About Me

My name is Matt, I am a Sophomore at EWU. I like restoring & working on cars. I own a 1967 Mustang, and my dad owns a 1965 Mustang Fastback (of which I work on both). I have a much greater appreciation for Sports, life and the things that I used to take for granted everyday. I deal with a neurological disorder called narcolepsy, I prefer to think that it keeps life interesting. I love sports, and I am always up play anything from ultimate frisbee, to basketball. I love my friends, I know that it is hard to find one good friend nowadays, and I am blessed to have those very few select people that I can call my best friends. I love life, God, and just about everything else there is. Although it is more often overlooked, I do take pride in being a good person, and I will help anyone no matter what their relationship is to me. I think a lot of people agree with me when I say that I am rarely angry or upset, life is too short to spend it anything but happy.I believe that life is to short to be spent angry or upset. It is too short to be spent searching for material things, because in the end, they will never make you happy. The things in life that make you happy are things that you can't place a price tag on.I am majoring in political science and minoring in business, and yes I know I am a nerd, thats a given in my book. The only channel I watch is the history channel (and comedy central on certain occasions). I enjoy reading works that pertain to Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, and other prominent figures. I love philosophy, it truly fascinates me. Some of my favorite philosophers include Neitzsche, Emmanuel Kant, Jean Paul Sartre, and William James.

When I stumbled a story with Tyra Banks picture next to it. Usually I would just move on because I find her to be somewhat of a Pinhead, but then I read the headline. Unprotected sex common among tee...

Staying True

I have always wondered what makes a book interesting. Is it the plot, an occasional picture, maybe even the serenity of silence that usually takes place? I would highly doubt it. I believe so many peo...

You Never Know When It Will Happen

I guess this will be short, sweet and to the point. If you died tomorro would you be satisfied with your life? Would people remember you for the things you would want to be remembered for, or would t...

San Diego

I went to San Diego from the 26th until the 28th. I went to the 22nd annual Narcolepsy Network Convention. I was pretty skeptical at first about the entire thing... Really, the more I though about it,...
