naw he should just move to Brandon. Nice friendly, small city. Good scenery, clean enviroment, far from the prying eyes of major media. Hell there's a bunch of houses being built just up the street from me with a view of the river and entire city, he could move in there.

For some reason that made me think about someone making a book called "The Day Matthew Good Moved To My Street."

Flight Recorder From Viking 7.....

is this an old song........or a new one? either way it's kicks all sorts of ass.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

it's from Loser Anthems. Possibly Matt's greatest piece of work. The album came out before AOB but was actually made after that album. It's amazing.

Personally I'm partial to "to my life as a circus clown"
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I'd probably die if I heard that - so maybe it's a good thing :lol:
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.

i digeth the new mg site. can't friggin' wait for merch!

*dreams of wearing a matt good shirt in Alabama, where not one damn person will have a clue what it is*
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
