Lo! (Short for "hello", also the opposite of high, or hi if you're spelling's off) the name is Matt, but since every other 3rd or 4th guy you meet has the name I tend to go by my last name because: a) I'm a teacher and it is what I'm used to hearing. b)having a really German sounding last name in this city tends to mean no one else gets it confused with them. Though it does mean people are usually calling me " Mr. White" it's ok, I forget his demeanor in Reservoir Dogs, it's still a cool connotation in my head.
As can probably be gleaned, when Im not braindead from work I'm usually jumping about when it comes to what I'm thinking. Ill debate anything, allow just about anything as a way of life, and believe nothing, and no one is above ridicule, even if it is just in jest.
I like biking, making beer, people watching, reading, and a lot of things you might find boring. Which is fine, everyone has their own tastes.
** Important footnote: People who always find reading a chore usually don't mesh with me.
TLDR: Blah blah blah Me, blah blah blah

I'm teaching Special Ed. Inclusion in El Paso, TX. Paying off my debts and trying to figure out what I want from life and from who to get it. The end of that sentence makes me sound a little demanding I think but, Im beginning to see what I really want in life and don't want to bide all my time just waiting for it to fall into my lap so to speak.

I'm honestly trying to get out of this city within the year, and hopefully teaching overseas or working on my masters in Austin.

Sticking things out, if I've bothered to make a commitment Ill stick to it and I expect the same from those around me. People who continually flake on you, or don't practice what they preach aren't worth it I find.

I'm good at rambling, and over analyzing also making sushi if you ask my students, but I think that's mainly because its fun grossing out the other students who think its alive or gross.

This is an old line I've had in my profile since its inception. I still like it:
I find myself befuddled and awkward a lot, sort of like Hugh Grant except neither British nor charming.

Usually it's a horrible joke I'm telling.

Beyond that everyone says I look like someone they know, or knew so I guess I blend in.

My students notice that I'm white because apparently that's not allowed in the barrio so that is what I hear about most often.

Book: Anything by Laurie Nortaro- she does humor books but is very good at self depreciating humor which i love, Chuck Palhinuk- Some of his stuff is hit or miss but i still love the ideas he puts into my head Tucker Max- Funny and chauvenistic, go to his site tuckermax.com and read the anal sex story!

Movie: I couldn't say all of them but Wes Anderson's later work ( Life aquatic & Darjeeling Limited), stuff adapted from books, and ones with Steve Martin or Gene Wilder. I do hate action movies that rely on the flying Crouching tiger fighting shit, I'm not sure why it just really bugs me.

Music: Mighty Bosstones, The Offspring, Pretty girls make graves, Pretty much everything I can listen to while I drive, I also find that ska seems to be having a revival, I feel 10 years younger and at 25 sadly I can remember 10 years ago.

Food: Anything with garlic or asparagus, but especially sushi or mexican

My car
My family
The internet
Beer
also beer
motivation
And even the first and 3rd are optional, moving a lot means I try to keep it light now

The book, "I don't Believe in Atheists." Being fairly agnostic it's nice to see someone with a sane outlook towards things on the other side of the fence. Also things like this, other times very less serious like the comic SMBC

Sleeping, seriously after teaching and like 2 beers I'm usually done, how lame is that? To be fair I wake up at midnight, but I dislike loud bars and there's no such thing as a 24 hour Barnes and Noble so I'm out of luck I guess.

I hate rats. Like Indiana jones style.

You have nothing to do and can deal with the fact that I suffer from foot in mouth disease FMD usually once per day.
Also if Ive messaged you and it seems lame, please speak up, I tend to get my ass in gear the closer I know I am to the fire so to speak.
