| Hey all. The last 48-72 hours have been some of the worst of my life. You can un-subscribe now, cause this will be my last entry. I'll go out with something I don't do very often. A list.
Matthew's Better Decision In Life:
Listening to my parents, being very selective when it came to my friends, Being Home Schooled, Keeping my Dad at a safe distance until now, Kart racing, Learning to play guitar, Learning to Play Bass, Writing Poetry, Dating Andrea, Learning to be true to myself, liking myself for who I am, Keeping close with my mom, getting a job at sonic, quitting sonic, moving to Iowa, getting a job at nordstroms, buying my car, understanding my purpose in life, having somewhat of a relationship with God, reading the Bible, praying, street racing, and a bunch more that seem irrelevent now.
Matthew's Bad decisions in life:
Listening to my parents, Keeping my dad at a safe distance until now, Trying to lie to myslef, trying to be someone I'm not, getting a job at sonic, staying in Texas for 18 years, not understanding my purpose in life, street racing, pressuring Andrea, holding so many people at a safe distance, hanging out with ANYONE from Red Oak, meeting Kevin, not thinking before i speak, never going to church, not praying more often, and a bunch more that this website isn't large enough to contain.
I'm sorry to the couple of people that read my posts normally. This is not how it was supposed to end . Good-bye all. | | |
| - All of them Hey all,
Someone got into my xanga in the last couple of days, and left a comment using my own xanga name. I changed my password, but if he got in once, he'll get in again. But to answer your question; Right now, I don't have the equipment to do that. Back when I was "gun ho" on doing that, I thought I was going to have the cash to get the equipment, but my own place is much more important. Not only that, but I'm 19 and I don't know what I'm going to do with my life yet. If I ever joined a band just to make it my profession, then it would be a lost cause. I still play guitar everyday, but now I play for myself, not to make it big. Maybe at one time I played just for that reason, but things have changed allot since then. I hope that answers your question. Now maybe you can get a life of your own instead of messing in mine...
Watch out for people like this everyone. Changing your password every once in a while is a good idea.
Later all. | | |
| - #2- Ghost Yo all,
First off I'd like brag on a band I've liked for a while now. Skid Row. What's so exceptional about this band is they've been around for almost 17 years now. They caught the last edge of the 80's hair-band rock, and they've made the transition to a fairly modern band with some serious skills. I just picked up their latest album, which came out about 2 years ago. I was VERY impressed. Just thought everyone should know.
It was a crappy end of the week/weekend for me. I found out on Thursday that I didn't get the job I was going for. Over 12 people applied for the two spots that were open, and I was told I was in the top 4. Still kind of dissapointing, even though I'm not un-happy where I'm at now.
To top that off, Cedar Rapids lost to Rival Waterloo Saturday night, 0-1. It was an exciting game despite the low score, but it still sucks we lost. We are still first place in the U.S.H.L. but if we don't pick it up here before long, we will lose that spot to Omaha. Good crowd though. Almost 4,000 people showed up.
One good thing thought, is I found out that I will be working in a different department next week, whcih means I'll have better hours, and that means I'll be able to skate every day this week... Sometimes twice. Well that's all for me people. Listen to some good music now. Crank it up!!!

| - Only 4 more days! Cedar Rapids- 8
Des Moines - 4
We're 30-5-4 after this win tonight. Big game on Saturday versus Waterloo though. | | |
| Hey all, wow it's been less than a month since I posted last, I'll be damned. Yeah, so I am soooo ready to get the hell out of where I'm living right now. I appreciate my sister giving me a place to stay and all, even though I do pay rent, but I want out BADLY. At first it wasn't so bad, because we worked different shifts and we really didn't see each other that much, Plus we were home at different times. But now, we work the same shift... and most of the time we share a ride to work, and with Tony not working right now, there's ALWAYS someone home. Maybe it's just me being twisted, but I like coming home to nothing. I like doing things by myself. And even though I live in the basement, and they live upstairs, the floorboards are so thin we can hear when each other walk. It's really frustrating, when you move 1,000 miles to get away from everything but you still have people breathing down your neck anyway. It's nothing my sister has done wrong or anything, it's just one of those things that sucks after a while.
Still I push on, with the one big fact in mind that in two months I'll have my own house, with NOONE living in it besides me and a cat. And maybe not long after that, a dog. Either way, no humans. Anyone reading this must be like, "damn he's anti-social." But that's not it, I like going out and doing things with people, but at this point in my life, I just want to LIVE alone.
Drove my car today for the first time in about two or three weeks. Not driving my car has been killing me, but it has made me really respect how nice of a car it is for someone my age. Not many people my age can afford something like that, so I'm really lucky.
Work is good. I just put in for a new spot back in packing. It's much more responsibility, and it's more work. Hopefully taking this on will make the superiors see that I can do that kind of thing. On the plus side I'll get my own office if I do get it. I should know by Tuesday or Wednesday.
Wow, this was like the longest post I've ever had, or at least the longest one in a long time. Catch you later.
