I usually just check what my friends are saying now-a-days. it's the same 3 or 4 people that update...wish I saw some new faces updating.

When did liking Underoath become a new fad...

I see cheerleaders with their songs or lyrics all over their myspace.

I never liked them and I am SO glad that I never got into them.

NOW...if you want a really good band to check out...check out Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. It's the original singer of Underoath. I believe he was kickedout because they wanted to sound more poppy and he thought that was gay. He also hates Underoath...so please...do what is right, stop listening to that crappy band, stop being like everyone else...and listen to some hardcore.

http://www.myspace.com/mayleneandthesonsofdisaster

they are a southern hardcore band...it pretty much rocks.

oh...and don't like them if you like Underoath...that's like telling people you love Tom when you really love Jerry.

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 05:20:38 GMT

I just watched Sister Hood of the Traveling Pants...it was good.

I have an Ipod and it rocks, but I need help putting on video

Someone got fired at work...I am now working double

I am looking at what I wrote above and realized "that means I get more money" so that's a good thing.

I need to start a band and actually make it work

I hate when bands never work out

I have lost 30 pounds

None of my clothes fit

Ipods rock but they are a hassle to keep on you

SNL is alot funnier now but I can't laugh unless someone else is here cause I'm not sure what's funny

Spelling Bee's ar fun to watch

HOW DO THEY KNOW HOW TO SPELL THAT GOOD!?

I have watched over 24 hours of the show friends

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are getting back together...right?

It is quite a quandary to thee when I gander upon fellow friend's writings and they have suddenly began....talking all weird and making weird jokes.

I might be a firefighter...hmmm

What's up homemade ribs...you look delicious

So do you Cat...come here

I want to go see my dad soon

I owe him money...alot...I will have it all after my next paycheck so I think I will see him when I have it all.

David Spade is funny...no matter what.

I am getting a six pack...ggrrrr

I have been having dreams about EVERYBODY! but not all at once

last night I had a dream that me and a whole bunch of people were prisoners in a space ship in outerspace and we all had different powers and we were being tortured and we were trying to escape...my power was I could destroy stuff, I almost blew up the ship cause I was angry and being tortured.......I'm weird.

I NEED to start a band...

I am starting to get writers block...that sucks

I'm done

So what's up?

Thu, 25 May 2006 05:49:32 GMT

so nothing much from me...School just ended, I have to work all summer and that sucks but I need alot of money. I can't wait to go to Scotland in September. I hope that can be the time in my life where all my thoughts and feelings can just fly out onto a piece of paper. I want Scotland to be my Muse...but we will have to see.

I lost about 28 pounds and I got pissed that I have started to not lose as much but then I remembered that I work out every night...so now I'm skinny AND buff-ish

I love my girlfriend no matter what happens...We are in love and that's all that matters...that's a promise :)

what is that? Tyler Durden has a few words:

Sat, 29 Apr 2006 04:43:11 GMT

And you open the door and you step inside
We are inside are hearts
Now imagine your pain is a white ball of healing light...
Thats right your pain

The pain itself is a white ball of healing light
I don't think so

This is your life...
Good to the last drop
This is your life...
And its ending one minute at a time

This isn't a seminar...
This isn't a weekend retreat...
Where you are right now
you can't even imagine what the bottom will be like

Only after diaster can we be resurected
It's only after you've lost everything that you are free to do anything
Nothing is static
Everything is falling apart

This is your life...
Good to the last drop
This is your life...
And its ending one minute at a time

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake
You are the same decaying organic material as everyone else
We are all part of the same compost heap
We are the all-singing all-dancing crap of the world

You are not your bank accounts
You are not the clothes you wear
You are not the contents of your wallet
You are not your bowel cancer

You are not your grande cofee
You are not the car you drive
You are not you fucking khakis

You have to give up
You have to give up
You have to realize that someday you will die
Until you know that you are useless

I say let me never be complete
I say may I never be content
I say deliver me from Sweedish furniture
I say deliver me for clever art

I say deliver me from clear skin and perfect teeth
I say you have to give up
I say roll the ball
And let the chips fall where they may

This is your life...
It doesn't get any better than this
This is your life...
And it's ending one minute at a time

You have to give up...
You have to give up...
I want you to hit me as hard as you can!
I want you to hit me as hard as you can!

