The Season of Lent or the Season of Complacency
Anyone can have their own personal demons to tackle. Whether it’s alcohol or sexual addiction, it can invade the well-being and function of any human being. Yet, there are those who realize the bad they are committing is hurting others and themselves. And it’s times like now, in the season of Lent, that an attempt at redemption is readily available. Or so it seems.
On Ash Wednesday,...

I got a job interview. Finally!
I have that tone of relief because I’ve been skimming tirelessly through job boards for jobs, sending resumes and cover letters like venereal diseases, hanging on the hope that the end result will be gainful employment…anywhere.
And now I’m very thankful that this is happening. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of the end for my job search. Who...

"How to Make It In America": Pilot
There are people who say they have good ideas. Then, there are people who do something about it.
No words were spoken louder and more telling than one of the minor, ancillary characters on the pilot episode of How to Make It In America. The Entourage comparisons were glaring even before the premiere since the producers of that show helm How to Make It. But the show gives that feeling of...

Dear AT&T
In a conscious effort to get back in the workforce, I’m writing fictional cover letters to places I have actually applied or want to apply for.
Dear AT&T,
What can there be said about your dominance in a fickle market like mobile telephony? I mean, you have an exclusive deal with Apple to carry the signal for the most sought after smartphone device—the iPhone. The allure of such a...

As Unwavering as a Stalker
Creepy title, huh?
That’s about the feeling I’ve been having over the past several months of the job search/resume submissions/career re-examination/weekly goat sacrifices. I know how crucial it is for me to not have a full-time job. At the beginning, it was all about my power of choice. I feel that I had all the leeway to choose where I want to go and what kind of job I wanted....

SHOCKER! A Sports Opinion Post
I know Tumblr isn’t the type of site that is fashioned for sports-related posts. In fact, I think most of the Tumblr nation of skinny jean-wearing hipsters didn’t even know a major sporting event was going on or, no less, knew what a blitz is.
But it’s my Tumblr blog and I don’t care if you deem it unsuitable for me to talk sports. I just had something on my mind after...

Dear Google,
If you were to enter the words “dependable,” “reliable,” “loyal,” “humorous,” and “a joy to work with” in a search query, the first result entry will be for one “Matt...

Dear Naked News,
So, um, exactly. Naked news.
Yeeeeah.
What I like about your operation is that the “news readers” still read the news, honestly and seriously. I really love the legitimacy you take in reporting the news.
And, oh, yes,...

Dear Beverage Channel
In a conscious effort to get back in the workforce, I’m writing fictional cover letters to places I have actually applied or want to apply for.
Dear Beverage Channel,
No effin’ way!
When I first learned of your concept as a 24-hour cable channel devoted to alcoholic drinks and the people who love them, I was like no flippin’ way this is real.
Then, lo and behold, there you are.

Dear School District Superintendent
In a conscious effort to get my ass back in the workforce, I’m writing fictional cover letters to places I have actually applied or want to apply for.
Dear Mr. Superintendent,
(Side note: For some reason, I felt I should have placed “Great and Powerful” before the Superintendent part.)
Education is greatly needed in America. As the younger generations continue to develop skills...
