I am here for Networking

About Me

Yes, it's pronounced Didd-Ee-Ay.
...and a quick message to a friend... You're going to need to consider this in life... Do you want your name on a library or on the front page of the National Enquirer? One will be practically eternal and be remembered by thousands, the other will be pooped on by a budgie or parakeet within 72 hours as a rule.
...moving right along...
Not so much an "About Me" as much as it's about us.
First of all, let me pimp our blog... DoubleDeckerBuses.org/blog/ C'mon, visit if you have a chance... all the COOL kids are!
I apologise in advance for all the "ad posts"... blame my wife, Sue.
That all said, we're a small family of three who are trying to rescue/own an old double-decker bus in California... well, the bus is in California... we're in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Now, this "About Me" used to ramble and go on and on and on... and still does, to a degree... so I'm NOW going to spare you! If you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to know about our whacky dream and what it's about, click here (opens a new browser) and it'll tell you all about it.
OKAY, that said now, YES, we are the same Sue and Matthew who are part of The Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society , PSICAN , ParaResearchers , and the ever popular Paranormal Blog .
So yes, we're woo-woos. Just ask the so-called sceptics!
That said, I strongly recommend that if you want to discuss, talk, or otherwise do the "ghostie-thang" or the like, please hit one of the links to the ghostly sites above... this MySpace is really for the bus whackiness...
If you're REALLY bored (and hey, you're online so what else can you be?) you can have a "boo" at the newest blogs Sue has set up... Life in the Urban Zoo and Pastyme with Good Companye ... the latter one I'm going to be regularly contributing to! Heck, my write up on the Avro Arrow has garnered rave review. (Yes, I meant to leave off the "s" on "review".)
Special Bulletin... I have been dissed by Bob Saget ... and I is sad. A loser is me. He added me as a "friend" here, then TORE me down, removed my comment, and genuinely broke my heart... and I didn't even say any naughty words or mentioned my unnatural obsession with terrycloth boxer-shorts. I am undone! The cad!

My Interests

This MySpace page is about a dream... a dream that we hope will come true... a dream that kept a family together through some tough times. Now, I could TRY to whip it all out in this wee space, but it's way too much... so if you're interested, please click here to read ALL about it... I promise it's not TOO boring.

Oh, and yes... since it was questioned, we are the same Matthew and Sue who are the paranormal people from Toronto... Our sites are The Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society which has been around since 1997 and the other is ParaResearchers ... and we also look after several others including PSICAN ...

...and no, we don't have proton energy packs and we don't drive around in an ambulance OR hearse.

I'd like to meet:

We'd love to meet anyone who will help us get the word out about our kooky dream ... and those who can help us make the dream into reality! Well, that and we're marks for whacky wrestling.

Oh, and anyone who venerates Lionel Jeffries is great too!

Quote: "It's not pinin'. it's passed on. This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to see it's maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies. It's run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This... is an ex-parrot." - Amen.
