As many of you will see now, I’ve gone ahead and changed up the theme of onemattDOTcom to something new. This one is a bit easier for me to edit, as the YP-Mag theme I was using was just too buggy with Wordpress 2.6. So I hope you like the new digs and if you have any problems with this one, please let me know! FYI - If you know of a cool Wordpress design I haven’t got downloaded (I have over 100 saved) let me know.  I’m always in the market for a cool new theme to play around with.

One of the eternally upsetting things about reality TV in the 21st century is it’s hold on us.  We have to watch, even though we know it might either be completed staged or at least somewhat scripted.  I mean, on Survivor, someone other than the contestants choose the location of the show, someone other than the contestants choose the challenges… Take last night’s new Bachelorette…it was Hometown Date week where DeAnna was to meet the families of all four men left in the competition (if that’s what it’s called).  For...

Greetings readers…it’s been a while since I came and talked to you about what all has been going on in my life, so I thought it best if I took the time to do that today. I recently accepted a new job working for a great company here in Birmingham called Travel Nurse Solutions as a Recruiter.

This is the end of my third week and I’ve got one nurse who has an offer, and two others that will be submitted...

So in the course of human events, if you have to choose between Top Chef and the American Idol season finale…choose Idol.  Here’s why. Last night, we had three shows taping on the DVR…one was the American Idol season finale (2 hours long from 7pm-9pm), the Boston Legal season finale (one hour long, 9pm-10pm) and the new episode of Top Chef (one hour long, also from 9pm-10pm).  Because of certain circumstances, we didn’t start watching Idol until around 7:35pm.  We figured we should be able to catch up with it before the show is...

As soon as I saw the microphone descending from the rafters, I said out loud “Please don’t let Michael Buffer be at the end of that mic…” and apparently today is not my day for wish-granting. I have to admit though, instead of the pomp and circumstance of previous shows where all they wanted to do was try and build up the finale to some unreachable height, I thought the intro and the whole mood tonight was one of self-realization and I’m actually very proud of the Idol crew and stars tonight. I’m proud to say I’m...
