Ah, the 1st post of a new blog. How lovely.
Not entirely unlike the 1st bite of a freshly microwaved Moon Pie, is it..?
I suppose we should begin this thing formally...
My name is Benjamin Scott Dennis.
As of this very moment, I am 30 years of age, trapped somewhere between youthful vigor and elderly haggardness...
I live with my delightful wife and 4(!) ever-entertaining children in the badlands of southern Missouri. It's here, in this unforgiving wasteland that we live our lives in fear, each and every day. Fear? Yes! Fear... of the hundreds upon hundreds of cymbal playing monkeys that live here, just below the Earth's surface,... awaiting nightfall. It's then that their reign of terror begins anew, every evening...
Aside from the cymbal playing monkeys and all of the locust plagues, it's really not all that bad here.
I spend my days toiling to make a living for my family, in the dank, dingy pharmacy inside our local Wal-Mart store... It's here that I'm beaten mercilessly with barbed wire wrapped potatoes and forced to dispense prescription medication to the most despicable of souls. Each ready to, without warning, thrust kick me in the larynx to gain their pain pills a day sooner that they're allowed...
While it's a good job, and rarely am I forced to put my head inside the land shark's mouth before being allowed to leave anymore,... I'm afraid this is not my passion.
No sir. For, I'm an ambitious go-getter who wants more from life. MUCH MORE!
See, I long to be a professional comic book creator or character designer for a major animation studio. Either gig would swell my chest with pride and get me that much closer to being able to afford treatment for my debilitating case of radioactive ringworm...
So, I'll be using this blog to keep regular updates of me, on my path to super-stardom, as well as my mentally fragile cries for help...
So, until next I blog, remember this. I'm Ben Dennis, and I'd like you much better if you were too...
