Last Post?

Well peeps. I would like to say thank you for following me the past couple months. ITs been hard to keep you too updated because of such an iffy internet connection in Tarpum Bay. I would like to thank you for following as best as you could. I would also like to shout out to my actual followers. All three of you. You three have meant the world to me and if there is anyway I can repay you please feel free to let me know.

I am currently sitting in the Philidelphia airport with 2 hours left of a 7 hour layover. This is almost as a 7 hour hangover. I have been excited to come back but also a little weary of leaving Tarpum Bay. I have had such great times there, but I know it will be better at home. There was only so much to do in Tarpum Bay. I mean right at this very moment...im sitting in the airport watching news about a man being burned to death in the world sauna championship. Welcome back to America I guess. Land of the free.

The last couple days were very cool in Eleuthera. We went out with lester a lot to pick fruit and have different local delecasies. (prolly didnt spell that right) We had a wilk salad and some good cracked conch. If you dont know what Wilks are....your on the internet. Ok scratch that. I tried to look them up and couldnt. They are sea snails otherwise known as the boogers of the sea. Well thats what I call them. It was all fun until our stomachs started to hurt....

I would also like to report that I am thinking of continuing the blog to let you all know a little more about my life as it continues. If you think this is a good idea...please post.

Thanks again and here are some pics of my trip.

Love

Matt

God Bless

Interesting Fact: Im very excited to see you all.

Interesting Fact: Tiger Woods sucks

God Bless America

Well peeps. The time here on my internship is running down. Today was my last official construction work day. It will be hard to go home after meeting some great people here but I am definetly looking forward to seeing you all. I was walking down the street today and one kid yelled my name from a moving car and then I recieved a hug from another. I mean, at this point im pretty much a local celebrity around here. I guess being one of 2 white guys in town has its advantages. So anyways. Done with the mushy stuff.

So like I have previously mentioned, today was my last work day. It was a tough one at that as well. I was down in the pit the whole day and the weather was taking its tole on me. Lets just say. I was hotter than lance bass at a ricky martin concert. We moved to forms up the previous day and poured the second stage of our wall today. The canadian group is great and they arent as big of hosers as I thought they would be initially. Having said that, if I hear one more thing about the Edmonton Oilers someones going to end up with a horse head in their bed....courtesy of Clarise of course. I have also decided that my machete needs to come home with me. I was thinking it may not be worth the hastle trying to get it in the country but having thought about it...I dont think anyone will care. I mean the thing is completely rusted and isnt even sharp enough to cut warm butter. I mean grandpa dick would have an absolute fit using this knife.

So I also hate to say it but I forgot my camera back at my place so the photos will be on hold another day. Going on the free day tomorrow I will have a chance to take some good pics anyways so it will prolly be twice as good.

Im out homies

Love

Interesting Fact: recently we have found a huge sea cucumber population out in the bay. Pretty much it looks like a lot of people went number 2 in the water. This is twice as bad because the canadians are 5 times more excited to take an aqua dump.....God Bless America

Tropical storm colin is weak....very weak

Well its pouring again here in ole Tarpum Bay. It rained heavily last night and slowed our concrete project down because of sediment getting behind the forms. This means that hopefully, it dosent rain over by the site tonight so we have to deal with the same crap tomm morning. We have been getting some chopppy waves here again on the exma sound side. I think this is due to the tropical storm becuase the same thing happened when the last tropical storm went by us. This one has already broken appart however. The storms name was colin and like all things named colin it was pretty weak and embarrassing to watch. (Please post comments below making fun of colin).

We have been having a lot of fun here the past month and it is going to be hard to leave. I have met many great people here and done some wonderful things. I am very greatful for all the support you guys have given me and I look forward to talking about everything with you in the future. For the past month I have missed you all alot and felt like this place was all work and no fun. Recently I have seen the better of my ways and have relized how nice this place actually is. Tommorrow is my last official construction work day and we are doing a huge concrete pour. It will be sad to leave the site but hapy at the same time. Please tune in tommorrow for a lot of pictures of the site.

