A Happy Unhappy Holiday
It’s December 26, 2023, AKA Boxing day. The big Christmas celebration is over and the new year is right around the corner. I wish that I could say 2024 is going to be a fresh start. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of hope for what is coming. About 5 weeks ago, I was sitting … Continue reading
Know Thyself
Socrates once said “man, know thyself”. No matter how much time passes, this little quote still remains true to this very day. Recently I decided to take a trip to Los Angeles. I’m working on a blog post for it on my travel blog, but I wanted to write something as little different about it … Continue reading
We’re All A Little Tired
It’s December 31st and the new year starts tomorrow. We’re about 2 years into the COVID pandemic and we’re all kind of tired of everything we have had to endure. But above all else, we’re exhausted with hearing our “leaders” change their minds every week about what makes the most sense to keep us safe … Continue reading
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
A few days ago I posted a thing on Facebook about how I have been feeling stressed out over the last little while. I don’t like “vague-booking” but I really felt the need to thank the folks who’ve been helping me through this. Today, I can finally talk about what’s going on. Less than an … Continue reading
Reflecting on COVID-19
Normally I reserve my work blog for tutorial videos and other product specific posts. But every once in awhile, I find myself wanting to just write about experiences. It’s Friday afternoon and it’s been a slower day so I thought I’d take a few minutes to jot down a few things. It’s been over a … Continue reading
The Proust Questionnaire
It’s 12:30am and I am nowhere near ready to go to bed. Surfing YouTube, I came across a video of Stephen Colbert doing something called The Proust Questionnaire from Vanity Fair. I found the questions very interesting so I thought I would do it myself. Here we go. 1.What is your idea of perfect happiness? … Continue reading
My Last Seven Days
I signed up for this online writer’s class. It’s nothing too major, but I did have to write an interesting item today which really got me thinking. One of the questions on the assessment for the module I am on says to write a 500 word story about what you would do if you found … Continue reading
Matt’s Appreciation 2020 Tour
A while back I posted something on Facebook about the need to show more appreciation for the people you have in your life. I said that it was something I was thinking a lot about recently and wanted to try and find a way to do it. Since then, I have been working on writing … Continue reading
Stuck in a Box
It’s now been a few weeks since we have all been in quarantine. The “work from home” thing hasn’t really affected me as I have been doing that for well over a year now. But the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak are being felt in different ways. I decided that today I would write down … Continue reading
Pondering…
It’s almost midnight and I am supposed to be in bed, asleep. But with all of these thoughts about my book running through my head, all I’m doing is tossing and turning. The act of writing the book, formatting it, adding in the photos, tweaking the details, editing, proofreading, working with the artwork, and everything … Continue reading
