Out With The Old, In With The New (To Me)

Say hello to TJ.

Well, I've gone and done it... I bought me a Jeep TJ. How do you like it? My Escort has served me very well for more than 5 years, but it was time to start driving something a little more impractical. My 2003 Jeep TJ comes with: dual tops, air conditioning, 5-speed manual transmission, CD player with subwoofer, and a snazzy red paint job. 

Today's The Day... Or Is It?

All will be revealed in due time.... maybe.

It Burns Us

This isn't supposed to happen. I'm not supposed to get sick. I have zero contact with other human being thanks to work. I suppose it's just gone and weakened my immune system. Ugh. It's not terrible, but congestion is annoying. So taking drastic measures, I head to the drug store... and pick up some Buckley's... you know... it tastes awful, but it works. Well, sort of. It did well for my sore throat, but it did nothing for my congestion. That and it burned like nothing else. I suppose I should just stock up on Neo Citran. Now, that's the good stuff.

Shocking Twist.... postponed

Ok... two days starting now.

The Most Shocking Twist Ever...

In two days... The most surprising and shocking post EVER will change the face of Matt's Blog forEVER! Whatever you do, don't miss the first 10 minutes!

I'm Singing In The Rain!!!

Oh, wait... no I'm not... I'm just standing here getting wet.

Well, it was time for another interesting traffic study. This time in St. Catharines. We got to stop traffic wearing safety vests and hard hats, standing behind pylons (yes, the pylons will protect us... of course they will) and ask the perterbed drivers where they were coming from and going to. Then it started to rain. And then I had to pee.

Listening to Music, My Way

So, most people who use MSN Messenger (on Windows, at least) have the new version, which has a cool little option that will display the name of the song you are currently listening to on your computer. The catch is, of course, that you have to be using Windows Media Player. I first thought that the feature was cool enough to switch from using WinAmp to WMP, so I did. However, I soon found out that I really liked WinAmp more. So, I did a little searching and found a handy WinAmp plug-in that'll use the "What I'm Listening To" funtion of the new MSN Messenger 7. Sweet. If you're so inclined, the plug-in is called Toaster.

Best... Video... Ever!

I saw this video on the eBaum's World update today. If you're around my age, you'll probably appreciate it immensely.

The Champ Makes a Statement

Ah, finally! After a long off season, it was Champ Car season again on Sunday. After Paul Tracy qualified on the pole, my hopes were high he could start the season off with a win. But alas, it wasn't to be. Sebatien Bourdais, the 2004 series champ, came from 4th to win the race with some good passing and some good strategy when it came to tire selection. Paul Tracy ended up in 2nd, which isn't all that bad, but if he's not careful, Bourdais will run away with it again this year. The other Canadians didn't fare so well... Alex Tagliani finished 15th and Andrew Ranger ended up 17th after being pushed into the wall.

The next race is May 22nd in Monterrey, Mexico... They really have to do something about that gap in the schedule.

Spreading Like A Virus

Slowly but surely, this blogging thing will spread to everyone who uses the internet... then it won't be cool anymore, and no one will do it... but until then, the cool kids are still doing it and i get to introduce the newest blogger I know... Corey Benn. That's right, THE Corey Benn of Mr. Dressdown fame. Go check out his blog he named Borrowed Time. Why he called it that, I have no idea, but he now sits in my links section to the right of the screen.

While we're over there, lets check out some of the other links I have there... Of course, first there My Website, which everyone should visit five times a day. Also over there is a link to the Champ Car website... FYI, the first race of the season, the Long Beach Grand Prix, is tomorrow at 4:00 on TSN (or NBC, if you prefer the American networks). There's also Homestar Runner, everyone's favourite internet cartoon. There's a link to the Great Lakes Water Levels Site, which is quite interesting if you care about how much beach there'll be on Lake Huron this year. And my final highlight today is The Picard Song which should be heard to believed.
