Introduction

Hey, this is my first blog not really sure whats gonna go down. I'm gonna try my best to use correct punctuation and keep opinions as respectful as I can. I was never really known for writing and it seemed everything I wrote was automatically dismissed from teachers and professors because of lack of effort and research. Well getting older, I want to be taken a little more serious, but not too much more ha ha. I just want to educate and inspire as I continue to be educated and inspired by others.  My name is Matthew. I'm at a weird place in life because I think society has a set bar on where you should be in a certain point in life at a certain age, but with the economy and the future looking never ending, I have created my own timeline. So when the "norm" of graduating college is early 20's I'm probably going to accomplish that milestone in my mid-twenties or later! The time frame of when I graduate does not bother me as much as the reaction when people try and give me their two cents about how I should have already done that or that I work at a place that you don't need a high school diploma to work for so i must be a bum right? Wrong! My company stock is valued at $2600 a share and you can only get the stock by being an employee. Not to shabby considering by 2012 we're going to cover the east coast and they already hit the 2 billion dollar a year mark 5 or so years ago...so its only going up from there.  Enough about work, this is my day off!  I plan on making a blog atleast once a week and I hope when I figure this thing out I can give you great inspiration and something to think about.
