So randomly some guy stops me in the halls yesterday and starts talking about Rugby.
REALISTIC ME: Oh Matt, get out, get out now.
He kept going on about how I should play because I look like a rugby player blah blah blah next thing I know Im at the university pub at a rugby club meeting.
OPTIMISTIC ME: Hey, this wont be so bad, I can play a sport and get into shape.
REALISTIC ME: Matt, what are you doing? You will not fit in with these guys and you know it, you dont speak of hearty grogg or the laying of women.
OPTOMISTIC ME: Whatever, I'm sure they are not the big jock group stereotype.
RANDOM PRESIDENT GUY: Okay lets introduce ourselves by saying our name, where we are from and our favorite sexual position.
OPTOMISTIC ME: ... Monkey pulling the turnip
REALISTIC ME: HA, HA, HA HA HA
I just wish the sports could be taken without the alpha male mentality. |

Have you ever seen one of those America's funniest home videos where a kid is playfully torturing a cat and the the cat snaps, hurting or scratching or otherwise maiming the brat? Well I lived that the other night, of course theres a bit of a twist. Y'see I was babysitting a friend's kid and there I am with little 6 year old Hayden and he's swinging his cat Frankie back and forth by his legs. Normally I would be concerned but the cat isnt making noise or showing any signs of distress, so I wasn't too too worried, but to be safe I tell Hayden to put down the cat. Then Hayden gets a nice evil gleam in his eyes and takes a few small steps closer to me. Synapses fire and I realize what he plans to do, but before I could threaten him with a six foot deep grave in the back yard the cat is flying straight towards me... I was impressed though, the cat was like spiderman and I was like.. a wall. Except there were retractable claws involved instead of sticky fingers.
... maybe thats more like Wolverine? |

| 1st week of school MaDNesS |
[Sep. 10th, 2009|11:49 pm] |
Yeah so I don't normally post my going's on in life, neither written or electronically written, I mostly hang on to this account to keep tabs on friends and post "oooh golly gee that Matt" comments. This year however I think I'm gonna try to keep one going so long as I have interesting things happening.
So break down of my first week back at school
Kicked things off by going to a party at Shane lake, I had never gone there before by means of the trails behind the university but I fortunately had a random guy named Cody who was guiding the way for foreign exchange students show me where to go. As soon as I got there I met a bunch of Drama club people from last year and left right away. Gonna try to steer clear of Drama club this year, It really burned me out last time. However I have a feeling it will be difficult.
-Carpooling with duobat, gonna see how that works out, hopefully it will be cost effective.
- I am worried Intermediate Television studies is not gonna be quite what I wanted. Yes, Professor I am fairly aware of the conservative networks and the strings they pull what with product placement, censorship and the maximization of profit with minimization of financial risk blah blah blah can we talk about Firefly and the Whedonverse now? please?
- Biopsychology is gonna rock my socks, I am so psyched (haha pun). The prof is pretty cool, I might even get to do research with her this semester.
- Abnormal Psychology I can do a paper on the etiology of a sexual dysfunction or paraphilia. Ever heard of Inflatophilia? Interesting stuff. Disturbing, I mean you may never look at those blow up hammers you win at the fair the same way again, but definitely interesting.
- Health Psychology should be cool, the text can be pretty boring but the instructor has gotten a teaching groove on. I had her for personality last semester and she has grown and gotten more confident which is great to see.
- Had stats at CNC for the first time today, I am definitely worried about this class but the prof seems nice and open for any help we might need. Also the college has a really different feel to it then the uni, its almost... do I wanna say friendlier? The profs seem nicer, there's a lot more going on there to make you feel more comfortable at the school and it feels a lot less intimidating. This could easily change down the road though, who knows.
Also thinking of joining the crisis intervention hot-line, there was a booth at school, they train you and everything... costs 50 bucks though.
Went to the gym and did weights for the first time since like... grade 10 phys ed? Anyway its been three days and I can still barely move them so PROGRESS! Or muscle damage...
but yeah that's week one, oh and I like Glee, yeah I said it, I even downloaded their version of Don't Stop Believin' onto my Ipod. Of course you cant compare it to Journey, but its still a damn good cover. And I think the writing is pretty sharp, not like piercing blade sharp but surprise! ow oh crap paper cut sharp, like you're not expecting it.
"Racheal did you just throw up?"
"No"
"You missed the toilet"
"The girl who was throwing up before me left that. I tried but I guess I don't have a gag reflex."
"One day when you're older that will turn out to be a gift."

Yeah so I know there has been a lot, and I mean A LOT of hype surrounding The Dark Knight, what with its crazy viral marketing campaign, the amazingness of Ledger's Joker and his subsequent death, but I'm just here to tell you one thing...
IT LIVES UP TO IT AND ASCENDS
This is coming from a guy who knew some of the most shocking parts going into the movie and I was still amazed. I saw it last night and want to see it again TODAY, but everybody is busy.
The movie sucks you in and just does not let go. Every time the pace starts to settle for just a second, a major explosion or suspense filled event occurs. Ledger COMPLETELY steals the movie... every scene he's in you just cant stop looking at him; he's funny, hypnotic and you're both excited and afraid to see what he's going to do next. The relationship between him and the Batman is everything its supposed to be, Nolan is a superb director and co-writer. Like the Joker says in the movie, "I don't want to kill you (Batman), you complete me." Bale again does a great job of capturing the Bruce Wayne/Batman dynamic, my only complaint: not a big fan of the Batman voice. I am thinking of going to vancouver JUST to see it in IMAX because the scope and tone of the cinematography is so aw-inspiring on a regular screen that I cannot comprehend it one three times larger. Aaron Eckhart captures his role perfectly as Harvey Dent and his darker half Two-Face. He plays the character so that you will see him as a tragic victim, rather than a villain. |

