metaphors for life

Posted: 30th June 2008 by matt in Uncategorized

As of yet I hadn’t done my spiritual post, but tonight you get to see the side of me that truly defines who I am. You see, I’m not a nerd, an IT professional, or any other title, but am in fact a soldier. There is one thing that every soldier must do in order [...]

the catch-up post

Posted: 26th June 2008 by matt in Uncategorized

Okay, the story so far… Got a free iPhone, broke it. Got another free iPhone, broke it. Gave up, bought a BlackBerry, am now addicted. Danelle graduated from Dental Assisting School. Yay! If you’ve had your ear to the news at all, you’ve probably heard that California is currently engulfed in some 1500 or so [...]

jumping for joy

Danelle graduated from Dental Assisting school! There’s no words to describe my excitement and pride. I’m the master of phones with problems this month, lol. I’ve had to return both Danelle’s and my BlackBerries due to defects. Between destroying two iPhones, and now burning through two BlackBerries, I’m hoping this isn’t some kind of exciting [...]

good news, bad news.

We got the results of Danelle’s tests today, and they came back… negative? I think this result is probably worse than having a doctor tell you with assurance that they know what’s wrong with you. Please pray for her. So I got my hackint0sh working, and I unplugged it because it doesn’t support my super [...]

matt – the iphone slayer

Posted: 17th June 2008 by matt in Uncategorized

It’s official, I am not allowed to own an iPhone. I broke my first one after just a day by dropping it on the ground. This morning, I bricked my new one by dropping it in an ovular body of water. You know, the one with the handle the goes up and down? *Sigh* I [...]

I know this post is way out there in the realm of geekdom for some of my friends and family, but it is something that I have going on, and I want to write about it. For a long time there’s been an ongoing feud between those of us who are PC users, and those [...]

big decisions and short money

Posted: 13th June 2008 by matt in Uncategorized

I have some big decisions to make. Danelle has been sick for a long time, and at this point the doctors are telling us that we have only two choices to make. One would be misery for Danelle, and since we’ve already gone through that option, it’s not much of a choice. The second option [...]

pain at the pump

Posted: 10th June 2008 by matt in Uncategorized

No doubt you’ve had to buy a few gallons of gas recently. It’s hurting all of us, and it’s hard not to talk about the subject. Without making my blog overtly political, I do want to talk about this for just a second. Here’s a breakdown of the current cost of a gallon of gasoline: [...]

a long long time ago…

Posted: 10th June 2008 by matt in Uncategorized

Well it’s been a very long time since I was active on the blog scene, and to be honest I wasn’t really expecting to make a comeback wirelessly, but such is the way of things. It’s been four long years since I wrote a blog that anyone had the address too, and I’m hoping that [...]
