I caved...
I set up another Facebook account.
I haven’t added anyone yet. I’m waiting until the end of the week to do that.
No myspace, orkut, or anything else.
facebook is my exclusive home for social networking.
I did quit something else though. Smoking ended last week. It’s been almost seven days without a cigarette. Lots of gum now. Lots and lots of gum.

Sincerity
Today, the little boy I have been watching after left to go overseas and spend time with his parents.
I’m sad.
I’ve known him for a year. Watched over him since the day he was introduced to this world. Watched as he learned to roll over, crawl, and take his first steps. He’s learning his first words now.
I’ll miss him.
I had an opportunity to go. I passed on it so I...
Video Games and Distraction
I’ve been playing a bunch of games lately and I find that they are an appropriate waste of my time.
Work has been slow. I’m about to change jobs, so there’s that.
PS3 only, for right now. I plan to invest in both an XBOX and a Wii in the coming months, as well as some sort of sound system for all of them.
Lots of things I want that only work can provide.
I’m...
Removed myself from the digital world...
It’s been about a year and a half since I’ve updated this site.
I just removed myself from Facebook and from Myspace.
This will be my only outlet from now on through until I find something else.
Welcome home.

I got soul but, I'm not a soldier...
Moved to the suburbs of Chicago almost two weeks ago.
Not really sure if this was the best or worst decision of my life yet.
I donated my truck to charity before I left Georgia because it would have cost way too much to keep up with and as inspiration to make my life better. So far, I’ve had an interview with the local grocery store that went horribly. Being someone who has conducted...

A brief moment...
I’ve made up my mind to never decide to set anything in stone again.
In the last three weeks, I wanted to continue with my plan to join the navy, go away to culinary school, and sit on my ass. Guess which one I’ve actually accomplished?
I also set out to write this entirely obtuse post, but continue to be distracted.
I’m posting what I’ve got here for now. I’ll...
Why I Sought The Advice of A Prostitute...
Truthfully, some of my most open relationships are with the few crackheads and prostitutes that frequent the parking lot of my job. These are the people who I spend most of my time with, so they know me pretty well.
I asked a prostitute that I have developed a happy how’s-your-day relationship with what she thought of me last night. Her honest answer, (I realize that it couldn’t be...

Search
I don’t know why I spend so much time on the internet.
It’s not like I’m going to find what I’m looking for because I’m never really sure what I’m looking for.
Maybe I need a break from all of this webspace for a while.
Be back in a bit. Going to stretch my mind…

I'm late.
If there’s anyone reading this who wants the most up-to-date updates, check out my twitter page at twitter.com/mattparadiso.
Obviously, Tuesday came and went without an update.
All is well though. My father was here for Thanksgiving, now he’s gone home again. My cousin came down from Chicago, so the entire formation of my mom’s family is here, minus my uncle, who is working...

We Have A Winner
I found me a job.
Working at a convenience store about two miles away from the house.
Crazy ass schedule keeps me busy until I can get something that involves my actual skill set.
Until the next time I get to update this, which might be Tuesday, have fun.
Period Piece
It’s time for another update.
I am still looking for a job.
I am still sitting at my house.
I am still not doing things that I should be doing.
More on all of this later.
Obama, Obama, Obama
I was originally going to write this like an episode of the Smurfs and replace all of the verbs with Obama. As in, I am really happy that things are Obamaing up, but I can’t seem to Obama a job anywhere. When do the good times Obama?
I realized that would be bad.
I need a job. If you or anyone you know has one for me, send me an email. mattparadiso at gmail dot com.
Thanks so much.
Seasons?
While driving tonight, I encountered a phenomena not seen since my last life as a college-age slacker in southern Connecticut.
I was on my way to a popular shopping destination when I saw a bunch of what appeared to be sharp red objects on the side of the road. Erring on the side of caution, I moved my car to the left to avoid running any of them over. A few feet later, I began to see more of...
“Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of...”
– Buddha
I've decided.
Even though I can’t seem to talk to people in real life about my problems, I’ve decided to put them up here.
The other blogs are being abandoned; they have been for quite some time, but I’m saying it out loud to make it “real.” I will be posting a link to this blog on the other two.
Maybe I can convince google to buy this site too and I’ll be much better in...
