2006-09-03T08:54:00.000-05:00

100 posts, wow I never thought i would have posted 100 times to this little endevor of mine. Granted I haven't really talked about anything to0 earth shattering on here just basically my daily doings and complaints. Hopefully i will start posting on a more regular basis again especially since I will be going to school again I am sure i will have plenty of crazy stories to share. Plus with the main event of my buddies wedding or as the wedding party is calling it his "funeral" in two weeks I guarentee I'll have pleny of things to talk about. Well hope you all enjoyed this 100th post and have a great Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Day for fishing perhaps

2006-08-29T09:36:00.000-05:00

Well this is my last week of vacation since i start college again the day after labor day. Boy where has the summer gone. It's been raining here for like a week straight it seems and today finally seems to be decent so I think I might go out and do some fishing. I'm getting a new vehicle in a few weeks so i'm very glad about that. Man I can't believe I'm finally going back to college. It's been like forever I am a little nervous but also very excited. I have a new roomate now so I think my study enviroment will be much better than before as well.

The Party

2006-08-27T20:30:00.000-05:00

Last night was a blast. My Buddy Justin is getting married in about 3 weeks and last night was his bachlor party. It was sweet. We did a little gambling, a little drinking, a little looking at beautiful naked women that we gave plenty $1 dollar bills to. We got a bus for several hrs so that was sweet as well it was like i back in grade school again. Or the tom Hanks movie Bachlor Party.

Felt like writing finally

2006-06-23T20:56:00.000-05:00

Hi all, I know it's been a long while and many have probably thought i gave up on this blog and was never gonna return but the fact is i am too lazy to type thats why i hate emails it takes to long to type it all out. Maybe I will start doing audio blog posts some day soon. Finally got a job again ill be working at the YMCA part time lookin forward to that as well much need money comin in. Getting sort of ready for school in the fall at least one class. I'm gonna be having a new roommate movin in with me a few weeks should be interesting definetly a period of adjustment but also very exciting. Been doin a fair amount of fishing catchin a few here and there but nothin huge.

3 Lakes and all with the same result

2006-05-17T06:43:00.000-05:00

Well as usual went fishing again, and as usual I did catch a darn thing. You would think for as much as i tend to go fishing in the summer I'd be a pro at it by now but I'm not. Besides fishing I was able to straighten out my medical insurance billing issues rather easily so i was glad about that. Also sent out another 8 or ten resumes yesterday. So hopefully I'll be getting called for some interviews in the next few days or next week for sure. Today I think I'll see what moms doing maybe we'll go do something today its suppose to be kinda nice. Well have a great Day!!

No Luck Today

2006-05-15T16:43:00.000-05:00

I went out fishing this morning, but only for about a half an hour or so because It looked like another big rainstorm was on its way and I didn't feel like getting wet today. Applied to some more jobs this morning. I'm hoping I get at least two or three interviews this week. It's been a while since I've had any. Hopefully something comes my way in the near future. Tomorrow got some phone calls to make about billing issues I hate those type of calls. Takes for ever cause they always put you on hold. I volunteered my services to justin on making some CD's for his wedding of his wedding song. My fantasy baseball team is on the rise again after really taking it on the chin earlier last week. Man I'm on hold with Medicare right now and I have them on speaker phone and the music is getting really annoying. I haven't done a poll on here for like forever so I think some time this week I'll put a new one up. Well go to go. Have a great day!!

Mr. Matt is in Love!!!

2006-05-15T07:19:00.000-05:00

Don't worry ladies,this bachelor is still available I am not in love with a woman. I am in love with a TV. That's right a TV my parents bought a new TV this weekend man this thing is so Sweet. Makes me wish I was still livin at home these days but than I probably never get a job or go to school.

