Hmmm well take out would have to be Hongs Chop Suey, fast food would have to be a tie between Chipotle and Potbelly but a sit down restaurant I would have to say Applebee’s.
13. Do you usually fall for the right or wrong girl/boy?
How do you define “right or wrong”? If you mean someone that can return what you feel then I have a perfect 50/50 record. If you mean someone that is good for you or not then I am lucky in that everyone I have fallen for has been good for me.
14. Have you ever hugged someone?
Oh yeah all the time.
15. Ever kissed someone you weren't attracted to?
Um yes once and I regretted it for various reasons.
17. What is the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?

18.Do you want someone you can't have?
Oh come on. Who doesn’t have someone in their life they cannot have but want? Like everyone, that is the nature of love and life.

Matt-Man, One For All
Hail and well met!
It has been a few weeks since I last updated. Been somewhat busy but mostly just didn't feel like it. Things are going OK. The new van works great. Work is work. I am working somewhat fervently on stuff for a upcoming trip down to see the guys in St. Louis at the end of February.
Last night I played D&D with the group for the first time in many weeks. It was good times and I feel better. We are going to play every weekend we can until Val's surgery in April at which point we will have to take it easy as he will be recovering.
On a personal note I discovered that there is a small gym literally next to the Post Office in Crete. I am considering signing up and getting back into a workout regimen. I liked working out and I know it made be feel better. The cost is a concern but I will figure something out.
My computer is pissing me off. The system dose not like Windows NT unless it has Service Pack 2 built in and no one I know has a copy that has that. So I am considering just chucking Windows all together and putting Linux on it and working all the kinks out. The big problem is no internet yet for that computer so going online for programs and the such is complicated. In the end all will work out of that I am sure.
Most days are livable but still have those days. Of course I am sure that is true of everybody so I will adapt and learn to live with it.
I miss seeing everyone. I hate having to curtail my trip plans. Again I will persevere because things will work out.
It may be early in the morning but I feel quite tired. So I am going to have some breakfast and get my butt moving.
May the Force be with you
Excelsior!!!

Matt-Man...Out Of Gas?
Hail and well met
Yeah it is worth a laugh. It appears that the only thing wrong with my van was a lack of fuel. The gauge is off so while I thought I still had about a quarter tank I was on E.
My Dad went to see Frank (the used car guy) and he was upset that the car was not working. He called his mechanic and had him drop everything and get to work looking at the van. After several hours of finding nothing Frank called the previous owner who informed him that he had replaced the fuel pump but the gas gauge didn't work right after. Frank called and told the mechanic to get some gas and presto it started and he then drove it around to make sure that it was ok. It has a clean bill of health and I am back in buisness.
I want to thank those that responded to my post. There are some calls I will be making in the future. It is a great comfort and a bit humbling to be reminded just how many friends I have in this world. I am rich beyond the dreams of avarice. Now I have to start treating them better.
All in all I laughed for several minutes when I learned about the van. I needed it and I feel better now. What is really interesting is that even with all this going on I didn't find today to be stressful at all. I mean I had a shit-ton of mail to deal with, more then usual in my opinion and of course those wonderful penny savers. I got out of the office at almost 1 and was back by 4:20. Then I was out of the office by 5:30, so a long day but I didn't feel it at all. I actually think I enjoyed the day.
Maybe I am just growing up.
What me grow up!? I must be crazy.
Tomorrow I am on my regular route and the same on Wednesday which will be fun and easy, especially with my NEW VAN!
I will post when ever possible and get those calls going soon.
Thanks again for everything.
May the Force be with you

What me grow up!? I must be crazy.
Tomorrow I am on my regular route and the same on Wednesday which will be fun and easy, especially with my NEW VAN!
I will post when ever possible and get those calls going soon.
Thanks again for everything.
May the Force be with you
Excelsior!!!

Matt-Man Thinks....
And the angels cried.
Hey and well met
I sit here and type in preparation for going to work tomorrow. Now there is the usual conflict with having to be in the office on a Monday and all that comes with it but on top of that are two things.
First is the fact that I am going to have to use my old van again. I say old because last Friday I (with the help of my Father) purchased a newer van, well it is the same year but you know what I mean. Now the reason I have to use my old van is that 24 hours, almost to the minute, the new van stopped working.
So now it is sitting at the used car lot waiting until tomorrow when my Father will go and speak to the owner (someone that he knows which is why I we bought the car from him). Of course I am not able to do it because I am working (ok that makes three things I hate about tomorrow).
The second is that I have to face my boss. That is not usual except that on top of everything else my phone was not working last week so I missed some calls from the office. So I am sure I am going to get a talking to about that. I don't think I am fired cause I would have known that Saturday but I am not really looking forward to facing this. I really don't like conflict in any form, but you all should know that by now.
Part of the problem is that on some levels I am not freaking out. I know isn't it weird. I am usually the first one to jump on the freak out band wagon but not this time. I am just going with the flow. It is strange cause part of me is freaking out and another part is freaking out that it is not freaking out. Can you say "conflicted"?
Part of this is probably is tied to the fact of what has happened recently. Nothing in this world really seems all that bad since that day. I mean it hurts but worse then that is the fear. No not fear it is more dread. The dread that I am destined to be alone. Oh boy is it starting again.
All the thoughts and feelings that I have felt before coming back and having a solid foundation in fact. I don't want to start blathering on cause it sucks.
That is all.

Matt-Man Lost In Transition
Hail and well met
Well it is about time I posted on current events. It is not easy at all considering what I have to impart. To be totally truthful it is quite painful.
There is a lot of information that goes into what I am about to say but I don't feel like putting it here. I don't even guarantee that if you ask I will tell you.
Terri and I have ended our relationship.
I don't want anyone bad mouthing Terri (not that I think anyone would but some of you can be very protective as friends)what happened between us was talked over and mutually decided upon. We are still friends and don't roll your eyes and tell me that it is not possible, it is and we are. She is still dear to me and I care about her.
It is a simple matter of reality. Right now we are not in a position to be what the other wants or needs. Staying together would only make things worse cause we would both be trying to fit the square peg in the round hole...(oops that didn't sound as good in type as it did in thought, but it is me :P ).
Yes it hurts. Quite a bit more then I thought it would but I will endure. Right now all I can do is live day to day and hope one of them will not begin with me realizing she is not with me. The struggle against depression continues with good days and bad days. This is a good day and it is why I am posting today. Trust me a bad day would not be good (kinda reminds me of the self indulgent bull I was typing a couple of years ago).
I know I made some mistakes. I know I failed on many levels. I know I let her down. I don't plan on focusing on those because they are not going to change. All I can do is try and learn from them and move forward.
Yeah way easier to say then do.
So that is what is going on for the most part. Well I am working on my games again and a trip to see the guys in St. Lois is in the works.

