I am a genius. I drag myself out of my warm bed and get ready for work. I step out into the frigid air and bitterly drive to work. I arrived. I was not scheduled today. They gave me a free biscuit out of sympathy. At least I wasn't late.

Altanta lived up to its namesake. Atlantis. Lots of flooding. Like, lots. Was insane. Jason was without internet. Might still be. Work is going very well. Doing the drivethru today, catching on fast. Like riding a bike. Today is payday. I'm happy. God knows I need the money. God also knows where Jimmy Haffa is buried, where Waldo is, and what women are thinking. That, my friends, is an awesome God.

I feel frustrated tonight. Damn. Moving on, I helped a friend out today. Was cool. Still rainy. Schools are closed and stuff. Flooding.

Something is happening...

Liked how Clockwork Crisis was going? Yes, I'll wrap it up sometime soon...

But if you've read it, you know how it ends already - Geppito is caught and punished for his "crimes." But what happens next?

Well, there's been some strange activity over on SOLOMON, the super-computer database that Geppito once used and manipulated to control all the world's clockworks and cause the Clockwork Crisis...

Check it out.

About to do a catering delivery for my job. Fun stuff. You guys said you like my creative writing, so I've got a treat for you soon, especially if you were a fan of Clockwork Crisis. Also, do you like comics? How about well drawn comics with no stick figures? Be prepared, one is coming... And it is relevant to your interests. So more creative writing and a comic are on the way. Anything else? Yes. Yes there is. Stay tuned. Now go dance or be productive or whatever it is you kids do these days. I've work to do.

TERRIBAD COMIC

Enjoy.

They won't.

Shut your dirty pie-hole, you failure at reality, you.

This is why you don't have a girlfriend.

I always thought it was because I can quote the entire dialog of the first five quests in World of Warcraft.

...Someone else, please, let me come live in your mind! GET ME OUT OF HERE!

PROTIP: Click the picture to see the whole thing.


I have a picture for you, too, Ben.

Oh? What is it? Is it cool? Is it a picture of waffles? I like waffles.



...You're an asshole.

Two more hours of work. Making the Benjamins. Cool stuff. None of you are a follower yet, so become one all ready. Right side of the page. All the cool people want to do it but they don't because they're afraid of being compared to me. So be fearless. I really need more productive hobbies.

No Waffles...

You know what sucks?

Vacuums? Kirby?

Waking up, craving waffles, and not having any. No waffles. None.

If that's your idea of sucks...

Shut up. Anyway, it's raining AGAIN today. Haven't seen the sun in almost a week. Vampires are going to start getting bold here soon, and we're going to have problems on our hands.

Hey, maybe the vampires will be friendly?

Yeah, and maybe Welfare will actually work as intended.

You, sir, are a jaded individual.

I'm more of a sapphire kinda guy. Anyway, about to work again (Just a 9-2 today). Job is going really well. I really like my boss and co-workers. I also really like the food.

Of course you do, fatty!

For a figment of my imagination, you really are an asshat, you know that?

YOU made me this way!

Touche'. So, do you know what Harry Potter and I have in common?

Nerdy Glasses? Social Ineptitude? Bad grades?

This:

District 9 'n Stuff

Dad and I saw District 9 last night. Pretty damn good movie. Had aliens 'n stuff. Faces melted. For real.

Thanks to my good friend and mentor, Mike Spessard, I was finally able to make the decision to cut some dead weight out of my life. A "friend" of mine has become extremely delussional, and has become only a drain on my time and resources - After almost three years, he hasn't changed, and no amount of care and advice has helped. Cutting my loses and moving on, and damn it feels good.

Here's to you Anthony. Wish I could say you'd be missed, but, you won't.



TRIVIA: The blog name, "Ben Says Oro" is taking from Kenshin. Kenshin often makes the sound "Oro", which is the Japanese version of "Huh"

Hello my less than faithful readers. Today you're in for a treat. A story for your laughs and enjoyment. The story of how Ben got kicked out of a convenience store. Hint, it involves rubber bands. Maybe I'll upload some art I drew later, too.

