My name is Benjamin Harrison. I share my name with a man who signed The Declaration of Independence and a guy who was president of the United States. Those dudes are chumps compared to me. I have a website. They didn’t have a damn website. They probably didn’t even have running water. Or the internet. I sure hope I’m not related to those guys, because they were clearly losers and I’m clearly not because of the fact of this website’s existence. What we’ve got here is a collection of my works and collaborations. I’ve decided to make it more pretentious than it previously was.

The above was the text that greeted visitors to my website before I installed WordPress. I post it now to illustrate a point. People crack wise about my having the same name as a president on a pretty regular basis. It doesn’t bother me because I clearly rock more than that president and he’s probably named after me and not the other way ’round. Well yesterday I had a post regarding facial hair in which I shared a picture of General Burnsides of American Civil War fame. I thought the picture was funny so I made it my AIM buddy icon. It was a joke only I would get considering I’m the only person who reads this page, but people thought it was funny anyways based on a misinterpretation. So for clarification, the guy in my previous post is General Burnsides, and the guy in the photo in this post is President Benjamin Harrison. I have conceded my buddy icon as well. I suppose that means I’m weak.
