m@well i'd better do an <a class="hashtag" href="https://final.town/tag/intro" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intro</a> post here hadn't i. I'm Matt/Matteh. i be geeking most of the time and play games, sometimes live on twitch! more about that over at <span class="h-card"><a class="u-url mention" href="https://mstdn.games/@matteh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>matteh</span></a></span>. <br><br>other than that I work in health and safety/facilities admin, i am a dad to two boys, a husband to one wife, a friend to anyone who is decent. i like to read and write but have found that harder to do since fatherhood showed up and took up loads of space in my brain. also i am chronically online and reading means i'm not on the internet so i get a lovely sense of FOMO. <br><br>anyway, my aim is to start reading a book per month. I'll be reviewing them on goodreads but i'll tell you about them here as well, probably.<br><br>i also like music, a lot. i am a bit of a weirdo when it comes to music, as i like quite the variety. however, having said that, my default mode is usually catchy emo pop-punk and if you G-note me i stg...<br><br>i also try to run as my way of keeping fit. i've had most of 2023 off from this hobby due to some health issues but the aim is to be back to at least a 5k per week before the year is out.<br><br>i promise to try new things all the time and then don't. this year i said i'd learn how to make a song on a DAW and so far have a 30-second loop. does that count as a song?<br><br>i hate getting old, and am in this constant state of maudlin semi-depression about the bloody good time i had between the ages of 16 and 22. i am now 34. i miss the days of dozens of friends all in little groups that you'd go to for certain things, but the friends that i still speak to on a regular basis are great.<br><br>i lean politically to the left, i lean ideologically towards equity, i lean sportively towards Man Utd.<br><br>i can ramble on to fill hours if you let me, as you can tell by this intro post. btw this 5000 chatacter limit or whatever it is is bloody brilliant i'll be filling that at some point.<br><br>mostly i just exist here on the internet soaking up memes, spewing some well-intentioned faux-wisdom and ruminating on good times gone by.<br><br>i try to be funny but you will have to be the judge on how successful i am at it.<br><br>i wish i'd have done things differently but i don't regret where i've ended up.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://final.town/tag/bringbackmyspace" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BringBackMyspace</a><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://final.town/tag/bringbackmsnmessenger" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BringBackMSNMessenger</a><br><br>Peace x<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://final.town/tag/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://final.town/tag/introductions" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introductions</a>
