Man this site is lame-o. I haven't really done anything to it since the first two weeks that I made it. I have a bunch of comic ideas but I never really feel like drawing them.
I work 45 hours a week now.
I'm in a band called Something in Portuguese.
Summer ends in a little over a month. I've got to make something with the time I have left.
Peace.

Today was one cuhrazy day.
So it all started at like 10 oclock when Daniel calls me and I'm sleeping but am awakened by my phone vibrating and flying of my desk and hitting my bed, then falls under my bed. I call him and he says to be at Hoang's at 11 so we can go to Flugtag. So I get there and he cries because I was late and we pick up Hoang and we drive out to Tempe Town Lake.
Basically they just built a platform for people to build some kind of float device and run it off and see how far they can get. But before everything started we saw 4 awesome sky-divers jump out of a helicopter and go down really fast upside down then flip themselves around and land running on the ramp. We also saw a 25-foot Sparky, a Mardi-Gras car, a nerd airplane, an eagle, a Mr. T Car, Pac-Man, some Elvis' in a peanut butter and banana sandwich, and George Bush with some Taliban members in an airplane. Then it was really hot so we left and got some trashy Filibertos. I ate a whole chimichanga meal.
Then, we get word that there was a Cinco De Mayo party with free Mexican food. So we drive out there and have some really good quesadillas with guac sauce and chips then we watched little kids do Mexican dances. A dance party then broke out and we threw big beach balls at the dancers. There we got a bright idea to have a Krispy Kreme Khallenge and see if someone can eat a dozen donuts in less than an hour without puking. We also decided to buy a bunch of eggs and paint them with glow in the dark paint. The Krispy Kreme idea fell through, so we just ate some donuts.
Then the fights began. We wrestled at Amy and Hoang's house for a long time, Me and Daniel, Hoang and Aaron, Ben and Jeremy, Me and Gian, Jeremy and Brandon, Me and Daniel, and me and Gian again. Oh yeah, Hoang puked a lot...on his dog. hahah.
Anyways...then we got around to throwing our glow in the dark eggs outside. We tried to go for distance and the record was set by Charlotte and Hoang at around 35 yards. It was pretty crazy. The world record is like 109 yards so we have some more practicing to do. After getting egg all over ourselves, we cracked some eggtastic jokes and went home. the end. The Mace Windu video is almost done. Peace out yo.

Wow everyone. It's been over a month since I've posted on this. I really have been working on a few things. I've been trying to teach myself flash and I just have been running into a lot of problems trying to make something big for my first time using flash. That's why haven't been working on a new comic. Sorry to leave everyone hanging, when I just started a storyline but never finished it. One of these days I will just bust it out in an hour and put it up so you can see how the story pans out.
I've also had some homework that I had to get around to doing. Myspace also controls my life a little bit...Ok a whole lot. Anyways...
I have some up and coming projects:
a Top Secret Flash Animation
Stop-Motion Animation with rapping Star Wars figures
and A day in the life of Matt and Natalie: A live action film.
Hopefully I can start on all these and also get all my finals done and still keep my sanity. Is it sad when my hobbies take precedence over my school work? For those of you that think so read this article: http://www.paulgraham.com/hs.html
well have a nice day. I should have some kind of content within a week on here.
peace.

Hey everyone I added a new update. Go to the extras link then click on Crazy Photo Adventures. I've put up the pictures that I have from our Vegas Trip and Hoang and Amy's Wedding. Other pictures are to come. It took me a while as I had to find where picasa was hiding their templates and then i had to figure out how to edit them. But now it's really easy to add more galleries. I am just in the process of writing captions for Mexico and Me/Daniel/Brandon's snow outing.
Slowly but surely I'll get this site to the way I want it.

Yo yo yo.
So the new comic has been up for a few days now. In case you didn't get it, it's a story line that I made up. It will run for a few weeks or so.
I have sad news though. My laptop power cord decided to stop working. So that means I dont have access to photoshop until I get a new power cord that is like 50 bucks. I cut out the bad part and tried splicing it but to no avail. I might try to just back up everything and use my parents desktop because I still have like 30 minutes left on my laptop.
I have been working on getting a bunch of pictures of real life adventures up. I've just been experimenting with a good, easy to make gallery.
I don't know when I'll get a new cord but there are computers everywhere so I might just wait a bit before I dish out 50 bucks.

http://umpc.com/video.aspx
...almost done with the comic. I'll probably ink it tonight.

