Dear people that care about me. I have not been entertaining as of late. And for that i apologize. i've posted a few blog entries about books i'm wanting to write. i've started a few, then changed my mind. I think i finally have a subject that i want to stick with. Are you ready for it? i'm not telling. i've come up with an outline and have about 10 pages of single spaced 12 point times new roman that is basically just random thoughts about a variety of things that catch my attention. Similar to a normal blog entry of mine...which this started out as. But i couldn't stop writing. It has a major theme, but that's what i'm keeping to myself. maybe you're asking hey matt, aren't you too young to write a book? I don't think so. i'm writing about things that deal with my life and those around me. And at the same time, millions of people are going through the same thing. It won't have a secret to life. It won't be an epic. It won't have much that you don't already know. It won't even be that exciting. It will probably never be published. Unless by me down at Kinkos. But if you enjoy my blogs...it's going to be incredible. I just love writing. And i think this would make me feel more accomplished than anything in the world. When it's finished, i'm going to be giving out electronic copies for free. Unless a publisher picks it up. Then i'm going to get rich

Donations

Thanks to everyone who has sent in money! I'll update the total amount in a few days, but if you still haven't done so and would like to, I'm going to end the donations saturday night so I can write Kaylee a check. So get them in before it's too late. You guys are awesome.

Please read...and donate

My brother was taking his girlfriend back to college when two cars wrecked in front of him and he couldn't stop in time. They are both physically ok, but the car burst into flames and destroyed a lot of Kaylee's clothes, shoes, and personal belongings, including an art portfolio that cannot be replaced. I feel awful for them, and seeing as I don't have a lot of money I figured it was worth a shot to see how much I could do with social networking. I don't know what it would feel like to have my personal belongings burn up, but I can guess that having some extra spending money would make the process a bit easier. If you've ever been in an accident, you know how long and annoying the process of collecting insurance money is. I just want to help her out as much as I can, so please. Donate what you can. Even if it's only a dollar. It will mean a lot to both of them. You can use any major credit card, and it's all going straight to her. Thanks to everyone, and keep Kaylee and Toph in your prayers.



The donation period is now over due to the fact that I had to transfer the money to my bank account. Thank you all for your amazing generosity.

Not moving is the goal of every day

I figured out the difference between men and women today. This might be one of my greatest revolutions to this day. Before I start, I will include a disclaimer so I don't get yelled at and hated. The following is merely meant for humor and entertainment and has no intentions of demeaning the female gender. It is all based on stereotypes and things that aren't always true. Now, with that being said, I give you a key difference between the two genders.

I was second-handedly asked the question, "What's so great about football?" today. I thought about a legitimate and philosophical answer, but came to a conclusion almost immediately. Watching football is great because it allows us to be competitive without actually having to do anything. We can actually sit in a recliner, drink a beer, and eat cheese dip, and still be competing with one another. Which brings me to my main point about guys. Guys will do whatever involves the least amount of moving with the most amount of payoff. Human beings always strive to compete with one another. I think I actually wrote about that a year or so ago. But we always want to one up the next person or get that feeling of satisfaction. And while the outcome of a football game has no true effect on the outcome of our lives, it is where men get their competitive fix.

With women it's different. Women get their competitive high from each other. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've heard plenty of girls tell me that they don't dress up to impress other guys, but they do it to better another girl. It's not even trying to compete for a guy, it's about trying to be the best looking girl at the club. Now I'm not a girl...obviously. Maybe not obviously, but take my word for it. So I don't know if this is true, but it seems like it sometimes. There is a whole new world of drama that exists between girls that guys don't even know about. And it always stems from competition. Why do guys have less drama in their lives than girls? Too much effort. It's much easier to just say it's cool and remaining motionless on the couch.

This common goal for competition is what makes guys and girls different. This is why guys don't dress up for an 8am final on a Monday morning, but some girls will come in full makeup, hair curled, and heels. Guys are too lazy for that. And the ends don't justify the means. We don't get our satisfaction from being the best looking guy in a classroom. Because that's just way to much work. That's why we turn to football. You combine all of our favorite things...not moving, drinking beer, eating, and watching TV. All you have to do is put on a football game, and there's our competition. This is why men are drawn to sports. And women are drawn to drama and competing with each other because that's what TV shows tell them to do in order to be competitive. Also, it's how we're made. A girl will never be able to tell a guy why she feels the need to wake up at 6:30am so they look good for a class full of dudes that don't care. At least he won't understand it. Because of our lazy nature. But she knows.

To put it simply, guys are lazy. And girls work harder to compete because they're not. Happy New Year.

Year Spaceship

here's a list of my new years resolutions.

1. Stop being angry all the time
2. Stop picking my nose and wiping it under the seat of my car
3. Keep the house clean
4. Listen to more music
5. Prioritize my life
6. Keep my car clean.
7. Wash clothes before i start to smell bad
8. Run at least 12 miles a week
9. Take showers
10. Answer my phone every once in a while

there's 10 amongst the many things i need to start doing. there's a few more, but they're a little too personal for the world to read. i'll go ahead and give myself a 5 percent success rate for the first month. Which brings me to my final and most important resolutions. Have more faith in myself. Stop second guessing everything. Love me for me. that's going to be the hardest one. Because the me right now isn't the me i want to be.

So happy new year to all. Come hang out with me at rocketown tomorrow. let's ring in the new year with music and fun times.
