"Never Say Die"

About Me

What a pain in the ass, about time I filled this out. About me...well, hmmm.. I think Im getting the urge to waste thousands of dollars and go racing again.. Ohh boy. One part of me says "dont do it Matt!" but the other parts says Fuck That, flooring that V8 wide open is just too much damn fun. I want to include a huge Thank You to all my friends that have helped me get to the point Im at right now in life and in racing, you guys all know who you are and the lately I've realized we have ALOT of just crazy retarded High Desert and Mexico racing adventure stories, let the good times roll until you cant party any longer. I am always learning something new, and try to stay very open minded. I always look at the bright side no matter how shitty the situation is getting. You owe it to yourself to put your best foot forward every morning, tackle the day as best as you can and pat yourself on the back when you go to sleep that you got it handled and your more ready for what tommorrow may bring. Eventually you will be Living your Dreams before you know it without even really trying. I want to travel the world... I want to have the time of my life on a tropical island beach with white sand and clear water under a coconut tree with a beatiful girl in a swinging hammock... with my Pirate Ship docked in the bay. that is relaxing right there, I tell you what. Anything else? Just hit me up and ask, heeeeeyoooo! Game On Wayne!

Music:

"To surrender now and throw it all away, its a sacrafice that you won't repay, In a world that I dont owe you shit, you gotta think for yourself and fight for everything, and that piece of mind that keeps you going on, gets you out of bed and out that door, I take a look around and you'll find theres something more. This is my song to a friend that never needed anyone until now. -Strung Out
