If I'm not chasing demons, demons are chasing me...

About Me

"Who is Matthew Grant you ask...you didn't ask...well i'm going to tell you anyway... I am perfectly imperfect. I wear my heart and my mouth on my sleeve. I talk to my mama and nana everyday. I am an only child. I have made a lot of mistakes, but i'm getting better. I love to eat. I can be selfish. I am too sensitive sometimes. I overthink. I am random. I fall asleep to the TV most of the time. I crave love. I am all about some dancing. I am a child of God. I have a dirty mind. I love to laugh and make jokes some insulting. I feel silence = death. I am not afraid of a spot light. I make sounds when listening to music that feels like it was written for me. I wear cowboy boots while dancin to Justin Timberlake and Addis shelltoes while I grove to The Judds. I believe that I use to be a black woman in my past life. I love having conversations about life. I love peanut butter and nuts. I read between the lines. I love sushi. I have some large issues with trust. I get drunk fast. If I don't remember it...It didn't happen. I am a bit of everything really. I'm not sure where the road I am on is taking me however I just keep walking. All the faces, tears, smiles, pain, confusion, love, friends, strangers and simple moments are like pieces to a puzzle, they add up to the sum of who I am. I was raised to welcome all who came to your door because you never know what role they will play in your life. So I welcome you, come on in and stay for a while get to know me a bit and drop me line...

Believes in karma and treats others as such,Tells me he thinks I am beautiful to him, even when I am wearing glasses and an old shirt..... No altercations with the law and full set of teeth a plus!