Welcome to Fight Club
If this is your first night...
You have to fight

I was listening to this song and it made me think about my life (which fight club always does) and everything is broken. I'm not saying I am not happy because I am happy it's just...if I do one thing it breaks off a piece of me...and when I fix that piece, it breaks off a different piece. I have now realized that some of those pieces have to fall off...even if they include people. Oh well..."You have to give up" "This is your life...And it's ending one minute at a time" thank you Tyler Durden.

P.S.
I'm an idiot...I use references from fictional characters for my life.

FUCK WISDOM TEETH

What the hell!?

Sat, 08 Apr 2006 06:02:23 GMT

What is with all the animals deciding "Hey, let's run in front of Matt's car and see what happens!"

I drive down the street at night coming home from work and see a cat waiting to cross at one side of the street...so I ask myself: WHY does he decide to cross it when I am driving past. I have to skid to a stop and let this bastard of a cat lose one of it's 9 lives just to piss me off. I was driving home the other night and these two cats are just lying in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! So when I drove up to them they moved...right? WRONG! They just sat there and then I honked my horn and they got the idea. And then up the road, one of their little buddies came to join the party and he was walking right towards me...I WANTED TO HIM HIM ON PURPOSE! but he looked like my cat so I decided that I wont kill him just incase my cat escaped from my house.

So let's go down the list shall we?

The different number of animals I have almost hit and killed while I have had my License:

Cat : Roughly 8 or so
Dog : 2 or 3
Fox : 3
Rabbit : 2

And believe it or not, (this is the reason why I am posting this...)

Wolf : 1

That's right...I almost hit a freakin' wolf tonight. I was driving home and I see the figure in front of me...and from the corner of my eye it looks like a deer or something, but OH no...it's a freakin' WOLF! and he gives me a "hey, what's up...don't kill me...I have kids" look...and that's pretty much the look I get from all the animals that have near death experiences with me.

All I'm saying is, the next time this happens...I'm probably just going to speed up.

Thank You

Signed,
Matthew McLachlan

Life is confusing and really hard but some how everything works out in the end.

Please God, give me this guitar in the near future. Even if I'm not that amazing of a guitarist...I would become so much better just because I would be playing this.

I love everyone. No matter what is said.

Thank you Reggie and your Full Effect for rocking Orlando to places it has never gone before.

Thank you for bringing 4 (and at one point 5) guys together to have an awesome time with awesome jokes and great memories.

Thank you for giving me my first crowd surf during a cover of Journey's "Any Way You Want It" which ended with me falling on the stage and getting up and putting my arm around you (Reggie) and then you calling me your little brother.

Thank you for playing some Neil Diamond after I yelled it out to you.

Thank you for being one of the funniest guys in concert ever.

Thank you for playing "Apocalypse Wow" for me because of all your songs that's my favorite

Thank you Reggie and The Full Effect for having such awesome stage presence and for being an awesome band with amazing music!!!

FRIENDS! FOES! LOVED ONES!

TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FADED AWAY FROM ME IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS AND WHO HAVE WISHED FOR IT TO BE THE WAY IT USED TO BE....

This is life...whether or not you ever decide to talk to me again..whether or not you look over at me and wish that we talked more or wished that I would just drop dead...

I am always here. I am always the same guy I used to be. The splitting up into different groups such as "The Crew" is just rediculous. Most of this has started from misunderstandings and over reacting and I just think this whole situation is funny. When I see you all looking over at me and giving me the most dirtiest looks, I just laugh...not because I don't like you all...but you all have failed to realize that this is (pardon my language) FUCKING HIGHSCHOOL!!!

ok...so this started out as me apologizing and me wanting it all to be back to normal...and in a way I still need it to be...but now I feel more like you can all just forgive me for stupid little things or you can stay on your path and keep me out of your lives forever....your choice...but you need to tell me so I can start putting my part of the effort into our friendship.