Just another rainy day

2006-05-12T16:00:00.000-05:00

Well another rainy day today, So another day I didn't get to go fishing in fact I haven't even left the apartment now for two days. Which is okay I do have plenty to do video games,movies, nap, look for a job, organize my apartment. As some of you out there in blogger world may know I actually am a small home based business I am an independent sales associate for Pre-paid legal services. Well to make a long story short one of my fellow business associates that I help bring into the business is driving me nuts. She is doing real well which is good for the both of us money wise but she is so into it she's calling me everyday or writing me emails about things and I'm glad she's excited but I just am not that into it I guess. The reason I'm bringing this up is we have a big meeting tomorrow which is called a "Super Saturday" and she's trying to get me to go and I don't want to. Plus she knows that I'm gonna go up and visit justin for a few days in a couple of weeks and since she lives in that area as well she felt she needed to setup a few sit downs for me and her to go on together cause she saids I know the product and services better then she does but in all honesty it's the other way around. Although money is something I really need so maybe I should start taking it serious and get working on the business again.

What the fuck is going on lately

2006-05-11T19:36:00.000-05:00

I am the first to admit that i am not a american Idol junkie or anthing because i think the show is stupid on so many levels it's not even funny. However, i have been following it for the past few weeks and i thought for sure chris was gonna take it all but he was voted off it just doesn't make sense to me you know what else doesn't make god damn sense to me is msn Hotmail. I've been using hotmail as one of my many email account for many years never ever had a problem with it until a few days ago when the idiots at msn decided to make it better and more user friend more user friendly my ass. I have a hard time now reading my actual email because part of it is in one panel on the screen and the rest of it is in another. Also i absolutely hate that new fad of creating a myspace page for networking and meeting people it is way to complicated for me so i'm sticking to blogger here.
No fishing for me today or for the next few days actually raining like a mother all day today and looks to be like that for the next several days. I think i may actually finally have my school stuff in order for next semester so i can actually go in september and finally finish what seems like i started twenty decades ago. Even though i still have a way to go before i do graduate at least i headed down that path again. Tommrrow if it's half way decent i may go and look for something nice but rather inexpensive for my mom for mothers day even though i probably should even try since she's workin sunday and I think i'm goona go to the ball game. This is the last time i get a season ticket package like this again it's too much of a time commitment i rather go when i want to when i can instead being force to go certian days.

No Fish Today

2006-05-10T20:32:00.000-05:00

Went Fishing today in the late afternoon after doing a few other erands. It was nice at the lake tonight but it would have been better had a fish bit a few times. I am sort of planning on going and visting Justin for a few days up north in a week or two. Excited about it because I haven't see his place yet. Actually I feel kinda bad because I never got to see his very first apartment. And we all know how exciting your first place away from mom and dad is. My fantasy baseball team has been takin it on the chin the past few days including today. Currently I'm in last place in my league at least its a long season.

Did I or Didn't I

2006-05-09T06:27:00.000-05:00

Well last night after my poker expierence and checking blogs and emails I finally decided to go to bed get all tucked in bed and i'm watching sportscenter like usual when I begin to question myself and ask myself if i remebered to close my car windows and lock up this afternoon. There is suppose to be lots of rain here the next couple days. So i had to get up get partially redressed all to go outside to find out that I did lock and roll up the windows earlier in the day. Man that suck cause than i had a hard time falling back asleep.

Things I plan on doing today:
No fishing (Gonna Rain)
Look and apply for more jobs
Continue to work on a website i'm building for a friend
Call school about a few questions
Send out a bill or 2
Take a nap
Watch the Ny Vs. Boston game tonight

Poker Just isn't my game

2006-05-08T22:46:00.000-05:00

Well I just got done playing poker online for the last 2 hrs. And I lost all my play chips. No way in hell I'd ever play for real money online. With my friends who I also know suck maybe but not for very much. I know the concept of the game but it seems just when I think I have an unbeatable hand someone has a better one. So i guess I better find a different way to get on espn because it won't be because i'm on the world series of poker.

Posting again

2006-05-08T06:24:00.000-05:00

Alright, I think i'm finally ready to start posting on a regular basis again. I wish I could say that my lack of posting was do to the fact that i had a job and was working now but that isn't the case currently still unemployed but plan on hitting the ground running this week in search for employment. Had a real nice weekend caught a 13 inch walleye on saturday which was opening day for fishing season 2006. I love to fish so you all will hear a lot about my fishing adventures throughout the summer. Now I just need to talk dad into getting that boat I saw over the weekend so I can do some real hard core fishing. Since it's hard to catch anything decent from the shore. Went to go see the new family comedy RV staring Robin Williams it was awsome a must see in my book. Well i hope everyone had a good weekend and has a good start of a new week. HAVE A NICE DAY!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still alive Barely!!

