Now where were we?

It seems like ages since I have actually sat down and banged out a blog entry.  It used to be that I could grind them out with a certain amount of frequency with which I thought I could at times be insightful, entertaining and sometimes even funny.    What actually happened to the good old days as it were?  Well for that kids, it is time once again to gather up ye olde Peabody and Sherman and visit the Wayback Machine.

I am back

It has been a long time, probably too long, but I am getting very close to posting something brand new in this space.  Before I post something new however, let's kick off my return party with a little music, music that is more than appropriate for reasons you will find out about soon enough.  Excuse me if I continue to substitute my name for Mack in the lyrics however.   Return of the Matt just sounds cooler to me.

Maestro, if you please

Testing, testing

Found this little quiz on Facebook today, and since it has been ages since I have done anything on a personality test bent, I figured I would give it a whirl, just to see what came out. The test can be found here http://slackhalla.org/~demise/test/socialattitude.php

For the record, I think my result (which follows, is about as close as I have come on one of these tests in a long time. Political Values Radicalism 58.25 Socialism 31.25 Tenderness 31.25 These scores indicate that you are a tough-minded moderate; this is the political profile one might associate with a jaded materialist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a pragmatic attitude towards humanity in general. Your attitudes towards economics appear capitalist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as libertarian. To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, an idealist with few strong opinions. This concludes our analysis; we hope you found your results accurate, useful, and interesting.
