An ordinary schmuck who loves brainstorming on Myspace!

About Me

Hi guys and gals! My name is Matt LaClear and I'm an ordinary schmuck who happens to make a pretty decent living helping real estate agents market themselves on Myspace. My wife and I and our six children live on a beautiful piece of property just south of Lansing, Michigan in a rural farming community. We have a very picturesque winding creek that runs alongside our 10 acres and my wife loves sitting out next to it reading and listening to it babble and flow. I myself like walking the back of the property where I regularly see deer, turkey, pheasant, coyotes, and a bunch of other critters including very cool cranes that have a call that sounds just like a bugle. They fly in pairs and you can hear them coming from about a mile away. They like wading through the creek snagging whatever they can find to eat. Though we made more money in 2006 than we did all of 2000-2005 combined we still drive a couple of 1989 vehicles that run great. We just don't see the need to keep up with the Joneses when we live in a pretty isolated community. I particularly like our pool house because it gives me a place to work in solitude away from our brood of children. I love the little snots but man they can sure disrupt my work. So I go out and hide and return after a couple hours when my work for the day is completed.

My Interests

I love hunting and fishing but I am absolutely horrendous at both. Though I just love being outdoors and have a great time even if I don't catch or shoot anything.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who has a positive mindset or looking to make a few bucks to supplement their income.So far the most famous person I have ever met was the President of The United States when he had me over for dinner. Just kidding! I really haven't met anyone all that famous.Though everyday when I look in the mirror I get to meet Matt LaClear. And folks it has taken me a long time to realize that's a pretty cool thing.

Music:

I alternate between rock, classical and Christian music. Which pretty much covers the entire music spectrum. Oh I also love the Blues but cannot stand Jazz or soul. Can't understand how anybody can be in to them either. But different strokes for different folks.

Movies:

Any inspirational movie is my fav. Recently I watched Invincible with Mark Wahlberg and absolutely loved it!

Television:

MSU Spartan Basketball baby, And my Detroit Tigers of course.

Books:

Vonnegut, Hemmingway, and Adams are my favorite! But my all time favorite is of course -- Matt LaClear.

Heroes:

I would have to say my dad Jody LaClear is my hero. He's always been there for me and I certainly appreciate him more than he thinks or I let on. We have one of those weird relationships where we really don't tell each other how we feel about each other. But we both know how we feel anyways. And it works for us so don't go judging us ladies!