2006-04-22T10:32:00.000-05:00

Helllo bloggers I'm back, at least i'm back for today. I know it's been a long time since I have posted and that's for many reasons some of those reasons being that i have been lazy and not feeling liking writing plus not to much to report anyways. Plus the other big reason I haven't posted is I hurt myself somehow about 2 weeks ago and pull my back and groin region. So i've been to much pain to type. I starting to feel beter but still may have to go see the doctor agian monday since i'm still not 100%. That job i had been talking about never came to be a reality which i'm disappointed about but probably for the best right now since i haven't been in any condition to do much of anything lately. Once I get these health issuses under control i will start again looking for a job. Well i'm start to get some pain again so its time for me to ice again. I'll post again later.

Openng Day at Miller park 2006

Happy Birthday Grandma

2006-03-28T06:31:00.000-06:00

I would like to wish my Grandma, a wonderful happy 80th Birthday Today. I love my grandma a whole lot. My grandma lives with my parents so when I was living back act home I was also living with her so I'm very close to her. When I was little she use to take me all over the place in her car to different stores and restaurants and show me different things in Wisconsin. Now that I'm older now and can drive myself I'm now the one who gets to take her places which to me is very cool. So Grandma have a good one today love you bunches and have a safe and fun trip with my Aunt Jackie and I'll see you when you get back on Saturday.

This kid loves his Mcdonald's

Pancakes and a Pup named scobby Doo

2006-03-22T06:16:00.000-06:00

Hi all, it's been a few days since my last post I didn't feel like typing. Yesterday was a great day, my mom came up by my apartment which she rarely does cause I'm always willing to go over to the house. Well anyways she came over and we checked out some of the little shops over in the little strip mall I live near. It was actually kinda fun because I've lived over here for about 4 yrs now and I've never been in some of these shops before. We went into a little pet store over there and I absolutely fell in love with this little puppy my mom even liked the little guy but than she became a parent again and said that I couldn't get it cause I had neither the money or the space to have a pet such as a dog right now. Which I agree but I tell you this had I had the money and the space Mr. Matt would have gotten a dog. Some day hopefully I can get a dog again I aways enjoyed having a dog when I was little. Also went to a pancake breakfast dinner at a local church with the family last night. It was very good. Still no word on the job I've started looking elsewhere but am still hopefully about this job I just wish they would make a decision one way or the other soon.

Saturday

2006-03-18T18:26:00.000-06:00

What a clever title to this post hey. Finally kinda got some information on that job I've been waiting on what seems to be years now. They are actually still making a decision they have actually decided to make this a full time position and they may actually may hire two people as well because I guess the company is growing at a rapid speed. So I guess it's a good thing I just hope they make a decision soon. I need a job so I can keep the van, pay off the rest of my school loans. I am also hoping if things work out job wise that maybe by late summer early fall I can seriously think about moving out on my own again to a different apartment. I like my roommate and all but these apartments aren't the greatest and I kinda feel like I just want to be on my own again. But that's down the road I first got to get financially set before I do anything like that. The nice thing about having a roommate is that expenses are split in half. Another thing I would like to start doing is dating nothing to serious just going out maybe like once a week or something. I have a lot of male friends and very few female ones. It would be nice to get a female perspective on issues and ideas sometimes. It is true females often have different ways at looking at ideas and situations. I find it very interesting how females tend to express their feeling a lot more and more effectively than men. Ok enough of that for tonight. Well I hope everyone had a fun and safe st. Patricks day yesterday.

Gosh Darn it

2006-03-16T16:33:00.000-06:00

My NCAA Bracket pool just is going down the toilet. I suffered a huge loss in early game action today when Olkahoma got beat by Uw-Milwaukee. I had Olkahoma going to the final four Damn it all. Congrats to UWM though I am technically a student there even though I yet to attend any classes there yet. Hopefully I may take one class in the summer session and than go back at least part time in the fall but I need to get some other things set first.

