B365V2.21 - About me

Okay, admittedly I have been around this page a little more frequently this last week or so.  While one might attribute it to my new iPad (no thanks to the fucktards at Cellhelmet) there has been another more self serving reason behind it as well.  I joined a group on Facebook of Pittsburgh bloggers, which was foolish on my part since I consider blogging to be the illusion of work,  but some of the locals that's like to read are on there as well as some friends or acquaintances from my past radio life are on there.  So there could be a whole new batch of readers to this page, not likely but anything is possible.

Beside writing right now is giving mean opportunity to kill time until my breakfast arrives.  So there is the optimization of down time involved by writing while sitting here waiting.  And I feel like the blog is due for a new introduction of me for my potential new found readers.

If you hadn't guessed the Facebook link, of the web link that brought you here, my name is Matt Pritt.  If you have heard of me, it was most likely because I used to work with far more well known people in Pittsburgh.  That comes from having a 12 run in radio , where I worked with the likes of Lynn Cullen, Doug Hoerth, Jerry Bowyer, Bill Cardille, Jack Etzel just to go about mad name dropping.  After all if I can name drop than I must be cool.

As for what I do now, since the radio career is in the rear view mirror, I am the general manager of Smithfield News, a 24 hour newsstand/convenience store in downtown Pittsburgh.  I live what can best be described as a Hoerthian lifestyle.  I have more than the one pot, one plate, one fork which he always mentioned on the air, but not much more than that.

Excuse me by my god it was hot in Kelly O's.  Just finished breakfast and stepped outside and the breeze clued me in to just how warm it was in there.  But as I was saying, about my lifestyle,  or Doug having the Rusty Nail and Eat n Park to hang out at, my hideaways of choice are Kelly O's, the Squirrel Cage and Uncle Jimmy's.  But there are plenty of things that others consider commonplace for which I have no need.  Cable TV is one and if it wasn't for my boss demanding I get one and him paying for it my cell phone would be another.  I really hate that thing.   Any guilty pleasures on the TV end of things I usually watch online.

I am single and see no change in that status any time in the near or far future.  I would like to see a study on why people are attracted to each other, because my choices in women would make more sense if it was an ingrained genetic abnormality on my part.  It is one of the reasons I plan on staying single, if someone were to say they like me, my first instinct would be to think "Okay, so what is wrong with you?"

Alright, I made it back from breakfast and my Sunday walk, which ended up being 6+ miles and now I am back in the friendly confines of my apartment.  That is another thing about me, I try to get out on Sunday's and take a walk.  I don't do it religiously, some weeks I am just too wiped out from work, but more often than not I try to get out for a least a mile or two.  Doesn't help with my fatness any, but it beats laying around my apartment doing nothing.

Off to the right you will see my bookshelf.  All of the books on it I have read at some point in the past.  I don't do book reviews, there are far more skilled writers out there that do such things and everyone's taste is different, so my bookshelf is more a delve into the types of things I like to read more than any sort of recommendation on my part.

As for questions or comments on my page, my comments are open to the general public as is the blog itself.  I do not require someone to be a Google user to access or comment on the page, simply because like books, everyone has their own tastes and likes when it comes to blogging platforms, Blogger for me was the easiest to use after my two previous platforms both closed up shop (Multiply, Yahoo 360).  When Multiply closed they provided the tools to import all of my material to Blogger, which is why I am here.

Anything that I failed to mention, by all means hit me up, but not in a Ray Rice kind of way.
