Ladies and Nerds.
This is a quick post. My internet doesnt work downstairs. I am up in the girls room before they get here stealing our neighbors internet. This means that I will not be able to write later due to the fact of no internet....unless I were to sneak in here...but sexual harrasement lawsuits arent cool. These will also be canadians so they will be smelly so I dont want to be in here. Thank you for your sweet sweet time during your not so busy workday ( bc ur reading this). Thanks and hopefully I can write later.....
Love
Matt

hello
Welcome back everyone.
Not much has happened in the past couple days as much as trips go. I am happy to say however that my wonderful mother and girlfriend were down here visiting, thus, the reason I have not been writing. Dont worry all my fingers are still in tact. Today was a hard day of work. I tied rebar and worked on getting materials ready for the next crew. I was rewarded by a nice dinner though. My crew and I went out to eat on our weekly budget and got some good grub. I had a ribeye steak with fingerling potatoes and a desert of raspberry pound cake. It was great. Tommorrow will be much of the same work. Getting the site ready. I may bring clarise to the site with me tommorrow just to make sure all gets done. I feel I have a lot of athority with her in my midsts. To bad she does not scare away cockroaches from my bedside table.....Yea tell me about it. I know you dont think thats cool either.
Well its been fun.
Just like always,.....
Why stay up late and read this aweful blog when you can do it at work tomm.
For all my fellow next steppers that read this......we all know you have enough time to read this at work tomm. Dont think your fooling me.
Love
Matt

NERD ALERT
Ladies and Germs:
I have not been writing for awhile. I lost the tip of my right index finger in a circular saw accident. Im sorry for the inconvenience but im sick of getting blood all over my computer. Its hard to clean under the keys so it was best to avoid the situation all together. My blood type is O so if there is any need for a donor you can consult my computer.
I am very upset I missed comic con this year. I always go to San Diego to hang out with other nerds. I tried to send drew (One of my BFFs) haha instead. I was upset when one nerd stabbed another this year. I mean come on. Those nerds have bad raps anyways. Why do they need to be attackin others because they sit to close to one another.
Night
Love
Matt
Interesting Fact: I will start writing heavily again tomm.
Interesting Fact: Everything above has been made up....except for the nerd stabbing the other....what are nerds doing these days. Please yell nerd alert to warn others of nerds. Its for the common safety of society

Fire
Welcome to the fire.
Its only burning hotta.
I need to get some Wata.
Cutting weight like a wrestla.
I was working in the pit today and it was hot. The only way I stayed sane was by telling everyone I was hot. Then I would say....."Im also a little warm tempurature wise too. haha gets them every time. We got a lot of work done today and I attribute it all to my leadership. I stood there and watched all the work get done but I mean come on. If i didnt watch them, they would have slacked off and not done anything. My select crew of kids i picked worked well. I feel a little bad that we chose kids for a certain crew. I mean its like being the fat kid picked last on the dodgeball team. Just rediculous. If the big kid were to get picked first this time. He would have melted away 30 pounds down there...Missed the opprotunity I guess.
Spending time in the hood
Ive learned to rap pretty good.
If you could.
you already would.
if you wanna try you should.
I work alot with wood.
Not just plywood.
I dont deal with driftwood.
But am close to sainthood.
Thanks for reading. Thats all. Sorry very tired.
Love
Matt
Interesting Fact: Today a Tarpum Bay mans dog was barking. So I witnessed him pick up the dog. Carry him to the end of the dock, and throw him in the ocean. Toooooo funny.

yo
How yaaaalllll doing. We have had 2 groups from the carolinas and suddenenly I am catching myself almost saying yall. This sucks. The projects have been going awesome. After some time away from the systern pit we will be back in tommorrow. Which means I will have a crew down there and thats it. I have selected all the most physically fit members to go in the blazing heat chizel rock. I guess I am the supervisor because the say the perfection in my abs and wanted that same bodywork down in the pit....I can iunderstand that. But o well. Heres to another day of losing 10 pounds of water weight. It will be fun and there is nothing but great things to look forward to. Im happy to be showing off this beautiful area to my lovely mother and girlfriend starting this thursday and going until monday. Maybe then ill actually have time to take some pics and get a nice tan in. haha
On a more serious note... I would like to say that one thing that I have learned over this summer is not to judge people by what they look like and diffreernt stereotypes. I would encourage for you guys to do the same. For weeks I have dealt with groups that are strong christian organizations that claim to be right minded yet they come down here and judge people instead of helping or aiding them when they can. People have great conversations with locals then joke with others that they cant believe they werent asked for money. These people are rich in their own way. Other countries are not as rich as ours but they dont sit and whine about it. They live the way they like. These people value time with others and friendship which are values that our statesman should hold more dear as well. It hurts to make good friends and then see them cast aside by people that dont know them or their story. Donovan has a great restaurant and loves to talk with visitors but people belive he only wants buisness not friendships and good conversation. James asks to come to worship and be helped as a struggling christian and the groups youth pastor remarks about not being hit up for a buck. Its a cruel world that we live in but quite honestly...why does it have to be on our parts.
Love
Matt
Interesting Fact: That was prolly the only serious thing I have wrote on this blog. But I mean every word.

