A New Me
Any body who knows me, knows that I love to eat. Kind of why I am going into Culinary. But I have eaten to much, enjoyed pop a few too many times. Have not really tried to run it off (the calories and sodium, and all that junk, that is).
So in an effort to be the "fit" Matt I used to be I am going to, starting on Monday, drink no pop AT ALL, go to the gym at least four times a week, eat breakfast every morning, and stop eating a midnight snack.
Do not worry I do not think I am fat and need to lose a hundred pounds, I just want to be fit again and be able to run for hours like I used to.
I want to say a special thank you to Corey Mann, Lavon Kil(my mother), and Lauren Makowski. You guys are my inspiration.
NEVER, NEVER QUIT!
This a poster I have had in my room for a long time now...the scripture reads, Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. James 1:12

Blessed
I am SO blessed to have the family and friends that are in my life! You guys are absolutely amazing and I can not thank you enough. For any one who reads this and has helped at any point in my life, THANK YOU! You guys give and give and give and do not expect any thing in return. Do not worry some day Chewy's Diner will open and all family and friends are welcome! I love you guys
THANKS

Driving
Sorry that I have not posted about my accident and told everyone about it yet. I was waiting because I took pictures on my phone and I was going to wait until I got pictures on my computer. For some stupid reason I can not get them up.
So anyways I was getting ready to go to school one morning and I almost stayed home because I was not feeling well that morning and I felt as if I was going to vomit. I live on State Road 23 which is a VERY busy street with the speed limit at 50MPH. Every time I pull out of my driveway I look three to four times. As I approached the end of my wet and a little foggy driveway I came to a complete stop and looked three times both ways. I saw nothing on either side except for a car coming on the right side about 150 yards away (the lights were all I could see). So I proceeded to pull out making a left turn. As I pulled out and got three fourths of the way out...BAM, CRASH, CRAP, DADS GOING TO KILL ME!!!!!!! I got hit in the rear drivers side door by a Jeep Cherokee going at least 50MPH. My car was totaled and I could not open either of the drivers side doors from the inside or outside. The rear doors window totally busted out. Most of the glass went in the back seat but quite a bit went on the hood, windshield, and on my seat. My rear axle was busted and tire flat! I could just barely open my trunk.
I was okay and the girl and boy were okay in their car. The girl driving was only sixteen years old and the boy in the car with her was only eighteen. Everyone walked away with scrapes and bruises but nothing major.
I felt very sore in my neck and my chest where the seat belt laid. My wrists were bruised up and scrapped and my knees hurt.
My Dad did not kill me, he was VERY calm and understanding, and helped me get a new car the next day. A 1998 Honda Accord LX Coupe 2 door. THANK YOU DADDY!
I guess what I am trying to say is, if you feel like you are going to vomit, then just stay home!

New Design
You probably noticed something a little different at the top of my page. Chewy's Diner is what I would like for my Diner's name to be. As of right now no one in the world has it as a Diner's name so nobody take IT!! Thanks
Like, Dislike, go back to old, keep this...please let me know

Game Day
Notre Dame vs. North Carolina 3:30
I look for the Irish to show who they really are today. This is their second game on the road and we know how the last one turned out. This team this year is fired up, they want to win, and they want to have fun. The best part of all is so does the coach. Charlie Weis knows what he is doing and these are his recruits. Here are some facts about todays game.
Cameron Sexton is starting at quarterback. He is North Carolina's third stringer! Last week he went 9 of 16 throwing for 117 yards and a touchdown. Thats the whole game! For the year he has a 57.1 completion percentage, 359 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Their running backs are only averaging 120.8 ypg. Everyone says that Notre Dame can not run. We are averaging 103.6 ypg on the ground. So NC only has 17.2 more ypg than the Irish! So if they are struggling running the ball, and have a third string quarterback starting, I believe we have this game...BIG!
Look for the Irish D to step up, Clausen and Allen to have a BIG day, and 1 for 2 on field goals!
Irish WIN.....
31-17

Sculpture
Our first project for sculpture was to show texture's in a drawing of our name whether it be our real name, nickname, or just last name. It had to be at least six letters long. So I chose to do "Grathwohl". I recieved a 23/25 on this project.

Thank You Julio Lugo
I hope the Rays are ready to be stung!
Everyone who knows me, knows I do not believe Julio deserves to start. Lowrie is an amazing shortstop and he proved that tonight with the rbi single to bring in Jason Bay!!!! My MVP for the ALDS is BAY!!!

What a Week
First off I want to apologize for not blogging since Monday.
Monday my week started off great... I got accepted to Baker College!!! My first college choice!
Tuesday was a good day, I started off by going to school and I was off from work that day so I spent some time with Lauren. I also got Iron Man on Bluray.
Wednesday started off VERY bad! I got up and did not feel very well, I felt like I was going to vomit. But I had already missed school on Monday so I stuck it out and got ready. I went to pull out of my driver (On State Road 23) it was a bit foggy and still a little dark. I looked both ways and saw no cars coming so I pulled out. I get about half of my car out onto the road and CRASH! I will write more on the crash later. My car was totaled and I got bruised and sore pretty bad.
So Thursday brought another day and I had to go get my crash report, clean my car out, go to State Farm and try to find another car. While my father and I were in his apartment I got a text message from a number I did not recognize but the person told me they needed to tell me something important. So I said okay who is this and whats up? To make the story short my best friend from elementary days was killed from heart and kidney failure.
What a week!
