Day 1: Introductions

Aha! Of course, another new blogger to the blogosphere (as if we didn't have enough, I know). And just like the other thousands upon thousands upon thousands, I shall choose to introduce myself with the first post. About 3 months ago, I asked a mysterious texter for name, rank, and why the chicken crossed the road. She referred to herself as Juliet, rank not nearly as high as mine, and the only reason anyone would cross the road would be if I was on the other side. How trite.

I shall do better! I am Benjamin Gathright, and welcome to the Stumbler's Paradise. I have named my little corner of the interweb such for one reason and one alone: As bright or intelligent as I may seem, I am not a creator. I am merely a stumbler, one of many who stumble upon quite accidentally something that matters. This is where I bring all of my stumblings, to share the paradise I have found knowing that one other piece of my life has meaning, and can be figured out logically. Each post has the potential to be self-explanatory, very puzzling, or maybe if I'm extremely lucky, I can show you a trick that may or may not blow your mind.

Truth is, this is not really so much for you as it is for me. I am a writer by hobby, not by trade. Writing to me is not to give something to the world; it is to find the inner depths of myself as I begin the journey to figure out who I really am. This world is a dark place, and yet I live in it. I am he who characterizes himself by his tragic faults, his failures, and sometimes his successes. Success is never enough for me. I must become THE BEST. Not ONE of the Best. But The. Best.

Enter if you dare, for you may or may not be comfortable with what you encounter here within.
