I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Matt Dinniman, and I live in Tucson, AZ. I am a writer who currently has two books available. The Shivered Sky and Trailer Park Fairy Tales. I have a website over at Matt Dinniman dot com

My Interests

Writing, reading, speculative fiction, chicks named Meredyth.

I'd like to meet:

Writers, mostly. And readers as well.

Music:

Progressive metal, mostly. My favorite bands are Dream Theater, Fates Warning, Green Carnation, Devin Townsend, Evergrey, etc.

Television:

I don't watch too much TV anymore. Except for Judge Judy, Family Guy, and the occasional Discovery Channel show.

Books:

My favorite book is Tigana, by Guy Gavriel Kay. I could probably list a million other books I love, so let's just leave it at that.

Whataburger Hookers and Literary Agent, Barbara Bauer, Ph.D.

Went to Whataburger again (I know, I know. But I like their French fries all of a sudden). The hooker was there again at the payphone, but she didn't say anything to me. But it for some reason reminde...

Monday Meme

I'm seeing if technorati tags work well with these crappy-ass myspace blogs. I'm doing my awmondaymemes. I really should port this to a respectable system like blogspot, whatever, but I know I'm more ...

Whine, rant, plug

First off, I'm never shaving my balls again. I don't know how the guys in pornos do it. This itching is killing me. My knee has suddenly decided to hurt again, and it's starting to piss me off. It sho...

Your Procedure

11:29 You arrive for your appointment just in time. The parking lot at St. Mary's hospital is completely full, and you and your wife have to park way out on the side. Then you get lost inside the hosp...

Ahh, Spring. Life has come full circle.

This a completely true story, and it is less than an hour old. I just love spring. It's getting warmer, and that can mean only one thing: the hookers are coming back to Park avenue and S. Sixth. There...

Ladies, it's your last chance.

So, I'm getting a vasectomy on Friday. If you want your very own Mattling, you better act now. And watch out for my wife, 'cause she'd probably have an issue with that. I keep having this waking night...