Happy Tuesday

2006-03-14T12:07:00.000-06:00

Hello all, I've taken a few days off from posting because I actually had very little worth posting. Actually I still have very little worth posting but felt I should before I get a call for Justin tonight asking me why I haven't been posting. My roommates girlfriend has been here visiting the last few days so it been a little extra crowed and crazy over here at the apartment lately but it's cool because she's very nice and she likes to cook so I've been eating good lately as well. I called about the job yesterday but all I got was her voicemail. So I will try calling again later this afternoon. Well that's it for now I'll probably post later on tonight.

24 Tv Marathon this Weekend

2006-03-11T08:20:00.000-06:00

My new favorite tv show these days is 24 and I guess this weekend on channel WGN they are showing the whole complete first season. Which I'm jacked up about because I never saw too many of the earlier show I just started watching the show in full force this season. I have been renting some of the dvds of previous seasons on occasion to catch up. Jack Bauer is the Man!!! I want to be a government agent when I grow up!!!

Happy Birthday NiKi

Becoming a true blogger freak

2006-03-09T10:12:00.000-06:00

Ok it's finally happen, I have been sucked into blogger world. My day is no longer without me checking the few blogs i read on a daily basis and then checking my blog if anyones left me any comments. Then if i have any motivation I write a post. I guess it helps break up the boredom of the day since you can only look for jobs for so long and there is complete utter crap on tv during the day. I really need to find a job soon because I have been spending way to much time with my parents these days and the really sad part is I really enjoy it it makes me feel like i actually did something even though all i do is sit over there and watch tv which is the same thing i do here except when i'm there at least i can say i got out. I think dad is getting sick of seeing my van in the driveway everytime he comes home from work. The funniest part is after I'm done writting this I'm gonna go over there for a while and use dads computer to play a computer game since my computer is to slow and old to play but i think i'll leave before he gets home today so he can rest since he starts work at like 5 every morning. Well that it fo now i'll probably post again later. By the way i did add a new poll last night it's kind of lame but it;s new. If anyone comes up with some good poll questions let me know and I'll make sure they get posted.

No word as of Yet

2006-03-08T19:00:00.000-06:00

I haven't hear any word on that job yet, I was kinda hoping to hear something back today actually but I have a feeling they still may be interviewing a few other people. Plus I know the lady that is doing the hiring is gone now for the rest of the week on vacation. So the earliest I'll hear anything now is Monday.

Hello my name is Mr. Cash

2006-03-08T05:23:00.000-06:00

Saw the Movie Walk the Line Yesterday with mom now this morning I can't get the Walk the line and Ring of fire Song outta my head I'm walking around saying burn burn burn ring of fire even though i don't think thats how it goes. Oh well, hopefully I'll have good news to report later I'm suppose to hear about that job today.

Birthday Party Pics

2006-03-06T20:21:00.000-06:00

A new week a new beginning Perhaps

2006-03-06T07:59:00.000-06:00

Start of a brand new spanking week, I am hoping to hear good news about that job later this week. I'm still looking and I made a connection with a head hunter this weekend at a party I attended. So I plan on scheduling an appointment to see if she can assist me in finding a job as well. Had a great weekend hung out with dad for awhile went to bestbuy my favorite store of all-time. I have this gift card to spend there but I keep not finding anything I really want to buy but Harry potter's new movie is coming out Tuesday so I'll probably use part of the card to buy that. Saw the new movie firewall with by bud Aaron this weekend movie was ok probably should of waited to rent it though. My second cousin Emilia turned the big 1 years old yesterday so I went to the birthday party it was fun. She is a very cute little girl I'll be posting pics in a few days hopefully. Had my first real experience driving in the snow yesterday as well. I felt it went well I got myself and my dad back into town in one piece. I also want to give kudos to Uncle Mike and my cousin Alex for coming up with a ramp system so I could get into the house where the party was. It wasn't nearly as scary as some ramps I've used in the past.

A step in the right direction

2006-03-02T18:45:00.000-06:00

Well i finally heard back from that one job that i was saying was pretty promising today. Had another 5- 10 min phone interview with them and now Tommorow I need to go take a microsoft Excel skills Test for them. Man a lot of hoops to jump through these days just for a part time office job but that ok. At least i've made it this far in the interview process. I'm not to worry about the test I'm pretty good at using it. Took a whole semester class on it in college. However i spent most of the the afternoon brushing up on a few things and I will go over somethings again in the morning. I wanted to write a little more but i can't since my favorite show Deal No Deal is on in about 5 minutes. Maybe I'll post later. Doubt it though Baseball is on tonight WBC opening round china Vs. Japan I Think gotta watch baseball you know.

