So, Meerkat Musings. What is it? Well, it is in fact a site that’s been running for ten years, and it is now in the process of being rebuilt. It’s time for a change of style, in more ways than one. Some of you will have been here before, and I hope you decide to stick around. Some of you might be new to these parts, and I hope you find yourself entertained enough to stick around as well!

If it is not already clear, the theme around here is meerkats. Meerkats are, quite simply, adorable (which is maaaaaybe like me), neurotic (definitely like me), and skittish (sometimes like me). Expect to see meerkat ‘art’ liberally spread all over Meerkat Musings.

Some people call me Ben, some people might know me as Darth Timon, and others might call me other, more unsavoury names, but you can call me… well, whatever you like! I am a 40-something guy from the UK, who works in retail sales, and has done so for 17 years. I am happily married, and my wife and I have a wonderful daughter, who continues to be a beacon of light and love in my life, every single day. I am a huge fan of Formula 1 motor racing, a lover of Star Trek, Star Wars, and many other forms of science fiction. It may be of no surprise to learn I am a massive Lion King fan as well.

Another one of my passions is Nintendo. I love the Legend of Zelda series, and I am pretty fond of the Super Mario games too. Long-time readers will know I can waffle at length on these subjects, and I probably will.

I am not afraid to dip my toes into political and social discussions, and it is not unheard of for me to dive into some vigorous debates on various topics, including feminism, race relations, and LGBT rights. I will make my positions on these subjects clear, and I will not shirk from doing so. Bear that in mind if you come at me with your comments, though I will say that I welcome comments, so, provided you follow my Code of Conduct, we should all be fine.

Finally, I am a published author! I will speak of The Awakening in more detail elsewhere, but it is something I am extremely proud of, and as such, do not be surprised if I reference this on several occasions!

So, there we have it. Welcome to the revised and refreshed Meerkat Musings!
