I went to Matt's memorial today. At west school. I know i haven't been updating so know one here is going to know what I'm talking about, unless you know me, or knew matt... aka fat matt. I have the artical that im going to post after my update. If anyone cares to read this that is. & if you don't your a piece of shit!. Matt was a friend of mine, I mean people are going to say to me i'm sure. "you didnt know him like i/we did" and maybe their right. I didn't know him like every other person did. I didn't know him as 'that fat kid'.. I knew him at Matt. The kid that spent a month at my house. Just sitting here. He tripped his first time with me and some other people... Robo-tripped that is. Im going to just write some thoughts about him. Right now, because i know. no one is going to care like i did. I balled my eyes out at this memorial. i couldn't stand it i was dry heeving and all.
Matt rogers, had a smile that could lit the whole world. Fuck it set the universe on fire. & a goofy laugh, that would just put a smile on my face. I saw matt on the bus about 2 weeks ago, and just him smiling at me when he saw me, made my dad. His big wide smile showing his teeth. I'm sorry no one, on here knew Matt.. he would defintly made a diffrence just knowing the kid, or even meeting him once. Thats all it would take.
Love you Matthew, i'll see you soon i promise. <3 R.i.P
