Welcome to the first ever posting for my new blog. Sit down, make yourselves at home and so on and so forth.
First and foremost, I really hate the words 'blog' and 'blogger'. Just because something is published online, it doesn't make it blog related. As my fake-Scottish friend says whenever I point out to him that he was actually born in Hammersmith and not some wee glen in the highlands, 'just because Jesus was born in a barn, it didn't make him a donkey.' I then often threaten to tell his heavily Catholic mother that he is comparing himself to the son of God, and then things deteriorate. All that aside, the point remains the same.
But anyway, I suppose I'm a great big hypocrite seeing as I called this little concoction the 'Ben Halls Blog'. And on this little site, I will post a smattering of ponderings, stories, analysis, moanings and everything in between. I will do so thrice a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. I do most of my writing on sports, so maybe expect a bit of emphasis on that, but frankly I can go on and on about anything. Oh and I will. I may also slip the odd serious point in if the mood takes me, but on the whole expect penis jokes. Much to my dismay, I also have a twitter feed. My aim is one follower. Please make it so. It will keep you up to date when stuff goes live in all the various places I post to.
As it's only polite, I'll tell you a little bit about me. I'm a freelance writer who occasionally does proper articles and corporate copyrighting and all of that boring old stuff. But mainly I write silly little pieces. You can find some of my regular columns over at ElevationRadio.com, where I write about the Premiership in The London Chronicles, and very, very soon I will be doing NFL and Formula One coverage over at BallSoup.co.uk. However, I still need to do some web design and the like there. If you go there now you just see some One.com propaganda. Sorry to spoil the surprise.
Anyway, that's about it. I hope you enjoy, come back, Digg stuff and favourite things and what not. I'll see you all on Sunday.