The canadians and I have still been going at it pretty hard in disscussion about whose country is better. They still seem to think its them but of course....I disagree. Canadians suck....but they are better than the french. They smell bad. But I mean if you count colin I guess we smell bad as well. Im telling you man foot fungus is a disease......

Lester the jester has taught me many cool things out on site and Im looking forward to showing you all the cool dances that I have learned. And by all i mean the 1. And no. I refuse to do it at the banquet all you Next Step readers.

ok guys. have fun tommorrow slash today.

Love

Matt

Interesting Fact: Im leaving you to go jump off the dock....hopefully I dont see a 4 foot wide stingray like last night.

Hockey Eh

IIIIIIIIII''mmmmmmmmm BAAAAAACCCCKKK

Sorry about the delay everybody. The internet cannot be trusted down here. I have found a spot to steal internet but as soon as I found that our interenet started up again. Its playing jokes on me. You have missed a bit since my last post so I will get right to it.

This week is the annual Tarpom Bay festival. If you didnt know that you are prolly living under a rock because it is being broadcasted on every station worldwide...well maybe not every station...but while I havent turned a TV on in about a month, judging by the turnout there had to be a spot done on BET. The festival is of the chain. I mean there are people dancing, drinking, gambling, singing, eating, shooting some bball outside of the school, theres a couple of guys their up to no good, trying to make some trouble in the neighborhood, there was one little fight and my mom got scared she said your moving with your aunty and uncle to belair....Ok well maybe the second half of that is from the fresh prince of belair theme song.. But otherwise everything that is going on is nice christian stuff right?!?!?! The festival is actually pretty cool for the town of Tarpum Bay. It brings lots of people into the community and is actually somthing the citizens have to do. The kids hang out at the bbal courts and have a great time.

The second major thing that I have not reported on yet is that we have our third and final group of our Eleuthera trips. They also happen to be from Canada....eh. I have been asking multiple questions from trying to figure out different myths from our friendly neighbors to the north....Canada...Americas Hat. My first question I threw at them is how many people in Canada actually wear canadian tuxedos? Most of them did not even know what the heck a canadian tuxedo is. I mean talk about not liking your country. Thats pathetic. For those of you that dont know what one is...your currently on the internet so look it up. If you are to lazy here is a link that will display many canadians rocking their best. thecanadiantuxedo.com. I know what you all thinking. why didnt us americans think of that first. Its alright. I dont think it looks that good plus we have the dickie anyways. The next question was do you really say EH after everything they say eh. They said that they usually dont eh. But sometimes it sneaks in there when they dont notice eh. They arent embarrased to say eh..eh.. Its not like they try and broadcast that they say it eh. So all in all, they say it sometimes eh. Third I asked what they thought of america. At this point I think they were all a little ticked about the questions I was asking them so they made fun of me about the US changing from french fries to freedom fries after they didnt back us in the war. So then I came back and said. Im sick aboot all you hoosers teasin me eh. Go back to americas hat and make me some bacon and wear your tuxedos at your stupid hockey game hoosers....then I said. Hockey sucks eh. That shut em up pretty good. Except little did they know I wore my badger hockey shirt the night before....Canadians are so gulible.

Well that about it for the night. Its like 435 degrees here and I need to go to bed. Its been awesome writing to you and have a good monday. Dont get caught reading this, your boss will be mad....unless they read it too. Which they prolly wouldnt like it...so keep your cursor on the minimize button and have a good day.

Love

Matt

Interesting Fact: My hair is turning blonde. I think its about time to get out of this country. If one more person says I look like Lance Bass someone is going to lose a finger.

Interesting Fact: A small girl on the trip told me that my name Matt is short for madam. Then she said I should wear a pink dress, blue wig, glass slippers and purple makeup. She then stated "If you shave your armpits you will look more like a girl". I told her to go move rocks because no one touches my armpit hair but me....

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

Interesting Fact: there is no interesting fact....

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

Interesting Question: Who is a better hero to society? Captain Underpants or Captain Sully Sullenberger. Discuss amoungst yourselves

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
