The internet has finally dragged its sorry arse back into my home life folks, rejoice! Ever since moving into the stinking hovel of eniquity that is the Viper Den (actually probably the cleanest house I’ve lived in for a while, but why ruin the fun?) I’ve been slumming it with the technophobes and luddites whilst only using the internet at work. I’d like to say it’s been rough times, but to be honest it’s probably been for the best. There’s more than enough shit to keep me entertained without the heaving juggernaut of time wasting that is el interwebo<\/em>. Being the long standing internet junkie that I am, I thought this long-awaited day of glory would result in a massive flurry of activity and visits to many an abandoned site to proclaim my return.<\/p>\n

However, I’ve found myself faced with a 1,500 strong pile of unread mail (most of it spam I hope) that I really can’t be bothered facing, as well as a complete lack of interest in revisiting any of my old haunts. It’s almost as if I’ve forgotten how to use this thing. I get the feeling that it will only be a matter of time before I re-acquaint myself with the convenience of the internet and the many pleasures that it holds, no doubt including massive amounts of time reading and looking at worthless shit that I really don’t care about. Hopefully in there somewhere I’ll find some time to post more random shit on this here website so that you can have the occasional relief from Ben and his sick obsession with deep sand, scorching heat and bizarre looking bikes. We may have hosted last year’s SS nats, but I’ll be damned if I have come around to the idea of riding up steep, rocky hills with only one gear. Maybe it’s because I now own one of those bikes with 12 possible suspension combinations, more travel than Peter North’s member, and enough gears to pedal on water. Either way, I’ve got the internet back and stuff will probably happen.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah, buy a jersey and look cool. You know you’ll be sad if you miss out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
