Remember December!

I was sorting through some stuff on my phone today and organizing thoughts for blogs and story ideas when I came across an old entry.

Have you ever googled just your first name? I did sometime ago and what I received blew my mind. Check it out below.



How cool is that? Some dude named Matt has hit up over 64 countries in the last two years dancing his heart out. I’ve been jealous in the past, but this is just down right murderous envy right here. Talk about an amazing experience. I mean he must have needed TWO visas just to pull it off. I tip my hat to you Matt and I’m glad you represent us.

I’ve long been a proponent that Americans need to travel outside the country. Ignorance runs rampant in this country as we take everything for granted. Some people still shit in holes in the ground people. Just the other day an unnamed family member of mine got defensive because as an American, she shouldn’t have to speak Italian to order a coffee from Starbucks. Holy shoelaces Batman! Where is this world headed?

I mean honestly, we are the United States of America, the one country forged on the bastard children of different cultures and society’s with the gumption to make themselves better. Where did all this pride and boasting come into play? I mean our greatest achievements and military might come from foreigners themselves. We really just need to get over ourselves.

If you haven’t ever travelled, please do, every single one of us could use the perspective.

On the birthday front, I couldn’t really get anything planned due to a lack of effort and the things I wanted to do falling through. Now it looks like we are getting drunk on high-speed go-karts and then if the weather permits a jumper bouncy thingamabob! WOOT! Now if only I can persuade everyone to color their hair red and be a ginger for the night...

Oh and I remembered something I totally need to buy myself! I really want a Tablet so I can draw stuff for the computer. Keep in mind my artistic limits peak at a 4th grade stick drawing level, but I find my drawings at least inspiring for greater things and want to share them with the world.

In the following weeks, I’m going to share some of my deepest thoughts ranging from pet peeves (we all have them) to my greatest ideas of the year (there’s some doozies) the lists are forming and I’m checking them twice.

Lastly, you need to check out this video, the music and passion is amazing. I wish I had the natural gifts this guy has.