Moments of Trasitions
Quoted from Babylon 5 Season 3 episode "Z'Ha'Dum" Spoken by G'kar played by Andreas Katsulas
"It was the end of the Earth year 2260, and the war had paused, suddenly and unexpectedly.
All around us, it was as if the universe were holding its breath . . . waiting.
All of life can be broken down into moments of transition or moments of revelation. This had the feeling of both.
G'Quon wrote, There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way.
The war we fight is not against powers and principalities – it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender.
The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation.
No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain."
This speaks volumes. This is where I am. Now I must wait for the universe to exhale.

Matt-Man - Revelations
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of "Spiritus Mundi"
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
-- William Butler Yeats, "The Second Coming"
I should read more poetry.

Matt-Man, Now Live And In Color
Hail and well met
Ok so here is the current situation and it is a can of worms.
Earlier this week I had some trouble with the Matt-mobile when the heater stopped working. I was concerned and as soon as possible called my mechanic to see about getting it in. Well he suggested that I check my antifreeze, which I did and it was low. Well I went out and bought some and put it in.
Then later that day I noticed a puddle under my car, not a big one but a puddle none the less. I checked and sure enough I was low again on antifreeze. Now with my concern peaked again I made a second call and then dropped off my car yesterday.
Whelp I called today and was informed that I was looking at replacing my water pump, but that was not enough to drop on me. The water pump is located under the timing thinger-majig so as standard practice when replacing the water pump you also replace the timing belt. That runs all total around 7 to 8 hundred dollars.
Yeah about then I was ready to toss my breakfast. Then he said something else.
It appears that something to do with the font supports or struts or shocks or something is getting bad and really the car is not worth putting the money in.
Great could he have told me this earlier this year so I could have saved the 1200 dollars I have dumped into it in that time and could use now to buy a new car?
Yeah so if I was bummed before about xmas sucking it just got bumped up a couple of notches.
This means that until I find a way to generate enough money to buy a new car I have to baby this one to get through and pray that it hold out until I have the cash. It also means absolutely no extraneous driving. That means that I cannot go out to see either Terri or the guys in Lansing!
I really want to just to start screaming.
Ok not all news is bad. My roommate Bill is coming through with some help from his family about fixing my car...well enough to get me through a couple months while I pry the cash from the worlds cold covetous screwed up hands.
It still means I need to hold out on extra driving so as to max the time I get out of my car.
Grrrrrrr it just pisses me off so much cause I was doing well for awhile but with the cut back in hours it is going to be tight.
I know something will come through cause it always does but it is just going to be the matter of waiting for it to make its appearance.
So if anyone is open to the idea of coming out and getting me tomorrow please let me know cause I really want to play in Val's game and after I really want to get stupid with some alcohol (well as much as I can afford with needing money for the repairs and new car)

Matt-Man is Rolling Free, All The Rest Are Stoned!!!!!!!
Hail and well met
It is 11 here at the new Matt-Cave. I am getting ready to put a slew of things on Ebay shortly..or at least get everything rolling (hence part of the title).
I also have discovered something really cool. It is called Pandora and it is a free online radio server. You create your own station with the artists you want and like so many others it plays artists not on your list based on the ones that are giving you a chance to vote it up or down. There are unlimited fast forwards and no ads. It is amazing.
If you would like to find out more follow the link on in the side bar. You can also give Radio Free Matt-Man a listen if you like or not. I have collected a cornucopia of artists that I have listened to over the years and dumped them all in one station. It is crazy.

The Future is Matt-Man
Hail and well met
Ok I am typing a shorty today.
I am doing OK, not great or even good just OK. That is fine with me cause I know that there are a load of people out there who don't even have that going for them.
Work is pissing me off. I cannot beg borrow or steal hours at the moment. Which means that I am looking at a crappy Christmas. Yeah I know you are all going to say that I don't need to get you anything. From your point of view maybe. I love giving gifts to people and seeing their face.
The other side of that coin is that is also screwing with my ability to go up and see Terri. This time last year I was spending weekends up there with her on monthly basis but now I haven't been up there except for Thanksgiving for probably a couple of months. It is driving me fucking insane. What is the point of a so called "good" job if I find I am doing less then I did when I didn't have one!
Ah screw it. I have to deal and that is that.
I am looking with fervor for an opportunity that will allow for greater returns on my time and effort. With some luck I will find one.
People are coming home soon and I will be seeing each and every one of you. With things the way they are I am really looking to tie one on sometime. Oh and I mean seriously not the half ass binges found at the last couple of loft parties. No I mean shit faced passed out in the yard kinda drinking.
You know the "I hate you train!" kinda things.
Hope everyone is doing ok.

I Want More, I Want Matt-Man!
Hail and well met.
I made the decision that no matter what is going on I am going to keep putting posts up. So here it goes.
Things haven't changed much since my last post. I am looking at my schedule for the next week and seeing that I am looking at only one day. Of that was the case this week but I worked yesterday out of the blue. I don't want to get on a soap box again but it just frustrates me that no matter what I have no idea what is gong on from day to day.
Ok the other half of this is that I am going into the holiday season with a crappy monetary forecast. I know everyone is going to say that I don't need to get them something for Christmas but dammit I like getting people stuff for the season. Oh well I will just have to be creative and really seek something special for everyone.
I am considering an opportunity that comes at some risk but I cannot sit back and ignore the facts that others, so many others have made a good amount of cash using this opportunity. It won't be easy or without work but by the Creator I know that I have the ability to do the work and make the effort. I am not looking to become independently wealthy but I won't refuse it if it becomes possible. Really all I want is the ability to make some more money doing something that will not be hampered by my insane schedule.
I want to take this moment to apologize to everyone that was up for Thanksgiving for not seeing any of you. I know that I was busy but that shouldn't have stopped me from trying. I am Matt-Man for goodness sake.
So what else can I talk about. Hmmm...
Well gaming is going ok. We stared up the D&D game on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and will resume this coming Saturday (if all works out that is). Val has offered me the opportunity to run a second character of a more combat orientated nature since we have lost almost all of our heavy hitters.
I never really have run a combat heavy character before, well not and really meant it. I mean there was Tiny Schwartz the barbarian but that was back in high school and was just for fun.
So I began to think of a character that I could deal with and damn if I didn't come up with one. I have to clear a few things with Val before I get to psyched but I know him well enough that I am sure he will get goose bumps when I tell him my idea.
No I am not going to put it here until I have clearance from Val to run with the character idea. But once I do I will let everyone in on my little creation.
Well that about covers things right now... mostly. You see with my current financial blight I am finding it hard to keep myself in cigarettes and that has forced me to deal with the monkey. Let me tell you it is jumping real hard right now. So I will finish typing for now before I let it taint my words and go punch a wall or something.

