Dragging My Feet

by Michael Chappell · October 4th, 2007 · 1 Comment

That’s what I’ve been doing. Well, at least let me make a few arguments in my defense. Just a week or so before returning to school I had some crazy stuff going on in my life (if you don’t immediately know what I am talking about, check out my facebook profile and you [...]

Wow I’ve Been Behind

by Matthew Smith · September 27th, 2007 · No Comments

You know, you’d think I’d have written enough “sorry I’m not around” letters by now, but it appears that’s not the case. It seems to have been over a month (more like two) since we’ve really published any amount of new stuff here.
So I’m sorry.
I was jolted back to reality today during a phone conversation [...]

Weekend Excitement

by Matthew Smith · July 14th, 2007 · No Comments

And now for a quick post from the “road.”
I’m currently chillin’ in Midtown Atlanta with the illustrious Ms Stephens. Last night was a blast; we met up with Rob, Trey, Robert, Grace, Leilah, and her friend Emily. We then went out for a “night on the town,” so to speak. Dinner at the Spaghetti Factory, [...]

I couldn’t resist - that was the first thought that popped into my head when I returned to my desk! And it’s Friday - you gotta give me a break!
In other news, I’m headed to the marvelous metropolis otherwise known as Atlanta. I’m planning on visiting with friends, [...]

Weekend, Fourth of July, Etc

by Matthew Smith · July 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

Monday has arrived, bringing yet another lazy, relaxing summer weekend to a close. I attended my first Macon Music game, highlighted by a rousing performance of the National Anthem by my friend Sam. Other than that, the game was uneventful and the weather was oppressive. I’m not even sure who won since we left halfway [...]

Working Saturday (With Poem)

by Matthew Smith · June 22nd, 2007 · No Comments

Tomorrow is Saturday, and Saturday will find me at work. You see, I can clock as much overtime as I wish. And last weekend I got myself a nice shiny speeding ticket in my nice shiny new car, therefore: I’m working. To commemorate the occasion, I present to you a rarity around these parts: the [...]

Black Roads, a White Dress, and Cajun Food

by Matthew Smith · June 12th, 2007 · 3 Comments

A few short weekends ago marked the the wedding of Desiree Roy and David Comeaux. I was much honored to be a groomsman in the wedding, and had been looking forward to the weekend with great excitement (yes, even the 8 hour drive).
Chappie and I hit the road around 8 AM on Thursday morning with [...]

Mom, You Win

by Matthew Smith · April 29th, 2007 · No Comments

Yesterday, my dear mother accused me of paying more attention to the sentiments of my fraternity brothers than to her own requests. I won’t bother to comment on the validity of this statement, but I am here to say that, in one aspect, I’m going to try to listen to you: the budget.
I have never [...]
