Just a quick plug for the most amazing internet browser ever: Firefox! I cannot say enough good things about it. If you’re still using sucky internet explorer, shame on you! Shame! Get it already. It’s faster, prettier and just silky smooth. Go! Go now! → Read more...
So has anyone ever gone through the experience of writing someone an email and then after several days go by, realize they haven’t written back, especially if it’s a person you’ve fallen out of touch with and want to rekindle something? Makes you wonder even more about that person, no? It’s amazing how easy it is to form connections sometimes and how easy it is to lose those sometimes. → Read more...
Alright, so Mary wants to know what’s in my head? Ok, you asked for it. I’ve spent the past hour reading through different people’s Xanga’s sites. (It really is a great way to spend a blah, lazy Sunday afternoon–highly recommended.) A variation of this list kept popping up, so I figured I’d give it a spin. (This one came from Renee’s site) It’s a good way for those of you who don’t know me that well to get to know me a little bit better. → Read more...
But now, O Israel, the LORD who created you says: “Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. → Read more...
Ok, so I’m a bit crabby and tired and I have a headache and work sucks monkey balls and stress and… and… you get the idea. So I don’t feel like typing much tonight so let’s just get the posting of the old LiveJournal blogs out of the way so I can be more original. After this post, it’s going to be all new Matt all the time. Whether that’s a good thing depends on your point of view I guess. → Read more...
Okay, someone who skimmed my recent Xanga blogs said, “Long!” Yep. For those of you who don’t want to read the whole thing to get the point, let me once again explain what I’m doing. I’m re-posting my old blog entries from LiveJournal here now that I’ve started a Xanga blog. When I’m done, then the real fun will begin and I’ll start blogging f’real. I’ve done May through August already, so let’s finish up the year, no? → Read more...
In re-reading these LJ postings, it’s amazing how you can summarize an entire year’s worth of experiences in just a few entries. I really think everyone should start doing more blogging or journaling because then they’ll be able to look in the past and see how the experiences they had shaped them into the person they currently are. I think Socrates put it perfectly when he wrote, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” If we continually analyze and examine ourselves, we can watch ourselves grow and ask the right questions, making sure we’re on the right path towards redemption. → Read more...
So, I think I’m in the process of moving over here from my LiveJournal blog. There’s a lot of things I like about LJ that Xanga doesn’t have (i.e., backdating, optional headline for the blogs–I’m very big on random headlines, etc…) but I think Xanga’s just more fun, cozy, and looks cooler, I guess. It really does feel like being with friends. So, I’ll be posting my old blogs in chronological order. I’m hoping I’ll be able to come back to this and backdate these entries to its proper time if Xanga offers it. → Read more...
This is my feeble attempt in getting back in the swing of writing. I’ll hopefully be able to write more. → Read more...

Xanga-Matt

Ok, so I’m officially an advertising whore (if anyone wants to assign blame, blame Sara for my descent into ad prostitution). Solving this jigsaw puzzle and posting about this sweepstakes for Big Red makes me eligible for free Xanga Premium for life… Isn’t that something we all want? Isn’t it? → Read more...
