Matt A. says "You guys on MySpace, er...?" Posted at 3:20 AM Feb 9 view more
About me: Cynical, sarcastic...but I'm really nice deep down. No, seriously, I am... In spite of my unapproachable appearance and always-pissed-off demeanor, I'm actually quite a nice person. I have a dark sense of humor, which puts a lot of people off, but I'm too stubborn to change, nor do I care enough to. The friends I've got mean the world to me and I would absolutely die for them, but I don't worry about impressing or pleasing everybody else.
I'm also a self-proclaimed total geek, which I do not consider a negative stereotype in any way, shape, or form. I have a deep, obsessive love of music, movies, and video games. I'm a fairly avid reader as well. I'd rather stay in and chill out with the headphones on than go out and get drunk. Sounds boring, I know, but it's my life and I'm happy with it. I'll go out on occasion, but don't expect to see me drunk.
I like to think of myself as an aspiring writer, though I can never seem to finish any of the projects I start. Currently, I do keep a handful of blogs - one of which is just for freeform personal ramblings, while the other two are a bit more "professional" in nature. I also mix music whenever the mood hits me (usually one or two full-length mixsets a year - just for fun). Unfortunately, my childhood dreams of becoming a musician were undermined by my lack of musical ability, so mixing is how I can creatively express my affection for music.
If you would like to read some of my writing, feel free to stop by Media Junkie - which is my favorite of my three blogs.
What's up matt! Thanks for the love and support. We just wanted to remind you that our exclusive EP Let Go is coming out TUESDAY. Pre-order it now and we'll hook you up with a bonus gift
Drove by your place today, wow. I didn't have my phone with me or I would have called, sorry your concert was rained at, did you make it to see them downtown? I saw that the schedule was posted, read the band and knew that's who you were going to see. We'll have to catch up soon, I'm not in school. Later Matt.
wow, rebuilding that's cool, how far from the old place are ya? 5 months holy moly, no more wall paper border.
I cut my hours at work for school, I still need to pray more that I can keep going with it all.
I have a concert in May, but they changed the school schedule so I have to miss half of it, sucks because it's main floor and the tix were kinda expensive, and I'll be driving 2 hours by myself, then 4 hours back because John is driving earlier than me, we have to come up with some way to work it out. Thanks for the comment back, hope all is well : )
Right on Matt. thanks for coming down to the rock show. www.themuggs.com/merch if yer interested in cd's, vinyl, t-shirts and downloads. best , tonymuggs
I just happened to see... "Friendly reminder: You forgot to block me from your other Twitter account, remove me from your MySpace, and take your ball home with you." Once again Matt, the reason I was so distant with you to begin with is because apparently you think the world revolves around you. Everything I posted on twitter you thought was to you and quite frankly there was only 1 directed at you. A person I didn't really like was following and hounding me and I didn't appreciate it so I deleted that account to focus solely on my lighthearted account. But you never took the time to get to know me, to find that out because again, apparently the world revolves around you. You may be a cool guy but you have no clue how to talk to women. Even women just trying to be your friend. Good luck in life. I wish you the best. Maybe one day you will finally find someone on your level ;)
I got the Ring of Death last night, still angry and most likely will be for a long time. Microsoft is supposed to mail me a coffin for it to be sent back to them, we'll see what happens.
haha check this, a review from the Ev forum on the FVT (Family Values Tour) in FL:
"...then Atreyu was up... nothing there. I was just really awaiting Evanescence. Then it was time...EVANESCENCE WAS UP! OMFG during Atreyu there was like no one there watching but the minute Evanescence started everyone was at their seats standing up. So I was like that's so cool."
