About benedictquest
My name is ben, and as you can see, I like to write. Toss me anything and I'm sure I can easily put it into writing. I write for many different reasons: planning, helping, documenting, venting, etc. Writing is an excellent form of connection, and it's among the best ways to share anything you know to everyone and learn from other people on the way. Some of my favored topics contain politics, home repairs, web marketing, individual finance, the human body and why I was never as gifted as Michael Jackson. I write to live, and I live to write. Take pleasure in my blog.