Matt-Man Runs With The Wind
Hail and well met
I am hoping all is well with everyone.
I am doing ok. Thanksgiving was amazing. I went up to Terri's the Wednesday before to catch a Wolves game with her. Then I stayed over and after cleaning up some leaves with her we went to her parents for dinner. It was quite enjoyable to spend time with her and her family. The only thing that sucked was having to leave early so I could get back to go to work.
You see I had to work the whole week of Thanksgiving. My regular makes a trip to visit with family in Tennessee. So I worked the whole week, including the day after. You see I am going to rant about this again.
What the hell is the point of having a quote "holiday" if you pay for it with double or even triple the work load when you get back? I don't see the point. Yes I am glad to have the time to spend with family and friends. I would prefer to have a little more control of when I take it and when I get screwed. The mail never stops flowing and it just piles up, just like garbage. So when ever we take a day it just waits to for us to come back and thanks to the single mindedness of the Post Office we are pushed to get it all out in one day. There are some concessions made but not many.
I would prefer to choose the time and place that I get it up the ass. Oh and that would mean never and I mean NEVER take a Monday off. That is the dumbest idea ever. Mondays are already heavy due to the fact the again even though we are off on Sunday the mail still flows, so on Monday there is roughly two days of mail. God forbid that we have a Monday off due to a holiday cause that means we have the equivalent of three days of mail and since most stupid holidays that we have off are late in the year we are in the holiday rush of catalogs and ad letters and parcels. That means a shit-ton of mail on the Tuesday after a Monday holiday.
Just let us deliver the mail and choose when we take the days off. Of course people will take the holidays off like Thanksgiving and Christmas but Memorial day? Veterans Day? Labor Day? These I don't mind working and taking a day off later when I can use it. Like during the slow time after Christmas so I can go on a weekend trip or something.
Ok the rant is done.
Well now I am sitting here typing out a post after a day of sorting and organizing all the crap in my room. I took all the measurements for better shelves to maximize the storage and display space. Oh I also got my drawing/painting table cleaned off and acquired a second chair so I now have a chair for my computer/writing desk and one for the other. I feel so opulent (wow never thought I would ever get to use that word in a sentence and in the proper context!). I guess it is kind of the same feeling people had when they first had two TV's.
Tomorrow if I don't work (knock on wood) I will do both my laundry and visit my parents. I was supposed to do that today but just had to get the room worked on.
Oh I need to apologize to everyone that came home for the holiday for my absence but between work and going up to see Terri I was worn out. I am just not adjusted or accustom to the work load and the wear and tear on my body.
I feel all of my 37 years. I am not getting old! I am just not in shape.
Need to get back to working out.
Wow I have ranted and raved on and really said not one damn thing.
I feel just like a elected official!
Matt-Man for senator!
Matt-Man for congressman!
I mean Ben took Pope so I cannot take that.
I could be President but so far that seems like a suck job. Well definitely not a job that anyone takes seriously anymore.
Thanks Bush!!!!!!!!!
Ok well I will try and figure out a better post for later.

The only thing that sucked was having to leave early so I could get back to go to work.
You see I had to work the whole week of Thanksgiving. My regular makes a trip to visit with family in Tennessee. So I worked the whole week, including the day after. You see I am going to rant about this again.
What the hell is the point of having a quote "holiday" if you pay for it with double or even triple the work load when you get back? I don't see the point. Yes I am glad to have the time to spend with family and friends. I would prefer to have a little more control of when I take it and when I get screwed. The mail never stops flowing and it just piles up, just like garbage. So when ever we take a day it just waits to for us to come back and thanks to the single mindedness of the Post Office we are pushed to get it all out in one day. There are some concessions made but not many.
I would prefer to choose the time and place that I get it up the ass. Oh and that would mean never and I mean NEVER take a Monday off. That is the dumbest idea ever. Mondays are already heavy due to the fact the again even though we are off on Sunday the mail still flows, so on Monday there is roughly two days of mail. God forbid that we have a Monday off due to a holiday cause that means we have the equivalent of three days of mail and since most stupid holidays that we have off are late in the year we are in the holiday rush of catalogs and ad letters and parcels. That means a shit-ton of mail on the Tuesday after a Monday holiday.
Just let us deliver the mail and choose when we take the days off. Of course people will take the holidays off like Thanksgiving and Christmas but Memorial day? Veterans Day? Labor Day? These I don't mind working and taking a day off later when I can use it. Like during the slow time after Christmas so I can go on a weekend trip or something.
Ok the rant is done.
Well now I am sitting here typing out a post after a day of sorting and organizing all the crap in my room. I took all the measurements for better shelves to maximize the storage and display space. Oh I also got my drawing/painting table cleaned off and acquired a second chair so I now have a chair for my computer/writing desk and one for the other. I feel so opulent (wow never thought I would ever get to use that word in a sentence and in the proper context!). I guess it is kind of the same feeling people had when they first had two TV's.
Tomorrow if I don't work (knock on wood) I will do both my laundry and visit my parents. I was supposed to do that today but just had to get the room worked on.
Oh I need to apologize to everyone that came home for the holiday for my absence but between work and going up to see Terri I was worn out. I am just not adjusted or accustom to the work load and the wear and tear on my body.
I feel all of my 37 years. I am not getting old! I am just not in shape.
Need to get back to working out.
Wow I have ranted and raved on and really said not one damn thing.
I feel just like a elected official!
Matt-Man for senator!
Matt-Man for congressman!
I mean Ben took Pope so I cannot take that.
I could be President but so far that seems like a suck job. Well definitely not a job that anyone takes seriously anymore.
Thanks Bush!!!!!!!!!
Ok well I will try and figure out a better post for later.
May the Force be with you
Excelsior!!!

