A man with a mission

something to shoot for:

bar quest

deliciously white trash

I love my home town, why you ask, well let me tell you why. My car was low on gas so I pulled into a local gas station "Patriot Gas", let me pause for a sec to let that sink in, "Patriot gas." As my car is filling up I glance around and notice a man walking out of the food mart carrying three 24 oz. busch beers and a bag of ice. For a quick description of this guy he stood taller than me but could have been mistaken for a heroin addict, and i thought I was skinny. He sported his red tank top and cut off jeans with pride as he walked towards his truck, which faded from a washed out blue at the rear to an eggshell white at the front interspersed with rust spots and bad paint jobs. But the crowning acheivement of the entire truck was the hood or the lack thereof he had the ability to check the oil without propping it up, full on visible engine. The guy walked to his truck bed and opened up a fine styrafoam cooler and dumped his ice and beer in. He was nothing if not friendly though he gave me the patented nod as he puttered off. All in a day in Crescent City and my parents wonder why I want to avoid town.

p.s. while blogging this the Daily Show aired a segment on web blogs its all twilight zoney.

up for debate

Inspired by an www.imdb.com post and a star wars filled weekend I have made a list of the most powerful jedi in my opinion, this is up for debate:

1. Yoda (come on he's little he's green and witty, power plus wisdom puts him at number one)
2. Darth Sidious (may not be the best with the force but combined with political ability makes him unstoppable)
3. Luke (with little training holds his own with two extremly powerful dark jedi)
4. Anakin/Darth Vader (highest media chlorin rate but too cocky to harness it completly)
5. Obi-Wan (dissolves into the force and survives jedi slaughter)
6. Qui-Gon (being a renegade was the only thing that kept him off the council but respected by it)
7. Mace Windu (Samuel L. honestly)
8. Count Dooku/Darth Tyrannus (only beats yoda by distraction and is killed by Anakin)
9. Darth Maul (double sided light sabre come on)

operation nerdom

they said it couldn't be done but today and tomorrow I shall attempt the ultimate in star wars fantasy along with my friend Stephen this afternoon we shall view episodes one and two then proceed to the theatre to watch three, after which we will play star wars video games until passing out commences and upon awakening we shall view the Episodes four five and six, may the force be with us.

something to think about...

If you expect a kick in the balls and get a slap in the face, its a victory.

...they'll never take our freedom

Armed with only his wit and the knowledge learned from multiple telivision shows, matty entered the arena of the post graduate, only to be confronted by that which asks to be defeated. The dreaded Boredom weighing in at 9'4" 853 lbs. But does matty fear, NO, inspired by the likes of David, and the Alamo, he stands his ground. They begin circling each other in a comidically violent dance. Ever waiting for the first move from it's opponent, but Boredom struck hard and fast with a imprisoning rain storm, quicker than even matty had expected, catching matty off guard and sending him to the ground. But this was not to be a fatal blow only a minor inconveince, from the wallet of providence matty pulled out the library card of enlightentment and was given the power of Zen and motorcycle maintenence, thus holding boredom off for another day.

A new day

At some point everything changed.
Clarity became something to be endured.

After a long ass drive yesterday, and a day spent unpacking and doing laundry, I felt the need to post something and since Dasher already mentioned hie "NorthEnd ThugLife" and me being to high when it actually happened to do the story justice, just know this was Dasher on the brink and the center of attention. Dasher thanks for being an only child, it keeps it interesting.

I have to say that event at 948 Sunday Night was the most maudlin event I've ever participated in, and while it was nice to spend time with some people for the last time, it was also a reminder of who'd I'd never see again if I can avoid it. So I got that going for me. My emotionally closed off ass has never given that many hugs to guys, and it made me feel awkward as all hell. So for the few I gave one to "I love you guys"

God fucking nostalgia

10 Reasons matty should never have hard liquor

1) Blackouts that result in girls crying

2) Blackouts that result in search parties to find matty

3) Blackouts that result in matty drinking more liquor

4) Blackouts that result in matty getting with ugly chicks

5) Blackouts that result in matty taking on wagers that he could not succeed at

6) Blackouts that result in matty's pockets filled with things that weren't originally his

7) Blackouts that result in alienating friends, relatives, and/or current girlfriends

8) Blackouts that result in being too honest or too much lying

9) Blackouts that result in waking up in the clothes from the night before with a headache and a "Oh shit what happened"

10) Blackouts.

New Stuff

I added a counter so if you could all boost my self esteem by coming back frequently, that'd be great.

I finished up the whistler story so go ahead and check it out

and finally go see Sin City it rules

matty

Since it is the week before finals I had intended to invade the library and stay there until I am forcibly thrown out by the old lady librarians, ( which isn't as embarrassing as it sounds I saw one of them bench 420 lbs ). But as I was finally gearing up the emerge I heard a knock on the door and a one Zack Beregevin comes in and asks if I want to play soccer at four, I weigh my options and decide eh fuck I can always do homework later, but soccer is in the now. so I said yes and now have to kill an hour till the game and what better way to do that then finish up an idea I had for a blog from last week so any way here it is:

Throughout my life I've been Matt this name has done nothing for me it has always made me seem remarkably similar to everyone else thus when introducing myself as Matt I seemed to join the ranks of all the other Matts in the world inherently making me uninteresting. Basically I hated my name. Then sophomore year a friend started calling me matty j, at first this didn't settle well either cause although I hated my name it is remarkable how much an identity is contained in a name. But as a joke during rush I put my name as matty j and all the now Juniors learned my name as matty j. So I began to answer to it, but would never introduce myself as it. After a while though the name matty j began to take on it's own persona, when I was matty j I was cocky, sure of myself, sarcastic, and all in all a more vocal person. Then came my junior year when I realized I almost had two separate personalities, when I was with friends I was close with in non social atmospheres I was Matt quiet reserved and all in all the "nice" guy. But when I was out I became matty. I noticed this especially with girls as it started I was usually quelled by girls I liked so I introduced myself as Matt, but now I use this created persona or extension of me I introduce myself as matty. Which gives me an air of individuality, also with this minor change in name I've noticed a higher success rate and higher confidence. The point of all this ranting comes to this, Names not only identify who you are but they in turn create an identity.
