Matt! Hey, funniest thing. I've been watching A&E the last few days and there's this commercial that's playing almost non-stop on there. I thought to myself, the intro-guy in the ad ("I want to do karate") looked familiar enough to bug me... it took me a minute, then I thought "nah..." Then I revisited your profile for the hell of it, and it really is you! Congrats to you, bud! -- from a fellow EZN fan.
