I am vague, undistinguished, and nondescript.
My Self-Summary
I guess I'll actually make an attempt to fill this stupid thing
out....
My name is Matt. Lately, and for reasons I have yet to learn,
people have started calling me Matthew, and I think it's a bit
presumptuous to assume I have a full, unabbreviated first name, but
I'm alright with that (pretty sure that sentence makes me the
Indiana Jones of English grammar. Sure, I fucked up, but it looked
alright and everything worked out fine in the end). I'm generally a
pretty fantastic person; I've got some funny stuff I say sometimes,
I've got some brains, I've got some hobbies, some opinions, and
they're all pretty decent. Probably have to wait for "half-assed
attempt at a profile v3.0" if you want to know any more...
What I’m doing with my life
I manage a distribution nexus for a big ol' multibillion,
multinational, honest-to-God American corporate monster. Exactly
what my 5 years old self wanted to be when he grow'd up. Meanwhile,
my 3/4 complete physics degree cries itself to sleep each and every
night.
I’m really good at
appreciating irony and dispensing sarcasm. I'm really terrible at
absorbing sarcasm, and after months of consideration, I think it
might just be for the sake of irony.
The first things people usually notice about me
"Oh, that tall boy just fell off his bicycle."
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I'll try to keep this specific enough to determine taste, vague
enough to imply that there's a metric fuckton that didn't make the
list due to enthusiasm and space concerns.
Books: Harry Potter meets Ayn Rand, and they battle Vonnegut. In
space? Written by Neil Gaiman (ghost written by Garth Ennis),
narrated by Richard Feynman (audiobook, obviously), featuring
Aristotle, and edited by Steven King during his earlier Dark Tower
days. Good enough.
Movies: Jurassic Park, plus I'm a sucker for all those Lost in
Translation/Eternal Sunshine types. And Wet Hot American
Summer.
Music: The Black Keys, The Black Lips, The Black Angels, Big Black,
Black Francis, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Blackalicious, Black
Flag, um... Black Eyed Peas. I've heard Black Ladies is quite
alright, but I can't speak from personal experience.
Food: Everything that doesn't have meat or mayonnaise. It's a short
(but boring) story that has nothing to do with not wanting animals
to die. Not that i want animals to die...
The six things I could never do without
John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam,
Graham Chapman.
Lately, special bonus thing: Little Steven's Underground Garage.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Mexican food. God, I wish I was joking.
On a typical Friday night I am
probably sitting at home. Then promptly at midnight Saturday
morning, I'm all over the place.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I am the first man who would not do penance for my virtues or let
them be used as the tools of my destruction.
But really, this question is definitely the worst of the bunch.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
You should message me if
what you've just read isn't the most awful bit of shit you've ever
seen. Or, if you have any tips on performing period-accurate
Medieval dentistry?
But not really.
But really.
Also, is there something wrong with your eye? You keep, like,
winking at me. Stop it, I don't even get it. Say something.
Anything!
