Introductions

Well I did it, I started a blog. I have been putting this off for quite sometime because the term 'blog' just sounds so lame to me.
Anyway my name is Benjamin Shewell (not BenJams). I live in Salt Lake City, UT. BenJams is a nickname of mine... one that I'm not particularly fond of either. I recieved the nickname a few years back when a co-worker of mine tried to call me by my whole first name, Benjamin, and somehow blurted out 'BenJams'. So, like most people I didn't like that very much that someone had just mis-said my name to my face, and my other friends at work thought it was so funny that they just kept calling me BenJams. For some time I protested the usage, but I have given up on that, and have come to terms with the fact that I might never be rid of it.
Oh yeah, back to my introduction, I am 6'1.753". Some people would say 6'2", but they are just rounding up, and I don't do that. Well I guess I do round up in some instances, like in math and science classes, or anytime I'm adding up money. I have red hair and freckles, I am pretty much the poster boy for Americans with Scandanavian heritage, and Ron Howard's doppleganger. I am 26. My wife's name is Erika, we have been married since 04June2004. I am a student at Salt Lake Community College right now, but in the spring I will be transferring the the University of Utah.
Well thats all I can think to write about today. There will be more though, lots more.