Better Late Than Uncomfortably Early

Hung out with two of my good friends yesterday. Fun times were had. I realized I had a baby fetish (long story). Not a sexual fetish of course, mind you. But like, here, examples.

"Scribblenauts is awesome, because you can throw babies!"

"I beat that tool like a drunken father beats a baby!"

"I eat babies!"

"The elephant ate my baby!"

... Babies.

And now, I bring you a video.



BONUS! VIDEO 2!

Online Gameplay

This, pretty much, right here, sums up how I feel when I play games online with other people. VIDEO CONTAINS SWEARING, NSFW

Finishing up lunch at taco bell. There was a pretty cute girl here earlier. We made eye contact, I did not smile. I let the contact linger for a moment before boredly looking away. Caught her looking at me several times after. She was quick to look at the floor when I did. The floor is not interesting, I checked, so I think she was checking me out. Her friend looked at me several times to. Their talking got very quiet after I caught her looking at me. A giggle or two. I don't understand women.

Review - 9

Weird. Absolutely freaking weird. A bit cool, but also kinda hard to follow. It moves very fast, plotwise, and takes no time to stop and let you digest or keep up. It also twists and plot changes very rapidly. There are a couple of "LOL" moments, but for the most part it's a pretty dark, gloomy story. The ending is also very weird, and if you're not paying very close attention, it will make no sense to you.

I give "9" 4 stars. It's very well animated and the concept is freaking awesome, the execution is just a little wobbly.

Going to see 9. Woo!

Just got done doing a lot of Alterac Valley with Jason on WoW. Won two, lost two. The second one that we won was freaking epic. He kept me alive while I tore like five Horde to shreds. Wish I had Game Cam on at the time. I'm going to make a video soon. Maybe an AMV. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Victory is mine this day. I found a gold dollar in my wallet. I have mac and cheese. Not a lot, but I'm not dying today. While I hate alterac valley, I do love me some arathi basin. Stepped in with a fellow rogue last night and took charge. Won two, lost two. One loss was by ten points. Turns out the Alliance will listen to a rogue who keeps the Horde running. My friend sabby thinks I should stop being such a gentleman and start playing hard to get. Time to dust off the leather jacket and the indifferent looks. And hey you lazy bums, sign up and become a follower. There is something in it for you. :)

9/11/2009 MOBILE UPDATE

Break. Starving again. No money for food, won't have any for three weeks. Chicken smells good. I can make horse noises with my mouth. :)

9/10/2009 Video Wrap Up - I Don't Wanna Be In Love

I've decided to wrap up every day that I post with a video of some sort.

Here's today's video!

Naruto AMV - I Don't Wanna Be In Love

(Good Charlotte)

I guess I should explain I'm not feeling bitter or emo, it's just a catchy song and it drives my point home: I don't want to be in love, right now. I'm getting my life together and truly enjoying it for the first time in ages. Loves, blissful though it may be, would seriously complicate the smoothness of the transactions I'm going through.

The song is also hella catchy. I'd totally /dance to this. Behind closed doors. Online.

9/10/2009 MOBILE UPDATE

On break. Hungry. Can't afford lunch again. I'm a mess. Covered in chicken breading. Looks like I murdered the pilsbury dough boy.

Preperation

I have to be at work in 30 minutes, so I'll be leaving in about 10 to 15. Thought I'd say something on here before I scoot off to the grind.

Love. It's a popular topic, because everyone has some interest in it one way or another. People talk about it in both extremes: To outright doubting its true existence to falling in love every two seconds. I had a revelation last night regarding myself and this mystical four letter word.

I have never been in love. I have loved, and I do love, but I have never been IN love. I've lusted, and I've been caught up in the moment, but I have never found myself feeling like I could and would to anything for another person, that that person was my missing puzzle piece. Or however being in love feels. Butterflies? Whatever, haven't felt it...

I've said "I Love You" and meant it, because I have loved people, but I've never been IN love with people... does that make sense? It does to me.

Do I want to fall in love? Sure, why not. But I'm no longer in any rush to do so. I've seen some of my friends fall in love, and to be quite honest, it's utterly pathetic. Sure, sweet, endearing, even romantic: But oh so pathetic. And I'm not quite ready to set my dignity aside like that.

I want waffles.
