happy birthday to me.





    So what's new?

Well first off, I found my own apt.  I feel so very proud of myself because this was all me. I found it, I paid for it, and for the first time I went shopping for pots and pans and dishes and silverware and cleaning supplies.  Crazy. My first apt. in Brooklyn, New York.

I got a tattoo, "Ces't La Vie" (It's life), on my wrist. I had thought about for a long time and I figured lets start out the new year with something crazy. lol. Did it hurt? Like a fuckin bitch. But you get used to it as it goes.
               

With that aside.... Happy birthday to me.

It's a pretty lame age for a birthday. 19. yeah... But is all cool.  Last night I started thinking about my 18th birthday; and I just started thinking about how my life used to be.  The people that I had in life and the person that I was becoming.  So much has changed.  A year ago I was going to the rink at 8 o'clock and staying till 4... going to school every thursday... High school... Teaching....I don't know why.. but it feels like such a long long time ago.  Do I miss it? Yes and no. I love it here in NYC, I love the people, how liberal it is, how no one cares about anything (or better put, no one judges). I feel like this is what I need to discover myself, however corny that sounds.


anyways...

love ya,

Matthew

Winter Time is Here


Well, Its my first winter in NYC, and I feel it's going to be the toughest winter of my life. Yeah, I have my friends, but it's weird not to have family around you. It hasn't been till now that I have felt this homesick.  Why is winter so damn hard?  I just remember the snow dances, the snow fights, the christmas shows.   

But let's be honest,
I do have the best friends ever! 


Love,
me
