About Me

Well, I'm Ben, if anyone's asking. Or maybe Benjamin, or Jammin, or The Bearded One. Any will do. :) I currently live in the awesome place that is London, and I'm a student bum. I'm studying Japanese and Music, and occasionally Japanese music.I like art. If you want to see some of my artwork, then go to www.jammin087.deviantart.com or click on the Machine of Happiness below. It's the one with the cogs. :) I love street art, although I don't do much of that myself. I need to rectify that... I'm also fond of manga and anime.Music is a biiiig part of everyone's life, whether they like it or not. I love it. I play the drums, and I would love to be able to play the guitar. Maybe I will learn someday. I've started learning to play the tabla, which are a type of Indian drum. :)I'm a Christian! Woohoo! It's amazing and one long rollercoaster ride and I wouldn't have it any other way. God's done so much in my life, and I've seen him do amazing things through and around me. I'm passionate about working with young people and seeing God change their lives, having spent a year doing youth and schools work in Sheffield with a charity called the Pais Project.Everyone has dislikes. Mine are damp socks, apathy, my own poor time management, and er, cabbage. Remember the last one in case you ever have me round for tea! :) And whilst we're on the subject of food, I like Italian, Chinese (especially anything in black bean sauce), Japanese and a good old fashioned English Sunday Roast. Yum! That's about it really. That's Ben, in a nutshell. Thanks for reading. See you on the flipside. :)

Last chance.

Here's the first part of The Tale of the Misguided Pig Herd, to whet your appetite. I still need 3 more 'yes please's before I write the rest, and I'm only gonna post one more bulletin about it (proba...

God put a smile upon your face

Ok, so I haven't written a blog for aaaaaaaaaaages, so I thought I would, mainly cos I'm bored as erm, a hermit. Now there's an interesting thought - what do hermits do in their spare time? It can't b...

A little bird told me...

Hmmm, well, everyone else seems to be writing blog entries, so why not me? Well, mainly because I don'thave much to say. But we'll have a go anyway. So, what's been going on in the life of Ben, recen...

You can sit on chimneys

Boredom dictates that I should write a blog entry. Since I haven't written in my journal for roughly a month, there's not really any point in transferring extracts from it onto the internet, so I gues...

Buttoned, zipped straight to the throat, with the collar up, so you won't catch cold

Well, Nick challenged us to write a blog, so... I refuse to do it! You're not going to get a blog out of me! ... Oh, wait... awh, poo. Anyway, since you've managed to trick me into writing one of thes...

Extracts From the Journal of Ben Thomas, Part II

Hmm, it's been a while since I last did this, so I'm afraid I'm going to miss out a chunk of about 2 weeks. :) My life can't be that interesting anyway, can it? So you're not missing out on much. Anyw...

Extracts from the journal of Ben Thomas, Part I

I haven't written here for a while, and you're probably (maybe) all wondering what I've been getting up to in Sheffield. So, instead of thinking of loads of stuff to write, I'm just gonna copy extract...

So this is it.

So... I'm leaving tomorrow. Pais awaits, and all the amazing things that come with it. Thanks to all who came to my send-off on Friday. I had no idea I had so many friends... So yea. Tomorrow afterno...

Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup

Tralala. I've been away! :) First to Italy, with the wind band, touring around Lake Garda, visiting Venice, and theme parks, and such, which was molto bene. (Isn't my Italian so good? I knew you'd agr...
