The Trivial Timeline of Ben Stebbings

A "through-the-years" of my life - only instead of picking out the people and events that have effected me and contributed directly in the making of the strong, flawless man you see before you today, this is a timeline listing incidents and events which had no effect or bearing on my life whatsoever but still pop up in my memory from time to time, begging for attention and acknowledgement. If these things were not in my life and they hadn't occurred absolutely nothing would change.
