RAYDON "SCUMBAG" MARSHALL

Hmmm.... Where to start on this one...

I've known Raydon for almost exactly 3 years, and during that time our relationship has been all over the place. At first I thought he was odd, then I thought he was alright, then by the end of year 9 I was walking along singing "Lion Sleeps Tonight" with him around school. In year 10 we didn't really speak much, we only had 2 classes; P.E in which he had no skill at all in, and Science, where he spent all year sat at the back of the class playing with David Copperfield. Then we come to year 11, where he was in almost every one of my classes, so it was a guarantee that I'd see him at least 2 or 3 times a day. It was innevitable that we would become either friends or enemies, and unfortunately it was the former that came true...

Raydon is not the nicest of people you'll ever meet, far from it in fact, there aren't many people that will openly call me fat several times in the day but it does happen. Raydon is one of these people. He is blunt. He is mean. He is sarcastic. He gives crap advice. And yet, I like him. He is honestly one of the "coolest" people I have ever met.

Raydon is the one at the back :)

Raydon and I have gone through a lot together this year, we've had our ups and downs and yet we have managed to power through it. Whether it be us pissing off the teacher in English, or pissing around in Drama our main focus has been to have a laugh.

All in all I'm quite happy with the friend I've made, sure he gives crap advice and makes fun of me, but he's still the best guy friend I have ever had. He has his moments..

To Want or Not to Want?

At the moment there are a lot of things I want in my life, kinda hard to put them in any sort of order, all I know is that I want them. And so, I have created a list of what I want and I'll put reasons to go with them :)

• A car - So I can drive myself places.


• My restricted license - So I can legally drive myself places.


• My own computer - Because I am sick of having to use the family one.


• More musics - So I can claim to have filled up my iPod.


• I bigger iPod Touch! - So that I don't have to worry about running out of space on my current one.


• A really good sound system for my room - So I can listen to music. In my room. Really loudly.


• A room full of GUMMI BEARS - Who wouldn't want that?!


• For the Mindfuxing to stop. (I don't think this needs a reason, I'll probably delve into it during a later post).

Don't think I want much more besides that... What is it that *you* want?

Whatever Works

Hey there and welcome to my first ever attempt at a blog. I don't really have much of a plan for this first post so I'll just wing it and see what happens.

Well, for starters, my name's Ben and to most of you I'll just seem like your standard teenager that blogs about stuff that nobody really cares about, and I'm happy with that. I'll try my best to make every post interesting in some way, but it's true that you can't keep everyone happy all of the time.
On the outside I am just an average kid; 5'10"(ish), kinda broad shouldered, bigger than most, hair that can never decide if it's gonna be anything between blonde and dark ginger, usually wear shorts or jeans and a t-shirt and my iPod is one of my favourite things in the world.
To look at me, you wouldn't really be able to place me in any particular clique, and it's taken me ages to find a group where I really fit in. During my time at college I would have hung out with most of the different groups in my year, whether they be gangsta, into sport, or just at school for their mates. Personally, I reckon the one I'm with now is the best of the lot. We're an odd bunch, one moment we'll be discussing neutral buoyancy and the next we'll be criticizing someone's music for being too mainstream. It's a good mix and I love every one of them.

That's me in a nutshell basically.

Now onto the blog details...
This blog is basically going to be a sum up of what's going on in my life; things I'm liking, things that are annoying me, just things really. I might do a review every now and then too if I can be bothered.
I will most likely not be posting every day (if I'm in a very bloggy mood then I might) as I will try to even things out. Having said that, I'll try post something at least once or twice a week so that I don't get slack and forget about this :P

Oh and before I forget, here are a couple of my best friend's blogs that I think are quite interesting:

• Josie - Josie Rants


• Raydon - Something Blunt

Well that's about it, I'm surprised I only used one smiley and no swearing in this whole post, don't expect that to last. Once again, welcome to my blog, hopefully you'll click the "follow" button over there and maybe comment every now and then.