Matt-Man, Made From The Best Stuff On Earth!
Hail and well met!
I have not posted in awhile. For the most part I have been very busy working on finishing up the move. I had to make some shelving for the Matt-Cave so I could use the drawers that I got from Ben. So now I have more storage space. This is a good thing as I have discovered that I have WAY more stuff then I ever realized.
Things are still very tense right now. I have had to except that I cannot fix the situation with my parents and worrying about it only makes me worse off. I still care about them and their wellbeing, I just know that there is nothing I can do about it right now. I will help where I can and accept it when I can't.
Here is a strange side bar. I know that I am getting older. How do I know? Here is a shocker.
I like oatmeal.
I have never liked oatmeal before. On the bright side I don't like plain oatmeal, only the flavored kind. So there is still some kid in me still.
The job is the job. I hate parts of it but on a whole I like it. It is most certainly not what I want to do for the rest of my life but it will do for now. I just have to keep that in mind so I don't lose myself in it like I did at GO. You know keep my options open.
Terri is doing ok. I am going to go up and spend Thanksgiving with her family. I am working all that week for my regular as she goes to Tennessee to visit family. This is cool with me as she does it every year, the part that pisses me off are the other carriers. Two of them in particular. They habitually take the day after a holiday off due to the volume of mail that piles up. Come on people this is the job you chose for good or bad. Don't wuss out just cause it might be a little heavier after a holiday. That just means someone else has to take up your slack, which usually means me.
Anyway I am looking forward to the holiday week as it means that some people will be in from collage and I will have a chance to see them.
Oh hey if any of you are reading this I have a question to ask. Can any of you do any or all of the following things?
1) Attach a fan to a mother board?
2) Install said mother board into a tower?
3) Install a hard drive?
4) Install a power supply?
I ask this only because I thought I might try and fix my computer but I realize that I am just not that mechanically intuitive and don't want to screw it up. So if any of you do then shoot me a line either here or my email or even the forum so we can (if you don't mind) hook up and work on it. If not no big deal I will figure something out, I always do.
Heck just drop me a line so I can know when and where you are going to be if or when you are coming home so we can just hang out.

Matt-Man.....I Don't Know
Hail and well met
Ok so I am going to put it all here.
My parents are on the verge of being evited. Dad has been unable to get work in a steady enough flow to provide for the costs of living. I don't know what they are doing. I don't know what to do.
That is the major reason for my moving out. About four and a half months ago my Dad sat me down and informed me that at that point we (I was still living there) were three months behind on rent (technicly called carring charges). I was somewhat pissed off that he had waited to inform me of this situation and made the decision to move out.
The fact of the matter is that if not for the generocity and patience of my good friend Bill I would have been up shit creek to move out. I don't make enough at the Post Office to support myself. It makes me feel so useless and such a loser.
Now they are even closer to being kicked out and still I don't have any way to help. Not even an idea or avenue for them to get help. The only thing that keeps me sane is my Aunt Rebecca. She has made it clear that if worse comes to worse she will help them out. That means they will be going to Texas. At least they have that.
My hopes of getting my games produced are starting to look like pipe dreams. My job is starting to look like a dead end. If anything happens I am screwed. I know Bill would be nice but I cannot expect him to tolerate having no money coming from me. If things fall apart any more then they are right now I have nowhere to go and nothing to fall back on.
I am my Fathers son.
I don't want to be depressed but I don't know how to avoid it. That damned roaring abyss of darkness has creeped back in my gut.
Oh and there is Terri. No nothing is wrong. Well nothing except that I cannot be there for her. I don't have a stable job to allow me to be with her. There is little I can do to support her. All I have is the love I feel for her. Whoever said that love is enough needs to live in the real world for a couple of years. Cause as far as I can see love don't pay the bills or keep them from kicking you out.
I just don't know what to think or do anymore.

Matt-Man, Raise the Roof
Hail and well met
Ok quick post here. I am alive and well. Things are going well. I am finishing up my move out of the old house. It is kinda sad but things have to move forward.
I am still yearning to play....anything!
Well preferably a good RPG but I am willing to play almost anything.
I also desperately need to get back to painting.
Ok well I am off to do something. Hope to see everyone this weekend, oh I won't be making it to the concert cause I totally missed the fact that a ticket was required so I didn't get one. So I will be hanging around outside being all creepy and stuff till the party starts after. Oh yes I will be lurking.
Later all
May the Force be with you

Matt-Man and The Life
Hail and well met
I sit here realizing that I haven't posted for a number of days (more like a couple of weeks). In truth I have been a mix of busy and lazy. I have been working almost every day of the week. Again a lot of this has been short notice and has been driving me crazy.
I have been up to see Terri for the Wolves home opener and will be seeing her this coming weekend for the Haunted Trails. It is a trail in a forested park and several groups are allowed to create scenes that people then walk through. Our scene is about the "Wizard of Oz" but with a twist. I am playing the Tin-Man and have not been fully briefed on what the twisted part is. But my muse has been peaked and I have been furiously coming up with some ideas for a role play. I don't know the system but the story is getting really good. If anyone has any idea for what system to use let me know. I was thinking WOD since it kind of fits the mood of the story but I am open to suggestions.
Anyway I am also looking to get up to see Phantom of the Opera while it is in town. It is my hope to get to go with Terri. When I mentioned it she expressed an interest in seeing "Wicked" so I am looking into that.
I also really want to play something. I have been out of the gaming loop for way to damn long. Although I wouldn't mind some table top action I would also like to get some RPGing in as well.
I know many are away for school but I also know some home trips are coming up. Since the collapse of the super hero game this last summer I REALLY need to get a game going and finish it, or just give up on it altogether.
Well maybe not altogether but definitely pull back.
Nah who am I kidding? I love it way to much.
Anyway things are going well otherwise. The move has been halted while I am working so much. The next couple of days will see me off so I am hoping to make some strides in the direction of getting everything moved out.
I am still not fully adjusted to being out on my own...well sort of at least.
On other fronts I have heard from Ben in St.Louis and we are going to be starting up again. I am still considering my options as far as my games go but I still want to work with them. What sucks is that a trip down there would be the best way to get up to speed but with my out of control schedule that is not really possible.
But there is always the internet and phone calls. I am not giving up nor losing hope. I am alive and as long as there is life there is hope.
Yeah so looking forward to seeing Mel and Val tomorrow and the up coming Halloween party/concert. DAMN I need a costume! Wait maybe I can borrow the Tin-Man costume? I will have to look into that. Or I could get something together to be the infamous Matt-Man? Who knows.
So that wraps up things for now. I will hopefully see everyone soon or at least talk to them.

There and Back Again A Matt-Man Tale
Hail and well met
It has come to my attention that the Hollywood is yet again playing games with our hearts. I was working today and while placing mail in the case I came across Entertainment magazine. The cover announced that the Hobbit movie was going to be made and intimated veteran LoTR Director Peter Jackson would be doing it. Now I am not allowed to read other peoples magazines so I could not pop it open and get the real poop. I have done some online reading and it seems to contradict the assertions of the magazine.
The first problem was the fight over the rights to make the movie. I don't know the particulars but someone had the rights to make the film and would not give them up for New Line or any other studio to make a Hobbit movie.
Apparently that has been rectified. Thank the maker for that, cause I was getting ready to pop a industrial can of Matterocity on the subject.
Now I have come to understand that a conflict between Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema is keeping the man who was born to bring Tolkin's works to the silver screen. For those that don't know here it is in a nutshell (please read up on this for complete details and all the nuisances)
New Line Cinema is alleged to have doctored the books on the bottom line take on The Fellowship of the Ring DVD sales and in doing so stiffed Jackson money.
Again it is somewhat more complicated then that but that covers the basics.
DOES MATT-MAN HAVE TO FLY TO WHEREVER NEW LINE CINEMA'S OFFICES ARE AND LAY THE MATTEROCITY DOWN!!!
Just make the damn movie and let Peter Jackson do what he was born to do.
Does New Line owe him money? I don't know and can't say.
All I do know is that I want a Hobbit movie!
I WANT IT NOW!!!
Ok I am out of here for now.
Go and look up the Hobbit on IMDB.com for further information.

