Hey Everyone,

New Hookups, New Website, New Matt.  I’ve had enough!  I have been a terrible keeper-in-toucher for far too long.  Sure, I’ve kept up with some, but for far too many it’s been ages.  I’ve decided to change things – namely, myself.

So Here’s the New Me – facebook using, twitter-tweeting, youtube-broadcasting, email-sending (and answering) Matt.  Who do I give credit for the new me?  Well, many of the people who will be reading these words just as you are now.  When I was back in the States, so many people told me how they love to get my updates & watch my videos – whether I am sharing with monks in temples, or eating live creatures that dance around in your body on the way down.  So thanks for the encouragement & the excitement to stay hooked up with what’s going on over here!

It’s all about connecting.  And more than anything else with all these fancy high-tech shenanigans, I just want tostay connected to good friends.  I enjoy so much the times I spend visiting family and friends – talking about life, and marveling at what our Faithful God does in and through each one of us as He takes us down our road of life.  For me, those times only come once a year now as I cross the seas, but with just the tiniest effort in this connected age, we can.., well, keep connected in between.  So, it’s time for me to do my part…
