The Real World: Bright Lines
http://oldbenjamin.blogspot.com/2007/12/bright-lines.html
Sunday, December 30, 2007. So the following might get a little bit technical, but its an argument I've always wanted to write down and verbalize. Most importantly it has several surprising implications. So in debate (and probably real life, but all debate IS life) there is the concept of a line. You've hopefully heard the expression "where do you draw the line? Applying contemporary community standards. Must find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest. So I think my point is, a...

The Real World: Purely Meta Blogging
http://oldbenjamin.blogspot.com/2007/11/purely-meta-blogging.html
Saturday, November 24, 2007. So, I just said I was going to start every blog with a meta blog. This is the exclusion. This post will be all about this blog itself, or about blogging. I'm going to start with some. we'll lump it under grammar. First of all I can never figure out where to punctuate parentheses (should I put a comma before this? Labels: May Contain Rambling.

The Real World: November 2007
http://oldbenjamin.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 25, 2007. The Meaning of Life. Today I'm only going to write one post, and then get some sleep; I have to wake up early Monday and then begin my school sleep cycle again (midnight till 6 or 7). So, I picked a nice little bit of philosophy: the Meaning of Life. I reserve the right to write more about this at any time until my death however. To begin, we must consider what the 'Meaning of Life' is. Is it '42'? Is there some definite answer? Will it, in the long run, make me happy? These ar...

The Real World: September 2007
http://oldbenjamin.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 21, 2007. Due to a total lack of free time, or interest in reading a memoir, or wasting my free time reading for more homework, I apologize, but I don't think I'll be doing the English project (see last post). Apologies. That pretty much means this will be an outlet for my ranting :). Thursday, September 13, 2007. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). World's greatest webcomic - xkcd.

Saturday, November 24, 2007. First, for all but the one person who was up tonight and read these as I posted them, I suggest you read all the previous posts, because it's not like you've been ignoring this blog for months and don't want to go back and read months of stuff, it's more like they're one nights worth of stuff, and you should read it.

The Real World: Rambling, and Thought
http://oldbenjamin.blogspot.com/2007/11/rambling-and-thought.html
Saturday, November 24, 2007. Rambling, and Thought. Right, well, I've got a couple more in me this fine evening. First, about rambling:. Second: philosophy of thinking.

The Real World: Movies
http://oldbenjamin.blogspot.com/2007/12/movies.html
Tuesday, December 25, 2007. In preface, the following is rambling and not quite a fully formed idea. But, just like a movie, you have to pick the meaning out of it. You'll probably think I'm (more) weird after reading this. 1 Main character wants something, goes to great lengths to get it, gets it, then decides at the very last second they don't want it, and go get another thing. Ii) Action movies (what? You need an explanation). Iii) Sports/Underdog movies. (ditto to the above parens). Iv) Heist movie (...
