And so begins my two week journey into the world of personal online journalism. This journalism, called "blogging", is a way for me to type of bunch of words, and with the help of the internet, display them on a webpage for people to read as I update it wherever the internet is made available.
Let's get things started off right. My name is Benjamin Scarborough. I am 20 years old and I currently reside in a college town called Auburn in Alabama. My parents moved here shortly after my youngest brother was born and I entered Auburn City Schools just in time for the second grade to start. Two years have passed since high school and my academic career is uncertain. I'm at a weird point in my life where I'm very lost and confused about what I want to work toward. I would like to direct films and am fully aware of my creative skills as well as technical prowess.
In the field of audio engineering, I have produced several artists and aided in the creation of various songs and audio productions.
I think I'm a nice guy.
Today started at around, oh, I don't know, midnight. I was at John David's house drinking Yuengling and taking shots of vodka. I did not go to Waffle House but instead went home and fell into one of the most memorable sleep comas of the year so far. I slept with my blinds open, so throughout the morning and day the sun filled my room with an attempt to wake me up. It failed.
Around one or two p.m. Central time I rolled over to look at my phone and already several people had "hit me up". One was Mook, who wanted me to come over and shoot a video with him today. I respectively declined as I had barely the energy to get myself out of bed. Another was Nick Smith informing me of a cookout at his house around four and I decided to go. Grace invited me to hang out with her and Malcolm at the park, but the text was at least an hour or two old so the two could be anywhere by now. I rolled over again and shut my eyes. Immediately Grace called and asked if her and Malcolm could come attempt to get me out of bed to which I said yes.
We have a new dog here at the house. He likes to bark a lot, so as Malcolm and Grace approached he began to bark and I was alerted to their presence. Three swift firm knocks came to my door as they tried to enter, but my door was locked, so I stood up, shook myself off and let them both in. They had succeeded in getting me out of bed.
Malcolm and I had cups of coffee and Grace made hot chocolate with a marshmallow. Because we had some time before we decided to go to Nick's, we watched a very enjoyable episode of the Boondocks and soon we were on our way. We picked up Sebastian. Grace left us to utilize her parent's washing machine in time for their arrival back from Mobile. She also had to read a lot of Robinson Crusoe before class tomorrow.
At Nick's apartment Nick and Mary Beth had began to prepare meat and onion/broccoli on a grill outside his door. Did I mention is was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday today? There were no classes. In attendance was my brother Patrick, Nick, Mary Beth, Tyler, Sebastian, Cameron, Mark, Amanda, Malcolm, John and Jacob. We ate all the food and played Auburnopoly and Sebastian cleaned Nick's room of all the bunny poop and someone clogged Nick's bathroom sink the fuck up and it was really funny because Mark shut the water off and took apart the pipes below the sink and carried outside the pipes to get rid of all the congestive material inside and it was all black and nasty and Mark said it was "doo doo". Anyways.
We soon went to Mark's house five deep in Nick's car to get my Xbox 360 and take it to Trevor's. He was doing his homework when we got there and I felt bad for disturbing him, but whatever. I love you Trevor. We played Halo 3 and watched a little bit of 2008's Gomorrah in HD. We switched to a Zack Galifianakis stand-up and then finally to Kazaam! I left John and Trevor to go to Waffle House by myself and paid around $12 for the most expensive thing they had. Now I feel like I want to die. But in a good way. A good dying. Like, dying in your sleep. Or dying while trying to eat pussy while underwater.
