  • Did today really happen?

    Did today really happen?

    Big things happened today. Big things happened. I probably shouldn’t write about them publicly at this point because they’re so fresh and all the information hasn’t been pulled together yet, but damn… life is always seemingly so extra around me and my family. (And I was just starting to feel comfortable and okay with where…

  • Feeling Restless

    Feeling Restless

    This post was written on August 21, 2023 but posted on October 20, 2023. I’ve been stuck in bed again this summer and I’m miffed about it. My Crohn’s decided that it’s been long enough since my last flare-up and I needed to have the extra layer of challenge. So after a short stay in…

  • Thinking About Life Goals

    Thinking About Life Goals

    In my last post, I talked about my desire to get to doing things. One of the reasons for that is to get past the “planning and preparation” stages that I so often eagerly jump into but just as often don’t progress beyond. Now, the reason for that is partly because I’m just that way…

  • Matthew’s Restart Plan

    Matthew’s Restart Plan

    My last post was two years ago (almost exactly). I’ve written a few draft posts in the intervening time, but haven’t completed any of them or felt comfortable what I ended up writing. So let’s ignore the time gap and jump back into things! Now that the COVID-19 pandemic is seemingly “over-ish”, you’re probably seeing…

  • It’s a new season!

    It’s a new season!

    Welcome to a brand-new season of life here in the after times! What a time, eh? I’m sitting here on the sofa; staring at the screen, considering what to write. There’s so much that I could write about, but where to start I don’t know. Much has changed in my life, yet much has stayed…

  • It’s been a long time…

    It’s been a long time…

    …but not that long. I’m back now and that’s what counts. Besides, I’ve been unable to blog for various reasons. Sounds like it’s time for an update! What’s new with me I think that I told you about leaving my job a few months ago due to health problems relating to my Crohn’s. Well, that’s…

  • This week in Matthew’s life…

    All week I’ve been thinking about some really interesting posts to write here on the ol’ bloggy blog, and I started drafting one of them. However, I have yet to finish writing it, so I’m going to do a short update on some current goings on! Currently listening to Galavant Once we caught up on…

  • Where to start?

    Where to start?

    I sometimes have high expectations for myself. 🤨 Okay… very high expectations. 😑 Yes, yes. I often have unrealistically high expectations for myself. This blog is one of those things. Even though I don’t end up putting too much effort into what I write on here (most things end up being silly and totally great!),…

  • Weekly, not daily!

    Weekly, not daily!

    I’m gonna start blogging again. However, instead of writing a new post every single day, I’ll be posting once a week. Unless I feel like there’s more to say, but my weekly minimum post count shall be one. Over the past few weeks I’ve been clicking through my blog and rediscovering some aspects of my…

  • A funny thing happened today…

    …but I don’t recall the details. *shrugs* Oh, well. You’ll just have to live with the knowledge that there was a funny moment in my day today, the details of which you will not know. Today was a good day! So very much better than yesterday. Granted, I didn’t have a good night’s sleep last…

  • Another quick one today.

    Just gonna check in. I don’t have the mental energy to write something more than an update. Today has been long and hard. I consider it to be a good day, though. It started with less sleep than I needed. Again. This time was mostly do to me purposely staying up last night. But because…

  • My nose.

    My nose.

    It’s a love/hate relationship. My nose is causing me such problems right now. It’s hard to breathe, I’m constantly stuffed up, and I have to repeatedly blow my nose. It’s bleeding, it’s hurting, and it’s generally unpleasant. Allergy season sucks. Plain and simple. At least I have a nose, though, eh? *shrugs* M3

  • Be back tomorrow, folks!

    I’m too tired to write now. I just got home, so that’ll be all for today! M3

  • I’m up toobe sixteen now!

    I’m up toobe sixteen now!

    I was sitting here feeling uninspired to write. So I decided to count through my blog posts and when I realized that this post would be number sixteen, I flipped! Mentally. I’m toobe tired to physically flip right now. Plus there’s not enough space to do that here in my room. There’s a podcast called…

  • Photographing a Toilet Paper Tube

    Photographing a Toilet Paper Tube

    So there I was, outside taking pictures of a toilet paper tube with rain falling. How did I get here? Glad you asked! It was a normal day, much like any other day. It had been sunny and warm so far, and I was… doing stuff. I don’t recall exactly what I was doing, but…

  • I didn’t forget…

    I didn’t forget…

    I’ve been thinking about this post all day and I still don’t know what to write. But as usual, something will come to mind once I just start writing. Let’s do this! I was recently given a keyboard! A musical one. And I was pleasantly surprised to see that it has MIDI ports, which means I…

  • Barely Made It!

    I’m cutting it close with this post! I’ve been working on writing up a bunch of stuff for The Aux Cable (my podcast with Ryan Matlock), and I got carried away. Oh well! Here comes my post of the day. 🙂 Let’s just do an update, eh? My body has been feeling horrible lately, and…

  • Oh yeah… I have a blog!

    So I completely forgot that I had this blog until this week. I coulda and shoulda been writing in it all summer. In fact, thinking about it, I think I started to do that a couple times but ended up not actually posting. Well, I’m here now! And that counts for something… Right? Anyway, it’s…
