Matt's 25 Things

Well, here they are. 25 random facts about myself. Have fun...

1.) It may be an exaggeration, but somewhere deep down inside I feel that Oprah might be the Antichrist. Think about it...... Yeah.... See? There ya go. Now you see what I mean.

2.) I treat my Macbook Pro and my iPhone like they are the fruit of my own loins. Precious children. It may be sad, but I love Apple products and would probably vote Steve Jobs president of the world.

3.) Marriage has taught me lots of things about selfishness, and it has really put the spotlight on how self-centered I am. My prayer is for me just to put Christ first, then Ellen.

4.) Lately I have realized how very "taken care of" I am. I don't need anything, my paycheck covers our expenses and I don't have to deal with having excess. God has given Ellen and I exactly what we need.

5.) LOST is simply the greatest show ever to be put on television. I don't care what you may say about time travel and jumping the shark. Your previously valid opinion is now just wrong. LOST rocks.

6.) I discovered through Ellen's 25 things exactly how she felt as she walked down the aisle at our wedding. If you're single and reading this, let me assure you that reading that (all her other amazing qualities aside) made the last 9 months of my life more than worth it. You should get married one day. And for all you married people, revisit that moment.

7.) I have a sweet tattoo on my right inner bicep that says "I am the Lord's" in Hebrew.

8.) If you'd like to meet a very critical person, introduce yourself to me. It's the curse of being an artist. I'd like to change that.

9.) I am more concerned with my fitness and physique than my fitness and physique would let on. I try to exercise 3 times a week and generally I am OK at doing that. BUT - as soon as the DVDs come in the mail a friend and I are starting P90X. It is going to rock my world.

10.) Best type of food in the world, according to moi: Mexican! Hola, mis nachos....

11.) Since I've known Ellen I've come to respect dance as an art form much more. It really is an amazing art that always shows me how uncoordinated am when I try to involve myself in it.

12.) My favorite "word": Boo-ya!

13.) My dream career: a stage and film actor who also writes plays and musicals.

14.) I love my iGoogle homepage. You should create one for yourself if you haven't.

15.) I like to wear my Converses a LOT - and I used to think they made my feet look more like snow skis than feet.

16.) I am absolutely not a "nice clothes" kind of person. Dressing up is great every once in a while, but I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of guy.

17.) I think Death Cab For Cutie is the most creative, poetic, musically satisfying band making music today. Keep up the good work, DCfC. Check out "Bixby Canyon Bridge" off of their new album, "Narrow Stairs."

18.) A big prayer of mine for myself right now is to surrender my plans to the Lord. I tend to make a lot of decisions without involving God in them. That's just not a good thing.

19.) I absolutely would lay down my life for my wonderful wife, Ellen.

20.) My wedding ring is manly and cool. It's tungsten and thick.

21.) That's what she said.

22.) Taxes, savings, investments....finances in general scare me to death.

23.) I feel like I haven't seen a movie at the theatres in forever, and that's an artform and industry I want to support.

24.) Even though I haven't been out to see a film in a while, I am basking in the glorious convenience of Netflix. Man, they've got a great service going on.

25.) My doctor measured my height for a couple of years at 6'5". I have since confirmed (a number of times) that I am 6'3". Now what does that say about that doctor...?



Boo-ya! I did it.
