So Whats All The Buzz About?

Why exactly does one start a blog? To be completely honest, I'm not sure what purpose it may serve in terms of advancing one's individual goals and endeavors. It seem arbitrary. Everybody has a blog. Eight-year olds have blogs. They write about what they want for Christmas. Well to be honest, I'm not sure an eight-year old would have the brain cognitive abilities to keep a blog going everyday. I'm not sure I do either. But what better way to find out, than to make a fucking blog.

So here it is. The life of Matthew Kimball. This documentation actually starts after my last official day of college. Yeah, I'm still in the dorm and all, but its coming to an end. Next Saturday is commencement, wherein I begin my life of impending debt and stress. I've become a cynical little bastard. I've chosen to pursue a career that isn't exactly marketable.

So what is it that intend to do? Social justice. I want to fight for people's rights. I want to end war. I want to end poverty. I want to end racism. I want to end sexism. I want to destroy capitalism. I want to preserve animal rights. I want to support local business and kick the shit out of the corporatocracy. Way to go Matt. Now just how do you intend to make a living? Good question.

So I created my resume last fall and I've been scrupulously searching for work. In six months of time, I've had exactly three interviews. One with Planned Parenthood in Concord, NH, one with the Vermont Freedom To Marry Taskforce in Middlebury, VT and one with Americans For Informed Democracy in Baltimore, Maryland. Unfortunately, the day after my phone interview with American For Informed Democracy, they emailed me saying they couldn't offer me a second interview. Great. That was a perfect chance to leave Vermont. But to be honest, its just Rutland, VT that bothers me. Too many pretentious emo kids and despondent adults. The despondent adults are unhappy, because they have to deal with their whiny and bitchy adolescent kids who will just have a fit if they don't get a blackberry phone. Fuck that. Fuck Materialism.

So a little about me. I love hardcore punk music. I also love Star Trek. I also write socialist political columns at www.therebuttal.com. I got a new music project going, but I don't have a permanent guitarist. Check the band out at www.myspace.com/weightoftheworldmusic. I'm graduating in exactly one week from Castleton State College with a Bachelor's of Science in Communication. Stephen Colbert makes me wet. Good Riddance is one of the most underrated bands of all time. Burritos never get old.

I SAID GOOD DAY!