New Poll Posted

2006-03-01T12:17:00.000-06:00

Just posted a new Poll

Sitting by the phone and waiting

2006-03-01T11:53:00.000-06:00

No I'm not waiting for my girl friend to call or anything like that man I haven't done that for year's and that's actually a good thing. My track record with people of the opposite sex isn't that great but that's a whole other post someday maybe. I've been waiting to here back from the few places I interviewed at last week. I hadn't heard anything from the one place that look real promising so I gave them a call this morning and had decided to interview a few more after all. So they said a decision may not be made until like Friday or even as late as Monday. Which I'm half glad about because that means I'm still in the running and half pist about because that means there are more people to compete against now. I haven't even got a call to come in for any new interviews or anything. I try and get at least one job interview a week that way I feel some what productive. Speaking of productive I have actually straighten up my desk for a change and I can actually use it now.

A good Weekend

2006-02-27T17:37:00.000-06:00

Had a really good weekend saw a movie " the date movie" very funny i reccomend it if you like spoof movies like scary movie or hot shots. Saw a good baseball movie as well yesterday at Gary's house called 61* it was about Roger Marris and Mickey Mantle and the home run record in 1961. Spent lots of time with friends as well this weekend Justin was down and we got together with dave and had a few rum and cokes. Haven't heard anything on the job front really today but i did apply to a few more jobs this morning. Deal no Deal is on tonight, along with 24 so i'm all excited to watch tv tonight.

A day at the mall.

2006-02-24T19:04:00.000-06:00

Went to the mall today with my mom. It was cool haven't been there for awhile and I also enjoy looking around at the different stores and stuff. Bought a few things not much though. I've been kind of busy and lazy this week that is why I haven't posted to much this week. I had a really good interview during the week and it looks very promising so I hope it all works out. I should know a lot more by the early part of next week. I have been in contact with an old friend from high school over the last week or so. It's funny cause she remembers me but I don't really have any idea who she is really. I unfortunately have not really kept in contact with my of my friends from a high school. Which looking back upon it is a shame those really were some good years of my life. But I go to WWW.classmates.com every once and a while and kinda check up on how some of my old classmates are fairing. This old classmate of mine is interested in prepaid legal services so she'd like together sometime soon to know more about it. So hopefully that will happen over the next week or two. I don't have anything to exciting planned for the weekend. I may go see the new "Date Movie" with the parents in the afternoon tomorrow and I'd like to get together with justin as well since he's down and I have the mix cd that I made for him a few weeks ago. On a side note when I was at the mall earlier today with my mom she helped me come some great ideas for a Wedding present for justin and Nikki. Man I know I give justin a hard time time to time about how he's giving up the single life but she really is a great Gal and they are really good together much better than his last girl which is a whole other story and may make for a good post some day!! Ok enough about the J man. Back to my weekend plans I think on Sunday I may go and vist with my friend Gary and cheer him up a little since he seems a little down since he's also having trouble finding a job.

Baseball is almost here!!!

2006-02-20T20:49:00.000-06:00

Man I love baseball especially in the last couple years I have really regained interest in baseball. I think fantasy baseball has a lot to do with that. I think Barry Bonds should quit all his complaining about his aches and pains and just retire already. I admit he hits the ball extremely well but I just think he is a cocky S.O.B and I really can't stand him. That World Baseball Classic competition is starting next week so I'm stoked for that.

World Baseball Classic March 3-20

Daytona 500

2006-02-20T20:32:00.000-06:00

Yeah I watched the 500 yesterday well at least most of it. I mostly like it when they crash and unfortunately there wasn't too many of those yesterday which I guess is a good thing but it loses the etertainment value for me. I do like Jimmy Johnson so I'm glad to see he won. Tony Stewart is a jerk in my opinion. It was a last minute decision but I love fantasy sports and I have been going through withdraws since football's over and baseballs still a month or so away so I joined a free racing fantasy game on espn stock car challenge. I'm not sure I'll complete the whole season and how well I'll do but ill pick the guys I know and see how that strategy goes.

