Well, there's no way to make this introduction less awkward, so let's get started!

I'm Ben. I'm just a guy who thinks way too much for his own good. My thoughts wander and take me weird places. I, as a thinker, LOVE tough questions. No, not math or science problems, but anything that tests my brain philosophically. I've lived a life., I've met many people, I've made many mistakes, and I've thought about it all. I'm just one normal guy.

I've created this blog as a way to test my brain. To see who I am as a person, and what I truly think about all sorts of things. I decided to make this an interactive thing. To allow people to suggest topics or to ask questions to help keep me thinking. This is just as much a blog to express my thoughts and opinions as it is an advice blog. I take all real questions seriously and hope to share bits of my head in text. I truly hope that you, my soon to be audience, will kindly provide me with suggestions for material that I can share my thoughts on.

So, that's my plan. This blog will change and evolve as the posts start coming out so I'll just keep you posted on that. If you have any questions or recommendations for future posts, please comment on any existing posts or send them by email to bestrouteforward@gmail.com.

Thank you again for any contribution to this blog and I hope you enjoy!