Sincerely,
The Guy Who Is Always Here

Today I wake up, go to school for 7 hours, come home, go to work for 5 hours and then go to sleep. Right before I get to sleep I realize "oh yeah...it's my birthday"

Sun, 29 Jan 2006 17:51:05 GMT

I'm sorry to all my friends who I don't talk to as much.

I really do miss it but I never have time to do anything now.

I have a job, atleast an hour of homework everynight, barely any time to even hang out with my girlfriend, and lack of sleep.

I hate hearing stories of you guys having great times and knowing that I wasn't even invited.

I hate when you guys call my girlfriend to hang out and don't even ask where I am.

I still miss you guys and I'm sorry if we aren't friends anymore.

I still love you guys

Now in the past I have always recommended certain songs for people to download. My new pick is the song "Precious" by the band "Depeche Mode"
It's an awesome song and I don't care what you guys say...it's amazing!

LYRICS:

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God what have we done to you
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Goodbye beard,

I apologize to you where ever you are but you just had to go. I know that you enjoyed me playing with you every second I could...but you will be back...someday, when you aren't just fuzzy and thin but when you are thick and manly...until then........

Matt's Beard
December 14, 2005 - January 15, 2006

(This picture was taken two weeks ago so it doesn't show how big it really was but if people have pictures of my GLORIOUS beard...please, do send.)

Today in Math class we went to the computer lab and Casey Ragar hit my arm randomly right when I went to click an answer on this practice test and he made me miss, so I showed him what he did and when I pretended to get hit by his arm I accidentally hit the "End Test" button...I then got a 45% on this practice test............

The moral of this story:
Make sure to eat breakfast and wear clean underwear.

JOIN THE FACIAL HAIR MOVEMENT!

WHO'S WITH ME!!!!!!!!!

Orlando

Thu, 29 Dec 2005 00:02:35 GMT

Seeing Andy perform tonight will be fun

I hope it will be fun

I am going to hang out with my girlfriend tomorrow whether she wants to or not. I think that we should go on a road trip to New Jersey, her friends would love that. I hope that my head stops messing with my emotions. I love my girlfriend and sometimes we argue, sometimes we are snappy, we are both control freaks and it's hard to work together, but we are also very funnym we love each other's company, we can just sit and talk for hours, we do things like play patty cake, bake cookies together, wrestle, watch Everybody Loves Raymond, torture my cat, play with turtles, kiss each other like we are fish...many different things that all remind me of how much I love her.

I love my girlfriend

I was born to be hated

Wed, 21 Dec 2005 18:33:30 GMT

My mom knows how to take something that is very exciting to me and important and make it worthless.

I got a car and all i want is that tag so i can actually drive...so she gets up and I ask her politely if she can go and she starts screaming because as my dearest mother puts it "a selfish bastard like your father. Your a horrible fucker that if you don't get your way you hurt people until you get what you want and you are a horrible son. You are going to have your children hate you...ask your father..."

My mom is a horrible person and I am here to say that I can't wait for the day that the only thing I have to do to avoid her is not pick up a phone. It would be a horrible thing to say that I won't cry when she dies, but it is probably true. She has just made me tougher in life and I thank her for that but can never forgive her for being a horrible mother

all this because I just want to be able to drive, she gets up and sits in her chair and when i ask her if she can get the tag she yells and says that she is busy...she is just sitting and staring off into space

oh and while writing this she comes out and says "when are you going to give your dad his present for christmas" and I said "well i have to buy it, then when I see him which might be after the new year I will give it to him" "OH SO YOU ARE GOING TO BUY IT?!" "sorry, you are going to buy it and I give it to him" "you know matt it's $40" "sorry mom i'll try to get it" "WHEN THE FUCK DID YOU EVER SPEND $40 ON ME YOU FUCKER!" "WHAT DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU!"

I HATE MY MOTHER!!!!!!!!