Another Cold Day

2006-02-19T19:00:00.000-06:00

Another cold day in the dairyland, not as cold as yesterday though. Didn't do much today. Did go out and start the car and went to go get some gas for the van. This week I have to go get new windshield wipers because the ones I have now where destroyed when my dumb as tried to use them when they had been frozen to the car. Also hope to score a few more interviews this week and to hear back from the one job I had a job interview for early last week. Had a rum and coke last night. And made chocolate chip cookies they were yummy. Have to go feed my neighbor Dave's turtle a piece of lettuce tonight before I go to bed. Since he left town this morning with his GF and went to the casino up north.

2006-02-17T16:44:00.000-06:00

Hey all, I know it's been a while since I've posted but haven't really felt like it. For several reasons, one is that I was fired or as they put it " we are letting you go for lack of sales/leads" Granted I only worked there for two days so give a guy a fucking chance at least a week or two. Oh well I must admit I don't think telemarketing was my gig but at least it was some thing would have been nice to get at least a paycheck or two. So its back to the drawing board as they say in an attempt to find a job. Although I had a really good interview earlier in the week as well so hopefully something will come from that. Enough of that job B.S for now. The other thing that's had me down is this nasty cold I caught late last week. At least I can talk now without being in pain. Third its really cold outside and lots of snow so my van is buried and frozen shut I'm sure. No big plans for the weekend kinda wanta go see the movie called the date movie but I think it will have to wait to next weekend. I may call for hotel reservations for Justin's wedding cause according to him rooms are starting to fill and I don't want to have to sleep in my van for three days cause shit I may not have a van in September if I don't find another job soon I'll be sleeping in a card board box . Well that's it for now.

First day is in the books!!

2006-02-13T17:57:00.000-06:00

Well my first day of work is complete. It went fairly well. My boss seems nice and my co-workers are pleasant as well. I Think for now this will be a good fit for me. Granted its not my ideal dream job but it will help me cover car insurance and a few other things so it serves its purpose well.

My First day of Work

2006-02-13T07:13:00.000-06:00

I start my job today. I am kinda looking forward to it. The only bummer part is I think I started to come down with a cold late last night. So my throat is kinda sore this morning. So it should make talking on the phone at work very interesting to say the least. Well wish me luck and I'll post later tonight to let you all know how the first day went. Have a Great day!!!

No Football... What to do?

2006-02-12T13:46:00.000-06:00

With the Nfl season done for another year I am left lonely and depressed. Ok not really but I do miss having football to watch. Ok yeah I know what your thinking the Pro-Bowl is on tonight. However I think that is such a bogus game that I have no interest in it. I thought I'd play Madden 05 on my Playstation 2 but the darn game keeps locking up on me. The disc must be dirty but I'm too lazy to clean it. Pitchers and catchers report to camp this week Thursday or Friday so that means spring training is just around the bend. I am so jacked for it it's not even funny. I'm have tickets to brewers opening day the only little hitch is now I'm working. I'll have to figure something out. I added a count down to opening day and Justins Wedding at the bottom of the blog last night. That way Justin can have a constant reminder of how little time as a free man he has left (Just kidding Justin Nikki is a great Gal!!) Got a busy week this week, tomorrow I start my job at 9 am but I have to get there a few minutes early to fill out some paper work. Then after work I got to go to the wheelchair company and have a set of new tires put on my chair. Tuesday I actually have another job interview after work. I know a lot of my friends have been telling me why continue to look since I have a job now but I just want to keep my options open and see if I can find something that is a little more in my field of expertise. Plus also some time this week I have to go over to gary's and drop off somethings he's gonna store for me. So a busy week man am I gonna be tired.

2006 Winter Games

2006-02-11T17:37:00.000-06:00

Last night after watching dancing with the stars the results show I decided I would turn on the opening ceremonies for the winter games and I watched about an hour and a half of them and got bored with them. I don't know how much of the games I really will watch probably just the skating and maybe a little of the bobsled as well. But it's also hard because its on like three different stations all at different times. The summer games are probably overall more interesting.

