I don't want the world, I only want your half.

About Me

Hi. My name is Matt. I live in Salisbury. I like music. I might like you, but I haven't made up my mind yet.
I graduated in '05 with a bachelor's in Computer Nerdery and after a year of programming mindlessly for The Man in a 8'x8' box 8 hours a day I decided that if I continued on this course I would probably go insane and blow up the building. Thinking first of the safety of my coworkers, I resigned. That was in Pennsylvania. Now I'm in Salisbury again where I grew up. People often joke(d) about how there's nothing to do in "Smallsbury" but I actually missed it. I'm now working for/with my dad at Morgan Stanley and am studying my bum off for a series of 4 exams I need to pass in order to keep this new sweet gig. It's interesting how motivated you are to study when they're paying you to do it and you know you'll actually be using and applying all the information you're learning. Well... most of it, anyway. :-P
In my spare time I moonlight as a local rockstar wannabe and am currently helping my friend Chris run the open mic night at Flavors Italian Grille downtown on Main Street on Tuesdays from 9-close so come check it out (and play something!!!) if you're free.
If you want to know anything else (including, but not limited to, my shoe size, my favorite color, and why I can't sit still to save my life) just ask.

My Interests

God, music (listening to and playing), chillin' with family and/or friends, watching way too many movies, warm sunny days, cats (seriously they rule), the beach, randomly breaking into song, writing, running, lifting, tapping on tables and various other inanimate objects, et cetera

I'd like to meet:

Your mom.

Music:

I like a lot of different kinds of music, but right now the consensus seems to be that I'm obsessed with 90s alt rock. I like classic rock too, as they just don't make 'em like they used to.

Movies:

There are waaaay too many to list. I'm a filmophile and if I can't be entertained by a movie it must really REALLY suck.

Television:

The only TV I watch is usually on DVDs because I don't like to schedule my life around a box (with the exception of LOST). Things like Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, Lost, Firefly, Arrested Development, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Futurama, The Office, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Simpsons, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Mystery Science Theatre 3000, Seinfeld (of course), and the occasional South Park

Books:

1632, 1633, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, I Am America! (And You Can Too), Calvin and Hobbes collections

Heroes:

My parents rule, and they're always right. I finally came around to figuring that out many times the hard way. :-P

My Blog

It’s A Wonderful World

So it's been a while since I've posted anything I guess, but that's the way it goes with me. I have cycles of interest and this, like many things, falls by the wayside after a while but have no fear.....

All the world’s a stage...

...and sometimes on that stage there are smaller stages upon which players play parts in front of live audiences so that player-haters can throw various and sundry vegetables at them for entertainment...

FINALLY!

Victory is mine! Huzzah! So as many of you know, I've been trying to get a band together for a musical outlet for quite some time. Well just this past week I was finally able to form one! We had our f...

Tanto! Jump on it!

So my two dear friends Ben and Linnea are getting married in a little over a month when I asked what sort of muzak they'll have at the reception I was told I could bring a CD that had whatever songs I...

What the hell is a Zwinky?

Seriously, what gives? What is a Zwinky and why am I bombarded constantly to get a free one so I can dress it up any way I want? Is this some sort of e-Barbie or something? They're certainly as dispro...

Attack of the Nipplefeet!

Sounds like a bad horror movie doesn't it? In fact, I've noticed recently that most all "horror" movies are pretty bad. Not that horror movies are inherently evil, but that the acting, directing, stor...

To Rent or Not To Rent?

That is the question that's been on my mind as of late. As some of you know, I moved back to my home town of Salisbury this past summer when my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He had surgery a...

Free at Last

Have any of y'all ever been addicted to something? I'm not talking about drugs, necessarily, just anything that you do way too much to a point where it sort of consumes your life. For me, as silly as ...