Matt-Man, You've Got It!
Hail and well met
It has been a little while since I posted. Mostly I have been working or recovering from work. There are a few things have happened, seeing Terri being the most notable.
I am in good spirits and health. The next two weeks will be telling as I am working for the majority of both of them. It is good news on the cash flow note but as far as free time goes it sucks. Ah well I am not one to complain...much. It is the same ole' soapbox. No set scheduling, being on call 24/6 (we all have Sunday off) and all the stress that comes from coming in to someone else's mess and cleaning it up. Now it has been rougher then usual as I have run afoul of my Post Master. It started with a simple mistake while recording my time on the card and then followed up later that week by a misunderstanding that was taken to far. I won't go into details as I am not sure where that dreaded boundary line is on what is privileged information and what is open to the public.
Today things seemed better but I know that the ugliness is just waiting under the surface to pop out and strike me. Unfortunately what they don't understand is the one fact that keeps me going with a smile on my face (albeit pained and strained at times) and that fact is ....
I am Matt-Man
and
I am INVINCIBLE!!!!
No weapon formed against me shall prosper and any voice that rises up against me I shall condemn. If the attempt to come in like a flood, a standard shall be raised against them.
These are paraphrased verses from the bible (yes I still believe in and read it). So just let them try and destroy me and they will discover just how painful it feels to run into a solid brick wall (spiritually speaking that is).
Things are going well and I am looking forward to the next few months and the challenges that come along with them.
I hope this finds all well and if not then let me know about it. Give me a call, drop me a email or something. Come on people I am your friend and I care. I may not have the time or mental capacity to call I apologize but the communication road goes both ways.
Anyway enough for this post I am off to change my clothes, relax for a while and then maybe go see Resident Evil Extinction.
May the Force be with you all

Matt-Man and the Roller Coaster of Life
Hail and well met
Wow it has been a roller coaster since my last post. To start off I had an amazing time at Lothlorien. The weather not withstanding (it was hot and humid in the day but the nights were cool, literally cold). It was great seeing everyone again. Walking through those woods was relaxing and revitalizing.
Then I got back. Today was a royal pain in the ass. Tons of mail and to top it all off getting dumped half of route 10. On a Monday they decide to give me half of another route, albeit the aux route (which means it is not big enough to be considered a real full time route) it is still a pain to deal with more stops when Penny Savers are involved.
So after working an 11 hour day half of which was in a car with the sun beating down I am in a world of pain and discomfort.
Now comes some good news. It is going to be an awesome rest of the week. Thursday I am running up to Terri's for a lobster dinner at Bob Chins with a tour of the facility. It should be amazing. Then after work Saturday I am again running to see Terri but this time it is at a campground in Peoria and then back to her place. The great thing is that I don't work on that Monday so I can stay and be with her. It is going to be AMAZING!
So yeah it has been a upper and downer couple of days. But life is that way sometimes. It is not the things that happen to us but how we deal with them that counts.
Ok that is all for this post I will see everyone later.

So yeah it has been a upper and downer couple of days. But life is that way sometimes. It is not the things that happen to us but how we deal with them that counts.
Ok that is all for this post I will see everyone later.
May the Force be with you

Hail and well met
It has been a deep and painful morning. Today is the 16th of September and it is my birthday. I was born in 1969 in St. James hospital. Today I am 38 years old.
At first I tried to forget about it being my birthday. I had all but succeeded when my awesome girlfriend Terri reminded me last night. Thank you sweetie it was important that I not forget it or let it pass by. You are the most amazing thing in my life and the reason for me staying in the world. With out you I would have slipped back into my ghost mode and allowed everything to pass me by. In you I have found the strength to fight off the darkness that dwells within and tries again and again to drag me down and turn my eyes inward. You see the inward turned eye sees nothing but self and in that I would have lost any vision of that which lies outside. I was there once before and it was the worst time of my life. All I concerned myself with was how I was in pain and alone, but I was creating that by looking only inward. I was keeping everyone and everything away, it has taken me a long time to be willing to say all of this.
We are taught that evil, the devil or whatever you call it exists outside as some entity. This incarnation of evil attempts to hurt us or turn us away from goodness with these powers that seem to be greater then the powers of good. That is a lie and to use the colloquialism "straight out of the pit of hell". This thing is not outside in some fire filled pit, it is within all of us. It is that voice that tries to turn us against ourselves. As for its great powers, it has none save the ability to lie and lie well. It has to trick us into using our own God given powers for its purpose. That is how it works. We are the creation of the Creator and in such we are given a measure of his power, the power to create. No matter how big or small we all create in some way, fashion or form and that is the Creator's power expressing itself through us. This pathetic little evil has no powers of its own so it lies to us and tricks us into using our powers for its needs and in turn we hurt others and make things that hurt others and ourselves.
This morning it almost won. I almost turned away from everything I know is right and gave up. It was trying to make me feel that I am a waste of space and time. With sickening sweet words it tried to convince me that I was not worthy of all the good things in my life or capable of being anything more then I am right now. Worst of all it tried to take away Terri by making me think I was not worthy of her and that she could do better with someone else, so I should push her away to find that person.
But all of that is a HUGE LIE. A lie that I don't buy into nor do I give any credence to. To go back to a moment when I found light in darkness the first time I recall two things. One is a quote from a movie that is a abridged version of a quote from an inspirational speaker named Marianne Willamson and I place it here for all to read again.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
-Marianne Williamson
The second is a strange little audio clip that I cannot find again, maybe it never really existed except for that moment when I needed it. I will do my best to paraphrase.
We are the creation of the Creator, no matter what you call him. He did not create us to be weak and powerless but gave us great power. He gave it to us! All we have to do is except it we become invincible. We have to envision him giving us this power, this light as all of our friends, loved ones do as well. We are invincible! Just except that nothing can destroy you, the real you not this crude body of flesh and blood, the being of light that is the real you and me.
Ever since I heard and read these two things I have found that I can face that inner voice of doubt and fear with renewed strength and resistance.
Even this morning when it struck with vengeance.
I was watching "Lady in the Water" ,an awesome movie and it struck. I do not choose to give its words the any power by repeating them. It is safe to say that it attacked me on many levels. Maybe it was the fact of it being my birthday and all that it brings with it, I was weak to its attack and almost fell to it. It is also the fact that I am coming to realize that yet again I am losing my family.
No not my parents, although there is some trouble there as well. No I am referring to my extended family. You see I lost the family I made in high school when everyone went away, I quickly found others but it still hurt. Then I had a family at 3D House of Games, but they were taken away. Then I had the family at Gameopolis and for all my might they are going away as well. Please don't misunderstand I know it is the natural progression of things and I am glad and proud that everyone is developing their own lives and taking the first steps on their own paths, but that does not stop it from hurting. Things have passed and will never be again. I must accept this and in doing so move on.
All of these things have built up in me and that damnable voice tried to trick me into falling the abyss because of them. Only one thing kept me from falling in.
Terri.
I love you so much! It was thinking about you and what we have together that gave me the ability to turn away and allow the voice to fall silent. It was knowing how you feel about me that filled my limbs with strength to type this and in doing so fully free myself from its grip. Thank you for loving me and know that I shall always love you.
I AM MATT-MAN!
I AM INVINCIBLE!
WE ARE ALL INVINCIBLE!
To close I quote from Babylon 5 a Egyptian blessing...
May God stand between you and harm in all the empty places where you must walk.
May the Force be with you all