So this was the first year that I did absolutely NOTHING for Halloween. No trick or treating, no taking my sister out, not even a scary movie to watch. It kinda saddens me, but I deal. It was also my Dad's birthday yesterday so we had some cake and we got tickets for the monster truck show in November. Its gonna be sweet.
The Library job is going well. I think. Its just so hard to read the co-workers. I can't tell if they like how I do something or not. Plus if I make a joke or say something funny I'm not sure if they find it offensive or dont mind it.
BAH STRESS!!! BAH I SAY!!!
Also I'm really considering moving out, I love my family but theres just too much stress with my Mom, its hard to take. Plus my car's heater is busted, so Its not much fun driving, thus making me stuck here much more often.
Also, I found a certain song list and photo collage a good friend made for me, one that was lost for awhile, its nice to read it and rem anise.

| Customer Service; |
[Oct. 7th, 2006|12:12 am] |
Hello and welcome to Matt's wild retail safari.
Today we're going to watch and learn about the angry, dangerous, and miserable types of customers out there... so strap in and get ready, cause its gonna get ugly.
First up is the "anger is my comfort zone" customer;
Typically seen gaining enjoyment out of other peoples pain and embarrassment, he is cut from the species "bittoruss jackasserous." Common physical characteristics can include a permanently disfigured brow, helping retain his angry persona, along with eye-tearing body odor, and usually accompanied by coffee stained teeth and breath.
Next, is the "Whole world is out get me" customer;
This breed, from the species "whynius bitchiattus" can come in a variety of forms and sizes, though usually the female gender is much more aggressive and noticeable. Usually they use a barrage of excuses and one liners in order to extort sympathy, and in turn get away without paying unsightly fees.
And finally, my favorite of all, the "I dont believe they were late so im going to personally accuse YOU of putting them on my account customer". Okay so that ones stretching it a bit, but I nearly cracked my head open getting a movie for her, (dont ask) and she has the balls (and by "her" appearance, I wouldnt be surprised if "she" actually did) to accuse me of charging her something that the computer does automatically.
To all my com-padre's in the customer service industry, my heart goes out to you. You are all brave, brave, under-glorified people. |

Have you ever felt that there is some kind of force out there that, no matter what good you do or how much fun you're having, something has to come along and kick you right in the pants? Well sit around the fire folks, and listen to my tale...
It was a particularly BEAUTIFUL sunday afternoon, so wonderfull that I spent the day at butterflyflight's cabin with jjthebrat. We went canoeing, swimming, had lunch and supper, and had some very interesting conversations. Think they heard me on the shore Ruth?
Here are some pics to prove our enjoyment:
So after all that, when I got home, I decided to visit my friend Brad, and it was about 3 am by the time I left there. Now as most of my friends know, my car is a bit of piece, and among its many failings is also a faulty gas meter, so what looked to me as a quarter of a tank was really... nothing of a tank.
Now imagine me broken down halfway up the big foothills hill.
No gas.
No cell.
No light.
And a whoooole lotta walking.
Ever walk up foothills with no light?
yeah...not fun. I get home, get a ride back down to my car, gas in hand. Fill it up. Start the engin.. oh crap... the motor wont start!
Stupid hazard lights drained the battery. I grab the jumper cables, charge it up and finally im on my way.
but im not gonna feel sorry for myself, because I had an awesome time with Ruth Jill and Darrell so shove it up your ass karma...
is it karma I want to blame... or is my car? Or myself?
hmm...
nah Ill stick with Karma |

So... I got a second job. I currently work at Pete's drywalling, I'm pretty sure I only got hired 'cause he's desperate for people, but oh well. I'm learning lots and it pays $12 an hour, which isn't too bad.
Plus its a trade, which is cool, so watch out ladies, the next time u see me, my mud-covered overalls mixed with my natural good looks may just swoon u to intoxication, or make you run for cover, either or. |

| Odd park situations |
[Apr. 24th, 2006|12:52 am] |
So this is my first post... and techinically it happened yesterday but oh well im new to this.
I was out the other day with my camera and I decided to get some photos in the park. Oh how swell it was, there were some kids playing baseball with their parents watching, and I figured it would be a good opportunity to get some action shots. Now I go to take some pictures of the kids batting, and suddenly this thought crosses through my mind:
me + dark hoodie + taking pictures of little kids with really big lens camera - parental acknowledgement or consent + my paranoia = possible pervert allegations.
so...
I asked if it was okay, they said yes, though I think one parent was suspicious of me. I suppose I can't completely blame them, but it was a good photo op.
Then I had a conversation with a mother who does photography as well, and we started talking about photoshop programs and different exhibits she was doing and then suddenly the conversation turned toward a girlfriend who did pornography, and how well that paid and how short the work hours were, but it was ALOT of money. What surprised me was that i wasnt shocked or anything, it was just... interesting.
yes...
well...
yeah I'll leave you to make your jokes now
oh and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JJTHEBRAT !!!! |