Cleaning Day at the apartment

2006-02-11T17:29:00.000-06:00

Well today with the help of my mom and dad they help me clean up and organize my bed room and a little of the living room even though it still needs work. According to them I was living in and probably still do live in a pig pen but I like to call it organized chaos!! However I do feel better now that my bedroom closet doors open and close all the way now. Plus tonight I'm going through all my bills and stuff so I can setup a budget and get organized financially as well.

Happy Friday

2006-02-10T19:07:00.000-06:00

Happy Friday everyone. Had a nice meal with the folks tonight. A real good fish fry can't beat that. Called the place that I am going to be working and yes I will start this Monday so I'm excited about that.

The Stupid Phone

2006-02-09T07:35:00.000-06:00

I went to bed rather early yesterday evening because I was tired from a lot of driving I had done during the day . So I was asleep and the damn phone rang which is weird because one it was the home line and most people know it's best to reach me on the cell and second all my friends and family know not to call me late unless it is a dire emergency because I get up early in the mornings. So of course I jump out of bed in a cold sweat thinking something must be wrong at home with either grandma or possibly one of my parents so I wheel out to the living room in my chair as fast as I can running my foot in to the wall in the process grab the phone and nervously answer the phone hoping it isn't my mom on the other side and it's this guy asking for a Tim. So I said wrong # and hung up. Then of course I by than I was wide awake and it took about an 1/2 hr for me to fall back asleep.

50 posts and counting!!!

2006-02-08T19:49:00.000-06:00

Wow I made 50+ post to this blog of mine over the past 3 months. I'm shocked were has the time gone. I actually didn't think I would stick with this blog for more than a week or two a month tops but I actually started enjoying making posts and watching my counter stats increase which meant people were actually taking time to hear about my little adventures I like to embark on. Which makes me feel good over and visited a friend of mine Gary. He is a great guy we both enjoys sports a lot especially baseball. Unfortunately, he lost his job of 26 yrs last week so I was over at his house today helping him write and post his resume to several job sites such as monster and careerbuilder. We also watched a movie on his big screen I told him he should sell it to me but he didn't like that idea to much.

A new poll posted

2006-02-06T14:25:00.000-06:00

Don't forget to check this week's poll I'm sure this will get the participation moving.

The Super Bowl

2006-02-06T14:16:00.000-06:00

Congrats to the Steelers for winning the Super bowl this Year!!! Although I feel had some calls gone the other way the Seahawks would have been the champs. It was nice to see Jerome Bettis leave the game on top as a World Champion. I thought the half time show with the rolling stones was ok I think they were having trouble with there equipment the first song. I wasn't to impressed with the commercials either this year.

One more week of Vacation

2006-02-06T14:03:00.000-06:00

As many of my reader's of this blog may or may not know last week I was hired at a company as a customer service rep. I was suppose to start this week Monday but for some reason on their end they would like me to start next Monday. At first I was a little upset about this because I had just told everyone I possibly know that I finally got a job and that I be starting moday. Plus since I have been rejected so often over the past few months on previous jobs I thought I was kinda gonna get screwed out of this job as well. However, I talked to the guy who hired me he assured me that the job is mine if I want it so I am glad about that and I guess I will enjoy one more week of freedom before I start working again. Although it would have been nice to start making some money this week.

What a relief

2006-02-02T06:56:00.000-06:00

I think me not having a job, and the whole van financial situation was taking a toll on me emotionally and physically more than I thought or lead on to believe. I say this because I slept the best I have I swear in about 4 months last night. I know it will take a while for my whole financial situation to totally stabilized but having a little additional money coming in besides my social security is a good start. Plus I'm going talk to my dad and see if he can help me budget a little better as well so I can save a little money for a rainy day as well.

Finally!!

2006-02-01T11:21:00.000-06:00

Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ladies and gentleman brace yourselves MR. Matt got himself a job. Starts Monday, part-time morning hrs. I'll be working for a company called Everdry Waterproofing in there customer service dept making calls to potential clients. Yes, it's a glorified way of saying telemarketer but I look at it this way it's a job and it will give me good customer service experience and I can also keep looking for other opportunities as well. Plus with this job it looks like I might be able to keep the van after all which is a definite good thing.

