SubscribeWelcome to my website/blog. The one you’ve landed on here, now, is my personal blog. There are few aspects of my life that I feel passionate enough to write about. Comedy, Internet Marketing and Life to name a few. This “personal” blog will most likely include a little of all of it, and probably a little more of my spiritual side as it’s a large part of my personal life. I want to talk a bit about why I’m even starting this project
I’ve suddenly got the inspiration to share with the world, a very candid and raw work of mine and it’ll be in the form of writing on this blog. I want to be honest with everyone and at the same time, document my life. I’ll be using this blog in a way that I imagine people used journals before computers were invented or at least before you could find one in every house hold. I want it to be very real and full of character. My character. I’m not a very open person in nature. Rarely do I find myself the life of the party or the meat of the story and I’m completely ok with that. This blog is not about getting attention. I just feel I can express more to you by writing. My ideas have always flown out of me much more fluently with written words than they ever have from my mouth. Many times, I would find myself typing very insightful ideas that I could never say out loud. Not necessarily because I don’t think them, more because I can’t seem to articulate what I mean, on the spot. To me, that is a flaw, as I would imagine I would be much more charismatic and influential if I could. I am anxious to come back and read these a few years down the road and remember my situation, my influences, my state of mind. It would also be pretty neat to have you comment on my posts. I would much rather this be a dialogue than a monologue. I will always think of this as a dialogue, even if the other end is myself. This is a project that I really feel passionate about as of writing this and I can only hope I can maintain this momentum.
I have a real problem with staying on task, and keeping up with projects. Even when these projects could make my dreams come true. I find it hard to stay motivated enough to complete or even work on them. I hope to break that habit, here and now. With you. I’ll be starting another one of these blogs, that is going to be all about my internet marketing ventures and other business ventures, that blog will be highlighting the “Passionate Entrepreneur Matt”. I want to keep these two sides of me separate just to avoid clutter and confusing purposes. I imagine, when I can find the time, I will start another blog highlighting the comedian and filmmaker in me. I have a love for a wide variety of art forms. Making people laugh and using the most advance visual and audio technologies to capture these moments is a very strong passion of mine. I’ve unofficially decided to postpone that part of my life for now though. Film can be expensive and I don’t necessarily want a “career” in film. It is my art, and I don’t want to associate it with my income. In a nutshell, my current plan is to become a skilled marketer and get very good at the art of selling. With the earnings from my internet marketing venture I plan to finance my own comedic film projects so that I don’t have to sacrifice any creative control. Not to say that I want to completely control the creativity. I just don’t want the decisions of my films to be made with the intent of earning more money. I want them to be influenced by the purity of the art. By what will create the best scene for the big picture of the film. The purpose isn’t to get you guys to flock to the theaters and break down the doors so you can spend your money on our movie. It is to compliment the purpose behind the story being told.
I realize I’ve gotten a little off track and many of you will not read past the first paragraph. This introductory post isn’t suppose to “nutshell-ize” my entire life up to this point. That’s the purpose of this entire blog, as well as to present the “present” in a perspective that only I possess. Although I do predict many of you will have similar perspectives and I encourage you to share them. I really want to keep up with this, and my biggest fear as of writing this is I’ll drop the project like I have so many times before. I keep thinking, “how hard can it be, just write what’s in your mind” and I’m literally doing that. Most of my literary works follow an outline. I like outlining and creating a clear plan of action before I write. But not this, it’s free form. It’s “say it as it enters your mind”. That’s the way I want to keep this. My other blogs will be structured with an outline, but this is me. This is the side of me that only few know about. I do mean few, most of my closest friends and relatives have no idea, and how could they? I spent the last 18 years of my life in a shell. So many thoughts in my head, but a fraction (less than 1/1000) were expressed to anyone.
So just to recap. I’m going to lay it out to you the way I see it. Which means there’s no censor. I do cuss. A lot. Not in an angry expression. I just find cussing funny. When used correctly. With this blog, I’ll be sharing with you a lot of my past, and even more of my present and what I can tell of my future. You’ll get all the ups and downs and I want YOU to be part of this. Should my writings inspire thoughts and ideas in your own self I would love nothing more than for you to share them here. I will publish every comment, no matter how rude, vulgar or messed up, as long as it isn’t a spammer trying to get a link back to his website.
I’m going to wrap this up by saying thank you, if you’ve read this far, you are obviously interested for some reason, be it a good or bad one. Any feedback is good feedback. To know that you’ve made it this far is very humbling and inspirational and I encourage you to feed me with that as much as your amazing soul desires. I’ll finally close with a request. I request that, should you feel compelled to, reply with a comment using the form below. I don’t have a specific question for you, but I do want to know whats on your mind. I’ll try to keep up with this blog as much as possible. In a perfect world, I’d post everyday. But in my world, and because at the time of writing this, I have 2 jobs and literally work 7 days a week, it’ll probably be closer to 1 or 2 posts a week.
So Thanks for sticking around and expect a new post soon. Post a comment below and join in on the dialogue.
