Soylent Ape

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Welcome to the official MySpace page of Matt M., successful musician, photographer, writer and journalist--but not so successful that he can quit his day job. From his home base, Casa de White Trash, in the mean suburbs of Winston-Salem, NC, Matt oversees his media empire ...and then goes to his soul-destroying 9-to-whenever job and punches clock for The Man. When he's not occupied with such things, he's enjoying time with family and friends, finding new experiences and wondering what kind of voyeur would be interested in reading about his life.
"We are not going to be able to do anything forever, but we can do everything right now!" -Andrew W.K.
Soylent Ape loves his B. C. Rich Guitars and Basses (but not in that kind of way, Sicko).
Soylent Ape has a fever and the only cure is more Crate Guitar and Bass Amplifiers!

Help fight Animal Cruelty and Neglect: Support the ASPCA (...or Sarah McLachlan will personally come to your home and assault you.)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people, fun people, fun and interesting people, musicians, writers, artists, filmmakers and other creative types, big people, small people, male people, female people, dumb people, smart people, good people ...and Tie Domi (Go 'Leafs!)

Welcome to the Neighborhood!

Though I'm in my third decade on this earth, I basically live the same way that I did in college.  I don't say this as a point of pride--more like a resignation to the fact that my home is pretty...