P. Miller it's Time to part ways and head back to the hood hommie

2006-01-20T18:31:00.000-06:00

Yes I watch Dancing with the stars and it's definitely time for P. Miller the rapper to pack his bags and head back home to the hood. I don't think he should have ever agreed to be on the show because he didn't even give a real effort. My early prediction is that Stacy the former pro wrestler wins it. Man I'm not a leg man myself but damn Stacy has some fine lookin legs on her. Oh Yeah Baby!!

What were they thinking?

2006-01-20T18:13:00.000-06:00

I must admit I am a big harry Potter fan. I have seen all the movies that have been made so far and have also read most of the books. I just got done reading the 6th book and i am pissed off at where it is going. They killed off a major charcter Dumbledore. That is huge its like killing off Luke skywalker in episode 4 before he gets a chance to meet vader. All I can say is the auther better know what she is doing.

I was at the store today and saw a few guitars for sales I've always like guitars because my dad talks about them once and a while since he use to play. So I think that makes him very cool in my book. Maybe some day once i eventually graduate college and get a good job I can buy him a guitar again. Of course by the time that happens hill be like 90!!

Movie Review

2006-01-04T06:14:00.000-06:00

Yesterday was another typical day of crappy January weather in Wisconsin and since I had a gift card from blockbuster from Christmas yet. I decided to rent a few new flicks. I rented the Wedding Crashers which I thought was funny but wasn't as good as some people told me it was. Then I aslo rented American Pie: Band camp. Now I must admit at first I thought this movie was going to totally suck because none of the orginal american pie cast was in it except for the Shermanator and Jims Dad. I also thought it was gonna be bad because it went straight to video and was never released in the theater. With all this being said I felt that the movie was very good and I laughed a lot more than I thought I would. The only thing that might have made it a little better of a movie was if some of the orginal american pie cast members would have made an appearence. Have a nice day!!

Birthday Wishes

2006-01-03T10:13:00.000-06:00

Just wanted to wish my Aunt Jackie and my best friend Aaron a happy birthday since their birthdays are this week.

4th in Fantasy football

2006-01-02T16:50:00.000-06:00

Yes I admit it I'm a fantasy sports fanatic. I use to all sports but now I've cut back to only fantasy football and baseball because if you want to do well you have to devote lots of time deciding on a good lineup. I'm actually quite happy with my 4th place finish this year for two reasons. First reason the top 3 finishers are true fantasy geeks they live for fantasy sports my hat is off to them. Second I beat my friend Justin which is kinda amazing because we have been back and fourth in the point standings all year.

Someone watches to much Reality TV

2006-01-02T09:42:00.000-06:00

Last Week Thursday, I had a job interview which is a very rare thing to occur for me lately. So I was very eager and optimistic that I might finally get a job that I desperately need. However, once I got there and was in the interview which lasted all of 4 minutes by the way my balloon of hope was deflated. The interviewer started off by asking the typical interview questions and than it got weird really fast. He asked me if I had ever seen the reality TV show the apprentice. Of course I said Yes because that happens to be one of my shows I like to watch. Anyways, then he went on to tell me I would compete with 8 or 10 other people for the administrative assistant position. After hearing that I nicely said no thank you and left. I want a job not to be a contestant on a game show!!
Let the job Search Continue!!!

2005-12-06T07:46:00.000-06:00

Man oh Man It's been cold up here in Wisconsin the last few days and today doesn't look like it's gonna be getting any warmer. My organizing of my desk and papers went pretty well yesterday but I still need to work on straighting up the rest of the apartment. Today I plan on straighting up some more and figuring out what classes I plan on taking next semester. Have a Nice Day!!

Start Of A New Week

2005-12-05T08:47:00.000-06:00

Well today is Monday,and for a majority of people that means back to work today. However, in my case since I am currently looking for work and have decided to take this semester off from school. I guess I am on a very long weekend. I do have have plans today though. I have decided to spend the day since it's very cold here today organizing my desk and other things in my apartment. For those of you that know me well know that organization is not one of my strong points. So it will be interesting to see how my ideas turn out.

A Typical December Sunday in Wisconsin

2005-12-04T09:05:00.000-06:00

It's football sunday, and a big test awaits our beloved Greenbay Packers as they take on their arch rivals the Chicago Bears down in Chicago. In years past I would say it would be a easy victory for the Packers but not this year! Well no matter what team wins it should be a great game to watch.

Welcome
