As I am plan to blog more, I thought it would be appropriate to lay out few ground rules:

1. This blog is written by me and for me. You are welcome to read it and comment but please understand that this is my world and you’re just a squirrel…
2. My topics will vary depending on my mood, current surrounding, dating habbits, employment status and overall blood sugar level. When reading, please keep in mind the time and place each post was crafted.
3. I will be as honest as possible. There are somethings I can’t even admit to myself. For example, in benjshap-land, the University of California will be referred to in as both “we” and as the penultimate collegiate athletic program.
4. Sometimes I use big words even though I’m not totally positive what they mean (IE: penultimate). It’s my blog and I want to feel smart, so please don’t call me on my mistake.
5. I’m a terrible speller. If you are reading this to learn more about me for a background check, please know that I am fully capable of using the spell check, but for personal stuff it’s just a waste of time.
6. Sometimes things are that simple.
7. Sometimes things are really complex.
8. I’m generally a good guy. I’m also a realist. If agree to not confuse this with me being an asshole, I’ll let you keep reading. Deal?
9. There are a few absolute truth that will never change (IE: my family is really important, so don’t even thing of fucking with them!)
10. I am pretty much the same person at work and at home, however there are times when I’d prefer the two do not overlap. Please respect that.
11. I plan on using this blog to for a few purposes: a) To keep track of life events. b) To get “stuff” off my chest. c) To show things I am proud of even thought it may be considered bragging (See rule 1). d) To discuss things I think are important or interesting.
12. This blog is going to be very pro-Benjamin Shapiro and by that, I don’t mean the jerk who wrote Porn Generation. I am the real Benjamin Shapiro.

Happy Reading,
