So I'm Matt-Tastic. T to the A to the S to the T to the I to the C. Thanks to Fergie spelling is fun again.
I'm notoriously selfish person and I'm always down for a good time.
Some of my interests are;
Movies, Live Music, Recorded Music (anything in the alternative realm), Having Fun (this may include getting drunk or smoking "the dope"), Reading Harry Potter (shut up, it's like crack for geeks), Air Hockey, Roller Blading, Drawing.
I have aspirations of someday becoming a Tattooist. I often draw things for friends and even more often draw things for myself. I'm working on My Lucky Charms Themed Sleeve (originally inspired by the colorful bits of chalky marshmallow goodness in the cereal, though the designs have less to do with the cereal these days)
Most of my pieces I've drawn myself and the bulk are done by the Incredible Lila Way from Enlightened Art in Oakville Ont. Also appearing on my arm is the Astonishing Aaron Hill also from E.A. in Oakville (the Pumpkin, I call him Gordy. The Cherries and the Swallow on my forarm).
Ive been lucky enough to have alot of different artist work on me. Some of the One Time Wonders who've graced my epidermis are, Randy from Stigmata, Cloud from Dermagraphics (both in Guelph Ont) Jenn formerly of the Lucky Devil, Eric and Wes from Newtribe, Criss from Abstract Arts (All in Toronto)
Thanks to everyones who's made a mark. It really is appreciated.
Extra points to Greg Kidd of Sal's fame your a superstar and I owe you large.

2008/07/30 12:48 So it's been two months since my last post. I've been spending alot of time at Sal's with Greg and the rest of my time is split between my horrible retail job and my beau Ry' Ry'. Thing are pretty alright. Ryan requires alot of attention (much like his cat) which normally I don't mind because we have so much fun together. But I wont deny that lately I feel more and more disconnected from my friends. The more I go out to catch up with them the more I think Ryan resents me for having more going on than him. It's a bit of a tight rope me thinks. I've gotten a few new pieces a pot of gold, a green diamond, wings on my ankles and I'm almost done my super hyper mega awesome chest piece. Got two hours of color work done today and in a couple week we'll do the text and the touch ups and then it's onto planning my back.
into the future
2008/05/16 11:12 so it's been a while since I posted anything so here comes a small update. It's not May fifteenth I'm still working my horrible retail job. But things are beginning to look up. Me and Ry' Ry' got a place together and everything is going well so far. Domestic life seems to suit me. I think he gets annoyed with my drinking. But it's once every three fours weeks that I really go out and get stupid. Which isn't so bad. And besides I tolerate his constant toking (less tolerate and more join in actually)
so thats about it for now. Told ya it would be short. I'll post again when something substantial happens, you know get a good job, or Spinerettes album finally drops...
Matt-Tastic.
not the Tuesday I had invisioned.
2007/10/23 07:28 Today is Tuesday Oct. 23rd. And I had imagined today going very differently.
Today I was suppose to meet J.K. Rowling. The author of the Harry Potter books with my friend and ex, Patrick. I figured this would be a good time to have a conversation with him about our future, and how romantically there was none. Patrick is an amazing and incredibly loyal guy. He was laboring under the mis-apprehension that with time I would figure out my shit and we would be together. And today I let him know this was not the case, indefinitely. He seemed really upset. And although he left the ticket to the J.K. Rowling meeting I don't want to go without him. I feel so horrid that I hurt him. But he needs to go find someone else to pour himself into. I'm never going to be the kind of person who wants to cuddle all night, or have someone be on top of them all the time. I require a freedom Patrick doesn't understand and he requires companionship in a way I don't understand. All this being said I feel awful that he's hurt. Because despite everything he really is an incredible guy. He's just not the right person for me.
I don't know what happens next. I hope we stay friends atleast. It'd be weird not having him in my life at all. But I guess he may need that to heal completely. I'm partly worried that when the sadness passes he'll do something malicious out of spite. I guess I'll see.
Fear Fest
2007/10/22 20:57 So yesterday I went to Fear Fest with Ryan, Gibson and Marcus. It was fun! It was a good idea to go on a Sunday as there were way less people than last year (I made the mistake of going on a Saturday Night right before HalloweeN). The weather was amazing aswell! We did damn near everything, we only missed out on a couple rides near the end of the night due to long lineups. But we saw all the haunted attractions which were good, the best being the two by the water ride (I forget the name) and the corn maze... Ryan, Marcus and I all toked a little which made us extra jumpy! All in all it was a good day. Except apparently the excitement of seeing gay couples anywhere but an episode of Will and Grace has not worn off. I didn't notice but Ryan said that alot of people were staring. I don't really care but I get the feeling Ryan and Gibson did. At one point some little kid yelled fag at me as he was riding off in the safety of a roller coaster cart. I caught up with the little shits and gave him a scare. I told him if he has something to say, he'd best be a man and say it to my face. When he and his three friends all looked like they had prepared their bowels for imminent release I told them that Its better to be a fag than a little bitch and walked away. What was I going to do? Beat up the twelve year old homophobes? Please they were stupid kids. But I certainly did give'm a scare. Apparently the only thing worse than a fag is having being beaten up by one. I guess that'd be pretty emasculating. Anyway that was my night it was fun! I'm gonna attach some pics so enjoy! P.S. I photograph very badly as of late. For this, I am sorry.
