Changes!
Lately I have been thinking about changes, and how the world needs them.
Now personally I am a pretty left leaning liberal, but I would think that those of us that lean to the right can also agree that the world needs change.
I want wide sweeping change, because it is 2013 and I think we should be more advanced, more accepting, and more...

Adulthood is a trip man.
Why do I say this?
Because I got my latest statement from my credit union and it is like they deleted one month of activity. It is just literally not on the latest statement. It goes from 1/01 to 2/15 and acts like January didnt exist.
Now, I turned 34 in January, but I dont want to act like it...

Thanks, friend!
Adulthood is bizarre in both its benefits and liabilities. I do sometimes wish I didn't know better than I did when I was younger, but ONLY if I can make the fun mistakes. Just say no to the really sucky ones.

It certainly is. I take a lot of pride in being able to pay my own bills. Almost everyone I grew up with is still dependent on their parents for almost everything, and they don't see it, but that extended childhood is eating away at them. As a result I think at least a few of them will never really become adults.

Some of you may have seen me post a picture of a calendar with May 4th circled on it, alluding to a development of sorts. I was cryptic in the posting, because I knew I would let it germinate in my head, that I would let people speculate if they wanted, and then finally I would do what I am doing right now,...

You know that thing where you are looking to your future, thinking about how it would be nice to go somewhere else, see new sights, try a new vocation, see what the world holds for you? Nice, isnt it? To dream of a future that is unknown, but still bright and shiny. Thats what I have been doing since I got back from...

You can do this, Matt. Would you like some unsolicited advice? Start to volunteer or do something in the field or arena in which you would like to work. Join an anthro academic organization and go to some conferences even if just as an attendee. Go to talks. Find some side work cataloging something or researching something or something. Get a crush on a professional and follow them around in a non-creepy way. It is great to have a set of generic skills, and you have faaaaaaaar more capability than most, but you have to capture the imagination of someone reading your resume or cv. Make sure there is some substantial goodness that includes you doing (in some way) what you want to do. Can your advisor hook you up with something along those lines?
stcyr:
Amen ^^. No real advice, just best wishes and a firm conviction that you'll be able to do this,
if you just
do it.

do it.
Big Baseball Trip Take Two!
So, back in 2011 I got dad to go to Seattle with me to watch our Braves play the Mariners. We had to go so that we could see Chipper Jones play, since we werent sure if it would be his last year or not. He went on to play the 2012 season, but he decided that it was his...

I don't know a lot about baseball but that sounds like it will be fun. Hope you have a great time. 
To Cynic Or Not To Cynic, That Is The Question!
Another holiday approaches, and I went back and forth about what to write. Would I go historical and mention a man that became a saint? Would I look at the cliched subject matter that always pops up? Would I weigh in on what others think? I think I will wing it, and see what happens....

Great blog man. While I tend to think Valentines Day is a bullshit holiday, in that we dont need one, special day to be told to celebrate love, Ive always wondered why so many people bear it such animosity.
Love is good,
some say,
its all we need.

I love you! ♥ Fuck it, I love Valentine's Day. It is an even number in an odd month and involves wearing pink and red at the same time. You can love dang near anyone you want in any way you want. Sometimes there is bonus sex. WOO! What's not to love?!

Its been a little while, which makes me mad at myself, but I have had some laptop issues that have caused this delay. I think those issues are mostly out of the way, or at least handled to the best of my ability. So thats the explanation portion of todays blog entry, wasnt that fun?
So, what do I mean by the title...

I was an avid comic collector for most of the 90s, and didn't think I'd ever be able to narrow my interests; but quitting, cold turkey, wasn't as hard as I'd imagined it would be.
I still have all my old comics, and still read them. I'm not sure I'd be able to get rid of them.

...deeper in debt? Nah, that's something I actually have a pretty good handle on, so that's something.
As some of you may have noticed, I had a birthday last week, and I found myself thinking a lot as the day approached and then passed. The number itself doesn't bother me, never has really. I know how I act, I know how...

Thanks. I hope you are right.

Well, you haven't steered me wrong yet, so I guess I will.
Oh God Oh God, Were All Gonna Die!
It is that time of the year, the time for reflection and figuring out what means something to us. It is that time of the year where we make big promises to ourselves of sweeping change in the new year. It is that time of the year that we take a look back, and hopefully see the...

Happy belated birthday
That was an excellent point! The loss of bottoms would probably make more people turn in embarrassment than the top. You are the only one to say that

I would not like working the night shift at all. I have a lot of trouble sleeping during the day.
Hey, whether you celebrate or not, the name of the day is Christmas and I wish you a merry one.
Happy Holidays to you all!