It's 2 o'clock and I am about half way done with this weeks comic. It has a special guest star that will run for a while. ummm not much other news.
They released some new pictures of the origami that I have been talking about. I was actually disappointed. It looks like cheap plastic. Here is the link: http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/07/hands-on-with-intels-umpc-prototype/
I hope that they release a pretty sweet phone/pda/mp3 player/camera that doesn't look like crap. The Treo looks pretty dumb in my opinion. That fat Blackberry is even worse, and got sued. They have about another year and then I'll probably looking for something to that effect.
Hopefully I can get this comic up before I go to Mexico this weekend. Peace out.

Sup guys.
So I got the first comic up. I've been trying to think of ideas for more comics, but I just have some pretty dumb ideas. But, maybe I just need to get those out so that there is room for the good ones. I need a more exciting life so I can include it in my comics.
Any astronauts out there that want to trade places?
Yah, well today in animation class I learned about bits and bytes and binary code. I kind of understand how a computer works now.
Apple released some new products today, and being the nerd I am, I was excited, but very let down. The new ipod boombox is pretty ugly. Seriously, if someone spent 300 dollars on an ipod, why would they buy a 400 dollar "boombox" with absolutely no funcionality except with an ipod or other mp3 player? New 100 dollar leather case for the ipod? What the heck are they thinking? Just because it has an apple logo on it? And new Intel Mac Minis...they just made their cheapest computer more expensive.
In other news, there is a video going around about the new Microsoft Origami (Go to youtube.com and type in Microsoft Origami and watch the video) it's pretty sweet. I heard somewhere that the one on there is like a year old prototype so it should be much better. It's a touchscreen tablet. Also I read a thing about Windows Vista. It sounds like it is going to be a pretty sweet OS from the article and screenshots.
My English teacher told me that I didn't look like a nerd after I told her I was doing my research paper on the history of the internet. It's going to work side by side with the graphic novel I am writing.
I am almost done with the 5th Harry Potter again. I hate that Umbridge woman.
Goodnight.

So I put the cast up in the comic place. Today I made a trip to my friend David's house. He fixed my sister's laptop. He is pretty much a genius.
I got my haircut after that. Then I started watching Zathura. It was a pretty sweet movie.
"Get me a juice box biotch."
Sad to say I fell asleep during the end of it. I was in a really comfy arm chair and I almost never fall asleep during movies. I guess it was the whole writing an essay till three in the morning the night before did it.
I wrote down all the stuff I need to do for this site, and my upcoming projects for my room and stuff. It's nice to see it all on a paper, and then not care if it ever gets done.
Well goodnight my friends.

I lied.
So I lied again. I haven't gotten around to finishing the comic. I woke up and finished coloring the cast drawing. I still want to add some shading and a logo. So it is not done yet. Then I went to Li's Mongolian BBQ. You put whatever you want in a bowl and choose your choice of meat and they cook it all in front of you. It was so good. Only like 6 bucks for tons of food on Brown and Recker. I suggest you check it out. After that I started working on the comic, and out of procrastination I convinced myself I needed bigger paper and a blue pencil. So I went out to Michaels and bought me a 11"x14" pad of bristol paper, but I couldn't find the pencils I wanted. So I am ordering them online. I also got a quill pen. I played with it but it's pretty hard to use so I won't be using it on any comics soon. Don't worry I am not going to wait till the pencils get here to finish the comic. Tomorrow I should have no homework and nothing to do, but I am going to stop promising. Actually I don't think anyone reads this soo...I have to do homework...bye.

Well brothas and sistas, I didn't make my deadline for having a comic before the end of the weekend. I would do it, but I have to finish my book on Bill Gates so I can write a report on it and Pirates of Silicon Valley by Tuesday morning. But....tomorrow is President's day and that means no work for matty. So, when I wake up tomorrow I will finish drawing, then ink and color the first fathead comic in 2 and a half years. I have the new fatheads cast colored, except for the details and shading. So you should be getting that and a comic tomorrow. Be happy.
I have been coming up with a lot of ideas for projects. One of my newest ones is a graphic novel starring: well...me. It will start when I was about 10 and work its way up to present time. It is tentatively titled: "How I sold my soul to the internet". Others are fatheads t-shirts, window decals, and possibly some work with Brandon Welling.
Thank you and goodnight!
ps. If anyone has any problems, questions, or comments, please contact me. a.k.a.:Comment to this post.