Barefoot Bandito
Well just another day at Next Step. Soaking in all the flirting comments of a bunch of 15 year old girls. I try and fend them off but with this mug it can be to hard at times. Thus I have recieved the nickname of the Barefoot Bandito. Im not a criminal but it is a crime what I do....What is it I do you ask. Well I will tell you. I unknowingly steal the hearts of high schoolers from states around America. Do I want to. No. Does it happen accidentaly. Yes. This is A gift but a disease as well. Keep me in your prayers so I do not get mauled or attacked by gaggles of women. Thank you.
I have been getting close over the past couple months with the man that owns the restaurant next to our mission house. His name is Donovan and he likes to ryhme every single sentence with the one before. He also has dollar sodas and conch fritter baskets......... that may be the main reason but he is awesome none the less. He claims to be the mayor of Tarpum Bay. He prolly should be seeing as that he is the nicest and straight forward guy here. So what he sounds like he is always hammered. The guy is cool to be around. Everyone that sees him instantly likes him. He claims I have secret bottles of cologne that make all the girls want me. I dont. But I am telling him I do to try and swing a deal for some conch salad.
Found another prayng mantis today. It was a male tho so I wasnt afraid. The females you have to worry about. I feel like thats the same for all species tho. Also there was a very chipper girl that found some baby geckos today. She kept showing everyone on the site and thought it was the coolest thing is the world. So. Naturally I told her that baby geckos are like baby birds and if you touch them, none other of their species go near them therefore they die. Yea. Nobody is happy on my construction site. Thats the way I like it. Increased productivity when everyone is sad. hahha
Have a good day today/tomm
Love
Matt
Interesting Fact: Today I went swimming with about 20 people...As soon as I got out...75% of them got stung by a school of jellyfish. Rookies. Then I told one kids to go pee on his to relieve the pain.....He did...I laughed.......Hard........Rookie

Ladies and Gentleman. This is a great day for me. I will officially name the machete....but before we get to that there is even bigger news than that. I have my first official follower.
Yes people this is very exciting. For many months now I have been skating through with all you half followers of the blog. This is official like a referee with a whistle. Bryan Lenz is my first follower andbecause of that I am eternally grateful. I would like all of you to write below at least 2 things that you like about Bryan. For those of you that dont know to much about him. I will give you a quick synopsis of Bryan.
1) His name is Bryan. Spelt with a y. But he prefers to go by the name hollywood.
2) He likes mimosa's. A little to much I think.
3) He is very fond of accessorizing. I believe bracelets are his main go-to in this department.
4) He currently works at Pacific. Which is a college in Cali
5) He is from Greenwood and is an ex qb.
6) He is still a fan of Brett Favre.
7) He is in a relationship with a female. (many think this is surprising...not the relationship..the female part of it.)
8) He likes long walks on the beach sipping mimosa's while accessorized near pacific thinking about if he could date Brett Favre.
This is about all there is to know about Bryan. Remeber all you half followers of this blog must write one thing you like about him. Participation is mandatory and maybe one day I will we can all be like Mr. Lenz. Thank you
This leads us to the official winner of the machete competiton. This was a very hard decision to make. All finalists are very special in their own way. There has been some behind the scenes bribage. But interesingly enough the winner did not participate in any of that. (This would eliminate dads answer of Iron Braun from the competition. However thank you once again for paying for my girlfriend to come down here and see me.) This only leaves three contestants left.
Drumroll please........
The winner of the name my machete competition is..............
Clarise.
Congrats to the winner who would be my Aunt Holly. The name you have chosen has been stuck in my head and has led to many movie quotes. I look forward to congradulating you in person. Everytime I see the machete I cannot help but say "Hello Clarise". For this you are the winner. Acceptance speach is allowed. Bragging is encouraged.
Thanks again for reading.
Love
Matt
Interesting Fact: Coke for the Bahamas is canned on the island of Nassau. Nassau has taken it upon themselves to decided that natural sugar tastes better than corn syrup. What does this mean you may ask. That all coke in the Bahamas is made with natural sugar.
