Someday you're gonna wish you'd taken better care of me

About Me

I've been told I'm a lot like Zach Braff on Scrubs. I’m sensitive for a dude, I’m pretty hilarious ;) usually in a dorky way, and I’m usually daydreaming about something more entertaining.
Sometimes when I come home drunk I’ll write myself a note with the night’s profound drunk statements and observations. They always start off with “Dear Matt, this is you FROM THE FUTURE”… I’ve never gotten so drunk that I forgot writing the note, thereby tricking myself into thinking I sent myself a message from the future.... but if I ever do, it will be AWESOME.
I have a strange need to know how to spell words I hear, even if I make those words up. I've been told several times that I'm "mature for my age" which may seem incorrect at a glance but from in the important categories I swear it's true.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never heard a song involving harmonica that I didn’t like. I drive a 2006 Honda Civic (reppin' ultra low emissions like all damn day). My mind is often in the gutter, but it always makes for laughs and therefore good times. Dusk is my favorite time of the day, unless I'm still at work when it happens. I try to love all God's living creatures (but the humans are the ones that make that a tough goal). When I eat Twix I turn them upside down so I don’t get caramel stuck in my front teeth. It makes me sad when the music stops. I know a little about everything, and a lot about some stuff you probably don't care about. I have the ability to make the most ludicrous things sound poetic...
Just be thankful I use my powers for good.
PS I’m so excited...
