Can I Take Your Order?

Yes, I admit it.  I have uttered those phrases before…actually on a number of different occasions, at a number of different eating establishments.  Why am I thinking about those five or six words this morning you ask?  Maybe it’s the fact that the unemployment rate is climbing to record highs…or the fact that the situations at both Jen and my...

Just To Be Clear…

While I didn’t think I would really ‘get’ anyone with yesterday’s post…I must say I’m surprised that I heard from quite a few people who “weren’t quite sure”.  This post is simply to clear things up, and make sure people are clear that I DO NOT have a tattoo of Joe Blow on my arm!    It was actually a really fun...

‘Matt Watch’ – DAY 1

So I realize the picture above might have come out more depressing than I intended…but I just blame that on the fact that Photoshop is hard to use.  (Really – it is!)  You see, what I was going for was more of a ‘lonely’ and ‘bored’ feel, but now that I see the picture I realize I achieved more of a...

So What’s Next?

So I didn’t really plan on posting anything today, but all day I constantly find myself drifting back to one subject:  Music.  You see, it all started when I stumbled on this article during my morning ‘web-coffee’.  It seems Apple has released a new version of it’s popular iPod shuffle (pictured above).  I know, I know…Apple releases a...

Stranded On An Island…With A Website?

I suppose it’s debatable whether or not it’s a ‘good thing’ that I’m on a computer for roughly 10+ hours a day…but what isn’t debatable is the unbelievable amount of websites that exist.  And there are thousands added every day.  With that fantastic amount of sites…comes a fantastic amount of junk. But…don’t...
