You are full of nothing

About Me

My name is Matt. I live in Athens, GA. I'm not all that lame. I'll do whatever if it is interesting. Anything to escape monotony. Right now I am slowly destroying my sense of hearing and enjoying every minute of it. I work at UGA in what I think is an experiment to discover the limits of the human attention span. My attention is somewhat difficult to earn. I mean well though. I write short sentences. Kind of like Ernest Hemingway. He will always be there for me. But now Ernest Hemingway is dead.

My Interests

Confusion, noise, colors, music, red wine, soccer, stars, being ignored, ignoring others, guitars, effects pedals, volume, seinfeld, antiques, cooking, dark beer, sunglasses, birds, going to shows, daydreaming, contradicting myself, road trips, golf, being nice, feeling guilty, existentialism, jackets, britian, other stuff..

I'd like to meet:

Mr. Rogers was really obsessed with plastic cups today. He sat at a table talking to himself while building towers out of them, knocking them over, and doing it again. Next he placed a pebble under on...

The Crocodile Hunter is dead

Maserati Rocks

Went to see Maserati last night, and it fucking rocked.  Very powerful stuff, and I would kill for Jerry Fuchs's moustache, by far the best I've seen, however the girls I asked about it said they...

Addendum to Radical Dude Sighting
