Apparently there IS regular readership here. Good to know, I'll keep going for now. Although I do think postings are going to become far less frequent. I intend, from here on out, to treat this ONLY as a "here's what's going on in life on a general level" type of blog. No more political commentary and very little current events, and especially nothing personal. It's too much of a liability career-wise to have this thing indexed so well that all you have to do is Google me to find it. Eventually (and by eventually I mean "in the fairly near future") this blog could be shut down altogether, assuming that the "I-don't-want-my-life-all-over-the-internet-anymore" phase I'm currently in continues. I'm connected enough as it is and Lord only knows what information the crazies out there can put together on you with just your name and a search engine.
My last post comes across as much more frustrated than I actually was and I apologize if anyone is offended. I'm not angry, but I'm definitely at the point where it's just not a good use of my time anymore to be giving everyone minute-by-minute updates on the world of Matt. Some people post on blogs because they want feedback on their thoughts. Others post just to get their thoughts out there and don't care if anyone reads or comments. I am in it for both, but more so for the feedback on my thoughts than just broadcasting my life. I like to discuss things. I like input. That's what my blog has always been for. Since it's not really serving that purpose, it's time to cut back a bit and dedicate more time to the far more pressing things going on in life, like actually finishing college on a high note. That would be nice. Hence the less frequent posts.
I do read each blog that is listed on this blogroll daily, although I do not comment on every entry. It's always been my impression that I'm more of a feedback/comment monger than everyone else, and hence I've assumed that most of my friends are on the "I-blog-to get-my-thoughts-out-there-and-not-for-the-feedback" end of the spectrum. But if you want me to be a little more active on your own blog, let me know. I want to keep in touch with everyone, but honestly right now email is far quicker and more efficient for me than leaving a comment trail on everyone's respective blogs. If you send me an email asking what's up, I WILL reply.
Thanks for reading everyone, and I'll try to keep it short and sweet for however much time is left.

I read your blog, too. Actually, it's a conversation point between Ronda and Jeff and I... we'll talk about something and then realize we all read it on your blog...
... so there's that. Kinda creepy.
But yeah, do keep on writing... it's the only way we ever get to hear about what's going on with you. I'll try to write more, too, but as you said, there's usually other things to do that would be more... worth my time. But updates on how things are going are always good, right?
Hang in there, and have a good semester.. maybe we'll see each other soon (although at this rate, it'll probably be on the other side of the pond).
I'm not going to be home all day -- I work noon to nine today (which means I'll be leaving within the half hour). But I'm going to get my schedule for next week and then I'll email you with it.
