I'm about to break down... (get it? fall BREAK?)

Hey y'all. I'm about to go to work, for about 7 hours tonight. Its a pretty substantial shift, if I do say so myself. Afterwards, I will be going on a little journey to Grand Rapids, Michigan, with my good friend Eric Fisher. It will be an awesome trip, filled with giddiness and maybe some concerts and tattoos. We will see.

I just wanted to write in here quick and say a few things, because I realized that I haven't written in here for a bit. I'm still alive, I assure all of the few that read this, and I plan on writing more in the future. I've just been really busy as of late. I got a new job at Starbucks, which is cool, so that's been a big time hog with me getting trained and everything. I'm also trying to be a vegetarian... again. Eric and I have decided that we didn't eat THAT much meat anyway, and it would be healthier for us to just try going veggie. So we're about a week in and I actually feel pretty dang good.

I've also been noticing lately how much America is enslaved to food. I will now work a shift and drink a venti glass of soy milk for dinner and be fine. And you know what? I realized that drinking soy milk for a meal is fine. Because I have plenty of reserves in my body that I don't realized, and my stomach is only accustomed to eating three times a day. When my stomach growls, it isn't hungry. It's just letting me know that "Hey, Ben, you're not eating when you normally do! That's kind of weird." So many people (including myself) have this mindset of "if I want to have a good time, I should eat something." It's my goal to rid myself of that annoying nuisance of a mindset. It can only hinder us as a culture, not help us. So that's my goal.

Also, it's cooler today and I'm listening to Brand New. I went to all of my classes, and I have been blessed with amazing friends and an absolutely gorgeous female friend. The Lord is good.