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Things Go Better With Matt-Man
Hail and well met
It has been a few days since I posted. Mostly because I have been running around. Last weekend I went up to see Terri for Labor day. It was amazing.
Since then I have been running around like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. I have never seen such a rush of mail. We still have not caught up. I have been getting up an hour earlier and getting home later. It looks to be around 10 to 12 hour days. I am hoping to get Friday off and make a trip up to see everyone Thursday night and maybe Friday during the day and early evening. I am also going to make it up to Ferric's concert and B-Day Bash this Saturday.
It should be awesome.
Oh I know I have not posted the rest of the Gen Con report...in truth I will do so but consider it the abridged cliffnote version. Sort of the bullet points.
Other then that I am good, tired but good. I cannot wait to see everyone.

I'd Sleep with Matt-Man...
Hail and well met
Yeah I would have to say that if given a chance I would sleep with Matt-Man, of course I have to since I am Matt-Man but it is a good feeling to know that if I ever found myself at a bar I wouldn't mind going home with me.
I do have to say that things are not really great. I don't know what is wrong but I know I am not right. No I don't intend to spiral into a boring post about me (and lets face it I am quite boring). No I am just trying to get a handle on why all of a sudden I am unable to get away...
Wait I may have just put my finger on it and I don't really like it one bit.
I was getting away from my P's when I went out to lansing before and now I don't have to do that to be me I can be me right here. I am not being repressed by the set of conditions that I was living in. Wait that really makes me an asshole. Cause I used people as an escape from my situation and now that that situation has changed I seem to be unable to head out and see them?
Oh CRAP! What the fuck is wrong with me? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
I don't want to think that I can do something like that but it is apparent that I have and am doing that. That only means one thing, I have to change what I a doing.
I will cut myself a little slack as it is the first time in my life I am free to be the me that has always been locked up while I was living at my P's house. It is kind of like not having something for a real long time and then being able to have it and going ape shit. There is a word for that, what is it?
Oh yeah binging.
Alright then I have to stop binging and take control of my life and change.
Crap what was I originally going to post on? I lost sight of it in the light of self realization. Damn bright light...
No
Damn sunrise, hurts my eyes!
Ben for Pope!

Matt-Man on The Movies
Hail and well met
I know that I have to finish talking about Gen Con and I will but first I have to talk about a movie I just found out about. Knowing how things go I am sure I am the last to know about it but here it goes anyway. It is called Dragon War and it is a special effects extravaganza. I gather from the story that dragons once were used as weapons in ancient wars and some how come back in present day. I don't care about the story much cause I intend on watching dragons of all types battle it out on the big screen. Take a look at the trailer and some of the other stuff on the site Dragon-war.
Ok now to finish talking about Gen Con. Were did I leave off, oh yeah I went back to the hotel and went to sleep. Well not right away I had to figure out what I was going to do all the next day. So I looked and searched through the event catalog for things I wanted to do. I found several seminars I wanted to attend (yes I said wanted to but I will explain soon). So with that in mind I shut off the TV set my phone alarm and went to bed.
I awoke the next morning all ready to go. I had gotten up at around 6 so I had plenty of time to make it to my first seminar at 8. I showered and dressed then headed out. After spending 40 plus minutes finding a way down town and then a parking space I was ready to get down to buisness. I waked in and found my friend Dennis first so I could try and coordinate that evenings activities. As I was talking to him I overheard someone talking and mentioning the time. The said it was 8:30, which by my phone was an hour off. I mentioned it to Dennis and he said something about it being an hour difference down here to up by us. Being a dense block I didn't even realize what that meant.
So I took off to make it to my seminar. As I approached the door I could hear people talking inside and then the doors opened as people left the seminar. It had just ended. I stood there and realized what a idiot I had been. I forgot to set my phone ahead an hour, but then again I thought it did that on its own.
Well that set the tone for my seminar viewing for the rest of the day. I went to the dealer hall and waked around. I stopped by the Privateer booth and saw something new. They are coming out with wreck tokens for jacks. They come in two sizes and sit on a base so they can be removed if lets say they are used for something. I like them and will be picking them up as soon as they are available through Mr.S. I have to say it was a really packed booth and I found it hard to maneuver so I didn't get a good look to see if any new mini's were being displayed. I was happy to see the interest and activity at their booth.
The other big things I saw, well the one big thing I say was Magnificent Ego's booth. They were teamed up with Dead Gentlemen Productions. The grand news is that Gamers 2 is done but now it is waiting for someone to pick it up for distribution. I saw a miniature that I wanted to check out but then decided not to cause I couldn't afford to spend that kind of money cause although I love magnificent ego's miniatures but the ones I love are REAL EXPENSIVE. It looked like an amber hulk queen cause it had wings! It was cool. The big problem now is that I cannot find it on the web to figure out it's name. Anyway while I was there I had an opportunity to talk to the guys and found out that Margret Wies productions is making a RPG for the Demon Hunters license. I have the starter rules and from what I have read it sounds like a blast.
I have a training DVD for the game and it should be funny (no I haven't looked at it as I am holding off till we all can have a look). I wanted to catch the debut showing of Gamers 2 but again I missed it cause if I tried to go I would have missed going to the VIG dinner with Dennis. Which was pretty cool. I got to see some people in the industry like Gary Gygax, Zev from Z-Man games and a few others that I don't know. It was an awesome meal with some other gamers. The meal was awesome, I mean real food not standard buffet fare.
Anyway I had a blast and it was a good time. I have a plan for next year and I will let everyone in soon.
I have to apologize to everyone for being so distant but things are just nuts around here. I keep trying to find time but every time I turn around something goes wrong or takes way longer then I planned. Tomorrow I am going to come out. I don't care what is going on I am going to come out and see everyone. I will car before just in case it is a bad idea but I am calling and coming out. I really miss seeing everyone. It really sucks. I have so much I want to do and time seems to escape me.

