3011 Days. That's 8 years and damn near 3 months. Almost about 430 weeks. What the hell happened?!
One word and these days, it's an everyday 'round the house curse word. Facebook. Well... you might think, Facebook didn't open up to all users until September 26, 2006. That's almost a year you have to answer for, buddy. Well I ain't your buddih, guy. And I had a separate account (secondtheory) that I used all up until 2009.
In my other blog, I believe I covered September 15, 2007 pretty well. If you're unaware of that, here's the gist. I had this friend who was dating this girl long distance. We were all on this forum that another friend had. We had a shit ton of fun on it. Me and my friend's girlfriend became good friends over the phone. Her roommate was really cute however I was too shy to say anything. One day, my friend's girlfriend was too busy to chat...she handed the phone to the cute roommate. We fell for each other almost instantly. We talked for hours and hours. I got in so much trouble too. I liked this girl, a lot.
At the time I was working part-time at Food World and not making a lot of money. My parents and I were having some issues. They had sold their house in Decatur (the one that my sister and I were born and raised in) and had moved into a small apartment. It wasn't bad but it drove my parents nuts. They soon found a house they were happy with but I had to find my own apartment/house as I wasn't able to come with. I did as such and also bought my first airplane ticket ever...to Pennsylvania to meet this girl in person. We fell even harder for each other.
We began dating long distance. She eventually moved down to attend UAH after she was done with Grove City College. We dated pretty heavily. She had some urgent personal medical issues and after some important surgery, she went back home to be with her family. A few months later she broke up with me over the phone without any chance of discussion or getting back together. In fact, I do believe the email said that she didn't miss any of the great times we had and she didn't wish to speak from me ever again. I was badly broken and filled with anger and self hatred. I became cynical and facetious. I really hated the world and things haven't ever been the same since then.
If you were to read my LJ all up until this point, you would see how happy I was and how drastic this changed me. But all was not lost. There was a new hope.
Then something else changed my life forever, but this time for the best. I was brought in as a player in my first improv troupe that I had ever been a part of. Improv became my new love and still is one of the greatest things ever. I love it. It brings out the best in me and makes me feel like a million bucks. I was with Face2Face Improv for a few years before they closed down. We occasionally do really big shows for churches and companies. The members from F2F then went on to create Comic Science Improv, which although I am a part of, I am not a frequent flier as I will explain in the next paragraph.
I didn't date much at all for a while after the big break up. I was pretty cynical and broken. She was all I could think about for a long time. What is sad, is that in that time, I broke several hearts myself. To every one of those women that I broke, I deeply apologize. I did meet a girl on Yahoo! Personals and then found her on Facebook. We became great friends and talked over the Internet for a long time. I chased her for a little while and gave up essentially. She had her sights on someone else. Eventually our paths crossed once more and we started dating. We grew on each other and eventually got married. We've been married for 2 years now. We're living in Manchester, TN.
In the past year, I have lost the remainder of my grandparents and my sister has given birth to my first blood related nephew. Currently, my parents are healthy and living happily in North Alabama.
So what...am I doing...back here? Simple. While status updates and picture posts are fun, I miss the days of being able to ramble on and on and post multiple pictures in a blog.
"B...b...but Matt, this isn't Wordpress...and it's not hosted on your own site..."
Yeah, I know, but this is less upkeep honestly.
The real interesting thing...all my friends are gone from this site. So who am I going to post to these days? Dunno. We'll see.
