starting a blog is in and of itself an unoriginal idea. The fact that my Dean of Students has beaten me to the blogosphere by many years is both embarrassing and unsettling. My blog title says it all....it's been done before...and my name is Ben. Clever, right?

And so, since the minimal traffic I expect to get will be limited to my Dean of Students, who will be simply checking out who mentioned his blog, and my mother a couple times of day, what I elect to put into words will likely be for me alone.

So Ben, I hope you enjoy it.

Oh, and...hi Mom!
