Thanks Jim.

Though I think someone's posted the link, or at least how to find it on one of the MG boards, so we'll see how Matt reacts to that :(

I can't believe he commented in Jen's blog though ... I had to do a little bit of digging to find it, but I'm not going to tell you how :P
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

that's how I found it. Had he not of posted in her blog I would never have known. I honestly feel bad for Matt, but his attempt to go into hiding wasn't done very well. I hope he takes it in stride though.

You almost feel like you're snooping around to get into someone's life.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

If you read the comments on the latest post.. it looks like the link has already leaked out.
Some of you probably think I left. But was I ever here to start?

Hopefully things will turn out better this time.

Well, now Jennifer's getting harassed.

However, I love the Penny-Arcade banner she's got now. :lol:

lmao, and I love that whoever uploaded it to Matt's site named it "shitcock.gif"!

Never knew Matt and/or Jennifer was a PA fan.

Somebody sent me the link to Jen's blog, so I read some of it because it's fairly interesting. But now I feel dirty. :( I'm not sure why, I read people's LJs all the time, but I feel like I'm harrassing Matt/Jenn just by going and reading her personal thoughts. Ugh.

I know eh? it almost feels like you're intruding on their lives. I don't know why, but it just seems like it's meant for friends/family and you shouldn't be involved.

the photos they've posted of their trip have been fantastic though. It makes me want to go to Europe right now.

Welcome
Before commenting I would kindly ask those that I did not email and invite to read this blog to refrain from commenting. The list of those people initially emailed the url to this blog were personal friends and colleagues. I am not looking to ‘consider’ others to be added to this group. No offense intended whatsoever.

If you’ve stumbled across this blog, or have been made aware of it on various fan communities, you are more then welcome to read. But please, respect my wishes and refrain from commenting.

With the help of Pete Watson, I’m trying to get the Mblog archives transferred to this new blog so that they’re accessible. I’ll update when I know more.

Yes I know that Rob. lol He has said it's okay to read if you've stumbled upon it by accident, which I did.

From what I can tell, Jen posted some Peta photos in her blog - the kind of 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' type. So somebody made a rude comment that because of this she was supporting the objectification of women. Comments had been turned off by the time I got there, but Jen disagreed with her (obviously), the person continued ranting, I think Matt might have got involved. Then the person commented on another entry that she was writing to Amnesty to complain that Matt was supporting the objectification of women. And Matt and Jen aren't happy. Matt's talking about breaking his links with amnesty and all the other good organisations that he supports.

This makes me so sad :cry:

i find it funny that people waste their time bothering these individuals. the anonymity of the internet brings out the worst in many people.

Yeah, Matt's now removed all support for Amnesty, because he doesn't want the organization to get tarnished by any BS reports against him.

My god this is stupid. I hate people.

I really do.

Oi.

I'd rant about all of the silly people out there who are more concerned with making a name for themselves than they are of other's values, beliefes, and feelings... but it's been pretty much completely covered.

So all I have to say is oi.
