Matt Matteson

Last tuesday I drove Trevor to the airport. He was off to visit his parents in CA. Thursday my Dad took my mom to the airport for a work trip. Saturday night Dad and I picked up Mom at around 1 AM. Now today, Wednesday I picked up Steven from the airport. Note this was all done in Dad’s Mazda.

Ok, Steve is here, but I really don’t have anything fun planned tonight. Right now we are at the kitchen table, I had a biz call and he started to update his web log. He’s not done yet so I figure I would do the same with the iBook. Good times.

That means I am cleaning a little now…

You know you are Matt Matteson when you have dusty sticky notes.

I have six printers in my room, and I only use one. I could only possibly use two of them. Maybe ebay fun…

I have 10 pairs of shoes, and 7 pairs of flip flops/slippers.

I am home from the Tinker’s Punishment show at the Gothic Theater. There was scheduled to have three bands performing tonight, although we found out otherwise when we arrived: the first band didn’t make it from what ever state they were coming from. The band that then played before Tinker’s Punishment was blah, well at least I thought so.

Tinker’s Punishment put on a great performance as I saw only a few months ago. Now the kicker at the show was during the set they presented a name change. Tinker’s Punishment is now The Films. I enjoyed their explanation and reasoning. The Films explained that as when you were a kid and your father had a beard or mustache. Explaining that when they shaved it off, it was a little weird, but it was still your dad - good analogy.

Before the show, I helped Dad patch the roof around our skylights that have recently been leaking during our non-Colorado rain storm-week. As say the many hail storms in the last week has lead to the development of tons of hail repair trailers around and sales at many of the car dealerships. The van has a few not very noticeable dots, and today we found Dad’s car has a very slight dent on the roof that makes light bend enough that a product of public school could determine was not part of the original design.

Last night I hung out with Ben W and Andrew B. We didn’t really have a plan but we entertained ourselves quite well. At my house, we had some computer time, a few pinball games, and music sampling. Next, we found our way to the valley and took a friend of Andrew’s car back into town to get some Chinese food. The food was for Andrew and his friend. Ben and I later had our dinner at Quiznos. The night also head a film drop off and a relaxing stay in my hot tub. During out soak, Ben had mastered a play list that was executed while we sat. The rain, and thunder – and a killer lightning show further enhanced Ben’s play list. Dad proved his kind character and brought us cookies and cokes while it hailed and we observed from our 102°F surrounding.

After a detour to the computer with a few games of pinball, I found myself with a desire to update my web site. I opened all the websites I check daily- well now hourly; Summer has given me more moments- I need to make more friends with people with weblogs to read. I saw my friend Steve update with what he did, and the thoughts that followed. Mike O posted images for t-shirts that he wants to make that have his mike-humor stained on them. Mike M posted a political rant while Amie copy and pasted some lyrics to a song I didn’t read.

So far, it looks like I am going to tell you what I did. I just don’t know what I want this site to be. I like to share things I find on the internet that interest me. I feel like I am still sharing them, and not providing the opportunity to irritate someone. What do you want? Not a list; I hope – my list would be darn short. My opinions, I don’t like to share, I would upset others and myself; If you have been with me for over a few hours you’ll see my negative views and criticism. It might be good though – I could make a bashing thread on the dlzip.com forums.

I have free time – a lot of free time. I have created a list of books to keep me entertained as I have found the many I have turned through proved great time consumption. Unlike many games, my hand-eye coordination has not improved – well I bet I have a good turn speed with out tearing time. Books are a great place to find ideas your mind can ride. People say what they say, and then you take a turn challenging, accepting, or writing on your weblog about it. When I took a long walk today, after proving that I know a disturbing percent of the lyrics, I have another ground in the electrical storm of my mind. Please recommend me a book; non-fiction is preferred.

My friend Steven Vance from Illinois is coming to hang out with me for a week. I am glad he arrives in only a week as I think it will be a vacation for me. Yes; I am selfish, I thought I looked human. Luckily; my desires for a vacation in Colorado mean Steve, I, and possibly you have an opportunity for a elevating week; At least that is the plan.

After to proving to myself - and the people who look at me, that I can apply myself to generic and regular exercise I may take the PowerBook outside and see if I can figure out what I really like and want. A self-expiring body with no guarantee limits my efforts; Documented by the blinding light that typically rises and falls above.
