A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity

About Me

My name is Ben I'm a big and tall guy standing a cloud viewing 6'10" Not being of average size. This leads to a lot staring and obvious questions from people I meet. Most assume I'm a rough & mean person because I can be rather intimidating when you first meet me but given the chance of a conversation people quickly realize that I'm a warm, funny and down to earth person who can make a handy friend when it comes to reaching that pesky top shelf. Trying to say a few words about yourself is rather daunting,because of the possible millions of users who might read this and decide right there if your cool or not.
