Matt! There isn't one bad thing I can say about him. Well... Other than the fact that he's a murderer. Seriously. This giant of a man once ate a blimp and it's passengers! I've seen pictures. They don't lie.
Honestly though, Matt's one hell of a guy. In fact, he's the only person to send me, Lando, a Christmas card last year. It shows that he has a lot of character. Any man who will send Lando an X-mas card after being named EXCESS BLOWJOB (my interpretation of his name "xjsb125" on the hub) upon being introduced for the first time, is a very respectable person.
Matt, the CM's newest owner really seems to care about this site and the members a lot. For one, he and Josh don't need to go to all the trouble of working on all the videos and concerts they share for the "7 Weeks of OLPNESS" but they do it anyway. Not only that, but Matt and I have discussed other projects he's working on and ideas he has. I'm not going to say anything, but what he's planning is a HUGE amount of work and I for one am grateful to have someone in the OLP world who's as selfless as he is.
There are a lot of music fanclubs and communities out there, I've visited a few, but none have ever been like the CM. It's because of members like Matt who provide a place like this and the OLP HUB while always striving to make and keep it the best it can be. It's one of the reasons a lot of the members can even fill out information for these CM Directory Profiles. Because a lot of us here get to know each other, at least a little bit and it really does create a closeness between fans. The CM is a really comfortable and welcoming place, despite the jokes that are inflicted upon the noobs, but that's as far as it goes, it never becomes offensive or overly controversial that people don't want to come back here. The reason for this is because of Matt, the admins and mods. Matt told me he tries to go through every post, to read what's going on and make sure everything is holding up to the standards he's set for the CM. He may not post all that much, but he's almost always around and doing his best to get to know everyone, even though you may not know much about him!
What else can I say about him... Matt's a religious person, I think that this is a huge reason for a lot of his personality traits that I've mentioned. He tries to treat everyone equally and when he's getting a little upset, he'll let you know in a polite and gentlemanly way. He doesn't get overly angry because as soon as he starts to get a little agitated, he'll sit down with a bowl of his obsession, yes that's right a bowl of "Banana Pudding" and everything that was bugging him seems miniscule in comparison.
(I'd just like to clear up that Matt didn't have any banana pudding when he ate the blimp, so we can't really blame him for that incident.)
So it's 5:00 am and I can't think of what else to say about this Southern Giant. He's one of the most trustworthy people I've never met and I really respect him!
Oh yeah! And he likes Wrestling, works at Wal-Mart, (used to work night shift like me!) and he isn't the chinese guy I talked to when trying to call him one night at 3 am!
