I am here for Friends

About Me

my name is matt. i used to play in a band called Sock Puppet Mafia... you may have heard of us, but probably not. i enjoy good music, video games, long walks on the beach, the color blue, amusing myself at the expense of those around me, chinese(both the food and the people), sleeping, and makin' love under a veitnam sky. i've been described as nice, awesome, funny, the coolest, and burrito. i'm good with kids, great at parties, and go excellent with a little white wine.

My Interests

playing music, writing music, recording music, listening to music, discussing music, hearing music in my head, pretending my taste in music is better than your taste in music... pretty much all music related activities. discussing religion, theology, and politics. smoking cigarettes, watching the occasional sporting event, sitting around doing absolutly nothing, good company, reading, writing, drawing, staying up late, dungeons and dragons, inside jokes, pirating music, playing violent video games, playing non-violent video games, being an elitist, driving around on a nice day with absolutly nowhere to be, "the quote book", watching cartoons, the occasional beer, hot girls that will make out with me, procrastinating, ninjas, spending more money than i can afford(and usually on shit i don't need), red vs. blue, being a cd whore, laughing at you, but also laughing with you

I'd like to meet:

bob marley... and beyond that:guys that wear guy pants, girls that are down for make-outs, people that are cool, have a sense of humor, decent taste in music, don't take themselves too seriously, harbor an extreme distaste for high school drama bullshit, and can fully appriciate the artistic genius and poetic expression of a kevin smith film... i guess i could meet other people too, but i probably won't like you as much... its not you though, it's me... no, no, actually it's you... sorry