Matt-Man comes home...Finally!
Hail and well met
Well I am home and done with the running around I have been doing. I have a ton to talk about but I have no time right now. I just want to stop by and tell everyone that all is good and I am very well.
I will post again in the next few day telling all about Gen Con and everything else.

Matt-Man Returns...Oh Wait He Is Off Again!!!
Hail and well met
I don't have a lot of time to type but I just wanted to say that I am back and heading up to see Terri at the CD release party. Tomorrow looks in jeopardy due to the rain. In fact I am going to have to say it is most likely a wash out (ha ha but I am not kidding). I do know that Terri wants to do something for Labor Day weekend and it may work out that we end up going on that Monday after a party on Sunday, which everyone is invited to.
As far as Gen Con is concerned it was a good trip, not perfect but good. Perfect is going to be next year...but that a story for later.

Matt-Man Countdown to GenCon
Hail and well met
Well it is getting closer every minute. As I see it there is about 12 an a half hours till I take off. It is going to be an amazing weekend, crazy busy but amazing. I will roll into Indianapolis around 12 or 1 o'clock. I plan on heading back early Saturday morning and should be in town around 10 or 11 o'clock. I will be stopping around the area before I head off to met up with Terri and make our way to Chicago City Limits for the CD release party for Khaos Theory. I just found out about it earlier this week. If anyone wishes to come along that is cool. I know it is rather sudden but again I only just figured out it was this weekend.
After that wonderful evening of drunken debauchery, and as long as the weather doesn't screw things by raining we will be heading to the ren fair on Sunday.
Well I am heading off to bed so I can get up and get ready. I hope to see everyone soon and those that are off at school I hope all is well and I will hopefully see you soon.
May the Force be with you

Matt-Man...Yeah that is it
Hail and well met
So things are what they are. People are starting to head off back to school. Yet again I feel the sensation of a house with all the children leaving. At times I am really glad I don't have children because I don't think I could handle watching them go away.
Well yet again I am working extra hours. Now please don't think that I am really complaining but as I have said before it is just the random nature of it all. Well no matter what I am going to Gen Con this Thursday and Friday. Then I am back in town for a few hours the off to Terri's for a trip to the Ren Fair this Sunday. Hey again anyone that wants to go with feel free to shoot me a line and we can work something. I am coming back on Sunday evening cause I work on Monday.
That is all the time I have right now. I will talk to all when I have a moment.

Matt-Man Rides Again!
Hail and well met
Well the car is fixed. It was the fan and the adjoining relay that had broken not allowing the radiator to be cooled when the car is standing still or in extreme stop and go driving (like delivering mail). Well they are both replaced and everything is working up to specs.
Unfortunately that leaves me quite out of cash. That of course sucks cause it keeps me stuck here in the house and more importantly prevents me from doing the ren fair this weekend.
But that is not really uber important. I will try and be around see everyone cause I know that we are fast approaching the return to school. Which brings me to a rather painful sticking point. My game has really fallen by the way side. I apologize to all for not being able to get out there and keep it going. I only hope we can pull off at least a couple of more sessions to try and wrap things up. I am not giving up on the game but it may have to go into the freezer.
Ok I don't have much more to say right now. I miss seeing everyone. I miss swimming. I miss hanging out. In truth it really sucks ass and I am getting really pissed off about it. But there is not one damn thing I can do right now about it which is the most painful thing about it.
I hope to see everyone soon.

Matt-Man Gets Hot
Hail and well met
Things have gotten annoying. My car is giving me a royal pain in the ass. Yesterday it decided to overheat while I was working. Luckily one of the other subs could come out and drive while I delivered the mail. When I got back and started my car it was fine, on the drive home it was fine. No sign of over heating at all. This morning when I went to work it was fine. Then I started delivering the mail and it overheated again. So I had to deliver the mail with the heater blasting, what fun. So it appears that something is wrong possibly the fan or something else. Anyway it has totally screwed me. I was supposed to go up and be with Terri for her Relay for Life in Antioch. That is out. I was also hoping to get out to Lansing, that is also out. So here I get to sit on my ass with nothing to do.
Well that is about the size of it. My car is going in on my first day off which is Tuesday. I hope it is cheap cause right now I am getting really close to broke. I was trying to save some cash for GenCon but at this rate I will not even bother going. Dammit this really sucks.
The biggest thing is that I cannot go see anyone. Time is running out for hanging out, let alone maybe trying to play a game.
Well I hope everything is going well with everyone.

Matt-Man...What were you expecing.......Nixon??
Hail and well met one and all
Welcome to my blog.
Yes Yes I know that it has been here for awhile and I have posted a number of things here but every once and awhile it is important to stop and realize that maybe some people have stumbled on this blog and do not know me in person like most of the readers do. Of course they should go running and screaming in terror at what they read here cause I am a crazy lunatic but hey if they happen to share my insanity then welcome aboard, feel free to say hi or anything what so ever.
Also it is important to make a distinction between what came before and what will come after. Yes I have done this before but it usually accompanied me totally tossing away my blog and starting a new one. Well not this time. I have no reason to change the blog just because I have changed. But what you might ask has changed?
I have discovered my passion. Oh I have spoken on numerous occasions about how I am the defender of creativity and the champion of imagination. Well true as that may be it is also a fact that I have done little or nothing to aid that cause. That is about to change. I discovered a whole pile of stuff that I had acquired to make games with. Games that I made or were making. I have realized that my most happy moments (aside from the time I spend with Terri and my friends) are when I am plugging away at a game. From designing the story or premise to actually formulating the rules I love it all. I feel complete when I am doing it and I get a sense of satisfaction from it as well.
Now don't get me wrong I intend to keep my day job, although it may not be needed if things really take off. Oh and don't think I don't hear the naysayers "there is no market for that" "It is just a pipe dream". Yeah maybe it is but it was also the pipe dream of a little man that wanted to write stories and publish them. Stan Lee is one of my greatest inspirations and a hero of mine. He never set out to do what he did, he didn't go to school to do it and he had no training in it either. If he can do all that he has done then I can do what I dream as well. Again it won't be easy but I will make it happen!
So please realize that I am serious and I will not brook any down playing or nay saying. I don't have time to defend my choice nor am I inclined to. If you don't like it then either keep it to yourself or expect to be ignored. No I don't believe that anyone really wants to do either of those but just in case there is the warning. No one can sue me for not taking the proper precautions with hazardous matt-erial.
HA HA yes I said it and I meant it.
So I am just back from having 300 dollars I don't have ripped from my ass for my brakes. What really sucks is that I just had them done not more then a month an a half ago. Well it appears the motherless sons of mutant lame goats didn't do a good job or a proper job. Anyway my mechanic fixed it but it is going to hurt. I may have to curtail my outside activities which sucks. The one things I cannot forgo is the Relay for Life this weekend with Terri, I promised to be there and I will.
Yeah I know again a Sunday that supers may not happen, but from the way people were acting I don't think anyone really cares about it anyway.
So I am going to be blitzing this all over. August the 5th I would like to invite anyone and everyone to join myself and my good woman at the Bristol Renaissance Fair. Now I know it is short notice but it is a chance for a large group to go (since people are going back to collage). I was thinking of heading up Saturday night and people could camp out or sleep inside (remember Terri has 2 cats and 1 dog) Then an early morning jaunt up to the fair and a good day had by all.
Let me know cause if it won't work we can move it back to the 19th.
Ok that is all the time I have to type right now. See everyone soon.

