Well Folks, It happened, Like the dodo bird, dinosaurs, and the Latin language before it, this blog is going extinct. I mentioned previously the relocation of said space to air my ramblings, and in the past few days it has become official. You may now see the writings of myself, along with the much more clever Mike, Cas, and Jon at the following address; http://ablogolypse.blogspot.com/. We are now a blogging supergroup, so check in frequently as there will be not just one person rarely posting, but a much more frequent stream of the thoughts of four goofy twenty-somethings. What could be better? Thanks a lot for taking the time to check in periodically, and for the encouraging and equally hilarious comments left behind. It's been great to have a space to share things I find interesting, funny, and worth noting, and to have people take the time to actually read them is awesome. I'll keep sharing nonsense as long as you guys continue to enjoy it. Thanks ...

It has come to my attention that the all-powerful superior web-designers at MSN have made a drastic mistake in their desire to create the best blog programming on the web. I've been told that after the switch to "Windows Live Spaces" now only those who share an address on this same Live network are allowed to comment on my postings. This has thoroughly upset the narcissistic side of me that revels in the praise and thoughts of others, therefore I am packing up and moving away. Away to somewhere with a more democratic, all-inclusive approach to blog commenting; a blog land flowing with milk and honey as it were, if you buy into that expression. It always confused me, especially as a kid. If I was contemplating entering the promised land I could think of several other foods I'd rather it be teeming with, if only metaphorically. Like the land of Steak & Eggs, or the land of Bacon Double Cheeseburgers & A&W Root Beer in a Frosty Mug, or even the land of Turtles ...

Hey There (Hopefully Still Somewhat...) Faithful Reader Team, Now that I'm sure the number of those that frequent this space has dwindled down to less then the number of thumbs I own, I've decided to get back into the habit of writing good hearty thoughts frequently. I'ts been a long summer, and it's taken me over a week to get back to the hustle and bustle of all that is involved with University, but here I am now ready to renew one of my favourite things about my past year. I've certainly been mulling over a few things but since none of them would be worth reading about in their present unfinished state I'll leave you with a brilliant poem I found this summer. Check back soon for some material I won't have jacked from someone more intelligent than myself, Yahoooo! Matt Salvation Salvation happens at five years old. Salvation is better protection against the dark than her Wonder Woman nightlight. Salvation makes her run into the kitchen to tell ...

Because of undue pressure to spontaneously update what's been going on in my so-called life, here goes a total stream of conciousness entry about how I spent my day today. Now a little bit of background information is probably in order, so here goes nothing. I've been spending my summer at camp, working at the most emotionally draining program I've yet had the privilege of participating in. I am lucky enough to journey along with several awesome sixteen-year-olds as they try to discover what it means to be a leader through the camp's Leader-In-Training program. This often means long nights, long talks, and long staff meetings, which although tremendous, are nothing if not exhausting. I am totally wiped at day's end and often feel like this causes me to shy away from any sense of normalcy. Luckily I spend nights and time off during the day living in a small cabin with 2 other guys who are willing to celebrate my craziness and are no doubt as weird as I've come to discover I ...

This is me back from hiatus after a long layoff from writing due to several simulataneous circumstances which sought to go through with their evil plans to prevent me from noting how ridiculous my life has now become. What may those be you ask? I can only say that I hope the Muskoka.ca server communication tower of all things internet is never mysteriously zapped by lightning again and hopefully that this site remains unblocked by the security software on my camp network. Since I'm in a state of absolute confusion and surprise over the fact I'm able to access both the internet and my space at the same time all I can think to write is possibly the funniest story I've heard in quite some time; Welcome to Matt's Story Corner Pt. 2... My boss while working here at camp is an awesome guy who is unfortunately British and still keeps in touch with his family on the good ship British Isles. His father, the minister at a local church, related to him this tale; A young single ...