Matt-Man is ALIVE....HE'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
Hail and well met
Ok Matt-man is not dead, maybe a zombie but not dead.
The Force is not a dream nor is it stupid
Oh yeah and there is a God and he hates when you say there isn't one.
No I wasn't visited by an angelic being that made me see that I was being a dumbass. I was just sitting watching "That 70's Show" and I realized that things are what they are and I need to get off my butt. Yeah there are things that are not cool in my life but they aren't going to fix themselves nor will sitting around feeling sorry for myself and whining about how things suck going to get them done. Yeah it is hard when your energy is sucked out of by life but that is the way it is.
I am not giving up. It ain't going to be easy and I have a shit-ton to learning to do but if I want my dreams to become reality I have to make it happen......
DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!
I hate that phrase! I really do. It was the crappy catch phrase at Toy's R Us back in the day. It was so annoying to hear those lazy managers stand there and spout off all this crap that we had to do and then top it off with "So lets make it happen.". Such hypocrites cause they would then go and hide in the managers office or the SKU booth to avoid actually working. I hated them so much, almost as much as that phrase and here I am using it.
And meaning it, and understanding what it means! CRAP!
Ok that really depresses me. Takes all the wind out of my sails.
Well I can tell you one thing. I may "make it happen" but dammit I am doing it my way. NO TIES! NO UGLY SMOCKS! AND NO FUCKING GIRAFFES!!!!!
Yeah take that, no giraffes.
Well this post has gone way off target but I feel better.
I will talk to everyone soon, and I will post a more lucid...um post....damn that sounds stupid but what else can I call it...Oh I know a word thingy!
Yeah like I can be lucid, ha who am I kidding.
May the Force be with all of you

Matt-Man...What we talking about?
Hail and well met
Well I know I have been out of the loop. It has been real hard to run the routes I have been running, getting up at 6 to be to work by 7 and then work until 3 or 4 (on a good day that is). I get home and find I lack any energy to do much of anything but doing a few thing around here and then get to bed for the next day. I was hoping that I would be getting better at it by now but it does not seem to be working out that way.
I would normally apologize here for being gone but that is not going to happen. I am not sorry just...I guess the word is disappointed. It appears that I have been under some delusion about how life could (or as I believed, should) work. Now I can see that any idea of being my own anything was stupid. I am just a cog in someone else's machine and that is all I can ever hope to be. I don't have the skills or talents to break out and leave the slave pits behind. When I should have been learning such skills and garnering such talents I was "having fun". Stupid! I am so dumb.
I could list off a number of things that I am pissed at right now. The biggest problem is that the only one that really sticks is ME.
Yeah I thought I had come so far. Had reached such pinnacles and left these thoughts behind. Well it appears that all I was doing was lying to and disillusioning myself. I am a loser of the first magnitude and a failure to rival my Father.
Way to go Dad! You succeeded in making a better dumbass then you. GREAT!
Whatever.
There is no God.
The Force is a stupid dream
and super heroes are for children or lunatics.
Matt-Man is dead.....

?????Ok it appears that I cannot enter a title for this post????
So here it goes the old fashion way.
Matt-Man is on the Job!
Hail and well met
Well things have been a bit strained as of late. I have been working which is good. On the other hand it has been insanely hot when I worked and it has been kicking my ass (quite literally but I won't go into details). It has affected my ability to do much of anything. Working on my move has come to a complete halt, well almost I did accomplish some things today but not nearly as much as I need to have done by now.
Yeah I know all things take time but this is just getting to me. I mean I need the money (boy that is an understatement) but I also need the time to get the things done that I have to get done. I guess the big problem is just the physical affect it is having on me.
I also have been dealing with the fact that I have not been able to spend the time with Terri that I need to. Oh yes believe me it has become a need and a want. I like being around her, I like the way I think around her and the way she makes me feel (no sickos I don't mean that way...but that is amazing as well) I know that I love her and I want to do the best I can to make it possible for us to be together, and that is the other half of the problem. I don't think the Post Office is going to allow that to happen. I don't know if I can explain it in words but I just have this sinking sensation that I cannot depend on this job to see me though. Maybe it is just my past experiences creeping in to my mind but it is there.
Meh I am not getting anywhere with this and I know that it doesn't resolve anything. I have to make some decisions and take some chances. Boy that is tough given my past. Ah yes old wounds never really do heal you just forget about them until they come up again and it all comes flooding back. The pain the loss and the crashing of dreams.
Again I am saying meh. I am going to do what I have to do cause the other option is to give up on having a life with Terri...well if she wants one with me.
What is going to happen will happen and there is nothing I can do about it but enjoy the ride. Maybe I can choose the seat I am sitting in? I used to sit in the back but maybe now is the time to sit in the front?
May the Force be with you

Matt-Man on a Mission
Hail and well met
Well I have been digging into the background of that mysterious trailer at the beginning of Transformers. What I have found is little to nothing.
The production company for the film is Bad Robot. This is the same company that did the TV series Alias and Lost. They are also the company behind the new Star Trek movie.
From what I gather it is a giant monster movie as I figured, but not Godzilla. The film is going to be shot from a first person perspective using home video cameras. The way it sounds there will be little or no shots of the monster in question only the carnage and madness that ensues. Sounds interesting and I would go see it. I will keep my ears and eyes open on the subject.
Oh and by the way it is being called CLOVERFIELD as a working title for security and secrecy reasons. Apparently there was a Youtube video of the trailer but it was pulled by Paramount for copyright issues. Yeah like that will last more then a couple of days before it shows up again.
Anyway it sounds intersing and I have to say the trailer caught my attention and peeked my interest. In fact I would have to agree that it is one of the best trailers I have seen in a while.
Ok that is all for now. I have to get ready and head out to the loft for the PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!
